Good point .... because i was the same error starting ld10k1 with -t 7 or with -t 8, maybe my old sblive has only 512 M samples only? Anyway sometimes seems the TRAM is not completly cleared when I use lo10k1 -s and i need to kill and restart ld10k1 then loads the patches perfect ... I really dont know was happen :( cat /proc/asound/version Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.8 (Thu Jan 13 09:39:32 2005 UTC).
