Re: hdsp 9652

Hi,
   A couple of weeks ago I received the following email from Paul.
Apparently for him the new driver was working. However, for me it still
is not. The driver starts, and Jack will run, but the hardware actually
sends no audio.

   I have written Paul a couple of times asking some questions but have
not received a response. Perhaps Paul never actually listened to the
card, or perhaps he has different firmware and his works. I cannot tell
as of today.

   I'd like to find out if anyone has managed to get actually get sound
out of this with the new driver and, if so, with what version of
firmware?

   I see that Johannes wrote something on the Alsa Sound Matrix page
about downgrading firmware. Unfortunately I'd have to move the card to a
box with Windows, or install Windows on this box to try this. The note
is a bit old, and is also unclear about which DSP card he was doing this
for, so I won't do this unless someone can really tell me it works in my
case.

   Again, I know Thomas is trying to work on this, but I'm confused as
to why Paul would tell me it works? Just trying to move forward after a
long time with no audio.

   BTW - Thomas's hdspconf is a nice little tool that is very helpful
with debugging. If you're not using it, compile it!

In order to make alsa-hdsp recognize the hdsp I had to downgrade
the firmware of the card(bus) to revision 10. There is a flash update
tool available at
http://www.rme-audio.de/english/download/drivers_archive.htm
You'll have to do that in windows...

Thanks,

Hi,
   Has anyone heard from Paul on this? Another week's gone by. I checked
the archives, but didn't find any more info.

   I'd just like to make use of this card.

Thanks,
Mark
