First please apologize if I'm in the wrong place.
It is probably the best place.
I have a Hoontech DSP24 (http://fr.audiofanzine.com/carte-son-rack/hoontech/DSP24-+-ADDA2000-DSP200 0-C-Port/), but I had problem to make it working.
Are you talking here about the PCI card, 8-channel audio unit, not the ADAT cards? What problems are you having?
I have one of the audio card/rack pairs, which has been working fine with Alsa since years ago (not actually used recently). In particular I have recorded live 8-channels from a mixing desk, and later played back all 8 to analogue mix-down. I think the PC ran an updated Alsa-1.0.12 with a 2.4 linux kernel. I was involved in a patch fixing the MIDI several years ago and there were other users then, including a studio in Australia. Maybe it broke more recently (all my systems are quite old)?
I don't use it so, if someone with knowledge wants to check if this soundcard is really recognized, I can send it to him. After that, feel free to play with it, improve the driver, or even sell it !
The problem I had :
- spent 3 months to find on the Internet the following lines to had to
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base to make the card recognized : stall snd-ice1712 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-ice1712 && { /sbin/modprobe -Qb snd-ice1712 ; } options snd-ice1712 model=dsp24
- impossible to have "normal" stereo : it seems that each logical canal
(right and left) is redirected to both right and left speaker.
I've never done anything like that. Is your system running Pulseaudio? Which distro/kernel are you using?
Others on this list may have more idea of the issues?
Regards
Alan
