What exactly are you trying to do? Is the Multiface connected to a PCI/e card?

You have to install the FF800, then set up sync configuration, and set up the routing matrix. When this is complete, flash both to internal memory, then disconnect the FF800. Please see this video for detailed instructions.

fryingpan Well, we can't help since we know absolutely nothing about your computer, where you are having trouble. There is no problem to install both drivers on the computer.

Re: Connecting MULTIFACE II and FIREFACE 800...

Have you connected a second ADAT cable, from the output of the Multiface to the input of the Fireface? That would be step one. Then you'll have to plug the Fireface back in via firewire, open TotalMix, and route ADAT inputs (13-20 for the first ADAT port, or 21-28 for the second ADAT port) to the analog outputs (1-8). In the Fireface settings window, make sure input 1 is routed correctly (front input if you will use it as a D.I., rear input if you will use it as a balanced line input). Flash settings, unplug firewire, test it out.
