[alsa-devel] searching volunteer to test Hoontech DSP24 to check if the driver is realy working well
Hi everybody !
First please apologize if I'm in the wrong place.
Secondly thanks for all the work you are all doing !
I have a Hoontech DSP24 (http://fr.audiofanzine.com/carte-son-rack/hoontech/DSP24-+-ADDA2000-DSP2000-...), but I had problem to make it working. 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 someone wants to have a try with it, do not hesitate to mail me. It is a pity that a so good soundcard can't be used anymore… And as I said, feel then free to do what you want with it.
Thanks, Yvan

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'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?

Yes I'm talking about the rack and the PCI card shown here : http://img.audiofanzine.com/image.php?lang=fr&identifier=id&size=nor... I did not use the numeric outputs on the secondary card.
The problems I had are the ones described below.

I tried several distributions, mostly based on Debian : Debian stable, Ubuntu Studio 12.4 and 12.10, 64 Studio. I'm not sure but I think I also tried Fedora. So if I'm not wrong, these distributions all use Pulseaudio.
