Now, this might differ from system to system, so keep that in mind.
But after I had to reinstall Windows 10 and on v9.2, nothing was disabled and it works fine. One was telling me I had to disable the internal Windows sound card, and as I had major problems getting it to work I did. When troubleshooting the setup in the early stages on v 9.1 there was a lot of “good advice" on forums. To be on the safe side, you could run the installer with your UA devices turned off. After the installation or rather during, windows started to recognize the UAD and Apollos and as I wrote in part 1, it prompted me to do a firmware update. I’ve run the installer with my UAD devices turned on and off, and it didn’t matter. This is a must, or your installation won’t work as described in UAD installation procedures.įollow the instructions through the installation, and reboot at the end. Find the installer in your download folder, right click and choose “Run as administrator”. Windows should prompt you to run the installer as an administrator, if it doesn’t you will need to do that manually. The installation should be straight forward, except from one small detail. The Installationĭownload the software from UAD and run the installer.
I’ve made the installation on a clean Windows installation, but if you have plug-ins installed on your system that are used in Pro Tools, update them as well. Also update all your drivers, especially your graphics drivers, network drivers, and if you have any other audio interfaces connected. Run the update manager to get all the updates. You must be running the latest version of Windows 10 64-bit. In the Thunderbolt settings, there are different options depending on what motherboard you are using. I was after all trying to make something work that shouldn’t. At this point I was starting to believe that UAD had changed something in v9.2 that made the system incompatible with UAD and Thunderbolt 1.
How could I write a tutorial if I didn’t know what I had done? The famous BSOD did not stop either and continued appearing from time to time. My biggest problem as I had to report to Mike, was that I didn't know how I did it.
After some troubleshooting, unplugging several peripherals, uninstall, reinstall, changing settings on my system, even changing the display, I managed to install v9.2. My 9.2 installation came up with different problems than I had on v9.1 and crashed almost immediately on installation. Already at the start of the installation things started to go wrong. The installation I had running on my PC was v9.1. UA had just released v9.2 and I found that making the tutorial on v9.2 instead of the already old v9.1 had to be the best choice. When making this tutorial I must be honest and admit I almost gave up. In this second part, I will cover preparing the system, the system settings including BIOS, the correct installation routine, and share a video of the working setup. In part 1 he ended up having to reinstall Windows 10, I will let Knut Richard take up the story.
Although he managed to get it to work the setup was not straight forward and required the right procedure. Community member Knut Richard Vanderloock decided to take on the challenge to see if he could get his older machine with Thunderbolt 1 to work with his UAD hardware, even though it is not supported by UAD.
