Topic: Any news about the proper WDM drivers?

It was mentioned here that there were going to be proper WDM drivers for Windows. It's been months and there is no word of it.

I am sacrificing two outputs to achieve playback from sequencer and Windows for the time being and it is a pain.

Please can you inform us of the progress of the WDM drivers?


I got an Impact Twin and I cannot believe a card that costs half the price lets me operate my sequencer and WMP at the same time and also Sibelius works correctly and my 3 RME cards cannot do this. sad

You are talking about ASIO/WDM playback on the same channels. I can not remember that we announced something like that, sorry. The latest WDM improved driver is version 3.083, found in this forum, and fixes typical WDM problems (DVD and AC-3 playback).

Hello Matthias, it is a post from November, not announced- just mentioned.

I quote your words:

In fact we did this unintentionally with our older drivers, and we already have plans to bring back that functionality with the current drivers. Please don't ask when.

So is this out of the plans now? sad

Any news on the WDM drivers yet? Is it out of the schedule after all?

It is really disappointing because now most of the time all of my I/O's on my Multiface II are occupied and I cannot dedicate two channels for Windows sounds. This means I have to quit Cubase in order to check if an exported channel is exported correctly.

I hope the development team at RME have not forgotten about this one.
