Windows upgrades haven't affected my turntable. '-)
Micromega Mydac is a pain..
I've been trying to upgrade the driver for this for 2 days now and I'm done pulling out my hair. What a joke. The driver for 24 bits/192 khz won't load with Windows 10. The tutorial supplied doesn't work, either. Thought I'd try my old desk top which runs Windows XP, and got somewhere with that. I was able to download the driver, but it still wasn't recognized with my notebook running Windows 10. I uninstalled, reinstalled, uninstalled, and reinstalled, and it still isn't recognized. Micromega doesn't respond to emails. It will work for streaming Tidal, Spotify, and Radio Tunes, but it just bothers me that I bought something that only partially works and the manufacturer won't even respond. I've had reservations about this digital business and now I see why. I've had a monster headache for 2 days now and I'm finished with it. When I think about hooking the notebook up to it I just get pi$$ed. I think if I take a huge hammer to it I'd feel a lot better.

If you want an alternate solution until they fix the Win 10 drivers, you can use Linux. Its like Apple. You don't need special drivers. You can put a Linux distro on a dvd or usb stick and run it directly from that, and not touch your hard drive. All you need to do is download an iso file and burn it on a dvd. If you're interested, I can show you where to download exactly what you need. Its much easier than dealing with Windows. |
Thanks Zd542. That may be the direction I'll have to take. I'm awaiting a return call/email from the number provided by the seller. I've also heard back from the Mydac folks. They asked if I got the download from their site, which I did. They then said when I right click on the setup.exe file I should see a pop-up with multiple tabs and I should select the compatibility tab. The only tab that appears is a general tab, nothing more. I tried multiple times on all of the files and I get the same thing. So now we play phone/email tag to see if we can work it out. Zd542, I'll be in touch if need be on your Linux offer. |
Swampwalker, when you decide to go to Windows 10, read http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2015/08/windows_10_privacy_problems_here_s_how_bad_they_are_and_how_to_plug_them.html this. That's how I set mine up. They're getting real invasive. |
