no they are alldsp plp226 units, but the void software/firmware on the void site is way old (2014) i've managed to get the latest firmware flashed to mine, v3.8.22 from feb 2017 ( https://www.alldsp.com/downloads/customers/AllDSP_OEM/3_8_22_114920/Release_Notes_v_3_8_22_114920.pdf" rel="nofollow - https://www.alldsp.com/downloads/customers/AllDSP_OEM/3_8_22_114920/Release_Notes_v_3_8_22_114920.pdf ) also managed to get the newer software to talk to my machine i was just wondering what firmware others had on theirs and if it was useful to detail how to do it etc |

sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm quite curious as to how you managed to install the latest firmware and managed to get AllDSP's
software to work with your machine. I also own a plp226 (although it's not a digidrive but a miltec dnp26) and of course the software that's available via miltec is old and the recent AllDSP software does not recognise my unit, so I'm wondering if there's some sort of special procedure to force a firmware update or if I'm stuck in the past ! |

| You can probably do it. Have you got a link to the latest software available? I will doctor it for you to include the firmware update. |

Cheers mate that's really nice of you ! the link to my latest available software is:http://www.miltecdistribution.co.uk/downloads (the v3.4.2, which I believe only runs on win 7 or less), and of course I hope to upgrade to this: http://https://www.alldsp.com/downloadAllControl.php?vers=3_8_22_115102&dir=AllDSP_OEM/3_8_22_115102&name=DSP_Control_Software. |

| Can you check and see what firmware is installed on the unit? (You can do it via the front panel, can't remember exactly combo tho) |

| well apparently mine is 3.4.2 |

the software there won't install for me, it just rolls back instantly. I had the same issue with the Void software. can you create a zip file for me, of the contents of the program directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\Miltec\MT-DNP\" if you can upload it somewhere I can get the info I need to make you an updated copy |

Updating different version to OEM unit is very tricky as the software reads the unit code. However, that rollback issue is likely to be caused by Win8/8.1/10 driver digital signature enforcement. You need to do advanced restart with that feature disabled to get the software installing correctly. |

Yes, it reads the device-id from the unit, then its just a need to rebuild the config with the obtained device-id and rename the latest firmware for the device to match. it took me a couple hours to figure it out now i can update to latest firmware and software easily |

I had the same problem, it would only install on the latest dev build of wine or on my old win 7 laptop, old stuff :) here is a link to the zip file (hopefully I got the sharing permission right) : https://drive.google.com//d/0B7pe58AQE_nlX3g3ZGpkbWR4RTQ/view?usp=sharing - https://drive.google.com/file/ |

Hello, I have a livedrive v2, which is also an alldsp unit. Mine is running following versions: SW: 3.4.2.15011 HW: 4.9.3 Didn't managed to get the device ID, where are you getting it from? i'll download the alldsp software and to figure how is it checking the hardware. |

you can get it from later versions of the software via the about dialog, but first you obviously need to be running the later version - you can find it in the config file installed in the program directory, look for supported_units or similar |

I think i found it: [ROOT] skin_path = skins build_number = 105316 about_text = Copyright (C) Void Acoustics 1_1_13 = Digidrive V2 title = Void Network Control Software ethernet_support = yes brand = Void default_skin = 111_0_0 1_1_31 = Livedrive V2 use_master_network_window = yes child_offset_y = 25 child_offset_x = 0 demo_password = Demo 1_1_2 = 1800B 111_0_0 = Digidrive V2 111_0_1 = Livedrive V2 supported_units = 111_0_0,1_1_13,1_1_2,111_0_1,1_1_31 Maybe i have to add "111_0_1" to the supported units on the new software config? as the "1_1_31" is already listed there.

After i added that id to the config, it detects the livedrive on the main menu, but stays on "connecting..." forever. Also tried updating, but it says "Erase failed"

ok if both of you that need help install this: ftp://webdownloads:4AH2a2FA@ftp.monacor.de/DSM-26LAN/DSP_Controlle%20V_3_8_22.zip It's the Monacor version of the DSP software(which is latest and I found works best) I'll post up the changes for you both shortly

okay michmich, once you've installed that software I outlined above, download this: https://ufile.io/7gg24" rel="nofollow - https://ufile.io/7gg24 Then extract and merge the contents with c:\program files (x86)\monacor after that start the DSP controller and you should have latest software and be able to connect. you can then enter admin password (Ad_min from memory) to get access to firmware update menu check the front panel of the device to confirm firmware update if this works i'll do the livedrive v2 one for krestudon

Do you still need my full config? I've just downloaded the monacor software you linked, and i'll test. I'll have to do in another laptop, as until now i was using macintosh versions.

