Package: alsa-firmware-loaders
Version: 1.0.27-3
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
A dist-upgrade on 2014-04-17 replaced the old version 1.0.27-2 with:
Package: alsa-firmware-loaders
Version: 1.0.27-3
When running hdsploader (as I do on bootup), it failed to find
/usr/share/alsa/firmware/hdsploader/digiface_firmware_rev11.bin
I looked into that directory and found no hdsploader directory, just:
root@audentity:/usr/share/alsa/firmware# ls -alR
.:
total 196
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 9 2011
COPIED_FROM_lib-firmware-hdsploader_INTO_THIS_MANUALLY_CREATED_firmware_DIRECTORY
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97652 Oct 17 2007 digiface_firmware.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97652 Oct 17 2007 digiface_firmware_rev11.bin
I seem to recall having to manually create this directory back in
Sept 2011 (see the blank file I left as a marker), as it was
similarly looking for firmware there.
I don't know whether or not it used to look elsewhere for firmware,
or whether the firmware was deleted by the DU.
So I created the required directory, and all works fine as usual:
root@audentity:/usr/share/alsa/firmware# mkdir hdsploader
root@audentity:/usr/share/alsa/firmware# cp -a digiface_firmware_rev11.bin
hdsploader
root@audentity:/usr/share/alsa/firmware# ls -alR
.:
total 196
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 9 2011
COPIED_FROM_lib-firmware-hdsploader_INTO_THIS_MANUALLY_CREATED_firmware_DIRECTORY
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97652 Oct 17 2007 digiface_firmware.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97652 Oct 17 2007 digiface_firmware_rev11.bin
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 18 12:54 hdsploader
./hdsploader:
total 96
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 97652 Oct 17 2007 digiface_firmware_rev11.bin
I'm guessing that RME Multiface users may have to copy a different
file, perhaps like this...?
root@audentity:/usr/share/alsa/firmware# cp -a multiface_firmware_rev11.bin
hdsploader
This is obviously a kludge fix, but it works for now until the
package is fixed. Thanks for this brilliant package without which
my studio would be silent!
