Hello, I am writing in regards to the RME HDSPe AIO card and its support in ALSA. The card itself in 64studio is recognized incorrectly as HDSP MADI rev d4.
Running lspci -nn shows this line for the device:
02:00.0 Multimedia audio controller [0401]: Xilinx Corporation RME Hammerfall DSP MADI [10ee:3fc6] (rev d4)
ALSA in 64studio 3.0 beta 3 loads snd-hdspm incorrectly when it should be loading snd-hdsp.
I have reviewed pcitables and pci.ids on this distro, and also the public pci reference and the above device id is currently assigned to:
Multimedia audio controller: Xilinx Corporation RME Hammerfall DSP MADI (rev d4)
The AIO is purported to be very similar to the 9632 and should be using the snd-hdsp module.
I would like to use this card in ALSA, and have begun reviewing the guide for making ALSA drivers, but am not sure how exactly to fix the matter since the manufacturer has not incremented the id, or they have not assigned the same id as a 9632. This device is recognized and functioning perfectly on the XP partition.
Besides my individual circumstance I wonder if ALSA should not be accomodating this great card somehow.
Let me know if I can help by contacting RME developers for info or otherwise.
Thank you,

Jonathan,

No. It has the hdspe core and should be used as such.
I would like to use this card in ALSA,
That's nice, but you should have checked before buying the card. The AIO is not supported.
Besides my individual circumstance I wonder if ALSA should not be accomodating this great card somehow.
No. This is a pro audio card and it's full potential cannot be used with ALSA.

Hi Florian, I think I will keep trying thanks anyhow.
