20. Driver Installation
RME is constantly improving their drivers. Please download the latest driver from the RME
website at
http://rme.to/usbe , driver_madiface_win_09609.zip or newer. Unzip the
downloaded file and start the driver installation by a double-click on
rmeinstaller.exe
. Follow the
instructions of the installer. After installation connect computer and ADI-2 DAC. Windows de-
tects the new hardware as
ADI-2 DAC and installs the drivers automatically.
After a reboot, the icon of the Settings dialog appears in the notification
area. Windows might hide it behind the triangle or upwards symbol.
Click on it to access it and to configure its appearance.
Chapter 31.12 explains how to find the ideal USB port.
Driver Updates do not require to remove the existing driver. Simply install the new driver over
the existing one.
Possible reasons why an ADI-2 DAC is not found automatically:
x
The ADI-2 DAC is not switched on
x
The USB port is not active in the system (check the Device Manager)
x
The USB cable is not, or not correctly inserted into the socket
x
Use the ADI-2 DAC State Overview screen to verify USB is detected and working (chapter
15.3)
De-installing the Driver
A de-installation of the driver files is not necessary. Thanks to full Plug & Play support, the
driver files will not be loaded after the hardware has been removed.
Windows Plug & Play methods do not cover the registration of the ASIO driver. This entry can
be removed from the registry by a software de-installation request. This request can be found
(like all de-installation entries) in
Control Panel, Programs and Features
. Click on the entry
'RME MADIface', then
Uninstall
.
Firmware Update
Please see chapter 7. Under Windows the flash update tool requires the MADIface series driver
to be installed, see above.
