[PlanetCCRMA] Trouble with rme hdsp.. plz help I like sound

[Rich E]

Hello to all,

I recently installed the PlanetCCRMA FC4 kernel (first attempt with linux)
and I bought a RME HDSP Multiface to go along with it.  I knew it would be a
tough beginner's card, but I'm giving it a shot anyway.  So far, I can only
get alsaconf to detect the card, modify the probemod.conf file, and boot it
up on startup.  This doesn't do much good though, since it seems to be tied
up somewhere.

Upon booting the FC4 with the hdsp installed, I receive 3 errors once Gnome
starts:
- No Volume control
- the application "mixer_applet2" has quit unexpectantly
- the Panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_MixerApplet"

I only receive the No Volume control error in KDE

it appears that everything I need for the soundcard such as drivers and
firmware loaders is already built into the kernel, but I really don't know.
alsaconf detects the card and it seems to boot up fine, but then hdsploader
doesn't work (it says the card is busy).

The IRQ was 185, so I tried putting it in a different pci slot, but this
didn't change anything (including the IRQ) except hdsploader's output (in
then says input/output error).  I wanna use PD in linux so much...please
help.

with /sbin/lspci, I noticed the snd_pcm_oss, snd_seq_oss, and snd_mixer_oss
were still running, but the card is not recognized by hdsploader without
them.  Upon using alsaconf again, they are back.

My oh my I want to get this puppy working. For the love of music, please
help.  Thanks to all who read this!
