RME Hammerfall HDSP not loaded on startup(Host errro is RED)

Post by schimmy »

I have Windows 10 on other SSD and Ubuntu Studio on another SSD. If I first boot to Windwos 10 (having RME driver), the Host error light disappers
and then (soft) restart from Windows 10 to Ubuntu Studio, I can use Hammerfall sound card with Ardour4. However if I cold boot to Ubuntu studio
Hammerfall sound card Host error remains red and I can not use it with Ardour4. Any help is appreciated to get soudcard working without first booting to Windows 10.

You may be missing the firmware in Ubuntu. Try installing these

alsa-tools-gui
alsa-firmware-loaders

There may be more stuff I forgot about.
