Phonic Helix 18 Universal - Driver Installation under Windows 8

Phonic Helix 18 Universal

The PHONIC Helix Board 18 Universal is a very interesting mixer and actually the only one for such a price currently available (2013-10) ! The only disadvantage is the missing driver for Windows 8. But it's not really missing ... You just need to know how to install the actual driver !


So do it !

Even if You select "Windows 7 Compatibility Mode" for the Installer EXE file You will get THIS result :





So do more:
- on Your computer log in as Administrator
- right-click on the installer EXE file and select "Execute as Administrator"
- and in the file's properties DO select this "Windows 7 Compatibility Mode"


Phonic Driver Setup works in Windows 7 Compatibility mode,
					executed as Administrator



But pay attention :

I only tried "Samplitude Music Studio 2014".
Other Software Products may still have trouble working with this driver under Windows 8 !

Alternative Products :

If You can get a used one, buy the Alesis MultiMix 16, it's alse been available as USB version. As far as I know it works well too.
