hi, this might sound funny, but after i wrote that mail and going through all steps again to post all the console output the card is working, so I just post this because it was a lot of work to get it running and maybe someone has a clue what the problem might have been. (hope this is the right list to post this). I am having problems getting my rme multiface+pcmcia card to run. I am on an old toshiba satellite laptop with debian, kernel 2.6.17. and I use alsa version 1.0.13. lspci gives me 00:00.0 Host bridge: ALi Corporation M1644/M1644T Northbridge+Trident (rev 01) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ALi Corporation PCI to AGP Controller 00:02.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03) 00:04.0 IDE interface: ALi Corporation M5229 IDE (rev c3) 00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 01) 00:07.0 ISA bridge: ALi Corporation M1533/M1535 PCI to ISA Bridge [Aladdin IV/V/V+] 00:08.0 Bridge: ALi Corporation M7101 Power Management Controller [PMU] 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 0d) 00:11.0 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC100 PCI to Cardbus Bridge with ZV Support (rev 32) 00:11.1 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC100 PCI to Cardbus Bridge with ZV Support (rev 32) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XPAi1 (rev 82) 02:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Xilinx Corporation RME Hammerfall DSP (rev 0e) so the card is there. alsaconf also recognizes the card, (following cards are found on your system: hdsp ... xilinx corporation [...] ok, sounddriver is configured ... but is not able to load. also cat /proc/asound/cards only shows my built in ali5451 hdsploader also could not initiate the card, the red error led on the muliface was still on. so I compiled a new kernel, maybe the old one was with alsa not as a module, but fix built in. I tried to find the snd-hdsp module anywhere on my system but could not find it. I found snd-hdsp.ko (but with "modprobe /path/to/sdn-hdsp" I also got an error). OTOH lsmod showed the snd_hdsp loaded. (could it be that this was an oss module?) First I also could not find the firmwarebinaries for the hdsploader, only the command "hdsploader". But I installed the firmware package and compiled it, and then there was a bin-file. so at the the end the thing is running... I think the problem was the original debian kernel with built in alsa, but no support for the hdsp? thanks for listening. marius. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
