[PD] rme fireface 400

[nick burge]

Hi Andrew and Joao, thanks for your replies.
In the bin directory there are 2 different PD executables, one of which
provides a msDOS command prompt which displays errors as you go. I can also
test the results of changes that I make using the provided test audio and
midi patch, which has built into it a way of addressing a test tone to the
different dac~ outputs you mention.  
Now, by using the flag -audioindev 16, I can get 8 audio inputs with the
"ASIO fireface" driver setting the channel numbers to 8 in the audio
options, but only provided I disable audio output. Otherwise trying to set
any of the devices under output I get the error "illegal combination of I/O
objects"
For some reason the "ASIO fireface" driver does not appear as an option
under the outputs. This seems inconsistent with a 2 channel usb one card
that shows the ASIO driver as available both under inputs and outputs.
 
here is the listdev output....

I might have this wrong, but the audio options offer a prescribed number of
chanels, you can change those to 8. 
 
Then follow the [dac~] and [adc~] boxes with an argument for chanel number
or a list
 
E.G. [dac~ 1 3 5] would be outputs 1, 3 and 5.

Hello List, I have trouble with an RME fireface 400 using the windows ASIO
driver on a laptop. 
It works fine under Ableton Live on the same machine, giving me the
prescribed 8 inputs and 8 outputs, but with PD i am limited to 2 in and 2
out.
I have tried using the channels, audioindev and audiooutdev flags to no
avail.
Failing that, is there an alternative audio card anyone can recommend to
give me those 8 ins and outs with pd on a windows xp or vista machine...?
Nick.
