Solved BSOD installing focusrite external Soundcard, ntoskrnl.exe error

[marksome]

Hi There!

I have a new PC from an online Audio-Shop, and have problems when installing my external Soundcard.
The Pc works fine untill i Plug-In the usb cable of the Soundcard.
After i have plugged in the usb Cable windows search for drivers in windows Update and then the pc crashs.

Here is the information from WhoCrashed:

Crash dump directory: C:\Windows\Minidump

This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x75C40)

Bug check description: This indicates that a driver has tried to requested an IRP be completed that is already complete.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time

If you need more infos just Tell me..

Hello marksome.

For a desktop PC, hibernate is not needed .... if it is enabled, disable it.

• http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/819-hibernate-enable-disable.html.

Also disable USB selective Suspend.

• USB Selective Suspend - Turn On or Off

The problems I am seeing here are related to USB mainly.

say, VIA Labs eXtensible Host Controller driver

Try to update it from VIA Labs, Inc. - VIA Labs Collaborates with American Megatrends to Deliver xHCI Compliant UEFI Support for the VL800 USB 3.0 Host Controller.

And, Focusrite USB 2.0 Audio Driver

try to update it from Downloads | Focusrite

Let us know the results.

I have a home recording studio (using Sonar X2). Did you install the Focusrite software first? That is normally the procedure. Install the software and then connect the device.

Also, have you tried a different USB port on the PC? The Focusrite's are USB 2.0 devices. Which Focusrite device do you have? e.g. one of the Scarlett USB devices?

I have basically the same motherboard GAZ77X UD5H.

Hi !
Yeah im going to do the things you said... I let you know when im finished with it...

I have the Focusrite Scarlet 8i6. I installed it first and then connected it to the computer..

Firebred, here the issue is not with the single driver or a single device. A stop 0x44 occurs when two different drivers try to deal with a single IO request packate at once. One successes and the other fails, which causes the BSOD.

So we cannot say that it is anyhow a problem of a single driver or its installation procedure, though it might be said that if one is not there, the problem is expected to not exist.

It is difficult to get the fact out that which one is actually failed..... and driver updates may make the situation better.

Im now downloading the vialabs update for the vl800 host controller... It take amazingly much time to download 66 mbs it will be finished in 1 hour or so .... strange...

 

[fireberd]

Yeah, just throwing out what I've found myself, and from some of the recording forums I visit.

I find Focusrite, generally, to be no problem installing although I have seen some reports of problems getting the Scarlett line to install.

We'll see after he gets the controller drivers reinstalled.

Many times on install failures, I will do a System Restore back to before the first attempt at installing. This gives a "fresh start" and then the device installs. System Restore is my favorite trick and makes me look like "super tech" to my clients.

Hey guys!

I did all the steps you recomended and hoped that it will be better, but there is no change!
All remain the same....
You have any other suggestions?

 

[marksome]

Hey Guys!

Happyli i can now say we have solved the problem!!! Thank you all for your inputs on this!
I reinstalled the driver again, and the driver from the soundcard produced 2 instances of driver setup.
I deleted one in the remove programs section and the i was able to install it without crashing... Man man man ...

Thanks!!
