Any #fedihelp on this very old #RME #Digi9652 #Soundcard with #Linux?

I'm trying to get the SPDIF input to work.

So the RME card is clock master, distributing clock via Word Clock. It is hooked up via 3x ADAT I/O + Word Clock to a #Yamaha #01v96i.

Now I connected the SPDIF output of the 01V96i via a proper cable directly to the SPDIF input of the RME card (on its breakout cable). 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.)

Any ideas?

Perhaps @PaulDavisTheFirst remembers something about this very old card, is there something peculiar?

I notice the PSDIF sample rate sliders in #alsamixer which I can't move.

/proc/asound/R15/rme9652 see pastebin.com/1DywMFDd – says “IEC958 sample rate: undetermined”?

Or is my card broken even? I checked the output of the console with a Behringer SRC2496, it delivers correctly.

Continued thread

Hallelujah, I have a fresh #UbuntuStudio now on my Dell Xeon workstation.

First thing I need to do is open a terminal window and run #alsamixer.

There is no special GUI for my very old #RME #Digi9652 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.)

Next important step is to Ubuntu Studio Audio Configuration and set sample rate and buffer size. The only configuration dialog for #Pipewire that is offered.

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.

I might unplug the Yamaha though, actually I don't use it via USB.

Pipewire also shows my #HDMI audio outputs… now that's more relevant on the laptop.

Testing: Audio playback from Firefox/YouTube works, of course.

Habe gestern per Bluetooth-Kopfhörer mehrfach an der Lautstärke rumgestellt

Heute dann die alten Overears wieder an Klinke angesteckt und #uBUNTu auf'm Arbeitsrechner hat wieder alle Pegel so weit verhauen dass man es mit #pavucontrol nicht repariert bekommt

Ich muss 2024 noch wild mit #alsamixer rumstellen um mein Audio verwenden zu können.

Erklär das mal einer Oma der ich nen #Linux-Rechner in die Hand drücken würde!

Einfach nur kaputt!
