JRiver Media Window Audio Driver for Windows 10

<< < (3/5) > >>

RD James:
Surely if the issue is Secure Boot/HVCI, you wouldn't be able to install the older WDM driver either?

Hendrik:
The restrictions don't apply for drivers signed before a certain date, so they don't break hardware which doesn't get driver updates anylonger.

hvac:
Now with MC24 can't seem to use either method to allow WDM driver to function properly.  MC20 driver worked with MC23 but not with MC24, so I tried recommended disable of BIOS secure boot. This wasn't helpful either. (Boot didn't fit). Can you please suggest an option other than default to MC23/MC20. I can not overstate the importance of having this function in the era of streaming music from the Internet.

JimH:
WDM works.  The problem is probably with either installation or configuration.

Having more than one version installed could complicate things.  You can turn WDM off in Tools > Options > General > Features.

The problem is that the WDM driver does not meet the signing requirements for Windows 10.
Microsoft started to enforce them with the release of the Anniversary Update in 2016, so the WDM driver cannot run on Windows 10 systems with Secure Boot enabled (and Secure Boot is required for other security features to work correctly).
 
Drivers signed with a certificate issued prior to 2015-07-29 - which applies to the old WDM driver that is known to cause BSODs - were granted an exemption, but the fixed (current) WDM driver was signed with a certificate issued after that date, and does not meet the requirements for Windows 10 drivers.
 
For some reason my system had been allowing the driver to continue being updated - which was supposed to only happen if the driver had been installed prior to installing the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, but installing MC24 invalidated that and I can only run the driver from 23.0.80 or earlier now.
