I'm quite sure that all output connections (from either the inputs or
the playback channels) are made through the HDSP mixer. However, it's

Roger,
I'm in the office right now, so I'll pop home at noon PST and happily try
out things.

Roger,
I'm just using an AI-3 for now. Nothing fancy.
Paul Davis told me maybe 2 months ago that RME had not provided him with the
programming information for the mixer, but when I purchased the card I didn't
realize the disconnect was quite this fundamental.

Thanks for the confirmation, Marcus. That's what I suspected.

Roger,
First, thanks for taking time to follow this through with me. This
has been helpful and I do at least feel like I'm starting to understand
what the software is tying to do.
When I tried some amixer commands I was disappointed to find that
they do nothing at all on my machine. No comma

Mark, have you looked at the block diagrams of the HDSP mixer in the
HDSP manuals, or read the technical overview of the HDSP mixer
hardware at http://www.rme-audio.de/english/techinfo/hdsp_tmhard.htm ?
They provide a fairly clear picture of what the hardware can do; but
it doesn't map exactly to

In the case of the 9652, you don't have headphone outputs, so you
don't have the Digiface's 27th and 28th outputs.

Roger,
I think the light is just starting to turn on, or at least I can only
hope... ;-) See if you can help me improve the following description.
I can think of my HDSP mixer as a device with 52 inputs and 26
outputs. The inputs look like:

Roger,
This is very, very helpful. Thanks for sharing this info. I am trying
to do similar things with the HDSP 9652, which is similar but a bit
different, I'd like to address a couple more things. (Darn...Tennessee
just scored!) :-((( 7-7
I just want to clearly understand the physical I/O
Is there a single amixer control to reset all of the HDSP mixer
registers? I recall that there's some mechanism for resetting the
HDSP (other than re-installing the module), but I can't find it now.
For now, I use scripts like this to configure the mixer paths:
#!/bin/bash

Yes. For instance, when recording 8 tracks, I'll generate a monitor
mix (for JACK's outputs) to outputs 1 & 2 like this:

amixer cset numid=5

Using latest cvs, I have been trying to get this device working for my

We could get sound out of the lineout port after using this command
