7. Driver Installation
7.1 Windows 98/SE/ME
After the interface has been installed correctly, connected to the Multiface (see 6. Hardware
Installation), and the computer has been switched on, Windows will recognize the new
hardware component and start its 'Add New Hardware Wizard'. Insert the RME Driver CD into
your CD-ROM drive, and follow further instructions which appear on your computer screen. The
driver files are located in the directory \HDSP_w98 on the RME Driver CD.
Windows will install the Hammerfall DSP System driver, and will register the card in the system
as a new audio device. The computer should now be re-booted.
Unfortunately, there are rare cases where the CD-ROM path (i.e. its drive-letter) has to be
typed in again during the copy process.
Multiface can be easily configured using the HDSP System's Settings dialog (see section 9.1)
7.2 Windows 2000/XP
After the interface has been installed correctly, connected to the Multiface (see 6. Hardware
Installation), and the computer has been switched on, Windows will recognize the new
hardware component and start its 'Hardware Wizard'. Insert the RME Driver CD into your CD-
ROM drive, and follow further instructions which appear on your computer screen. The driver
files are located in the directory \HDSP_w2k on the RME Driver CD.
Windows will install the Hammerfall DSP System driver, and will register the card in the system
as a new audio device. After a reboot the Multiface is ready for use.
Multiface can be configured easily using the HDSP System's settings dialog (see section 9.1)
In case the warning messages 'Digital signature not found', 'Do not install driver', 'not certified
driver' or similar come up: Don't listen to Microsoft, listen to us and continue with the
installation.
7.3 Deinstalling the Drivers
A deinstallation of the HDSP's driver files is not necessary – and not supported by Windows
anyway. Thanks to full Plug & Play support, the driver files will not be loaded after the hardware
has been removed. If desired these files can then be deleted manually.
Unfortunately Windows Plug & Play methods do not cover the additonal autorun entries of
TotalMix, the Settings dialog, and the registering of the ASIO driver. Those entries can be
removed from the registry through a software deinstallation request. This request can be found
(like all deinstallation entries) in Control Panel, Software. Click on the entry 'RME Hammerfall
DSP Tray Tools', or 'RME Hammerfall DSP'.
7.4 Linux/Unix
An ALSA driver for Linux/Unix is planned to be available soon. Further information on ALSA is
available at
