    Help installing "ASLA audio driver" for my RME Hammerfall DSP card driver on Kubuntu

    Hi folks!

    First let me thank you ALL those who are giving their time and helping the newcomers on the Kubuntu (Ubuntu-Linux) world. It's much appreciated. I'm new here, and just decided to give Kubuntu a try. I finished installing a Dual booth of Kubuntu x64 with my Win7 x64 bit and eveything so far is working well.

    The only thing I'd love to do is to be able to install the drivers that will make my RME Hammerfall DSP Multiface seen by Kubuntu and work. I did some research and I stumbled into ALSA drivers and saw that the Alsa package includes indeed the drivers for my soundcard. But as a novice, I have no idea how to do about installing these packages following the SUDO commands. Used to the .exe file in Windows and just follow the rest.

    Here's the Alsa link with the drviers: Firmware/Tools/utilities etc...

    http://alsa-project.org/main/index.p...ource_Releases

    Anyone could really help me with how to package these drivers in a very simple steps to follow and install them

    Thank you so so much in advance for your precious time

    And so far, Glad to have joined the Linux family ;-)

    Best,

    MY

        What version of Kubuntu did you install? I'll assume it was 16.04. You don't need to deal with the alsa-project.org site as the alsa packages are available for download/installation from within Kubuntu. Just launch Konsole and then type the following: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install alsa-driver

          Hi @Snowhog
          I'm using Kubuntu version 16.04.1
          I can go on and type the command you suggested but if I'm not mistaking, I think I did a command that look the same or but like the on you've shared here and when I did that, it only reckon just the Built-in soundcard that comes with the Motherboard that by the way I Disable it because I do use Pro soundcards from RME to Antelope and it's advice to always have the built-in soundcard of the motherboard DISABLED from the BIOS. Because as I mention, I'm also using Win7 in a DUAL Boot. I had Windows 7 installed and been working with it been a long time and just decided to give Kubuntu a try

          But I can still go on and give a try the command your shared here What you think??

          Also, reason I'm asking for help, is that I tried yesterday night, looked on how to install these ALSA drivers but I'm not good at following the notes on Unpacking and re-packaging etc.. etc..

          I'm gonna try your command and will report back if it sees my RME sound

            @Snowhog

            And by the way, I'm referring myself to Windows7 because I have this RME card as well installed on Win7x64 and these kind cards require Firmware software especially to be installed otherwise & the Tools (like Control Pannel even though not really necessary but could if you want to see where you're routing your connections etc..), NO sound will come out of it.

            Update: I wen ton and followed your Sudo command and now Kubuntu sees my RME soundcard but nothing will play not even the TEST sound because from what I know, no Firmware has been installed.

            Hope this helps ;-)

              Try adding
              Code:
              options snd-hdsp snd_id="hdsp"
              to:
              /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf

              and reboot.

                Hi @GreyGeek

                Thanks for joining in. The code you shared, just so I don't do wrong things... You want me to open Terminal and type the above including the word "option" And then hit Enter

                And after that ... what is the to: /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf.... Do I have to type this after the first code you wrote "options snd-hdsp snd_id="hdsp""

                Thanks a lot for confirming as I want to do this right and not mess things up

                Best,

                  No!
                  You should open a Konsole (terminal) and issue
                  kdesudo kate /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf
                  and at the bottom of that bash script past the following line:
                  Code:
                  options snd-hdsp snd_id="hdsp"
                  Save it and then reboot.
                  That may or may not fix your problem, but it is an easy try.

                    Hi @GreyGeek

                    Thanks a bunch for replying back. Would you mind creating the whole code with the you want me to add at the bottom and so I can simply Copy & Paste

                    Because I've tried to follow your steps to issue the first command and below add the other code... what I did is that I copied all and QUOTED them to create one code and then opened Konsole and paste it and right away it ask for my Admin password, I put it and then it did some stuff in the Konsole and opened Kate. And then I Click on SAVE on Kate... now what??

                    Bare in mind, I'm really a novice and I just don't want to mess things up and get the drivers and firmware of my Hammerfall working

                    Thats is why i'm asking for real step by step just like in elementary school lol

                    Should I reboot Kbuntu

                        Click on any area of your Desktop that doesn't have an icon. Type: kdesudo kate /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf and press Enter.
                        You will be prompted for your password. Type it and press Enter.
                        Kate will launch and open the modules.conf file for editing.
                        Down-arrow/Page Down to the bottom of the file.
                        If you see options snd-hdsp snd_id="hdsp" then you can simply close the file and exit Kate. Otherwise type: options snd-hdsp snd_id="hdsp" as the last line of the file. Save the changes and exit Kate. Then logout of the Desktop and then Reboot.

                          @Snowhog just followed your steps and Kate opened and there line with "hdsp" does NOT appear. Now as you said, I should go as the last line of the file type options snd-hdsp snd_id="hdsp" right?

                          My question to you, in Kate, every LINE start with #. Should add # before adding that line

                          And when saving the changes, I don't RENAME the file... just leave as is and Hit SAVE right?

                            You don't add the information to the last line of text. You add the information as a new line below the last line of text in the file, and no, you don't add # before.

                              Goood day @snowhog ;-)

                              I did just that, I added the information as a new line below the last line of the text in the file without the #

                              I Hit Save and closed Kate... then Closed session and Reboot

                              After that... What do I do?

                              Something was supposed to happen?? If YES... well nothing has changed the state of my Sound card.

                              Or Do i have to do another Sudo command once I reboot in Konsole?

                              Kbuntu still sees my soundcard RME under Multimedia and it's the one I choose but nothing is working because I believe the firmware hasn't been installed

                              I'll await for you guys next step to do....

                              Best,
