Topic: High Sierra - RME Fireface 400 and Autosync/Master setting

Hello,

Is it me or is my fire face 400 broken? I am running 10.13 High Sierra and I cannot set Auto sync anymore.

Always stays on Master. Switching samplerate does work the setting always stays on Master.

Any clues? I ready re-flashed the lasted firmware for the ff400.

Edit: by the way what's up with https://archiv.rme-audio.de/download gives me a strange ad site, was looking for older drivers for OSX and tried 331.zip

I don't know where you got this link, but it is not correct:

Current FW driver for Mac is 3.33.

Hi Matthias,

I just copied it from the 3.33 link. But never mind about this.

I installed Sierra 10.12.6 but still no auto sync, always master. Do you have any tips what could cause this?

It does switch to slave mode via optical spdif when I connect a xbox360 via spdif to it.

I don't understand. Without any external signal (SPDIF, ADAT, MADI, Word) the card cannot be Slave.

Hi Matthias,

I meant slave mode is on when connecting xbox360 via optical spdif, master switches to slave then.

Before I could set the FF400 to AutoSync or Master when no device is connected but now it always stays on Master.

Is there a way to reset the FF400 settings internally ?

Where is the error in that video? You can select AutoSync. And the card's clock mode will not change as long as no external clock/signal is found. That has been the same ever since.
