I'd like to suggest reopening this bug for 14.04. Upon a recent upgrade from 12.04 to 14.04, this message was generated in dmesg:
[ 23.196286] snd_asihpi 0000:04:02.0: probe 104c:a106,175c:6500,0010 [ 23.646352] snd_asihpi 0000:04:02.0: Incompatible firmware version DSP image 9F60 != Driver 40A01 As you can see, the driver in the kernel is version 4.10.1 but the firmware in linux-firmware does not match. The correct firmware can be downloaded from here: http://www.audioscience.com/internet/download/drivers/released/v4/10/01/dspbins41001.7z -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1122377 Title: Audio Science Sound Card firmware does not match the driver supplied by the kernel Status in “linux-firmware” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux-firmware” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “linux-firmware” source package in Raring: Fix Released Bug description: Affects: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS Linux streamtest 3.2.0-37-generic-pae #58-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 24 15:51:02 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Summary: When using an Audioscience ASI6522 sound card, the firmware provided in /lib/firmware/asihpi/ does not match the driver supplied by the Linux kernel, snd_asihpi (snd-asihpi.ko). This prevents the use of the hardware by Alsa. What is expected to happen: The correct firmware for the installed hardware to be loaded onto the hardware. What actually happens: The incorrect firmware is present, and thus, unable to be loaded onto the hardware. Evidence from dmesg: [ 6115.574089] ASIHPI driver 4.08.00 [ 6115.574215] snd_asihpi 0000:03:04.0: probe 104c:a106,175c:6500,0020 [ 6115.650366] snd_asihpi 0000:03:04.0: Incompatible firmware version DSP image 40313 != Driver 40800 [ 6115.650433] hpi6205.c:568 DSP code load failed [ 6115.652532] hpioctl.c:430 adapter_probe failed Workaround: As a work around, one can download the correct version of firmware from the manufacturer's website and manually place it in /lib/firmware/asihpi/. The following step-by-step assumes you are using kernel 3.2.0-37-generic-pae which uses the 4.08.00 version of the sound card driver. 1. Download the driver source: http://www.audioscience.com/internet/download/drivers/released/v4/08/00/hpklinux-4.08.00.tar.bz2 2. Extract the source: tar -xf hpklinux-4.08.00.tar.bz2 3. Rename the existing firmware directory, just to be safe: sudo mv /lib/firmware/asihpi{,.bak} 4. Copy the correct firmware to the exepcted location: sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/asihpi; sudo cp hpklinux-4.08.00/firmware/*.bin /lib/firmware/asihpi/ 5. Reload alsa: sudo alsa reload To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1122377/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
