Access of 2 RME Multifaces

Access of 2 RME Multifaces

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi,

hope this is the right list to post: I installed to RME Pci Cards with
a Multiface each. Running hdsploader finds and initializes both and
hdspmixer can also get used with both cards using the card select
buttons for card1 and card2. However after startup of jack, I only see
18 alsa_pcm in and out ports instead of 36.

Can someone point me to some infos regarding where and how to
configure that? I guess it has to be done somewhere in alsa, but I
might be wrong...

what ALSA device did you tell JACK to use?

~/.asoundrc

google for "alsa multi"

I think Jack can only use one output device?  There is a "hack" which 
should work on pro cards like the rme where you can create a virtual 
card which binds the two individual cards together.  You will need to 
use the wordclock or otherwise sync the two cards though

See the alsa wiki for details (hint it involves writing a customer 
asoundrc file)
