Re: Windows 7 64bit mLAN WORKS (I HAVE PROOF)
@faithless:
Didn't Microsoft say what works under Vista works in W7? So a 64-bit Vista driver should per definition work in W7.
Interesting news though.

Re: Windows 7 64bit mLAN WORKS (I HAVE PROOF)
It's been awhile since my original post and I have some minor updates to report.
1. I have Windows 7 RTM 64 bit (build 7600) installed on a new drive on my Core 2 Duo 6700 system (same one that I used in my first post).
2. I have installed mLAN on this build with some adjustments:
a. I used the "signed" drivers provided on this thread.
b. I used the F8 option for loading the drivers instead of the downloadable utility.
3. I am able to get really good sound when playing the standalone version of "The Grand 2", but when I try to load "The Grand 2" into the 64 bit version of Cubase 4, there is a huge amount of crackling.
I am experimenting with different settings to see if I can make it worse, or better.
I have sent support requests to Yamaha asking them to build a Windows 7 64bit driver.
I did see a message on the Yamaha website that said they were looking into updating some of their software to be Windows 7 compatible.
I'm not holding my breath at this point.

Re: Windows 7 64bit mLAN WORKS (I HAVE PROOF)
This is amazing stuff...
Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can only install the drivers (even the signed ones) if I disable the signing requirement when I boot up (F8??).
I also have to run the installer and mLAN Manager in Administrator mode.
I'd like to streamline this, but if I don't disable signing, it doesn't work.
Recording and playback on Cubase4 is perfect, no clicks, pops, glitches or anything. Running W7 x64.
Any suggestions?

Re: Windows 7 64bit mLAN WORKS (I HAVE PROOF)
I have eventually got the drivers to load but had (still have) constant problems. For some reason, no matter how many times I uninstalled removed the old drivers form system32\drivers and system32\driverstore, the original drivers would appear again.
Installed the certificate and ran the mlan_ setup
copied the signed drivers to \program files(x86)\mlan tools\vdriver
Set the Mlan Manager to XP compatibility
Now in the system32\drivers search for mlanbus.sys (or any of the other files) and there is nothing
Run mlan and plug in the hardware, it copied the unsigned file to the system32\drivers directory
I manually copied the signed file and rebooted. After starting again the old version was there again. WTF?
Eventual when I got all the signed Drivers in the system32\drivers The mlanstrm.sys and mLANmidi.sys would suddenly revert to their old versions. Despite System monitoring being off!
Ok so with mlan all installed Graphics patch bay is not easy to administer with Aero on, Got it all connected set up with the WDM drivers, (used for broadcasting etc…) and set the sound default device to mlan it worked.
Well for about 5 mins then it crashed. I got a repetitive noise and mlan locked when I tried to reboot, I got a BSoD with a SYSTEM_ACCESS violation
Well, I will keep trying,

Re: Windows 7 64bit mLAN WORKS (I HAVE PROOF)
I installed WindowsXP 64 drivers on Win7-64 with the F8 boot up option. The drivers are somewhat useable. I am able to send audio out to the i88x via ASIO, but not the other way. I noticed that even with the F8 option, the i88x drivers under the "Sound and Gam Controllers" section of Device Manager show up as not installed. Instead, there is a generic Windows driver ksthunk.sys or something.
I sent Yamaha Support an email enquiring about mLan and Widows 7 drivers and here was their response (October 26, 2009):
"--there are no 64 bit mlan drivers availible for win7 .At this point in time further development of mlan drivers, beyond the current availible versions, is not being undertaken. Hope this helps -EB"
I hope they realize that a lot of ppl considering buying the new Yamaha firewire interfaces (816X/816CSX and N8/N12) are going to be put off by the mLan debacle, especially since none of the current products have drivers for Windows 7.
I sent EB a reply suggesting Yamaha release the mLan source code and device drivers as Open Source.

Re: Windows 7 64bit mLAN WORKS (I HAVE PROOF)
It is unacceptable that Yamaha does not commit on updating their mlan drivers to windows 7! A lot of people (including me) use mlan as their main audio transfer to and from the DAW. If we need to buy a new DAW PC, windows 7 may be installed on it... So what can we do then? Throw out the window all mlan hardware we bought or go back to "end-of-life" windows XP/Vista? Yamaha, your comment on this please?
frustrated customer!

Re: Windows 7 64bit mLAN WORKS (I HAVE PROOF)
Hmm somthing is goign very wrong with thiese signed drivers.
Notrhing would work this morning so I uninstalled the drivers and then removed old file version from driverstore and all the Mlan registry entries so effectly I started with a fresh machine. (so I beleive!)
When I start the installed process I coppied the signed drivers to the C:\Program Files (x86)\mLAN\VDriver dir (even gave it a diferent path) and started mlanmanager
The install process coppied the new mlanbus.sys to the system32\drivers directory and then promptly failed with a This driver isnt signed message. Despite looking inside of the file in the drivers dir I see it is signed by a user called mLanUser and then tells me the certificate is Good.
Ok I'm stummped now What am I doing wrong.
G
Update: when I looked under device manager and examined the mlan entry it said driver unsigned!
in the end I used the windows bcdedit, coppied the current config and added a testsign setting So instead of using the F8 the nosigned is now the defaut.
G
BTW: Windows 7! After playing with it for a few weeks.
Windows Media player locks up after 10 mins.
MySQL wont start
SAM refuses to install.
Web Cam wont work (no drivers)
Sony Video camera. No way
Sonar Nope have to upgrade to 8.5 (another £155)
So the Mlan drivers are just one many things that dont work, At least we are nearly there!

In reply to:

This would be the most decent thing to do if Yamaha will not invest in mLAN anymore. I wonder if there are people among us who would be able to (re-)write the mLAN driver for Win7 64 bit. From what I gathered drivers are a peculiar kind of software.
Come on Yamaha, show us you're real pro's and either develop or open source this thing. I'd hate to put my i88x in the bin.
