VEP5.4.13888 cannot use RME Hammerfall DSP
-
I have to admit that I haven't run vepro standalone for quite some time... When I chose HDSP Hammerfall ASIO driver in audio prefs and head over to the routing tab, the dialog is empty, simply messaging "the driver didn't start correctly"... When I rerun vepro with HDSP Hammerfall selected, trying to turn on the engine, the same message is shown in a message box dialog... Before, I had some freezes on trying to enter prefs at all. This was, before I updated my Motu 828x driver... Now I can at least enter prefs again, even my 828x ASIO driver is fully working, but the HDSP Hammerfall doesn't work :(

Hi Bill,
Thanks for this, I also havenĀ“t heard of any troubles with the 9652, itĀ“s a solid soundcard.
TabSel, also not sure what to do... I personally tend to go with the solution that works before spending too much time on the mysteries of the computer music world. Is that an option for you?
Best,
Paul

It's a long shot and probably won't solve your problem, but try increasing the WDM Devices in HDSP's config.
9652 here in Win 7 x64, no troubles.

FYI: I just tested VEP 5.4.13888 (most recent version at the moment) stand-alone with a RME HDSP under Windows 7 Prof. 64bit , using quite old drivers from mid 2013. No problems at all @ 44.1 kHz, using different latency settings from 32 up to 2048 samples.

HAAAAA!!!!
I just NEED to resurrect this old thread from Dec 15 2015.
With VEPro 5, I suddenly couldnt use my beloved HDSP Digiface. VEPro 5 gave me an error that it couldnt properly initialize the device. I tried everything I could, but neither VSL, nor RME had any clues about why it didnt work.
As a workaround, I used my MOTU 828x or a Babyface and piped audio via ADAT to the central HDSP. Of course, I needed to run way higher buffer sizes via USB than I had to, using the HDSP ASIO directly.
Then there came VEPro 6, I had high hopes. But no, my HDSP still did not work with VEPro.
Yesterday, all of a sudden, I wasnt able to change the interface in VEPro 6s preferences. Trying to change from MOTU (default) to any other interface (ASIO or not!) had VEPro 6 freeze! I was like WTF!?!?
Today, VEPro 6 couldnt event launch! It froze upon launch. Hell.
I remembered a strange behaviour with my MOTU (VEPro 6 default interface): When I launch the MOTU Audio Console (where I change buffer sizes and such), and afterwards open CueMix FX (with the MOTU console open), I get an error from CueMix that it couldnt find any MOTU interface. So I thought maybe its the same with VEPro 6, that it cannot find the interface to open, with the MOTU Audio Console visible...
So, i opened the Console and launched VEPro 6. It gave me an error that it couldnt properly initialize the interface. I clicked "OK" and VEPro6 launched with the engine off. Fine!
So I went into preferences and tried to change interface from MOTU ASIO to HDSP ASIO, just to try. I clicked on the HDSP Hammerfall ASIO entry in the list and clicked on the routing tab. Frezze! I was WTF again.
I waited, thinking.
Suddenly VEPro6 UI responded again and showed me zero inputs and zero outputs, but NO ERROR MESSAGE. I clicked "reset" on both inputs/outputs and there they are again: 26x26 I/Os with my Hammerfall HDSP Digiface! It works again!
I have absoluteley no clue what was going on here, but, after nearly two years of working around VEPro5/6 being unable to use my otherwise rock solid HDSP with additional audio interfaces, it works again!!!
There SURELY must be some kind of "bug" in VEPro5/6 regarding ASIO implementation!?!? I gave up long ago.
I got my HDSP back, with a stable 32sample buffer!!!
Now on to image the system to freeze it to this situation! :)
