In theory, SPDIF signal should now appear on channels 25 and 26. But nothing ever happens. (Input channels 1-24 work without any issue via ADAT.)</p><p>Any ideas?</p><p>Perhaps <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@PaulDavisTheFirst" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>PaulDavisTheFirst</span></a></span> remembers something about this very old card, is there something peculiar?</p><p>I notice the PSDIF sample rate sliders in <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/alsamixer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alsamixer</span></a> which I can't move. </p><p>/proc/asound/R15/rme9652 see <a href="https://pastebin.com/1DywMFDd" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">pastebin.com/1DywMFDd</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> – says “IEC958 sample rate: undetermined”?</p><p>Or is my card broken even?

Nielso<p>Hallelujah, I have a fresh <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/UbuntuStudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UbuntuStudio</span></a> now on my Dell Xeon workstation.</p><p>First thing I need to do is open a terminal window and run <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/alsamixer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alsamixer</span></a>.</p><p>There is no special GUI for my very old <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/RME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RME</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Digi9652" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Digi9652</span></a> PCI sound card but it can be set to Clock Master in alsamixer – which is what I need. As usual on Linux, this old card works out of the box. (There are some younger RME Digi cards with ”Hammerfall“ in the name that have special tools for Linux.)</p><p>Next important step is to Ubuntu Studio Audio Configuration and set sample rate and buffer size. The only configuration dialog for <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Pipewire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pipewire</span></a> that is offered.</p><p>Next step is to click the speaker icon and set all your professional audio interfaces to "Pro Audio", in my case the Yamaha 01v96i via USB and the RME Digi.</p><p>I might unplug the Yamaha though, actually I don't use it via USB.</p><p>Pipewire also shows my <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/HDMI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HDMI</span></a> audio outputs… now that's more relevant on the laptop.</p><p>Testing: Audio playback from Firefox/YouTube works, of course.</p>
