DN9630 driver problems

Post by streamfuchs »

Hi everybody,

I bought a DN9630 (AES50 to USB converter) very recently to do recordings without my x32 compact mixer but with my S16 stagebox direct within my DAW.

I installed the latest driver (KT-USB 5.12.0) on my desktop computer and everything was doing well.
But when installing that driver on my laptop (a rather old one) the system got unoperabel slow.
I found an older version of the driver (KT-USB 4.36.0) which obviously work on my laptop.

Are there any experiences with problems in compatibility for the actual driver 5.12.0?

Because there are more than 3 years between the release of these two driver versions I am a bit concerned about any issues in 4.36.0
Are there any driver generations in between abailable? I would like to test e.g. 5.0.0. or 4.86.0 but I can not find any recources to download these or any other older versions.

My desktop:

AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor 3.79 GHz
RAM 64,0 GB
Windows 10 Pro 21H1 64bit

My laptop

Intel Core i5-2520M CPU 2.50 GHz
RAM 4,0 GB
Windows 10 Pro 20H2 64 bit

Thanks for any help.

They just released drivers 5.12 and the previous version is 4.36 - there are no versions in between. The reason for the difference is because they changed the drivers development package.

Those other versions listed were probably for specific devices (products). But they were never compiled for other devices (eg. X32, DN9630, etc.). I believe that recently, it was decided to update all device drivers to the latest (5.12). That means that you won't be able to get any of those drivers (between 4.59 and 5.12) for the DN9630, since they were never compiled and released for it.

I see.
So I hope when operating the 4.36.0 there will be no issues.
It is a little bit strange that 5.12.0 works on my desktop but not on my laptop.

Yes I would agree that is odd.Would there be another audio drivers (such as ASIO4ALL) that would impeding the newer drivers?

I recently set up a fresh operation system so I am very shure that there are no other drivers (such as ASIO4ALL) which could cause these problems.
