I'm hoping this time I hear something back from other owners of the same hardware. I recently purchased an RME HDSP 9652 card. The card is working fine for audio, but the MIDI interface is a timing disaster. The interface works, but won't keep time. A 2 minute song is Rosegarden takes abut 2:45 to play every time. You can hear how the HDSP isn't delivering closely spaced MIDI events together, but is sort of smearing them out. My machine is set up using the PlanetCCRMA system. According to Synaptic my Alsa driver is from CVS:20021216. Jack is 0.44. This machine works just fine with the MidiMan 2x2 interface. No timing problems at all. Has anyone else purchased this card? Used the MIDI interface on this card? Gotten better results with this card? Can anyone suggest how I could go about fixing this myself? I'm not a programmer, so really hacking the code is doubtful, but this driver is acting like there is just a basic mistake somewhere. Possibly I could find it if I knew where to look. I hope someone will respond to this email so we can get something going to get this fixed. I really need this interface to operate soon.
