Hello together,
I have searched the web so much but I still don’t find a solution for my problem. Perhaps you can help? I have got a RME Digi9636 Hammerfall light soundcard. It still does a great job on ADAT, but I have got problem with the SPDIF Interface.
First of all, here is the output of /proc/asound/R15/rme9652:
RME Digi9636 (Rev 1.5) (Card #1)

17: off 18: off
I know, that hdspconf or rmedigicontrol don’t work on this card. So how do I a setup of parameters like IEC958 sample rate. How can I get the “error flag set” changed?
This is the output of alsactl:

Doing a change of ‘IEC958 Sample Rate’ from -1 to 44100 i.e. doesn’t take effect after a restore. I tried a alsactl -f /file/above restore 0 as user and as root also. And are these values right of the IEC958 parameters above? The look like hexdecimal.
What can I do furthermore to get a good sound through SPDIF and not these “glitchy” sounds?
I also found a post here, where Paul said, that someones working on a tool that possibly can setup the Digi9636/52:
http://www.mail-archive.com/alsa-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg07775.html
Elsewhere I found an entry that someone did a customized version of hdspconf to setup Digi9636/52. If so, where can I get it?
Thanks in advance
