[alsa-devel] A&H Zed R16 not completely working (DICE Jr)

[Allan Klinbail]

Hi,

I thought I would try the DICE chipset driver from ALSA, as it appears that
this will eventually take over from ffado..

It appears that it doesn't work very well for my Allen & Heath Zed -R16
which works very well under FFADO

Using kernel 4.4.0 from Ubuntu

The ALSA driver limited the device to only 16 inputs and outputs, however
it has a total capability of 26
This is comprises of 16 inputs and outputs on the desk channels, a stereo
main pair of outputs and inputs for the master bus
8 additional ins and outs to support the ADAT ports on the back (availoable
in 44.1 and 48 khz modes, but not 88.2 or 96 Khz

Similiarly I was not able to set the device to run at a latency lower than
256 frames in jack, however in FFADO I could go as low as 64 frames.

Please let me know if I can help with any further testing to get this to
the same level as the FFADO driver.

Regards

Allan
