Hello, I noticed that the driver hdsp.c now uses by default the "precise_ptr" mode of the RME HDSP cards. However, at least with the last release of the RME HDSP 9652, this makes the sound scratchy (probably sound repeatedly interrupted by short silence). It took me some time to find that this precise_ptr was the cause of the trouble (sound is OK if I switch this off). So maybe it would be advisable to switch back to no precise_ptr by default, letting the user the possibility to activate it using the card controls. I imagine other people have or will have the same problem as I have. As I got no reply from my last message, I would just like to report again the bug I found in hdsp.c: there is a bug in the begining of function snd_hdsp_proc_read() of file alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c: a pair of "{}" is missing after the first "if" if (hdsp_check_for_iobox (hdsp)) { snd_iprintf(buffer, "No I/O box connected.\nPlease connect one and upload firmware.\n"); return; } The consequence was that the "return" statement was done systematically and so the file "hdsp" always seemed to be empty.
