ZED-R16 Windows Driver Pilot

Windows 11 does not recognize nor find any driver pilot for my ZED-R16 plugged into my Firewire PCIe card. Which driver should I use ?

My Firewire controller is a compatible TI XIO2213 PCI Express

I already checked and used all the resources and done what i was supposed to do

But it doesn’t work. I guess you did something wrong.

Does it also supports Windows 11 ?

At least the app seems to work normally, but the driver ?

What i’ve done :

  • uninstalled
  • installed the Allen and Heath Firewire app
  • reboot PC
  • turned on ZED-R16
  • then plugged the Firewire
  • Device Manager still the same error Code 39

@frankm seems like it works for you with Windows 11. We have the same PCIe card. Any tips for me, please ?

Ok, so, now it works with Windows 11 !

After 2 hours of intense efforts, using a good friend of mine, using himself ChatGPG with talent :sweat_smile:

So, I will be quick (because English is not my first language and I don’t even clearly know what we have done).

  • We had to use and keep the standard Windows IEEE driver, works fine (the legacy one is not working)
  • go into Security Windows, disabled MEMORY INTEGRITY to resoled the Allen & Heath FIREWIRE soundcard driver error Code 39 (this one is very tricky)
  • install the A&H Driver
  • then install ASIO4ALL (don’t know if it was necessary)
  • we had a WDM problem in the Allen & Heath FIREWIRE application so we had to
  • install VOICE MEETER STANDARD (i don’t know what my friend have done with it) to enable WDM and ASIO
  • enable DIG RET Pre-INS on the first two channel mix table
  • …and it works !

Hope this help someone one day.

Cheers :slight_smile:

The firmware was not updated, that’s the real reason why I had so many problems :melting_face: No need to use Voicemeeter. Still needed to disabled Integrity Core Memory to let the driver work properly with Windows 11.

Now everything works fine.

I restart my PC and the driver crash again (and again).

I finally went victorious :flexed_biceps:
Every time i start my PC, the driver keeps working.

I wrote a french tutorial. It is hours of research… Too lazy to translate to english, sorry not sorry, but whatever IA translator should do the job.
