I had some issues installing Chodi's Thesycon drivers on Win 7 64bit.  Be sure to completely uninstall any other legancy ASIO drivers on the machine.

Preproman - I had the exact same result when trying to install Chodi's driver on a Windows 8 machine.  This was on a system with no XMOS driver ever installed previously.  I gave up and installed the stock driver.

 

[preproman]

Where is the stock driver?

I was able to install the 'Chodi' driver set after a bit of tweeking. See page 3 posts #45 & #46

Mine came on one of those mini CD's from the factory

Yeah mine did to.  How the hell do you use that thing?

Run as Admin - just the normal driver install disc.  Be sure the unit is plugged in and powered up

On windows server to install the mod drivers you would have to follow Sajk setup on the previous page as windows server will not let you install  drivers that are unsigned. On windows 7 or 8 standard installation I am sure they will install as I have gotten several comments from users. I think for those having problems you may have antivirus software or firewall software blocking the installation when it is trying to write to the registry. I know that Comodo firewall for example will block this unless you disable it during install or tell it to allow the install. This is not so much an issue with this particular waveIO driver as it is a windows issue with any unsigned driver. If anyone is having a problem with install temporarily disabling any antivirus or firewall software during installation really should work. If it does not then there is a driver conflict with something else installed on the computer. Afraid I can't help with that since it would be specific to your particular computer setup with whatever software you have installed.
 
I would point out that the procedure outlined by Sajk is also valid for windows 7 so if all else fails and you are having problems to install on windows 7 you can try to disable driver signing test as he describes. Unfortunately depending on the version of windows and whatever updates the individual user may have installed, the procedure for install of these drivers may vary. Some may even have a problem installing the standard stripped down version provided on that little cd with the product for all the same reasons. If anyone is still having problems they can pm me.

Will try i2s from hdmi with W4S dac2 dsdse.

Yeah I'm still having trouble even on a Windows 8.1 PC.
 
It installed fine on a Windows 7 laptop.
 
Could it be the Texas Instrument USB 3.0 Host Controller Driver for the SOtM USB PCIE card?  That's the only thing different from the Windows 7 laptop.

Yes it is very likely that driver. It is certainly a driver conflict. You could test that theory by going into device manager and temporarily disable SOtM card. Then see if the WaveIO driver set will install. You may still have a problem even if it does with both active. I have no experience with windows 8 so I'm afraid I can't advise further. On windows driver conflicts are no fun at all. You might want to check to see if there is a newer version of the driver for that SOtM  card.

hi prepoman, 
I have win8.1 as well, I faced the same trouble with the driver of my DXIO interface. The trouble was due to driver signature.
I had to restart the computer following this procedure (see link), to force Windows not to check the signature of the driver.
Thus : you restart the PC like explained in the link below, and you should be able to install proprely the driver. Still when you install the driver, Windows will pop up to warn you that the driver signature is not verified, you just have to click that "you don't care about its remarks and YES you want to & will install this bloody driver" and windows will let do it

hope it will work, it should.

Nice! What are you using now? Does the W4S have a USB input?

 

[rurika]

My dac has usb input but it is amanero.
So, I want to try xmos.
