13. Driver and Flash Update
13.1 Driver Installation
After the MADIface has been connected to the computer and switched on install the drivers
from the RME Driver CD. The driver files are located in the folder
\Fireface_USB
for USB 3 and USB 2.0
\HDSPe FX
for external PCI Express
Installation works automatically by a double-click on the file
Fireface_USB.pkg
or
hdspe_fx.pkg
.
During driver installation the programs
Totalmix
(TotalMix FX) and
Fireface USB Settings
or
HDSPe FX Settings
are copied to the Applications folder. They will automatically start into the
dock if a MADIface is connected. A reboot of the computer is not required.
Driver Updates
do not require to remove the existing drivers. Simply install the new driver over
the existing one.
Note: PCI Express and USB can be connected at the same time. However, the unit will use only
one port. If no interface mode is pre-defined, then the port that becomes active first at the com-
puter will be used.
