I have a soundcard that requires the firewire legacy drivers. My Windows 10 upgrade went very well except I have not been able to get the legacy drivers to install.
In Windows 8, the driver stack for the 1394 legacy devices was separated from the regular installation (see
'FireWire port-based device does not work correctly in Windows 8.1 or Windows 8', https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2970191).
Running the Windows 8 driver installer In Windows 10, however, does not seem to work properly. A small window pops up then disappears. It says: 'Please wait until Windows configures 1394 OHCI compliant host controller (legacy).' It disappears almost immediately. Too quick to read certainly. I tried to take a screenshot but failed.
No word if the drivers have been installed anywhere. I can't find the location and it is not coming up on search.
Anyone have success in getting the 1394 Firewire legacy drivers to install on Windows 10?
Thanks for your help.
Looking forward to getting sound back.
