RME Driver & Firmware: Download and Installation

[Jeefs]

Would be nice if it worked like that. There is no setup file for windows drivers, you need to replace the files manually in your system folder...then replace the total mix and control panel in your autostart configuration. this always took me some time.

@Jeefs: You are missing something! Reed the manual. In Windows XP the Hardware Wizard Dialog is shown when a new hardware is found. In Windows 7 Microsoft removed the automatic start of the Driver Software Update dialog. Hit the Windows key, type 'Device Manager', start the Device Manager by selecting it from the list and hit Enter. Insert the RME Driver CD into your CD-ROM drive, and follow the instructions. Windows now installs the driver and registers it as a new audio device. Reboot.

@RMEAudio That's clear but if I do and update I don't have a CD only the zip from the RME update page

@Jeefs

Thats the same. Unpack and choose this directory. The CD is nearly useless. Always use the "ZIP" with the latest drivers from the website.

@RMEAudio yeah I did that but the Driver Wizard didn't update total fx and the Settings Dialogue. It's not a big deal I just thought a .exe for the update would've been more pleasant

@Jeefs Forget Windows, buy a Mac. Everything is easy, fast and....much more estability

[Jeefs]

@gobeco I'm cool with windows. it's cheaper and if you know how to program you can do anything yourself.

[gobeco]

@Jeefs You can program on your Mac too. I usually buy a high-grade Pc laptop each 2 years becouse a intense use heat make the hardware to melt it. Now my mac is from march 2008 and even can heard the vent working after 5hours computer working and I cant remember my last not desire reboot :-) It is a very critical moment to record a gig on stage.

Anyway good luck!!.

@gobeco I know that mac is very stable, but atm I don't feel the need to change my system ;)
