ok, so here is another weird thingy that i have found, not only o i have distortion when getting my multiface to run, i also have input channels routing to wierd places. if i watch my hdspmixer while sending an analog signal through channel 1, it also shows a vu through channels 4,5 and 6 ? equally, if i test a sine tone in pd, the vu meters on all input channels light up? weird behavior. oh, and all input and output sounds are completely distorted.... > actually lee, it stands a pretty reasonable chance of being the problem. > it bit ico and me quite hard, although to be fair, it appeared to be > fixed (at least for my cardbus bridge) in the mid-stream 2.6 kernel > series. well here's all the info i can scrounge up about my cardbus.... if anyone understands anything at all about this, i would be really greatful on a lead as to what i can do here. hexdumps and WPCREDIT comparison below. for some reason wpcredit does some wierd thing with the order of the dumps but its all there. as you can see they are not entirely the same but very similar. here's my rme pcmcia card (sorry bout the formatting) ----------------------------------------------- localhost tom # hexdump -v /proc/bus/pci/04/00.0 0000000 10ee 3fc5 0086 0200 0032 0401 ff00 0000 0000010 0000 5400 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000020 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000030 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0111 0000 0000040 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff 0000050 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff 0000060 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff 0000070 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff 0000080 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff 0000090 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff 00000a0 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff 00000b0 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff 00000c0 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff 00000d0 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff 00000e0 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff 00000f0 ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff 0000100 (and windows) -------------------------------------------------------- WPCREDIT Version 1.2a / Copyright (c) 1998-99 By H.Oda!
