[Reposting to whole list. Ooops] Hi Christian, I cannot help you with item 1. However, item 2 was something that bit me when I wanted a headless setup using a HDSP9652. I agree, things are pretty clunky. I believe it is a safety feature that all of the hardware mixer values are set to 0 at startup. hdspmixer does indeed set these to more useful values when run. Thankfully, there is support for setting the matrix mixer settings in amixer as well. I had a script that I ran at startup which set things how I needed. The numbering of the channels may make you scratch your head for a few minutes :) Behold! The following: #!/bin/sh # Route software outputs 9-16 to the ADA8000 (on ADAT2 Out) /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 34,8,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 35,9,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 36,10,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 37,11,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 38,12,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 39,13,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 40,14,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 41,15,32768 # Route the ADAT output of the ADA8000 (on ADAT2 In) to the other machine (on ADAT3 Out) /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 8,16,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 9,17,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 10,18,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 11,19,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 12,20,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 13,21,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 14,22,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 15,23,32768 # Route channels 1&2 from the other machine (on ADAT3 In) to the S/PDIF output /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 16,24,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 17,25,32768 # Also route the S/PDIF playback channels (50 & 51) to the S/PDIF output (24 & 25) /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 50,24,32768 /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=5 51,25,32768 # Set the clock source to Master 44.1kHz /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=11 2 # Set the preferred sync reference to ADAT2In /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=14 4 # Set the ADAT1 input to be S/PDIF /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=6 0 # Set ADAT1 output to be S/PDIF /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=7 on # Set Professional bit on S/PDIF output /usr/bin/amixer -q cset numid=8 on Hope this helps!
