7.2 De-installing the Drivers

A de-installation of the driver files is not necessary. Thanks to full Plug & Play support, the

driver files will not be loaded after the hardware has been removed.

Unfortunately Windows Plug & Play methods do not cover the additional autorun entries of To-

talMix, the Settings dialog, and the registration of the ASIO driver. These entries can be re-

moved from the registry by a software de-installation request. This request can be found (like all

de-installation entries) in Control Panel, Programs and Features (XP: Add or Remove Pro-

grams). Click on the entry 'RME Fireface USB'. Here it is also possible to remove the driver

itself. Select Windows Driver Package – RME Fireface USB, then Uninstall.

7.3 Firmware Update

The Flash Update Tool updates the firmware of the Babyface Pro to the latest version. It re-

quires an already installed driver.

Start the program fut_usb.exe. The Flash Update

Tool displays the current revision of the Babyface

Pro's firmware, and whether it needs an update or

not. If so, then simply press the 'Update' button. A

progress bar will indicate when the flash process is

finished (Verify Ok).

After the update the Babyface Pro needs to be

reset. This is done by powering down the Babyface

Pro for 5 seconds.

Attention

: the Babyface Pro should not be switched

off for less than 5 seconds, because Windows

completely unloads the driver, which takes some

time to finish.

A reboot of the computer is not necessary.

When the update unexpectedly fails (status: failure), the unit's Safety BIOS will be used from

the next boot on, the unit stays fully functional. The flash process should then be tried again.
