I'd like to say thank you very much to everybody who helped me! The problem was my firmware version. I had version 10 and have upgraded to version 11. Now everything I have tested so far works like expected! Some important steps that I had missed on the path of setting up a RME Hammerfall DSP card (in my case a PCI interface and a multiface) on a Linux box using ALSA: * You can determine the firmware version by doing 'lspci -vv' * Firmware version 10 (0a) did not work for me, version 11 (0b) seems to run fine as far as I can tell by now. (This version is the current version on the RME webside). * If you use the snd-hdsp module you have to call hdsploader from alsa-tools after loading the module. * Things like un-muting, setting channel levels and channel routing is done in hdspmixer from alsa-tools. * Settings like Clock sync, sample rate and type of SPDIF in/out are set by the program called 'hdspconf'.
