Windows 10 drivers for XDA-2

[joeesp9]

Are there any updated XDA-2 drivers for Windows 10?

I think they should be native.
What issues are you having?


nevermind. It appears there are win10 drivers on this support page and instructions.

The latest version of Windows 10 ("Creator Edition") finally has UAC2 support built in - so it will work with ANY of our DACs without a driver.
(Note that not everyone has the Creator Edition, and it may not run on all computers, even current ones.)

However, for anyone using one of the previous versions of Windows 10 which still requires a driver....
The XDA-2 works with the same driver as the DC-1 and the USB stream input on the XMC-1 - so you can download either of their Windows 10 drivers and use it.

Thank you for the link. I figured Emotiva had some. I just didn't know where to look. That page has now been bookmarked.

Only one of my laptops has the Creators edition. All my other PC's have either Win10 Pro or Win10 Home.

Those two will eventually get upgraded since the creator's edition is now the standard win 10 image.
Go to windows upgrade to get more information.

One word of warning......

While the Creator's Edition is in fact the latest version of Windows 10, Microsoft warns that it may not work with all hardware (and may not even work with some computers that were shipped with Windows 10 on them). According to Microsoft, they are confirming that the hardware in your particular computer should work with the CE before offering you the upgrade. You CAN manually go to the Update site and request the upgrade even if it isn't offered to you, but they warn that you may experience compatibility issues. (The one I heard about was that it wouldn't work with certain Broadcom wireless network adapters used in many laptop computers. They suggest that "only tech savvy users" download the update manually before it is offered.)

I had one old machine that they offered the update to the Anniversary Edition then, a few days later, offered the Creator's Edition.
(And, yes, it worked fine.)
We can probably assume that it will be offered to more and more people as they test it or confirm that it works with various machine hardware options.

So this means the DC-1 will work with the latest 10 with no drivers? Do you think it would cause a conflict if I were also using a different PCI card for digital output? I would like to do a switching test again. I'm guessing it probably not won't affect things. But just checking.
