NAME

       madfuload - Device firmware loader utility for M-Audio DFU devices

SYNOPSIS

       madfuload [ option ] ...

DESCRIPTION

       madfuload is used to download firmware files to M-Audio DFU devices. These devices require
       a firmware download before an operating system  driver  (e.g.  ALSA's  snd-usb-audio)  can
       access them.

       Supported devices:

               - Audiophile
               - Sonica
               - Ozone
               - MobilePre USB (some newer models work without the loader)
               - Transit

       The  loader  is  not  required  for some newer models of the above devices, like the Ozone
       Academic.
