Here is my opinion:

Testing if windows 7 drivers will also work on windows 8 is not our work. Even if it would work on first sight, it is not officially released.

It will be when in Line 6 download menu Windows 8 will have its own download selection.

Let's hope it will be soon for Windows 8 now has already been released.

Line 6 is notoriously slow in releasing drivers for new operating systems. I'd like to updrage to Win 8, but I'm waiting for the L6 drivers to get released.

So what's the verdict guys will there be a windows 8 drive update soon?
I've updated to windows 8 64 bit version a couple of days ago, the line 6 gearbox, pod farm and pod farm 2 run really well but, there is no signal from my UX2 recording interface to the computer.
What do i have to do for it to work so I can get back to recording again?

"So what's the difference between Flynn 7 and Flynn 8?....The box..."

Now Windows looks like an xbox... dirver model doesn't seem to have changed...All my WIndows 7 drivers seem to work fine on Windows 8...When the driver model changes, they won't install anymore...At least that is how it has gone before...

preloaded Lenovo laptop...But I have not been running it long enough or using this laptop enough to really know...I am not liking the new shell all that much...I use my Win 7 stinkpad more than anything else...

I've had the latest version of POD Farm and drivers running on Windows 8... I think...  It was several months back, but I don't recall having any audio issues when using my POD Studio UX1.

from my perspective, (and I run an IT department for a software company who has been working on WIndows 8 testing for existing products for a while) it seems that anything that will run on W7 will run on W8, application wise that is.  I know drivers are different, but usually if things have changed enough for drivers to have issues, then usually some apps will have issues too...

I do also have a W8 laptop here next to the W7 workstation I'm currently using to type this.  Maybe when I get some more time later this year I'll run things up and see what happens.

Windows 8 benchmarks show an improvement for me compared to 7. Metro? Just don't use it.

I think Line 6 just need to update the drivers and everything will be cool again.

Line 6 Audio-MIDI Devices - 3.54,

Selected Line 6 Device: Line 6 TonePort UX2

OK someone had to ask..... Might as well be me!

 

Any know issues with the HD range (drivers or software). I am not planning to change to Windows 8 any time soon, but would be interested to know.

 

Also will my KB37, X3L and Variax workbench software still work?

 

Cheers

on the downloads page, if you select any OS, and the software you want, you'll see that the supported OS for some things already included WIndows 8.

Monkey 1.62, the latest version of POD HD edit (for the difference POD HDs), POD Farm 2.55, the drivers for all POD HD's and POD Studio devices, and also the M20d mixer.

There may be more, but I didn't look at anything else.

So much for L6 being slow.... that's quite fast I think.

I did check support for Windows 8 on M-Audio's site (they're usually very fast) and there's no driver for my unosport MIDI interface.  But the Win7 driver seemed to work ok for me when flashing my M13 the other day (it didn't need flashing, but I wanted to test midiOX and the m-audio WIn7 driver on Win8).

I also flashed a POD HD400, 500 and Pro using MOnkey 1.62, and used POD HD edit for those 3 POD HD's all on WIndows 8.  I also used variax workbench on Windows 8, and updated my JTV59.  all worked fone on Win8....
