New driver for PC (3.5.3 replaces 3.5.0):
- A rare BSOD could occur when receiving MIDI input data
- The driver could exhibit audio dropouts and large spikes of CPU usage on some Windows 7 systems
- On Windows 7, the "Safe Mode Level 1 - 3" Operation Modes are now better at allowing the driver to operate on a system with a high DPC latency (at the expense of additional audio latency). The minimum ASIO buffer size has increased when using one of the Safe Modes on Windows 7
- The Control Panel's System tab now reports more details about the system configuration and an OHCI chipset's capabilities
- A BSOD could occur when changing WDM settings with certain WDM channel mapping configurations.
- A workaround has been added to avoid an intermittent BSOD that could occur in Microsoft's new 1394 OHCI bus driver on Windows 7 64-bit systems with a quad-core processor
- A BSOD could occur because of an error in the driver's WDM channel mapping logic.
- A BSOD could occur when attempting to view the WDM Microphone's properties
- The driver's clock synchronization logic has been improved
- A rare BSOD could occur when an ASIO host application was opening its connection to the driver
- The ASIO driver now reports the correct digital latency on Windows 7
- Improved streaming performance on systems with 4GB or more of RAM installed
- Improved ASIO performance when using small buffer sizes on Windows XP or Vista
MAC Installer:
- To avoid confusion, "Control Panel & Drivers" is now always ticked of
Control Panel
- SK48: +4 switch was inversed. Fixed
- On rare occasions, the Studio Konnekt 48 Mixer would collaps. FixedOn rare occasions, the Studio Konnekt 48 mixers internal data structure would corrupt. Fixed
Firmware:
- Impact Twin: In some cases MIDI was not available. Fixed
VERSION 2.5.0 (R6886) FOR MAC
MAC Driver: Version 3.5.3
- The driver has been updated to include Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" 64-bit driver support.
- If a device was attached while certain applications were active (iTunes and applications that use QuickTime, including web browsers), the CPU usage would increase and these applications' audio playback could become distorted.
- The uninstaller application would not correctly detect and uninstall the driver on a Mac running OS X 10.6 if the driver had been installed before the Mac was upgraded to Mac OS X 10.6.
- If the user's language was set to a non-English language, MIDI could
- Channel names were not displayed in Audio MIDI Setup's speaker configuration window
- The driver could fail to load at system bootup with a device attached
- The driver would hang when used with a device that used a large channel count and a particular channel configuration
- A Kernel Panic could occur in low memory conditions
- MIDI output is now more accurately aligned with the audio
- The driver will now ignore any devices that are not on the same firewire bus as the master device
- Using large Core Audio buffer sizes on PowerPC Macs would often result in audio glitches
- The driver's streaming engine has been improved to minimize CPU usage
- Audio could become silent or distorted if other real time processes delayed the driver's streaming engine from processing its FireWire audio
- The driver is now much faster at reconfiguring its streaming engine, for instance after selecting a new sample rate
- When loading Cubase projects that used different sample rates, the driver would sometimes not switch to the correct sample rate
- After attaching a device for the first time, a device could sometimes appear in Audio MIDI Setup with 0 input channels and 0 output channels and could not be used for audio input or output. The workaround was to toggle the sample rate or clock source to get it to be republished correctly
- On rare occasions, the driver could hang when a device was removed
- In the Control Panel application's Event Log window, the device lock changed bits were displayed in reverse order
- The driver's streaming engine would unnecessarily restart twice when a device's channel configuration would change because of a change to the sample rate
- The driver's clock synchronization logic has been improved
- A device's nickname could become corrupted when it was shortened
- On rare occasions, a device's nickname would not be restored correctly after a system power-cycle
Control Panel
- SK48: +4 switch was inversed. Fixed.
Firmware:

Driver 3.5.0
- The driver's performance on a system with high DPC latencies has been improved
- On Windows 7 64-bit, Microsoft's new 1394 stack would sometimes fail to deallocate the isochronous bandwidth, requiring a system restart to restore the driver's functionality
- A BSOD could occur on multi-processor/core systems when the audio streaming configuration was changed or when it recovered from a dropout
- On Windows 7, the driver's minimum buffer size was not reported correctly
- An ASIO host application's audio could become distorted after a large DPC latency spike occurred on the system
- After putting a Windows 7 system to sleep, Microsoft's new 1394 stack was causing the driver to hang when the system was resumed
- When using stacked devices, the order of the ASIO input channels could be flipped depending on the order that the devices were attached
