This is my final attempt to see if anyone knows of a workaround to get my Yamaha n12 series mixing desk FireWire drivers to install with Windows 10.
The Yamaha n 12 has stopped working and Windows 10 just won’t install the basic Yamaha n Series fw drivers.
I have installed these drivers many times before so I am thinking it’s maybe to do with the latest windows 10 update before Microsoft stops all support for windows 10 in Jan 2025.
So I have reinstalled Windows 10 offline installation, no internet connection and blocked Windows 10 auto updates for a while.
I have also installed Microsoft legacy driver for my 1394a FireWire card.
I thought I had it going to start with but no luck.
In windows device manager under sound controllers
I can see Yamaha n series driver but it is not installed.
When I switch on the mixing desk
I then can also see in windows device manager
Yamaha Steinberg FW bus as installed
Yamaha WDM Audio as installed
Yamaha WDM Midi as installed
I would have thought that my above actions would have worked but unfortunately not.
I’m just wondering if anyone can think of anything else worth trying before I go and purchase new equipment.
Many thanks
