Dear all, I heard that VIA chipsets does not work well with those cards (mine is a VIA 6315 on a PCIExpress card). Should I consider getting another card with Texas Instruments chipset? Is it required to power in that card with its MOLEX input or the power coming from the slot is enough? Should I use the external AC adapter (this last one is what I'm doing with no improvements)?
Any help would be largely appreciated and I'm available to help as I can. Another incident led the following on dmesg: [ 754.550709] snd_bebob fw1.0: Detect discontinuity of cycle: 4670 4679 and after a while [ 1561.332132] snd_bebob fw1.0: Detect discontinuity of cycle: 59487 59496 [ 1789.828800] snd_bebob fw1.0: Detect discontinuity of cycle: 31497 31505 [ 1831.919030] snd_bebob fw1.0: Detect discontinuity of cycle: 48161 48169 [ 1840.081206] snd_bebob fw1.0: Detect discontinuity of cycle: 49593 49602 Heard some clicks (probably in the timestamp above) and the car stopped playing. Left the computer and when I got back, I went to qwgraph to check connections and the removed an extra connection from firefox to a channel of the 410 and the card worked normally, but not for too much: [13364.296669] firewire_ohci 0000:01:00.0: DMA context IT0 has stopped, error code: evt_timeout [13364.296766] firewire_ohci 0000:01:00.0: DMA context IR0 has stopped, error code: evt_descriptor_read This is the current state as reported by ffado-test: ~# ffado-test ListDevices ----------------------------------------------- FFADO test and diagnostic utility Part of the FFADO project -- www.ffado.org Version: 2.4.7 (C) 2008-2021, Daniel Wagner, Pieter Palmers and others This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. ----------------------------------------------- === 1394 PORT 0 === Node id GUID VendorId ModelId Vendor - Model 0 0x000d6c01007b89ea 0x00000D6C 0x00010046 M-AUDIO - FW 410 1 0x0011066600000009 0x00001106 0x00000000 Linux Firewire - no message buffer overruns Hope to hear from you soon.
