It should work the first time without errors or you can't trust it IMO. I found similar errors to you until I decided to load the modules manually before running hdsploader. I use a multiface here. I run this script. # modprobe snd-cmipci; modprobe snd-mixer-oss;modprobe snd-pcm-oss; modprobe snd-seq-oss; modprobe snd-hdsp; hdsploader; # route jack inputs to line out # left amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 26,26,4000 amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 28,26,4000 amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 30,26,4000 amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 32,26,4000 # right amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 27,27,4000 amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 29,27,4000 amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 31,27,4000 amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 33,27,4000 # Set volume for analog outputs to reasonable level # and connect jack inputs to analog outs amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 26,0,4000; amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 27,1,4000; amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 28,2,4000; amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 29,3,4000; amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 30,4,4000; amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 31,5,4000; amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 32,6,4000; amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 33,7,4000; amixer -c 1 cset numid=5 34,8,4000; Save it as a file in your path eg /usr/local/bin/starthdsp make it executable. chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/starthdsp -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.
