[Ardour-Users] HDSPloader and RME HDSP9652

[Benjamin Scherrer]

Hi,

apart from the hdsploader, does anyone know why the issue "need to start
the hdspmixer once to hear something" hasn't been addressed? Safety
reasons sound fine, but there could be a simple "on" switch in the
config, couldn't there? I haven't seen (heared) this behavior with
another card.

And dmix doesn't work either, but I don't want to hijack the topic - it
just seems that the Alsa drivers are a bit old for the card. Then again,
I might be totally unaware about some technical difficulties.
