Digi Bits

Forserial communication to occur, you must configure the UART of both devices (the microcontroller and the XBee/XBee-PRO DigiMesh 2.4) with compatible settings for the baud rate, parity, start bits, stop bits, and data bits.

Each data byte consists of a start bit (low), 8 data bits (least significant bit first) and a stop bit (high). The following diagram illustrates the serial bit pattern of data passing through the device. The diagram shows UART data packet 0x1F (decimal number 31) as transmitted through the device.

Hi,

I just upgraded to windows 7 64 bit. I have a digi9652 card. I cannot seem to run the installer. I double click on the exe and nothing happens. I assume these are 32 bit drivers but won't they work in win 7 64 bit ? I read somewhere that ASIO is supported but I'm not sure how to do this. Am I completely out of luck here ?

Daniel, Can I ask just one more question... I know the HDSP will work under win 7 64 bit, will it also work if I'm running cubase 32 bit on the 64 bit ystem ? Sorry if that's a dumb question, I new to this.

Hello there. I have purchased an used RME Digi 9652 Project Hammerfall interface, and I would like to know if meanwhile Win7 64bit will support this card. Are there any Win7 64bit drivers downloadable, or still only 32bit in Win7 is supported? I have to know exactly, so I can choose the necessary OS to install to my new computer.

So, since we all know it can be done, I'll just go ahead and ask.

If we started a donation, how much money would be enough for you to get a programmer to make a 64-bit driver for this card? Including the calculated loss of the supposed people that would buy a new card from you if they really need to go 64-bit? Be honest please.

Lol, good luck with that, but I think there's not a snowballs chance in hell for that to happen. My old DIGI 96/8 PST card is sitting in a draw collecting dust. Perfectly good, and reliable, piece of hardware totally wasted.

I'm not an RME user anymore...:(.

What other ten-plus year old piece of hardware do you still use...? Need I mention AGP graphics cards...? Try using one of these today... HeadScratch

What other professional soundcard of similar age offers full 64 bit compatibility? I've done the research, and some manufacturers' driver support for devices from 2000 or before stops at beta drivers for XP....

Your PST (and the old Digi 9636/52) could still do a perfectly fine job in a 32 bit Windows 7 system. The fact that it is being "wasted" is your personal choice, not a given condition technically.

Besides, the programs that will profit most from a 64 bit system and additional RAM capacity, e.g. software samplers etc., will work much better with a modern card like the HDSPe AIO, which offers much lower latencies, where the PST is technically limited to 6 ms as lowest possible setting.

It's no longer possible for me to work with a 32bit system because of the RAM limitation so the card is of no use, sadly really, as I really liked it and used it for a long time, no problems whatsoever, and the latency never bothered me.

I guess I just feel a little miffed as I've never been able to find out whether it is actually possible to write 64bit drivers for the card or whether it was decided to discontinue it for other reasons.

Thanks for your answer. This "use an up-to-date hardware" is not really an option for me, I got this card used for a fairly high price, and I'm pretty sure that everyone that uses this card does for the same reason: because they cannot afford a new one. I bought this old one from a friend who could buy a new one this way. I myself cannot buy the new equivalent because in Hungary it's much more than my full monthly salary, It costs more than my PC would cost. We are the people that try to get the best out of what they can afford and we're waiting for the big money so we can buy the new stuff. And yes, i'm also pissed at Creative for not making a 64 bit driver for their older E-MU cards but at least they made a beta one, and besides their PCIe drivers work on PCI cards, and also at CME for the same reason, but at least my keyboard has a MIDI output besides the USB, so it's practically just an inconvenience.

So i know you don't really care about people who paid their last cents on a used RME card and trying to run pirated 64-bit software on it (well, I don't because I can't but I would if I could, i would even download hardware if I could, even goddamn airplane if it were possible), but still we are that few per cent of possible buying force that eventually buy the stuff when they get paid more for a better quality music, but the harder it is to make the music, the less chance we have. However we stand united and want to say: congratulations on making a product that still operates after 10 years.

Thanks for reading and please send me an RME HDSPe RayDAT for free.

Hiyas,

Ok, I'm on Win7 32bit, using the DIGI9652. It's terrific with Cubase 6, but I can't get audio from a browser, or system sounds, etc.. It used to be fine in WinXP, but is there something I can do to hear browser/video audio, etc...? I can use Winamp as well, but nothing from a browser...

Thanks Jeff.. So would the new HDSP 9652 PCI Card have wdm support (which would be awesome, so I could use 64 bit 7, not that I can afford a new card...) or would it be just like the current config, with no browser/system sounds? I realize this is a little off topic by this point, lol..

Hi

i just upgraeded to Win7 32bit and im using the Digi9652 with ADI-8pro.

it was fine to play mp3 file when i used WinXp with Winamp player.

but now i can't find the outputs in Winamp player - preference -Nullsoft Directsound Output -configure.

i can see the outputs (ADAT1 to 8) in Nullsoft Waveout output though.

what did i miss? is there something to do set up in Win7?

please help me

thanks

thanks a lot!

i got 1more question

my motherboard has digital out(optical),can i put this into ADAT AUX of ADI-8pro?

it works with my home theater but not with ADI-8pro..

i already tried with combine button

what should i do?

thanks for help

I will soon be jumping to 64bit.

I need PCIe with 16 adat optical ins/outs or

8 adat in/out and 8 analogue in that will work with external preamps.

What do you suggest?

Budget around $700.00

Probably have to go used if I want RME.

although this thread is quite old, it is one of the first which comes up with google, so I am posting here...

I've found an ASIO Plugin for Windows Media Player after someone mentioned the winamp plugin. It is found here:

Good luck! I am just working to set my DIGI9636 up under Windows 8.1...

I found this very old thread - apologies for replying to this, but it fits perfectly with my issue. I'm a very happy owner of the RME DIGI9636 card and it's awsome and have been using it for tons of years. But I am also now stuck on 32bit which is not great.

I understand that. However, since the code is so old I figure it's worth a try at least. I personally don't have the time or patience to port an ALSA driver to WDM/ASIO. I'd at least take a crack at updating some working 32-bit driver code though.

We know the DIGI9652 and its drivers must be installed in a 32 bit OS, which is limited to 4Gb of RAM. In most situation of "flat" recording, this is enough. The issue is when we mix post-recording, we would like to use a max of RAM, as supported by 64 bits OS, without having to purchase a second computer.

I'm not a computer pro nor a studio gear guru, so this might not work for obvious reasons, but here is something I have been thinking about for a while. Let's say you have a Win 10 64 bits computer, fully loaded with lightning fast CPU and RAM and SSD drives. A charm for post-recording mixing. Could you install let's say a Win 7 32 bits OS in Virtual Machine (VM) in your 64 bits host and then the DIGI9652 drivers to the VM, and use the VM just for recording? Then switch the VM off when comes the time for post-recording mixing on your big 64 bits system? Though, it is clear that you would need another mean to playback your session from your 64 bits OS into your monitors (second sound card, audio interface, etc) since the DIGI9652 will be usable only under the 32 bits VM...

Oh no, really? So if I understand correctly, a VM is only for software. All hardware must be fully installed and functional under the host to be used under the guest, even though the proper 32 bits drivers are installed. Correct?

And what about a second bootable partition that would have a 32 bits OS installed? Does booting with that partition allow to use the card with that 32 bits OS?

Yes of course and that is a much better option then a VM even if it was possible. VM's have lower performance which is critical for audio. From a (small) ssd booting takes under a minute. Same as a VM in fact.
