Re: HDSP 9652 - Some first results, but lockups and no actual audio

[Mark Knecht <markknecht@attbi.com>]

Thomas,
   Thanks for the response. I'm wondering if the whole problem could be
that I've not run amixer at all? Is this required to actually route
through the mixer of the HDSP 9652? In the previous driver the mixer was
disabled, but if it is now enabled, then maybe I need to learn to use
amixer and not alsamixer, which worker before?
