hi,
sine i installed the alsa drivers i get strange sound from pd and all other software. this is a bit off topic, yet someone might help me, since i know the card is rather popular in here.
actually the sound seems to be about 2 octaves lower than it has to be. i am no sound engineer, so i do not know, how this happens technically.
thanks for help martin

Your RME card probably is trying to sync on an input that isn't connected (I've had the same symptom with other cards but not with RME specifically.)
Just plug in any reliable digital input and the RME will lock onto it and play everything at that sample rate.
Now, I have a more fundamental problem... I have yet, after trying on two machines, to get the ALSA RME driver to find my RME cards!

How are you installing ? I commonly just ignore the ALSA installation instructions and do a modprobe snd-rme9652
if that succeeds, you are the half way there. If not, then there is a serious problem. (Note, earlier the same module was called snd-card-rme9652, but this was changed ...)
The /dev/snd should be there and is a directory that shows the ALSA devices. if not, then link it ln -s /proc/asound/dev /dev/snd
Then I think you dont even have to start the mixer, because the RME doesnt have a mixer, and so the ALSA drivers cant mute the channels :)

problem: i cannot even start the mixer if i want. complains about missing elements:
No mixer elems found
i just wanted to have alsa running because i saw screenshots of a nice wav editor, something really missing in linux

Why do you want a mixer if there is nothing to mix ? I don't see the problem.
