[18:47] <jammin> trying ubuntu studio out again for the first time in a year or two.  looks pretty good... too bad I can't get sound to work.  (yeah, it's got me a little grumpy.)  anyone familiar with the RME Multiface (hdsp) interface, and how to work around ubuntustudio's failure with this thing?
[18:50] <jammin> I've done all of the hoop jumping it took to make it go last time... grabbing the firmware and putting it where the system expects to find it.  the card is visible to the system.  hdspconf works fine.  with the missing firmware (come on, that was a problem years ago... still not fixed?) in place, hdsploader works fine and the card comes online.
[18:52] <jammin> but apparently hdspmixer is missing from ubuntu 11.04.  it's supposed to be in the alsa-tools-gui package, but it isn't.  (it's even in the audio menu... but no executable so doesn't work).  There's already a bug report on it, and nothing appears to be happening.  A suggested workaround is to install the alsa-tools-gui package from debian sid... did that.  now it is there, but won't run.
[18:55] <jammin> "Looking for RME cards :
[18:55] <jammin> Card 0 : RME Hammerfall DSP + Multiface at 0xdf000000, irq 18
[18:55] <jammin> Uninitialized HDSP card found.
[18:55] <jammin> Use hdsploader to upload configuration data to the card.
[18:55] <jammin> No RME cards found.
[18:55] <jammin> "
[18:59] <jammin> Which is bull... it is initialized, the firmware/config has been loaded.  But hdspmixer won't start.  And without it, this audio interface that cost more than the rest of my computer is useless.  Previous to this I was running Ubuntu 10.04 minimal with a few studio packages added... and everything was fine.  Did this install fresh from scratch... not exactly happy with my upgrade. :)