After having a look at the files you provided to michmich, i did the same on mine, using the 1_1_31 ID as the source, because in the VOID software version, its also called Livedrive V2. Edited the main.cfg file to add the model, added the directory to skins subdir, and also the .dfi file in dfi folder. But the result is still the same. In the main menu it show my device, with its MAC address, but keeps "connecting..." forever. Tried with the allDSP OEM software and also with the Monacor one, with the same result.

The full config from VOID version of the software is the one i quote below:
The modified config i'm using on the monacor software you shared yesterday is the following (just added void ID to the list and supported devices, and changed brand): [ROOT] nw_g_fg = (255,255,255) nw_u_fg = (255,255,255) nw_g_bg = (76,76,76) link_mute = yes image_replace_list = {'logo_1':'logo.png'} 5_0_0 = MEGA-DSP grouping_channel_exclusions = ('outputs') supported_units = 5_0_0, 32_1_13, 32_1_31_0, 32_1_31_1, 32_1_2, 32_1_4, 32_1_5, 111_0_1 build_number = 114911 title = MONACOR DSP Controller default_skin = 5_0_0 32_1_13 = DSM-26LAN nw_u_bg = (96,96,96) brand = Void mv_panel = 32_1_mv close_at_fw_update = yes nw_h_fg = (255,255,255) group_types = {"Carbon Copy":"Carbon Copy", "Advanced":"Advanced","Master Volume":"1_1_mv"} about_text = Copyright (C) Monacor 32_1_4 = DSP-26 usb_update_supported_list = ('32_1_2','32_1_4') nw_h_bg = (20,0,181) 32_1_2 = STA-1000DSP 32_1_5 = AKB-05WALL 32_1_31_0 = DSM-48LAN 32_1_31_1 = DSM-48DT 111_0_1 = Livedrive V2 [Network] unit_text_colour = (222,222,222) unit_ip_colour = (200,200,200) unit_mac_colour = (200,200,200) |

where did you copy the skin from? if it's from the Void install that may not work as I don't think it contains everything the newer software needs. try looking for the equivalent Monacor model skin? |

oh and change default_skin :) |

Thanks Freddy, I think i copied everything (skin and dfi) from the latest OEM software version got from AllDSP. And for sure i forgot changing the default skin line. I'll try that this afternoon, and return with the result. Thank you very much!

| What skin folder name did you copy and was it from alldsp OEM or monacor? Try finding the monacor equivalent model and using that skin folder renamed to yours .. I think I had this problem when first trying to figure it all out, the alldsp OEM I could never get working hence I started trying with monacor |

Hello, I'll try to detail all the performed steps. Checked that the monacor model 32_1_31_0 = DSM-48LAN is what equals the Void Livedrive v2. Added the following line to main.cfg: 111_0_1 = Livedrive V2 Added 111_0_1 to the supported_units line Set 111_0_1 at the default_skin line Set Void at the brand line Copied the skins/32_1_31_0 folder to skins/111_0_1 Copied 32_1_31_0.dfi file from dfi folder to dfi/111_0_1.dfi Thats all; hope i missed something you can help me with. Thank you in advance.

Did you know if theres any way to see which identifier the unit identifies itself? I'll try a traffic capture later today, and see what goes on. Thank you, Freddy

| during my initial checks, i did wireshark the traffic going to and from the unit, but it appears not to be easily decipherable - i would need more units with different device IDs to be able to spot a pattern etc |

krestudon, I have managed to fix this problem. I now own a livedrive and had the same problem as you. the trick is to update the firmware first using the void install, then you can use the newer monacor control app. so copy the matching dfi file from monacor to your void dfi directory, use void controller to log on, find enter password on menu and use Ad_min, then find update firmware, once done, you should be able to connect with monacor app |

Date Posted: 21 September 2017 at 7:12pm
| Oops you need to rename the firmware file to match as well |
Posted By: krestudon
Date Posted: 29 September 2017 at 9:22pm
|
That worked exactly as you said. Now its updated and it works with all software releases. Thank you very much! One more question; i've seen that the void version in Tools menu has a BGM player util, but haven't managed to made it work in any way. Have you used it? The OEM, or Monacor versions, doesnt have it.

| Never used the bgm thing. Also 0_0_0 DfE file is an interface firmware update...use the newer app to update firmware again and check the about menu, if it says (OK) then you're on the latest |
