    thanks Paul, yes i think headphones it is - no time and the last
      time I try something as risky as installing this old interface
      outside the house...

          This happens with HDSP cards. RME has a page on it.

            
          Their story is that some of the older HDSP cards require a
          voltage level that the PSU fails to provide during booting,
          and if that happens, the card is never visible to the BIOS.
          They have a h/w hack to work around it, but I think their
          recommendation is to get a better PSU.

          
        However ... this has happened to me with an HDSP card in a
        machine in which it had worked for years. I did a kernel
        upgrade, and after the reboot, the HDSP card was never seen
        again. I installed it in 3 other machines, and it was not
        visible there either. This happened years ago (perhaps 4?) and I
        never got the card working again; I also moved onto computing
        hardware with no physical space for a PCI card like this.

          Hi folks,
            I have a problem - I'm mounting an exhibition and trying to
            install hdsp card with a multiface card. The machine I've
            been given and the only one available here has one PCI slot
            and several other more modern types. I've installed
            alsa-firmware and alsa-tools from source, bu the problem is
            that the card is not showing up with lspci and aplay -l, nor
            is it showing up cat /proc/asound/cards

            
            Any suggestions please? I've looked in the BIOS and the slot
            is enabled. There are no other PCI type cards installed.

            
            Thank you,

            
            Iain
