Hi Miller et al...
I have a linux box running RH6.2, trying to get PD working with Winfried's Hammerfall driver. I have installed the driver ok I think, as I can run the 'ctrl' program. But running PD gives the following errors, the 'errors' box goes red, and I can't get any files to open (the program effectively freezes). Am I doing something stupid? I suspect the problem is the bit about DSP format. Is this trying to do things wrong-endian?

running 'pd -rme' gives:
RME open RME9652: out device Nr. 1 (7) on /dev/rme9652/C0da1 RME9652: out device Nr. 2 (8) on /dev/rme9652/C0da2 RME9652: out device Nr. 3 (9) on /dev/rme9652/C0da3 RME9652: out device Nr. 4 (10) on /dev/rme9652/C0da4 RME9652: out device Nr. 5 (11) on /dev/rme9652/C0da5 RME9652: out device Nr. 6 (12) on /dev/rme9652/C0da6 RME9652: out device Nr. 7 (13) on /dev/rme9652/C0da7 RME9652: out device Nr. 8 (14) on /dev/rme9652/C0da8 RME9652: in device Nr. 1 (15) on /dev/rme9652/C0ad1 RME9652: in device Nr. 2 (16) on /dev/rme9652/C0ad2 RME9652: in device Nr. 3 (17) on /dev/rme9652/C0ad3 RME9652: in device Nr. 4 (18) on /dev/rme9652/C0ad4 RME9652: in device Nr. 5 (19) on /dev/rme9652/C0ad5 RME9652: in device Nr. 6 (20) on /dev/rme9652/C0ad6 RME9652: in device Nr. 7 (21) on /dev/rme9652/C0ad7 RME9652: in device Nr. 8 (22) on /dev/rme9652/C0ad8 RME9652: configuring 0, fd=15, sr=44100 , dac=0 RME9652: DSP format: wanted 16, got 65536 RME9652: configuring 0, fd=7, sr=44100 , dac=1 RME9652: DSP format: wanted 16, got 65536 RME: ioctl SOUND_PCM_GETOSPACE says 33408 buffsize RME9652: starting read engine ... done error: failed to open MIDI ports; continuing without MIDI.
Hi again,
Well, more on this one: I downloaded the latest version of Winfried Ritsch's Hammerfall driver and installed it. His test program works better now (I can get the test tone playing from each channel of the card in turn, without it crashing).
Also, PD works in multichannels: I can open patches, do all the usual things, modify the test audio patch to write to dac 3 and dac 4 etc... fine.
But I still get the reports below, and the 'errors' box still goes red: I understood this to mean that audio i/o wouldn't work. Am I misunderstanding the function/purpose of the 'errors' box?

This is a "feature" of the Hammerfall driver, and doesn't mean you get dac slips. What does that mean ? Error reporting for the Hammerfall just doesn't work, so you have to rely on your ears until this is fixed. Otherwise everything is ok.

Ok, thanks. I'll stop worrying and get on with the music.
