I just got a fireface 800, but nothing is happening. Im using a mac g5 dual 2ghz with osx 10.5.8. Im presuming the drivers that came with the fireface dont suit an older machine. Im new to mac so would be greatful of help! When i try run the fireface mixer it tells me it is not supported on the architecture.
PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
Looks like you just need to contact the manufacturer for your drivers:
http://www.rme-audio.de/en_products_fireface_800.php
It says compatible with both PowerPC (you have), and 10.3.x or later.
10.4.4 was the first prebundled with Intel Macs, but was also available for PowerPC Macs.
10.5 was the first retail released that could run on both.
So there is a good chance the drivers are compatible with your G5.
Yeah i tried there and downloaded an older driver for ppc mac , 262a, but when i try to install it it tells me it cant install midi drivers.
Maybe what you need is a compatible USB Midi adapter. There are a few out there.
have you ran the latest firmware version for the Fireface then ran the driver installer?
both have to be compatible with your OS version and you need the installers to confim this during setup.
Have you also then configured the device in Utilities > Audio MIDI setup?
you will need to refer to the user instructions to perform exactly how the hardware and configuration is done.
right....i have it working but not too sure how! anyway...i found the old rme site and downloaded a driver off that....and tried some version or other of the firmware. Ive sound now anyway. Thanks anyway. I think there may be an issue with osx 10.5.8 and rme drivers.
Now that you have it working, clone backup your system*:

There is no guarantee the next install won't break it.
