AND NOW IT WORKS :roll

So I shut off the computer, like I already had done for 4 times to see if it worked. But this time I shut down the power from the Outlet amd then I unpluged the Firewire and waited for 1 minute.

Then I started all up again.  The led was still RED when it came into Windows but then a few sec after it blinket and went away. I then started my Octamic 2 and the green led went on for Sync

If I shoudl get rid of my OLD multiface what you then be the best upgrade ?   I have the new Octamic 2 so woudl that ex be a Fireface 400 ?  or the Baby face ? .  What is the difference and which fits my Octamic 2 best ?

Hi Daniel,

It works but it is really strange. TOday I had to reboote 4 times and pull out ht eFirewire cable and then the Multiface blinks and turn yellow and then back toi red and then it does it again and then it is ok.

It must be becasue of some Microsoft updates :-(   It sucks big tiume that I can not just turn on the computer and then I am up and running.

Is there a new update on the way better than 3.083  and that maybe are more compatible to WIn 7 64 bit ?

It is like the multiface struckles to start when the computer starts. It blonk and blink and blinks and then turn RED.

So I have to close everything down and pull out the firewire and wait for 5 min and then start up and then sometimes it work and sometimes it does not. 

I had theis problem before in Windows XP, but suddenly a RME driver update removed the problem. But now in Win 7 64 it is back. m

So I think it can be fixed with a driver update of some kind.

Thanks

Hi Daniel,

Is the only way to see that if I open the computer and look at the PCI card ? .  When runnign the FUT it says rev 17.  I bought " audiolink 96 " and Pci card in 2002 I think and it has been work perfect. I have then added the Octa mic 2 last year.  All working perfect together.

I will look in the computer tomorrow.

FWIW I had a PCI HDSP that started to act in a similar fashion - it eventually died.  Not saying this is about to happen to yours, but your symptoms sound loosely similar.  The card eventually wouldn't show up in the Device manager at all - but still powered the Multiface.

If turns out this is your issue, then repair is no longer an option for the PCI HDSP cards - but RME will give you a small discount on a new replacement card in leu of a repair...

Just an FYI
