I suspect that you still have an old alsa version, because the hammerfall_mem module is no more used to allocate the buffer's memory. I you happen to have an old version of alsa, it is probable that your card revision (0x32) was not supported at the time. Updating to alsa 1.0.2 should solve the problem. Thomas
