Topic: HDSPe AIO not working

Hi :)

I've got serious issues using the HDSPe AIO. I still get xruns
at sample rate 48000 Hz and frames/period 256.
The analog IOs 1 and 2 and ADAT IOs 1 and 2 can be used with jack, but
ADAT 3 to 8 are not available by jack capture and playback ports.

CPU frequency scaling governor is set to performance, bluetooth and
cups are stopped.

Is it true that ADAT sync is known as being not good? Sync between the
analog IOs and ADAT is delayed.

Jack MIDI latency test is ok.

Same results when tested with different kernel versions, architectures, distros and ALSA/hdspmixer versions.

Re: HDSPe AIO not working

The ADAT delay/offset is due to different conversion delay times of individual converters. Not an issue of ADAT or the card itself.
