Re: [Alsa-devel] hdsp/firmware problem

2003-02-14 Thread Paul Davis
the hdsp driver still seems to have problems with the new pci
card. It's a little complicated for me to give exact information as
the machine is in Rotterdam and I'm in Berlin. I got The following
email from the sysadmin of the machine:

i have an hdsp-9652 here that i haven't installed yet. it sounds as if
need to do so and test it out, because i think it has the new firmware
on it. RME sent me one because to develop a firmware flasher is not
safe on the pure hdsp - a mistake will fry the h/w. apparently the
hdsp-9652 is resistant to such mistakes.

however, i can't do it today, that's for sure. i will ask RME though
and see if they know of anything that i/we should know.

Hi,

the driver/interface works. The guy in Rotterdam tried the line
outputs on the front (I realized that this might have been the reason
5 minutes after I posted my previous mail).

Since the hdsp code reports firmware load failure there still might be
something wrong, but the Multiface plays sound as it should :-).

 can you clarify what you mean by this?

It means he didn't use the rear outputs for checking but the line outs
on the front of the Multifaceq which are muted even if alsamixers
controls are up afaik.

 Since the hdsp code reports firmware load failure there still might be
 something wrong, but the Multiface plays sound as it should :-).
 
 so it looks like it may just a need for a more lenient timeout check
 on the FIFO?

Maybe. It's quite stupid as I can't really check it myself.

There is also a bugreport on sourceforge about latest hdsp firmware problems:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=685001group_id=27464atid=390601

Date: 2003-02-11 15:59 
Priority: 5 
Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) 
Assigned To: Jaroslav Kysela (perex) 
Category: driver 
Status: Open 

Summary:
hdsp driver is not compatible with latest firmware
In order to make alsa-hdsp recognize the hdsp I had to
downgrade the firmware of the card(bus) to revision 10.
There is an utility available to downgrade the firmware

FYI this (from modules.conf) will turn on line out monitoring by
default (all channels, unity gain):

options snd-hdsp snd_id=hdsp snd_line_outs_monitor=1

[Alsa-devel] hdsp/firmware problem

2003-02-14 Thread vanDongen-Gilcher
Maybe an unneccesary and stupid remark, but are you sure that the line out 
will support headphones?
Maybe you should try it with a regular amp.


Gerard

 
 But I can't get any sound out of the box (use headphone in line out) and
 setting all channels to 30 in alsamixer.
 Probably because the firmware was not loaded correctly.

Re: [Alsa-devel] hdsp/firmware problem

2003-02-14 Thread Paul Davis
got this additional Info from R'dam for those interested.

Wasn't the warm boot corrected with the old firmware?

no. it was connected with a bug in the driver that marcus fixed. on
little-endian platforms we failed to write a terminating byte to the
FIFO at the end of the firmware load. 

i believe that this patch is in CVS, but i haven't checked. i assume
the R'dam system is using the latest code?
