Zoom H4n Asio Drivers

[Simo]

Hi, I've just brought a Zoom H4n recorder & I'm having trouble installing the ASIO driver, just wondering if anyone can help...

The H4n installs automatically when it's plugged in to a usb port, that works without a problem... the next step is install the asio driver (which I downloaded from Zoom's website) I've followed all the steps carefully, installed the new system version, etc, but when I try and install the asio driver, it get's to the end of the installation process and says it's been unsuccessful I've tried using a different usb port but still no luck...

....any ideas?

Simo, unfortunately, I share in your misfortune. I think my problems are because I'm using Windows 7 64 bit. What operating system are you using?

I'm running Vista 64 bit

Have you tried installing the asio driver without the zoom plugged into the usb port ?

Yes, I've tried installing the asio driver without the Zoom plugged into the USB port. I believe I've limited the problem to an incompatibility with the .inf file (\Program Files\ZOOM\H Series Driver\zmhhpaudio.inf) in either Vista or Vista 64. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. I tried installing the Asio drivers on my desktop running Windows XP and it installed perfectly.

The driver installation program requires the zoom to be connected during the installation, if you don't then it won't finish the installation.

I've run out of options at the moment the main reason I brought it was to record acoustic guitars but without being able to use it as an audio interface it's not much use to me, which is a shame seeing as the recording I've done using the SD card has produced some great results.

Dido. I'm hoping for updated drivers soon. In the meanwhile, I've set my computer up to dual boot with Windows XP - a lot of work, I know, but it was either that or return it.
