How To Choose The Correct Audio Driver Version

How To Choose The Correct Audio Driver Version

If your blade is running version 1.x, you will need to contact support to update your blade
software to current, as we no longer have a v1.x compatible driver that will work with a
supported Windows operating system.
For blades running v3.0.xx to v3.6.xx software, you will need to request the following driver
version from our Tech Support department:

WDM driver version 3.4.10
ASIO driver version 3.4.10
For blades running v3.7.0 to 3.7.6 software, you will need this version:
WDM driver version 3.5.5
ASIO driver version 3.5.5
For Blades running v3.7.7 onward (including blade v4.0.xx), here are the versions you can
choose from, based on your Windows version:
WDM driver version 3.6.6 (Windows 7 only!)
ASIO driver version 3.6.6 (Windows 7 only!)
WDM driver version 3.7.8 (Windows 10 and 11)
ASIO driver version 3.7.8 (Windows 10 and 11)
To obtain software, contact support or refer to the web link you received in the packaging with your WheatNet-IP hardware.
