i did experience some `strange' behavior on my hdsp as well, starting a
few months ago.
in my case, the hdsp tells me, that the io box is not connected. my
workaround was to unload/reload the module.
maybe related to that issue, sometimes, the hdspmixer doesn't read the
meter values from the interface, giving me the same `hwdep ioctl error',
you are experiencing with hdsploader (i don't use hdsploader, since it
is basically obsolete).

i suppose, it is a similar issue, that i am experiencing ... btw are you
running a 32bit or 64bit system?

cheers, tim
