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.

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.

 

After Windows 10 upgrade IEEE 1394 (firewire) gone

I upgraded my Dell notebook from Windows 7 Pro to 10 Pro. I ran the comparability test before hand. There was no indication that I would lose the Firewire port.

I tried downloading a legacy driver. That did not work. In the Device manager I see "Other Devices - Unknown device" I assume that is the firewire port.

I tried adding it manually too.

Dell - Latitude E5420

I also noticed that the IEEE 1394 is gone in my Windows 10 desktop that was upgraded from Windows 7 as well. My other desktop was a clean install of W 10 and the IEEE 1394 is present - VIA 1394 OHCI.

Please advise. Thanks.
