how sad :[ I would have given it to you. Then I would suggest NOT to update as long as there is no reliable solution :

Scusate se scrivo in italiano.
Io sono riuscito.
Dovete mettere i files in c:\ e non c:\temp.
Disabilitare la scheda audio e tutti i files aperti di Creative.
Aprire con notepad il file emu_driver_fix.ps1 copiare e incollare dentro powershell dopo averlo aperto come amministratore.
A me funziona perfettamente tranne patchMix che devo lanciarlo manualmente perchè non si avvia in automatico.
Grazie ClubHouseKey.
La mia scheda è 1616m PCIe

Here are some instructions:

1. Uninstall any existing EMU drivers and PatchMix versions.
2. Install 2.30 beta drivers (EmuPMX_PCDrv_US_2_30_00_BETA.exe) and reboot.
4. Download XFTI_PCDRV_L11_2_40_0018.exe, then extract it with 7-Zip to a temp folder like C:\temp. Example file structure should look like this: c:\temp\XFTI_PCDRV_L11_2_40_0018\setup.exe
5. Unzip the attached ScriptFiles.zip to c:\temp. You should now have FilesToReplace.csv, EMU_Driver_Fix.ps1, and the XFTI_PCDRV_L11_2_40_0018 folder together in c:\temp.
6. Open an Elevated powershell window and change directory to c:\temp.
7. Run .\EMU_Driver_Fix.ps1 from the Elevated powershell window. The script does 3 things: 1) Disables the EMU card in device manager so we can overwrite some of the driver files. 2) Reads the csv, loops through each entry, and overwrites the necessary files. 3) Re-enables the EMU card in device manager.
8. Install PatchMix 2.20 (EmuPMX_PCApp_US_2_20_00.exe) and reboot.
9. Your card should be fully functional now.

I encourage you to check out the script and csv before running it. If there is any concern about running a script, you can manually replace the files as listed in the csv, however it is 111 files.

My initial discovery of this method happened by a happy accident as I was examining Creative's X-Fi drivers which they fixed for 1903. I noticed many similarities to the EMU drivers, including many leftover references to the EMU products. I force installed the Creative drivers to be used with a virtual device (a Voicemeeter/VBAN virtual soundcard) and after a reboot magically my EMU started working. I came up with the method above after painstakingly examining what exact combination of these files it took to get success as I wanted something repeatable and shareable. I believe in 1903 MS has fixed a flaw, enforced a best practice, or enhanced the audio stack in a way that broke what EMU/Creative had done in the past.

Good luck!
Thank you!! This works for me. E-mu 1820 Windows 1903.

The only thing that I had to do before run the script was (on powershell window):
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
...otherwise the script won't run

Hello, worked for me as well, both for 1820 and for my 1212M, many thanks :-)

oh im using the emu1212m PCI
Hey, I was scratching my head with this for a minute myself, after discovering this wonderful thread. The red lines are due to your system not allowing running scripts for security reasons. Before running it, try typing "Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned" and confirming it. After having run the script, you can reenable the policy by typing "Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted"

hey thx for your reply! Seems like i missed that part or did it wrong (i think i choose the wrong policie or so) and gave up too early. Maybe i give it another try this weekend. Thank you

You need to place the folders properly. When you unpack everything you need in the directory "ScriptFiles" copy the directory "XFTI_PCDRV_L11_2_40_0018". Afterwards, read in the Control Panel, which is the name of the driver. If the names ("E-MU E-DSP") in the script file are not the same then they will not do it properly.

Code: Select all

Get-PnpDevice -FriendlyName "E-MU E-DSP" | Disable-PnpDevice -Confirm:$false -Verbose
$FilesToReplace = Import-Csv $PSScriptRoot\FilesToReplace.csv
ForEach ($FiletoReplace in $FilesToReplace) {
    $SourcePath = $PSScriptRoot + "\" + $FileToReplace.SourceFile
    $DestinationPath = $FileToReplace.DestinationPath
    Copy-Item -Path $SourcePath -Destination $DestinationPath -Force -Confirm:$false -Verbose
}
Get-PnpDevice -FriendlyName "E-MU E-DSP" | Enable-PnpDevice -Confirm:$false -Verbose
You can read about it here
If you need to change the name, you must do the same as me. I suggest that you download the program I set up it is easy to use and the structure of the file does not change, in this case file "EMU_Driver_Fix.ps1"

Post

thx for your explanation. I gave it another try but it didnt work as expected. :?
Could somebody post a screenshot of the folder (-structure), and/or possibly a screenrecording of that powershell procedure? would be really helpful
i attached a screenshot of the device manager. the drivers name corresponds to the one in the script, right? :roll: :roll:

Download the script from my post. Because the script file is fixed to "E-MU E DSP Audio Processor (WDM)".

Download all necessary files as described by member ClubHouseKey. Install the driver as described by the member ClubHouseKey.

The directory setting would be like this.

1. Create a "temp" folder on the hard disk "C:\temp". The ScriptFiles file you downloaded move to "temp" folder which you have previously made.
2. Unpack the file ScriptFiles, right-click on the file ScriptFiles and select the option to "Extract All..." you will get this as shown in the picture.

Image

3. Move file "XFTI_PCDRV_L11_2_40_0018" into the "ScriptFiles" directory. If you do not have the 7z program download it.
4. Right-click on the file "XFTI_PCDRV_L11_2_40_0018" and select the option to 7-zip --> Extract to "XFTI_PCDRV_L11_2_40_0018\" and now you should have this as shown in the picture.

Image

5. Run Windows Power Shell.

Image

6. Now you need to go to the directory "C:\temp\ScriptFiles". Enter the command >Set-Location C:\temp\ScriptFiles< (without ><) enter.
7. Now you need to activate the script file, enter the command >.\EMU_Driver_Fix.ps1< (without ><) enter. Now it should be good if you followed the instructions. Next, follow the instructions that the member described ClubHouseKey.
8. Install PatchMix 2.20 (EmuPMX PCApp US 2 20 00.exe) and reboot.
9. Your card should be fully functional now.

I think I helped you at least a little bit. :wink:

When you started the script file in the PowerShell window, what was written in red letters?
Please read my post.
What is written to you in the Control Panel, which is the driver?
You need to write a bit more about what failed, to see where you made a mistake.

I agree. The main issues seem to be 1) Powershell exection policy, and 2) Making sure the device name written in the script matches what is reported in Device Manager.

If I could do it over again I would have written the script to match any device with E-MU in the name.

@ ClubHouseKey, I followed your instructions and was not successful for the first time. I followed what PowerShell wrote. When I corrected the name of the driver script file it did everything without problems. Now I enjoy my favorite sound card E-MU1616m PCI-e. Thank you for that.

That’s great to hear! Thank you for sharing your updated script and helping others to get their cards working. :hug:
