Hi there, I've also had a shmeck of a time getting anything decent sounding out of my Multiface on an Ubuntu laptop (although it works ok on my desktop, albeit with latency)<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote"><br></span>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><br>For an upgrade or downgrade you have to run the executable "firmware<br>update" program from the RME site.
</blockquote><div><br>The only thing I can find on their site is the "hdsp_fut.exe" that comes in<br>"fut_win_dsp.zip". When I run it in windows, it only allows me to upgrade to revision 53 (NOTE for the Paul's post below... lspci says rev 35). So does this mean that I need to email RME for the old one, and if so, which firmware version is the one that people are having success with?
<br><br>One more question; will I run into problems by loading the firmware from a desktop pci card (even if I check cardbus)?<br><br>cheers,<br>rich<br> </div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I'm not sure what they are supplying here anymore. It's been too long<br>since I've looked. If required I could reboot into Windows and<br>possibly check versions tomorrow. Unfortunately hdspconf under Linux<br>
doesn't list the installed firmware version like the Windows version<br>does.<br><br>If the right version doesn't show up on that page you should write RME<br>support and ask them for a copy of the HDSP firmware update program
<br>circa 2004 or 2005. Let them know you are running Linux. I'm sure they<br>can help you get the right version.<br><br>Note that I haven't touched firmware in a few years as there is no<br>support for any Alsa developer to support these cards and the new
<br>firmware. Disappointing, yes, but the cards work very well under Linux<br>with the right version installed.<br><br>Good luck and I hope this helps,<br>Mark<br></blockquote></div><br>
