Hammerfall DSP MADI & AES-32

Driver for Windows 2000/XP

Important information: Driver version 2.52


First time Driver Installation:
During the installation of the driver point to the directory where it resides. For more detailed information see manual, found on the RME Driver-CD.


*****************************

!!!!! Driver Update: !!!!!

This driver includes a changed inf file. To prevent Windows 2000/XP from using an old madi.inf (of a former driver installation) be sure NOT to let Windows search for the driver! Instead tell Windows what to do:

- Under Control Panel /System /Device Manager /Sound, Video and Game Controllers /RME Hammerfall DSP MADI /Properties /Driver you'll find the 'Update Driver' button. Select 'Install from a list or specific location (advanced)', click 'Next', select 'Don't search I will choose the driver to install', click 'Next', then 'Have Disk'. Now point to the driver update.

- After the reboot open TotalMix and click on Preset 1.
