How to install tascam us 122 on window 8

[kitandrew]

I know that drivers for tascam us-122 are not available on windows 8 but is there any way I can install them?

I've worked out the solution to my question:

Download the driver for XP & Vista from Tascam -> right click on Driver application file -> choose Troubleshoot compatibility -> choose Troubleshoot programs -> choose first option "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run now." -> click on Windows Vista option -> test program. It worked.

I found that at the point where I had to choose the previous version of Windows, I tried every one until one worked. In other posts I've read, different computers worked with different options ticked. Mine only worked with Vista.

You just prevented me from spending $250 or near. Thanks bro! soundcloud.com/kabrapdubstep

I tried all the suggestions to get a driver to work for the US-122 on Windows 10 and couldn't get any of them to work on my Dell Laptop. The drivers installation fails and the USB light doesn't light when I plug it into the USB slot. My suggestion is to think hard about a purchase of a US-122 if you are going to install in on a Windows 10 machine.

I had my us-122 for 13 years, still going strong on windows 10 haha

I did each step just as you described. I have an HP desktop running windows 10 and it worked like magic! You MUST follow each step exactly and it WILL work. Got it on my first try on this forum. Now I am gonna try it on my Laptop! Thanks a million! You are a grand wizard of helpful knowledge! Now to start recording! AGAIN< THANKS!!!

This is the step by step that I used to make it work on Windows 10. Make sure the Tascam US-224 or whichever Tascam unit you are using is plugged in via USB cable and turned ON. ->Download the driver for XP & Vista from Tascam -> Unzip folder into your download folder -> Open folder. -> right click on Driver application file -> choose Troubleshoot compatibility -> make sure at this point you select Troubleshoot programs -> choose first option "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run now." -> click on Windows Vista option -> click Test Program and the USB light should come on on your unit. -> Go through installation choosing language and setup. At this point your unit should work! ->Then you may have to adjust your input and outputs on whichever recording software you are using. -> But then it worked perfect. I did this first on my Desktop and immediately following on my laptop and have test recorded on both using my N-Track Studio 8 and it works flawlessly! If it is not working for you, then you are either skipping a step or not following the instructions exactly as described. I promise you if you do, it WILL work! 9/9/2016

It did work out at my Windows 8.1 System too. I took the latest driver for Tascam US 122-L which is the same like the one mentioned by you: http://www.tascam.eu/sw/us-122l/TASCAM_USB2_x64_v202.zip

Hi all
My problem was not solved with ANY "us-122" drivers in ANY compatibility mode.

But what DID actually work was installing the driver :

US-122mkII & US-144mkII Drivers for Windows 7, Vista, XP driver ver 2.03 (64-bit) - 1.76 MB

at the page :

http://tascam.com/product/us-122mkii/downloads/


This is the driver for the model US-122MKII.
As always: Download, unzip, right click the app file called "Setup" and go to "properties" of file.
Then to second tab, the"compatibility" tab.
I checked the box "run as administrator" and also the box "run this program in compatibility mode for".
There I chose Vista, because the file i downloaded (tascam_us_122_144mk2_win64_203) said it was for vista. (Oh..... I have 64b Windows. If you have 32b download the 32b driver instead)


And luckily it works! My friend who has the 144 model also used the equivalent driver.
The system recognizes the card as "us-122" not as mk2, so my guess is that TASCAM obviously made this driver to work for this card as well, but never bothered to state it on their site.....

Hope it helps others
