News, changes and fixes

Attention:

- This driver requires Windows 10 (1709) or higher

- This driver does not support 32 bit Windows OS anymore (32 bit apps can still be used with an x64 system)

- This driver also supports Windows 11 Arm systems. Both WDM and ASIO are available. ASIO is included as 32 bit and 64 bit, both Arm64EC and Arm native.

- The installer is completely reworked and now copies current files to C:\Program Files\RME\MADIface

- Changing between the former and this driver on Intel systems, back and forth, should be easy and without issues 

- Some audio apps on Arm might require to set the power mode not to Best Performance, but Best Power Efficiency, to be able to use latencies below 1024 samples. This might be true only for low CPU apps, though, and needs further investigation, but in any case the driver has no influence on this. As an example, on current computers Reaper and Cubase need about 256 sample buffer size for a fully click-free operation.

- In most cases, a restart is no longer necessary after both initial installation and update. TotalMix FX and Settings dialog are immediately available in the notification area and are also updated.

- To completely uninstall the driver start rmeinstaller.exe and choose Uninstall. Note: Uninstall via Windows Apps (Add & Remove) is no longer supported.
