Sure, hdspmixer does work, hdspconfig and alsamixer don't.

Only ADAT 1 and 2 do work, all other ADAT don't work. Sample rates > 48KHz aren't supported. I own the card for 2 years now and nothing did change. Seemingly there's jitter, since the sound quality isn't that good with Linux, as it is with Windows. I get xruns even with high latency on Linux. A while ago I tested it with FreeBSD, they've got a driver too, but to do serious tests I installed XP some days ago, unfortunately I don't have the time to test it right now. However, the card isn't broken, ADAT does work on FreeBSD and Windows for all channels. You better get an older RME card for less money, OTOH you might not get PCI mobos in the close future. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
