Hello,
The new mac mini don't have any firewire ports, so i decided to create a Hackintosh. It works good except with the RME Fireface 400, which is not recognized. I operate with Yosemite and Windows 7 / 64bits
I can't instal the sound cart, on OSX or Windows is the same. My firewire card seems to function because when i connect the RME inside, the card turn on ! So I suppose if I would like use the firewire port to connect an external hard drive, it will be ok (?)
When I try to instal the drivers, it's weird. The drivers are installed but nothing appears, no card in the devices.
When I try update the interface to the last firmware "Mac OS X Intel Flash Update Tool for Fireface 400 and Fireface 800. Update to firmware revision 1.71 and 2.77.", this message comes : "no fireface driver or device installed"
The same when i put the RME application to my old macbook (where the RME is working) on a USB key, to put the application on my hackintosh, it's impossible to open it
To finish i have to say that my firewire card is a VIA. I don't know if it's because I don't have a Texas Instrument. But it's not a 'sound quality problem" , it's more a "recognition problem"
PS : my motherboard is : Gigabyte GA-Z97-D3H , and I didn't find any Firewire option in the BIOS
And please, excuse my english
Thanks,
Alex
