I found that the driver is part of the standard ALSA installation. Did you check if the card is present? In a terminal window, type

cat /proc/asound/cards

If the card is there, the next command would initialize the card

dmesg | grep -i hdsp

On the multiface, does the red control light stop blinking? If it does, it means the firmware etc is present and the box is - basically - working.

I noticed that the mixer by default mutes the output, I solve that by just opening the mixer and close it again. The mixer is an application that I found as well already installed. I do not know about particularities of Ubuntu, I switched recently from Fodora to AVLinux (Debian based) and I'm more than happy. Another difference, I swapped to a new machine and bought the pci express card - but I wouldn't think that it makes a difference compared with the older pcmcia bus.

I hope this helps Jurgen

Hi,

can someone give me some pointers on how to install and configure my hdsp card (pcmcia) + multiface on jaunty, or show me a link where is information that can be understood? When I put the card in nothing happens.

My specs are:

• thinkpad laptop 32b
• jaunty
• hdsp+multiface

And that's pretty much it.

Thanks,

João Pais
