The sound card E-MU 1616m does not work with the new update

Hi Freddie, Thank you so much for your guide. I have only recently upgraded to Win10 x64 Pro 1909 build from Win7 and I have found your sets of instructions invaluable in getting my E-MU 1616m pci-e card and dock working again. Much appreciated. All appears to be working with asio and wave inputs and asio output. However, I have noticed reduced functionality in the driver(?) after migration to Win10. When I go to control panel, sound, e-mu speaker properties, advanced tab I can no longer select an 88.2khz sampling rate - which is much missed as my favoured setting across many applications. Now I have had to resort to setting 96khz in the advanced tab and in the Patchmix mixer application in order to get sound out from the card across many applications without constantly having to adjust the session in the Patchmix mixer application. Might you be able to advise on how to recover 88.2 sampling rate? Is a further fix required?

Best wishes, Chris

E-MU 1212m/1616m - Complete Install Guide for Windows 10 (1903)

This is a complete guide to setting up the E-MU 1212m/1616m audio interface on Windows 10 version 1903x64 and above.

It will work for both PCI and PCI-Express and should work with the E-MU 1820/1820m/0404 audio interfaces too but you may need to rename the 2 instances of your device name in the EMU_Driver_Fix script file.

Huge thank you to ClubHouseKey and Martin, Producer at Sherwood Sound Studios whose information saved us and give us compatibility with Windows 10x64 1903. The E-MU 1616m PCI-Express is the audio interface I have and I will never get rid of it unless there is absolutely no way to keep using it. Amazing piece of hardware! If any new updates are posted in this thread then this first post will be edited accordingly.

E-MU 1212m/1616m - Complete Install Guide for Windows 10 (1903 & Above)

*Please perform each task in the exact order listed.*

1.  Remove all current E-MU Drivers and PatchMix software.

2.  Download the E-MU_Windows_10_Install.zip file from   https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ar-KCv7xikVOh23zeXTESuD8k2ih.

3.  Extract the zip file to a folder on your main Windows 10 drive and call it---> "temp". (C:\temp

4.  Install the EmuPMX_PCDrv_US_2_30_00_BETA drivers

5.  RESTART INTO SAFE MODE by holding the shift key when clicking on Restart.

6.  Choose Troubleshoot, Advanced Options, Start-up Settings and click Restart. You will later be prompt with safe mode restart option. Select option 4 in Safe mode.

7.  Once in safe mode right-click on the start button and open Windows PowerShell (Admin).

8.  Type into the PowerShell window --> "cd c:/temp/EMU_Driver_Fix"   or you can right click with your mouse to run the script run with help of Windows PowerShell (Admin).     

*Note: On some systems Windows 10 1903 has another security layer even in safemode that forbidd you to run unkown scripts and code. You get then a confrimation message if its okay to run the selected script "EMU_Driver_Fix".  Select "yes" and then the script will finally run for you.  

This a modified version of Cl ubHouseKey's script. This will replace our windows files with the new updated files.

*Note: Performing this step in a normal Windows environment will either cause the script to not run at all due to script settings within Windows or some files will not get overwritten because they're in use.

9.  Restart Windows as normally and then install the EmuPMX_PCApp_US_2_20_00 PatchMix Software.

You should now have successfully installed your E-MU Audio Interface and everything will and should work as normal.

Extra ASIOx64 driver

10.  If you plan to use the ASIO x64bit driver in a x64bit DAWs like Cubase Pro 10, Studio One, Pro Tools, Sonar and other x64 environments.

Click on "Start" and type "regedit" in the search bar and click on "Registry Editor" to run it.

11.  Go to    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run 

12.  Right-click "AsioThk32Reg" and choose Modify.

13.  Change "CTASIO.DLL" to "CTASIO64.DLL."

I hope this guide helps everyone that wants to keep their 1212m/1616m running in Windows 10 1903.

Big thanks to ClubHouseKey and Martin, Producer at Sherwood Sound Studio that found this solution for us all.

Hi I try to rename the folder but cant place the : ? What do you rename it cheers J

Dear Freddie, my name is Ronald Meelhuijsen and last week I got the upgrade from Window 10 ver 11803 to 1903.

EMU soundcard 0404 stopped working.

I followed your advice and all worked well till the point of installing the EMU_Driver__Fix, Policy no authorization.

I was not asked for authorizing the installation,also not behind the powershell screen. What should I do in order to get the dialogform

for yes or no authorization and confirm the yes?

Thanks anyway for your advise.

Hi Ronald

It doesn’t matter if you not are asked for authorizing, extra security layer for unknown scripts. Then the script supposed to run thru anyway as long you are in windows safe mode. If you aren’t in windows safe mode, the script can’t run thru proper and replace all the files that needs to be replace in order to make the driver work in Windows 10 1903.

If your soundcard and drivers still doesn’t work try my “new guide” and see if that work out for you.

Best regards

Freddie
