PCI-424 drivers...64pci-1.6.9.2.zip contains 1.6.8.0?

Post by bressler »

Hi gang,

I downloaded the Vista x64 drivers (64pci-1.6.9.2.zip) and when I installed it appears that the package installs drivers with version 1.6.8.0:

MOTU PCI Audio Driver for x64: 1.6.8.0, 7/13/2009
MOTU PCI GSIF Driver for x64: 1.6.8.0, 7/13/2009
MOTU PCI Wave Driver for x64: 1.6.8.0, 7/13/2009

Is this correct? Because the download page promises 1.6.9.2, 10/20/2009.

Thanks,
Bryan

It looks like the version string displayed in Device Manager is wrong. The version string on the driver files on disk is 1.6.9.2. For instance, go to %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers, and find the file named motuaw.sys. If you look at the file properties, the version string is 1.6.9.2.
The leading cause of wrong answers is asking the wrong questions.

Well that's some relief - thanks 1nputOutput.

But in the end it's bad news. I've got a consistent Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) exiting Cubase 5, that has been reported by myself and others elsewhere, and I was kinda hoping that I didn't have the latest drivers. *sigh*

Thanks,
Bryan
