19. Mac OS X FAQ

19.1 Round about Driver Installation

The driver with the file suffix

zip

provided by RME is a compressed archive. Zip is directly sup-

ported by OS X, a double click on the file is all one needs to do.

The driver consists of a package file (pkg). A double click will start the OS X installer.

The actual audio driver appears as a kernel extension file. The installer copies it to

>System/

Library/ Extensions<

. Its name is

HDSPe_FX.kext

. It is visible in the Finder, allowing you to

verify date and driver version. Yet, in fact this again is a folder containing subdirectories and
files.

Nonetheless, this 'driver file' can be removed by simply dragging it to the trash bin. This can be
helpful in case a driver installation fails.

19.2 MIDI doesn't work

In some cases the applications do not show the MIDI port. The reason for this is usually visible
within the

Audio MIDI Setup

. It displays no RME MIDI device, or the device is greyed out and

therefore inactive. Mostly, removing the greyed out device and searching for MIDI devices again
will solve the problem.

The HDSPe MIDI driver is a plugin. During installation it will be copied to

>Library/ Audio/ MIDI

Drivers<

. Its name is

HDSPe FX MIDI.plugin

. The file can be displayed in the Finder and also

be removed by simply dragging it to the trash bin.

19.3 Supported Sample Rates

RME's Mac OS X driver supports all sampling frequencies provided by the hardware. This in-
cludes

32 kHz

and

64 kHz

, and even

128 kHz, 176.4 kHz

and

192 kHz

.

But not any software will support all the hardware's sample rates. The hardware's capabilities
can easily be verified in the

Audio MIDI Setup

. Select

Audio devices

under

Properties of:

and choose the Hammerfall. A click on

Format

will list the supported sample frequencies.

19.4 Repairing Disk Permissions

Repairing permission can solve problems with the installation process - plus many others. To do
this, launch

Disk Utility

located in

Utilities

. Select your system drive in the drive/volume list to

the left. The

First Aid

tab to the right now allows you to check and repair disk permissions.
