Windows 10 Native USB 2 Driver in Server 2016?

[Darryl R]

Hi Phil,

 

What would it take to make the W10 native USB Audio Class 2.0 Driver available WS 2016 Core?

 

I've sent a few emails to Claudia on this and haven't heard back.

 

Thanks,

Darryl

Hello Darryl

 

i played around with this right after the first appearance of the UAC 2.00 driver in the windows 10 insider preview ring.

 

it is possible to "transplant" that driver into Server 2016 and it did work in its available form. But Microsoft is behind about 10 years, so the driver wasn't ready for prime time.

 

i guess it still isn't and aside from that i'm pretty sure sooner or later MS will put it into server 2016. so there is no effort going on in this direction on our side.

 

very best,

AudioPhil

Understood.

 

Could you send some instructions on how to transplant?  I'll send a private email as well.

 

Thanks,

Darryl

Hi

 

It is not as easy as it might sound. No, i won't write a guide about this sorry.

I didn't think it would be easy, but thanks anyway Phil.

 

PS - frankly I don't even care if I trash my current edition of Windows Server trying, as I'm getting ready to replace the mobo and will loose it anyway.
