Hi Thomas, dear List here we go: dmesg | grep Hammerfall: ALSA /usr/local/src/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc1/alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:775: Hammerfall-DSP: wait for FIFO status <= 0 failed after 30 iterations ALSA /usr/local/src/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc1/alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:5059: Hammerfall-DSP: couldn't get firmware from userspace. try using hdsploader ALSA /usr/local/src/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc1/alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:5066: Hammerfall-DSP: card initialization pending : waiting for firmware ALSA /usr/local/src/alsa-driver-1.0.9rc1/alsa-kernel/pci/rme9652/hdsp.c:775: Hammerfall-DSP: wait for FIFO status <= 0 failed after 30 iterations Manually running hdsploader gives: hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards : Card 0 : PowerMac Screamer Rev 0 Card 1 : RME Hammerfall DSP at 0xf3000000, irq 58 Upload firmware for card hw:1 Hwdep ioctl error on card hw:1 : Input/output error. cat /proc/asound/version: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.9rc1.
