RME cards: How to show board revision and the loaded firmware version?
Preliminary question and regarding to this question multiposted: Does anybody still use a RME HDSPe AIO ;)? Hi, since the issues I get for my RME HDSPe AIO didn't became less, but more within the last two years, I cleaned a primary partition to install XP, just to test, if there are issues caused by the mobo, that will appear, even when not using a *nix driver, but the proprietary driver and latest RME firmware. I'm a Linux only user, so sometime ago I installed FreeBSD, just to test, if the RME card isn't borked, since on Linux only 2 ADAT channels do work, fortunately all 8 ADAT channels work, using the FreeBSD driver (no TotalMix). I bought the card, because it was recommended by members of the Linux audio community. Don't get me wrong, the blame is on me, I decided to buy the card and had no time to use it within the first weeks, I only want to point out, that I did research before I bought the card. I wonder, if there are different revisions of the RME board? I know I've written this several times, but somebody might not have read it and it's a while ago since I ask for the situation of this card on other machines. Is there a command that shows the board revision and used firmware version? I run my Arch install without the alsa-firmware package and installed it now. $ uname -r 3.8.11-rt8-1-rt $ pacman -Q alsa-firmware error: package 'alsa-firmware' was not found $ sudo pacman -Syu alsa-firmware warning: ardour: ignoring package upgrade (2.8.16-1 = 3.1-1) alsa-firmware-1.0.27-2 $ pacman -Q alsa-firmware alsa-firmware 1.0.27-2 Can anybody use a HDSPe AIO on Linux with all available sample rates? Store alsamixer settings? Does hdspeconf run? Use latency = 10.7 ms? Use any latency even = 10.7 ms with getting absolutely no xruns? Use all ADAT channels?

Are there any PCIe cards available in the price range and audio quality of the HDSPe AIO, that are DEFINITIVELY known as working with Linux?

Hi all i just installed Ubuntu studio 13.04 64bitand (i have been using Ubuntu since 7.x) i just noticed that the QT apps used the 'de' (german) language i live in belgium (speak dutch) however i alway set every thing to english US, so i have no id why it was set to german ?? i was able to fix this by editing the /etc/default/locale and removing all lines except the first one ( LANG=en_US.UTF-8) the original locale file looked like this : LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_TIME=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_MONETARY=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_PAPER=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_NAME=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_ADDRESS=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_TELEPHONE=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_MEASUREMENT=de_BE.UTF-8 LC_IDENTIFICATION=de_BE.UTF-8 i'm not sure, but my guess is that the 'de' in the beginning of each line refers to the geman language ? grtz Thijs -- follow me on my Audio Linux blog http://audio-and-linux.blogspot.com/ ! -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
Re: language settings
There was no need to edit the /etc/default/locale. All that needed to be done was to open Language Support from the Applications Menu in Settings. Then, if needed, download the language/translation packs, it checks for that when you start up Language Support. Then go to the Regional Formats and check if it's set to German (Deutsch), if so select English (United States) from the dropdown list. After that click on Apply System-Wide. Make sure after that's done, that on the first Tab (Languages) English (United States) and/or English are at the top of the list shown there. Click also here in Apply System-Wide. Close the window now and reboot.

Re: language settings
ok, thanks for the input but isnt it strange that the system switches to german while i never selected it at any time during install ? i just opened the language support and it seems that not all language support packages had been installed is this something you need to select during install ? cant remember :-S grtz Thijs 2013/5/13 Maik Adamietz maikadamiet...@gmail.com There was no need to edit the /etc/default/locale.

I'm using English only, but need to use a German keymap and timezone, this could cause issues too. I suspect that it's caused regarding to your keymap or timezone. The Ubuntu installer has got advantages and drawbacks compared with other Linux installers, resp. the whole distro has got advantages and drawbacks compared with other Linux distros. Frankly Ubuntu is less used by experts, but more by noobs, so there are many compromises for the installer and for a default install. -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
