Pentium 4 + RME Fireface, déception !

Citation : Et... tu aurais une piste ?

Citation : Test driver? What is that?

Well, we have been working hard on trying to make the driver even more
compatible (if that is possible at all ;-)

To do so, we treated our badest computers really hard until they showed
a weired behaviour, sometimes (very sedomly) even crashed (BSOD). We
then tried to improve the driver until the behaviour stayed normal even
when mistreated (of course the BSOD then also vanished).

I would like to sell this driver to the whole world as a quantum leap in
compatibility, giving us another year of engineering ahead of our
competition - but can't do so, simply because we are not 100% sure it
really works as expected. Some users in this forum have critical or
problematic machines, which show bad performance, or suffer from the two
BSODs 'Multiple Interrrupt Request' and 'MDL Too Small'. We don't have
machines doing that more than once in 6 months, so it is up to you to
check out if this driver improves stability!

For all others: if you don't have problems, this update is not
necessary. But even if you install it, don't worry, this is a normal
release version, not a beta.

From the readme:

------------------------
V 2.10 (05/04/2005, current firmware: 1.88)

- Improved stability at small buffer sizes (Multiple IRP complete
requests, Target MDL too small)

- Low latency operation improved on problematic computers

- Memory consumption highly minimized

- Special workaround adresses bug in Ricoh controller, provides
significantly lower latency

- Playback / Record more stable on problematic machines (unexpected stops)

- Small change in the mme.dll (command restart no longer returns an
error code)


Firmware 1.88:

- Start/Stop bug in hardware fixed


64 Bit driver: as above, plus

- Added WDM Speaker Setup and WDM dummy mixer for improved compatibility
to game and home entertainment software


Known problems Win64:

The current settings of the Settings dialog are not stored in the
registry. Problems with computers having more than 4 GByte memory.
