[SOLVED] Support for RME 9632 PCI Soundcard

[Jhya]

ADAT1 is your digital out? Since it's opitical, do you see a red light?

Yea, there's a red light on the card. The manual also says "The ADAT I/O can also be used as optical SPDIF I/O, if set up accordingly in the Settings dialog."
This is the windows version. I ticked the SPDIF out, Optical. Then I get sound output in Windows.

can you run alsamixer and see what channels are available? provide screencaps of all the inputs & outpus if you can.

When you start playing music (even if no sound), from the hardware tab, can you see if the ALSA device is being used? Or is it saying "closed".

Hi Agent Kith,
after playing with alsamixer, i didn't find any settings that would enable correct routing sound to SPDIF out. this is screenshot:



I finally found by google that the Hammerfall HDSP has a matrixmixer that routes inputs to correct output channels and I need to use the "amixer" command. For the RME 9632 the correct settings that gave me sound:
amixer -c 0 cset numid=5 16,8,32768
amixer -c 0 cset numid=5 17,9,32768

I can now use deadbeef to play all my music.



But when I tried to switch to any MPD or Squeezelite players, there is no sound output. Under the Hardware tab, I see under Params either Closed or no setup when playing a music file.
