Topic: RME Multiface PCI can't be detected

Hello,
I got a used Multiface (the old model) and it doesnt work.
My computer just cant detect it, but I can see the red "Host" light is working on the in the I/O and converters box.
I tried to follow all the steps in the RME site but the comuter doesnt show it even as an unknown device in the device manager.
I use windows 7 64-bit and a Gigabyte ga-x58a-ud3r motherboard.

Is there something I can do? maybe something is wrong with the PCI? the former owner said it worked just fine.
Maybe it doesnt go well with this spesific motherboard?

Please help.
Thanks,
Itamar.

Which driver have you installed? Can you open settings dialog and mixer?

I tried to install all the drivers you have and when I double click the Icon nothing happens exept for appearance of the small icon in the right side of the taskbar (where all the things open in the background close to the clock and date).
Same with the mixer.

Randomly clicking icons will not install a driver.... Please see http://www.rme-audio.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=7348

It says:
- Hit the Win key, type 'Device Manager', start the Device Manager by selecting it from the list and hit Return.

- The device is shown with a yellow warning symbol.
Well, it's not. nothing is. there's nothing new in there.. it's like the pci doesnt exist.

Is there another PCI slot to try the HDSP card in?

No, all the others are PCI express and this is the only PCI on my mother board. but it worked just fine with my former soundcard..

Re: RME Multiface PCI can't be detected

It says over there:
" The normal procedure in case of boot/initialization problems is exchanging the PCI card via your retailer and/or distributor against a modified card."
Does it mean I can go to the distributor and my country and replace the old card with a new one with no charge?

That Tech Info is from 2002. If you find a time machine somewhere then you might get a new card for free....

Please be more specific - what exactly did not work and what did you do?
