Bug Description
Affects: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Linux streamtest 3.2.0-37-
Summary:
When using an Audioscience ASI6522 sound card, the firmware provided in /lib/firmware/
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,
[ 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/
1. Download the driver source: http://
2. Extract the source: tar -xf hpklinux-
3. Rename the existing firmware directory, just to be safe: sudo mv /lib/firmware/
4. Copy the correct firmware to the exepcted location: sudo mkdir /lib/firmware/
5. Reload alsa: sudo alsa reload
