Unable to install IEEE 1394 legacy driver on Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Since when are you facing this issue?
   
2. Have you recently made any changes on the device prior to this issue?
   
3. Which version of Windows Operating system is running on your device?
   
4. Is your computer connected to domain network?
   

This issue might be occurring possibly due to below mentioned reasons.

1. It seems like you do not have the IEEE 1394 Host Controller plugged in properly, otherwise Windows would be able to detect it (and show "Unknown Device").
   
2. Windows installed the wrong driver, thus it is appearing in a different name thus you can't use it.
   

What I would suggest is, download the IEEE 1394 Host Controller device from the manufacturer's website, and run the Setup file there. It should replace the wrongly installed driver.

Hope it helps.

After Windows 10 upgrade IEEE 1394 (firewire) gone

Hi!

I have followed the steps above with downloading the KB2970191 driver.

After that I right clicked and choose install on the Leagacy driver inf file.

I then open the device manager in the control panel to find the IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers.

But nothing has happened. The driver is not there, and it does not even mention IEEE 1394.

I have restarted my computer but still nothing has changed.

I have windows 10 home and I'm trying to get my Focusrite soundcard to work.

What should I do?

 

Is Firewire IEEE 1394 still supported by Windows 10 ?

My old Sony DCR-TRV460 camcorder worked when connecting a Firewire (ieee 1394) cable onto my old HP Pavilion media center M8417C computer, which has a 6-pin 1394 port (probably 1394A) at the front and at the back of the computer and Win10 has built-in Firewire drivers for them.

btw, the IEEE 1394 chipset used on the HP computer is "LSI 1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller" listed in Device Manager

be sure to buy the proper IEEE 1394 cable and the PCI/PCIe 1394 expansion card for PCs/boards that don't have a 1394 connector & ports.
