[PlanetCCRMA] HDSP 9652 - Some first results, but lockups and no actual audio

Hi,
OK, I'm finally starting to get on-line with the newest versions of
Alsa and the new HDSP 9652 driver as released on PlanetCCRMA last night.
I'm getting a lot of reasonable or even good results, but no actual
audio unfortunately. Also, I've had three hard lockups of the machine
that has required a reset button pushes to get out.
IMPORTANT - THIS IS A NEW MACHINE! This specific machine has been up
and stable for about 3 weeks running RH 8.0, doing email and waiting for
this driver. This machine has never run Alsa successfully, so whatever
problems I'm seeing may well be of my own creation somehow. The HDSP did
work previously, but now has new firmware. (Rev. 11) I will continue to
go back through the Planet instructions to see if I've missed anything.
IDEA - The machine was previously configured to use the on-board Via
Sound Chip while I waited for the HDSP driver to be available. I never
actually hooked up speakers though. Possibly something about that
previous configuration is effecting me now???
The new PlanetCCRMA kernel is 2.4.20-4.ll.acpi. I have disabled acpi
at the grub command line. Alsa is installed and apparently running.
(lsmod looks at least reasonable.)
Jack is running at all buffer sizes with no xruns. I've run alsamixer
to set levels on all channels to 76. I've run alsactl store to save
state and rebooted to make sure that the state is restored.
qjackconnect runs and shows jack application and hardware audio
ports. alsaplayer runs and plays a CD, but no audio is apparently
delivered to my external D/A. I can run meterbridge and see apparent
audio in the PC. gamix runs and shows me things that look like it
understands the HDSP 9652. (26 I/O's, ADAT sync info, preferred clock
source, etc.)
And, yes, power is turned on for my D/A! ;-)
jackrec runs and creates a file. The file can be loaded into Sweep
and looks like audio. I have not listened to the file as of yet since I
cannot get audio. I will send it to my Windows box soon to ensure it's
OK.
NOTE BELOW - I have told Jack to run at 44.1K, but the ADAT 1 lock
seems to be at 48K which is the default frequency of the external A/D if
it doesn't receive a clock on it's input. More evidence that nothing is
really being transmitted? Not sure...
The one major sort of problem I've seen 3 times now is that with
alsaplayer open, if I open alsamixer to set levels I've locked the
machine up twice. The machine locked up a third time, but I do not
remember exactly what I was doing at the time. All three times required
a reset button push.
I'll attach some system info, and will certainly try anything that
might be suggested to get this working. Thanks in advance for any ideas
about what I've missed.
Cheers,
Mark
