Hi Maurizio,

next time please reply to the mailing list, instead of sending a reply
to my email address.

Yes, the audio quality of this and probably all RME cards is way better
than of all those prosumer audio devices. You can save hdspmixer
settings by the hdspmixer menus and you can make one of the setting
files the default, this way you only need to start hdspmixer. Running
alsamixer is usually unneeded, it provides a few additional settings.

Have you tested all 8 ADAT IOs? If so, do they work?
As already mentioned by my previous reply, here only 2 of the 8 ADAT
channels do their job.

I never tested an expansion. It works?

Regards,
Ralf

PS: Maybe you don't see the menu bar of hdspmixer. When using a top
panel, it could happen, that hdspmixer opens with the menu bar hidden
under the top panel. I'm using a script to automagically move the
window. Almost all, if not all window managers allow to move the window
by holding the Alt-key and left mouse button with the mouse cursor
anywhere inside the window.

Hi,

I bought my HDSPe AIO in May 2011 for exclusive usage with Linux.

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ aplay -l | grep card | grep -v HDMI
card 0: HDSPMx579bcc [RME AIO_579bcc], device 0: RME AIO [RME AIO]
card 1: EWX2496 [TerraTec EWX24/96], device 0: ICE1712 multi [ICE1712 multi]
card 4: USB [Scarlett 18i20 USB], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio]

On Linux I never got it working with anything, but the 2 analog channels
and just 2 of 8 ADAT channels. For testing purpose I installed Windows
and FreeBSD. The card is not broken, I know how to use TotalMix, I got
it running with all features and channels available, just not on Linux,
on more than just one machine. It suffers a lot from latency and xrun
issues, but is still usable for pro-audio usage, if not more than 4
channels are required. When using Ardour it does not work with plain
ALSA, you must use jackd. YMMV!

HDSPConf can't be used. You need to use alsamixer and hdspmixer.

Regards,
Ralf

[Alsa-user] HDSPConf in the RME HDSPe AIO

2020-05-10 Thread Maurizio M
Hello excuse me, I am writing to you because I have a problem with your 
application dedicated to RME HDSPe AIO sound cards. When I install Alsa 
Tools Gui, both the HDSPE Mixer and the hammer icon called HDSPconf are 
installed on the computer. Just this executable with the hammer called 
HDSPConf, it doesn't start, there must be some bugs because it doesn't 
work. Attention I use IBM Power architecture so I don't know if the 
problem is specific to my architecture while on X86 it is not there. Do 
you have news about it? Thanks
