Me too.  The driver loads fine.  hdspconf works great.  My A/D
converter is happy.  i tried running the following script to
set all the mixer levels to unity.

for dest in $(seq 0 26);do
  for i in $(seq 0 51);do
    amixer cset numid=5 $i,$dest 32768 > /dev/null;
  done
done

However, i've never gotten any audio through the card.  Only silence.
If there is any patch available then i'm happy to test it.

Joshua,
   No, there is no patch or fix for this yet that I know of. Paul Davis
did write early in the week (4/22) he was going to work on it that day
or the next, but I haven't heard of anything posted yet.

   As a check, does you card identify itself this way:

[root@localhost root]# lspci
<SNIP>
00:0e.0 Multimedia audio controller: Xilinx Corporation RME Hammerfall
DSP (rev 68)

   I'm most interested in what revision you have? 68?

   Anyway, I share your frustrations, but I've pretty much given up.
It's been months now since I've had any Alsa working. Linux is now just
an email environment for me. So much for taking advice on which card to
buy!! ;-)

Cheers,
Mark

Yah:

00:0c.0 Multimedia audio controller: Xilinx, Inc.: Unknown device 3fc5 (rev 68)

Yah, hex 0x68.

Have you complained to RME recently?  Maybe they aren't giving
the Linux people the needed support.  i'll send an email in
that direction today.

I have a HDSP with multiface on my laptop. I know this is not exactly 
the same but I think the drivers share alot of code. I have experience 
problems with the matrix mixer. It does not seam to be stable, after 
rebooting it works sometime and sometimes not. I have not been able to 
figure out any pattern in the behavior yet.

Hi Peter,
   In an email from Paul Davis 1-2 weeks ago, he made a statement that
the 9652 (The Hammerfall) and the HDSP 9652 do not share much code at
all. I Am unclear whether the HDSP Digi/Multi products and the HDSP 9652
with everything on the card share much. Certainly it would be easier to
maintain the drivers if they did.

Thanks,
Mark
