hdsp multiface.

hdsp multiface.

[Patrick Shirkey]

I have this device and with the latest incarnation of the driver I 
cannot get audio out. I had it working about 6 months ago but things 
have changed a lot since then.

It will initialise and I provide an entry in /proc/asound/.


-----
./hdsploader
hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards
Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards :
Card 0 : C-Media PCI CMI8738 (model 37) at 0x9800, irq 10
Card 1 : RME Hammerfall DSP (Multiface) at 0xe9000000, irq 11
Upload firmware for card hw:1
Error opening hwdep device on card hw:1.

0 [first          ]: CMI8738 - C-Media PCI CMI8738
                      C-Media PCI CMI8738 (model 37) at 0x9800, irq 10
1 [hdsp           ]: H-DSP - Hammerfall DSP
                      RME Hammerfall DSP (Multiface) at 0xe9000000, irq 11
-----

I don't have a win partition so cannot check if it is the firmware 
loading problem others have witnessed.

This device has not been flashed.

//I'm not sure how to find out the firmware revision.

This is from lspci.

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

I use this command to set the mixer levels for the line out:
--------------
amixer -D hw:1 cset numid=5 0,0,16384
numid=5,iface=PCM,name='Mixer'
   ; type=INTEGER,access=rw---,values=3,min=0,max=65536,step=1
   : values=16384,0,0
--------------

This is what aplay returns but jack will connect:

--------------
aplay -f cd -D hw:1,0 file.wav
Playing WAVE '/art/1REC/020403-studio.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little 
Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
aplay: set_params:800: Access type not available
--------------

With jack I can connect alsaplayer but I get not sound from the outputs.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

this message appears when snd_hwdep_open() fails.
do you have /dev/snd/hwC1D0 with the proper permission?

I realised that cvs is still broken.

So now I'm trying with the 0.9.4 tarballs because cvs is at version 
0.9.0rc6 and I get about ten sets of this from hdsploader if I don't 
modprobe snd-hdsp first. hdsploader will still load the modules:

06903:  symbol=__deregister_frame_info;  lookup in file=hdsploader

06903:  symbol=_exit;  lookup in file=/lib/libpthread.so.0
06903:  symbol=_exit;  lookup in file=/lib/libc.so.6


I'm testing as root so these settings should be correct right?

crw-rw----    1 root     audio    116,   4 Jul  3 08:41 hwC0D0
crw-rw----    1 root     audio    116,   5 Jul  3 08:41 hwC0D1


If I load the module before running modprobe snd-hdsp I can see the card
in /proc/asound/cards but then hdsploader says this:

hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards
Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards :

Either way I still get this message from aplay:

I'll check the archive but I don't have windows and won't ever on that 
computer so it would be much nicer if it just worked. I would rather go 
back to an old driver than install windohs.

I missed the note from Paul saying it was a bug he wanted to fix.

Bummer.

Partick,

Sorry for butting in...

Is this similar to the problems Jesse Chappell was having? If so, his
'solution' ;-) was to boot Windows to get the firmware loaded, and then to
warm boot into Linux to actually use the card.

Yes, I've pretty much given up on Linux at this point because of these
'bugs'. On the HDSP 9652 (and I think your HDSP also) the mixer doesn't
work. (Another 'bug' that wants to get fixed one day. This has almost caused
damage with my studio monitors as I cannot turn down all audio going out
unless the application supports it. Not all Linux apps do. It eventually
gets to the point where it's just more difficult to use it than not use it.

Alsa does have a small place at this point in the area of external signal
processing, but I won't let it hook directly to my hardware anymore.

Very disappointing, but I'm sure it will one day get worked out.
