Hi there, I've also had a shmeck of a time getting anything decent sounding
out of my Multiface on an Ubuntu laptop (although it works ok on my desktop,
albeit with latency)

The only thing I can find on their site is the "hdsp_fut.exe" that comes in
"fut_win_dsp.zip". When I run it in windows, it only allows me to upgrade
to revision 53 (NOTE for the Paul's post below... lspci says rev 35). So
does this mean that I need to email RME for the old one, and if so, which
firmware version is the one that people are having success with?

One more question; will I run into problems by loading the firmware from a
desktop pci card (even if I check cardbus)?

cheers,
rich

I'm not sure what they are supplying here anymore. It's been too long
