Driver and firmware updates
In some cases, there is a driver update available for the SERAPH M2 in the download section
of the MARIAN homepage. It may include:
3
Functional improvements of the driver and/or the user interface (s)
3
Adjustments to new operating systems and/or their new components (updates and service
packs)
3
Compatibility upgrades to audio applications and third-party applications
When performing a driver update please follow the instructions provided in the ’readme.htm’
file, which is part of the packed folder of the new driver files
Important:
In the course of a driver update it may become necessary for the firmware of
the SERAPH M2 to be updated. Whether a firmware update is necessary or not, can only
be determined after an installation/update was performed. The firmware upgrade will then
be executed automatically. The Fail-safe firmware update technology MARIAN protects the
SERAPH M2 against errors, which could occur due to the interruption of the update process,
such as a power failure. If normally this would result in a total malfunction of a system, the
fail-safe technology ensures that at the next initialisation of the SERAPH M2 a core firmware
is loaded. Thus the sound card may again be detected correctly by a Windows
TM
system.

TM
Explorer is capable of displaying compressed files – for installing the driver (update)
a full decompression is required!
