UMIK-1 not working under Windows 10 64 bit with REW.

Satanica · May 7, 2018

Hi, with REW I get the following error with a UMIK-1 under Windows 10 64 bit on my HTPC.
It appears to me that something else (other software) might be locking the UMIK-1 sound device.
I tried disabling all other sound devices in Device Manager but to no avail.
I then tried a separate PC (laptop) and do not get the error, I even managed to do a little measurement of the lastop's speaker with the UMIK-1.
I'm stumped.

Try unchecking "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" on the Advanced tab of the Audio properties for the UMIK (right click on volume icon, select recording devices, then select the UMIK and properties).

Satanica · May 7, 2018

Hi, thanks for the reply.

After a Google search I did find a couple of other instances of this error so I have already tried your suggestion but to no avail.

I've also tried the latest official version of REW and the latest beta version. I've also tried both 32 and 64 bit versions and versions with and without integrated Java runtime.

Under the UMIK-1 Windows device I can "Listen to this device" and hear my own voice.

John Mulcahy · May 7, 2018

Strange. What is the default format shown as on the UMIK-1 properties Advanced tab?

You could try using ASIO4All and using the ASIO drivers in REW to see if the UMIK can be accessed via ASIO.

Satanica · May 7, 2018

Yes indeed strange. It is set to 24bit/48k and is locked at that i.e. the drop down list is disabled. I think this is expected under Windows for the UMIK-1.

I'll try your suggestion and report back.

Satanica · May 8, 2018

I have managed to get things working with ASIO4ALL.
It's certainly not my preferred choice, but at least we know something is working.
Any suggestions of where to from here?

John Mulcahy · May 8, 2018

Pretty odd behaviour. ASIO4All just wraps the WDM driver, which is what JavaSound also uses. Presume you have restarted the HTPC and there are no other copies of REW or other audio software running? Disabling other sound devices really shouldn't have any effect at all on the UMIK-1, but it would mean that any other application looking for an audio input would end up with the UMIK as the only option. Probably better off not disabling things and setting your onboard audio as the default input device so other applications have something else to access.

Satanica · May 8, 2018

Yes I've restarted and set the input device to default.
I thought ASIO4ALL at least at some stage was a Kernal Streaming wrapper.
I still think there might be some sort of UMIK-1 issue with my HTPC as below is an error I get when I get when I click on any of the options below in the Control Panel. I don't get this error on the laptop.

Thanks again for your effort and patience with this.

John Mulcahy · May 9, 2018

Doesn't look healthy, but I'm afraid I don't know what might cause that.

Did you try to uninstall all older Java versions ?

Hi,
I have the same problem with Windows 10 and Umik-1. This problem is coming with the new version of Windows 10, the april update number 1803.
After many hours To search everything without succes, i am going back To the previous version of Windows 10 and Bingo!
My Umik-1 works fine again with all applications and of course with REW.
Maybe its same for you !
I hope !
Sorry for my poor english.
George

Truthunter · May 13, 2018

I'm having the same issue after W10 updated today. Is the only remedy at this point to revert back to previous W10 version or use ASIO4All?

litolff · May 14, 2018

Hi !
By using this way i thing having a solution :
1- open config panel on windows 10 and type "sound" on the top window :

Clic on the last option "all results"
After open the next window by clicking on the speaker icon

Next, open the record dialog box :

Now click on the down left dialog box "configure" :

Yes its a little bit longer but ...
Now one step more :
Click on the second line by the top :
"configure your microphone"
"Welcome to the voice recognition"
After make your choice for any microphone (any of them)

By clicking on the last icon normaly you can see a green line, victory your microphone is ON !
and is on under REW of course !

Finish !
its no necessary to go further, close all dialog box.

I thing there is one more bug on the new Windows 10 (1803).

Sorry its tooo long ...

Truthunter · May 14, 2018

George, thanks for the above reply.

I tried doing what you posted but when I get to the "Configure Voice Recognition" window, I get an error message when I click on "Configure Microphone". I will post a screen shot of the message later when I get home from work.

It seems that this issue is related to the "Voice recognition" feature that Microsoft added to this latest Windows 10 update (1803). I can't get that feature to work or get any microphones (even the one built in to the laptop) to work.

Here is the message I get when I click on "configure microphone"

BINGO! Works flawless now. Thank you so much!

The mic was recognized after doing the setup steps suggested by Litolff, then uninstalling old java, then switching REW to java and off of ASIO

Jedimindtricc · Jan 2, 2023

I am getting this error. It is my first time setting up my UMIK-1. I have tried everything in this thread to no avail....
I am using windows 7 home premium.

John Mulcahy · Jan 3, 2023

Meaning "Unable to access the selected device"? Which REW version are you running? Are you using Java drivers or ASIO4All?

Jedimindtricc · Jan 3, 2023

Yes it was unable to access the selected device. I am running v5.20.13. And I am using Java drivers

Jedimindtricc · Jan 3, 2023

So weird thing. I setup the mic and started Rew and now it all works. Not sure what happened.

UMIK-1 not working under Windows 10 64 bit with REW.
