Yeah... I tried using the RME firmware update app on windows... but it did nothing to get get from 50 down to 11, even after a complete shutdown and power-off. I haven't even found 50 listed on the RME website as something that exists... but I sent a message to george@xvisionaudio, who is listed as an RME support person, so I might get a message on Monday. Anyway, hopefully the new alsa drivers will have a viable update. M
