The ASI6122 was officially ‘end of lifed’ by AudioScience a number of years
ago, which means that support for it is not included in their current driver.
However, all is not lost! You can downgrade the driver that was installed by
default to a version that will recognize that card. The procedure is:
1) Download an RPM for the replacement driver. Available at:
http://static.paravelsystems.com/audioscience/centos/7/4.13.00-3/hpklinux-4.13.00-3.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm
2) Open a Terminal and do ’su -‘ to get a shell with root permissions.
3) Remove the old driver by doing ‘yum remove hpklinux’. This will want to
remove some additional packages, including Rivendell itself. Go ahead and let
it do it.
4) Install the replacement driver by doing ‘yum install
<path-to-downloaded-river-rpm>’.
5) Reinstall the Rivendell RPMs by doing ‘yum install rivendell’.
6) Reboot.
Your ASI6122 card should now be recognized and usable in Rivendell.
NOTE: Uninstalling the Rivendell RPMs will not touch your *data* —i.e. the
Rivendell database and audio store— at all. We remove those RPMs and then put
them right back in the above procedure because they list the ‘hpklinux’ package
(the AudioScience driver) as a dependency and yum(8) has no direct method for
‘downgrading’ a package in place.
Cheers!
