Edirol Ua 25 Driver For Windows 10

To my great surprise - after having said 'NO!' Every time Windows has tried to install Windows 10, yesterday morning Windows 10 installed itself. It gave me no choice. But that's another discussion. The main reason I have said 'NO!' To Windows 1+ was the simple fact that my audio device is an Edirol US-25.

It works quite well and I have found no reason to get anything else. Now with Windows 10 that the US-25 isn't working anymore. And Roland site doesn't provide a driver for the UA-25. There must surely be a workaround here.? How do i get my Edirol UA-25 to work with Windows 10?

MT (Having Windows 10 going back to Windows 7 is an option that I have tried. It's not fool proof however.

It seems to have corrupted lot of stuff. I have to go back to bakups I have. WHich will then of course try to update to W10.

So perhaps I need to simply accept Windows 10 and solve the Edirol problem. Instead if sitting with W7 and being annoyed by W10's impolite way of forcing itself on me.).

I know it has been some months but I only just came across this thread. Here is the Cakewalk link mentioned by ManyTracks: It does look complicated but it does work. I've been happily using my vintage UA25 ever since I upgraded to Win 10 x64 last year. Here's my take on how and why the Cakewalk hack works. Microsoft introduced device driver signing to eliminate the problem of outdated drivers blue-screening Windows or making Windows unstable. Companies issue an.inf file along with the driver to specify what versions of Windows are allowed to use it.

Features were added to Windows so that it would check the inf file and refuse to run older drivers. The inf file checking process was deliberately made difficult to access to prevent it being disabled. The inf file is actually just a text file and is editable using notepad. The trick is knowing what text to edit and how to make Windows accept the edited.inf file after editing.

Most of the complex looking instructions are concerned with these details. But why does the trick work.why no blue screen? Sometimes new driver code is required and the inf file does it's job by blocking access to the older driver. Other times older drivers will work fine if only a new inf file were available or the original tweaked to accept a new Windows version. So why no 'official' manufacturer's inf file update?

Could it be that it is more lucrative to force users to buy new hardware? I wonder how much perfectly functional hardware has been binned because it has been deliberately made 'obsolete' in this way.

Quote: But why does the trick work.why no blue screen? Some vendors always tell the installer which OS versions to accept as a safety precaution, based on the OS's they have officially tested. Since they don't continue to support the product, which means they don't test in the newer OS version, they don't update the installer. If you change that in the inf so that Windows 10 is in the version list it will install. That says nothing about how well the driver will or won't work but if it works go for it. Other than that, it's still a matter of time before that device becomes even more obsolete. I have Edirol UA25-EX, and it works just fine under windows 10.

I seem to recall it worked without a hitch when I plugged it into my windows 10 laptop, but when I installed windows 10 on my DAW, it didn't straight away. I think all I did was reinstall the latest drivers, and it worked. I seem to recall being a little worried for a second, remembering it worked on my laptop, and not having to go to much trouble to get it working. It works as well as ever right now, for sure. EDIT: It may have to do with having the USB plugged in during windows 10 upgrade. For DAW it was, for laptop not, I seem to remember there is a plug in procedure for installing its drivers. Hi, Yes it will be 'obsolete' for 10 and further.But its still a viable production asset.

Realtek 8188ee Windows 10 Driver. That's why I still have an os9 Mac running.and why I dumped apple.I'm not buying a new computer just when apple or ms decide they need to make a 'boat payment'. And I'll probably still have an xp box around for many years also.

I actually still wish I had not sold my Atari. Sorry for the ot, but I have a problem with planned obsolescence. The grandaddy is avid $5 to $10k control surfaces that they decide are 'obsolete'. Thank God I never gave THEM any money. Roland is one of the great legends of proprietary formats and stringing customers along with little cartridges and things, going back to the 80s.

They still adhere to this business model, though they can't do so to the extent they did in the 80s, where to get the most out of a synth or sampler meant buying endless special cartridges, disks with proprietary sample formats, whatever. I still love their gear, dammit, have a roomful of it. But they're terrible about milking customers and enforced convalescence of their legacy products, I have a UA-25 also (bizarre fact: I got it from the guitarist for Men Without Hats) and am frankly surprised they maintained support all the way to Win 8, the usual Roland m.o.

Would have had them dropping it at XP and using Microsoft's ending of support for XP as an excuse. I use the UA with an old XP laptop I use for managing hardware synth editing and banks so I haven't tried running it under 10 and don't plan to try.
