just for the sake of full understanding:
- why do you assume that audio-hardware and alsa drivers seem towork when
you are not able to playback from any application?
if the interface is not working there is a red blinking light on it. That's how I know when the Win driver gets corrupted once a year or so.
if the red light stops blinking when you boot into linux, then it has successfully loaded the needed firmware. so i assume that this isn't a problem here
- why do you assume that jack runs fine, when it doesn't work?
because it says "running" after I press start" and it displays a CPU load.
well, if i understand correctly, Pd (or anything else) using alsa says "running" as well (at least it doesn't show any problems) and it still "doesn't work".
oh, and a common pitfall: most RME devices hae a DSP-mixer on port, which is muted by default. (install and) start hdspmixer (if you have this card), this should most likely do the trick (make sure that the gains of the output matrix are set to something meaningful)
Thanks for the hint, I will have a look into the mixer.
i'm pretty sure that this is the problem...
