SigmaStudio, ADAU1701 and Windows 11 on M2 Mac running Parallels

Hello Zach, 

I also have run into the same problem. Our internal programmers have said there is an issue with supporting the ARM platforms. I also have a personal MAC and changed to an M1 machine running Parallels. One of our customers has actually come up with a solution that I have not had a moment to try. So this request of yours is pushing me to try the solution and see if It works and if I can share it. Give me a little time to get back to you about this. 

You are doing nothing wrong and have tried a lot of creative solutions.

Hey Dave - good to know you've run into the same thing. Looking forward to seeing what you find out. Thanks!

Just following up - any luck DaveThib ?

Hello Zach,

I am fighting with our IT team. Our internal security systems strip the attachment when I try to send it to my personal MAC. Even if I zip the file it will strip it. I really wanted to test this before sending out. I wonder if I can attach it here? 

I will try this. Keep in mind this is NOT a signed driver and not tested by us so it is not official. This is from the community and treat it as such. 

I want to see if I can share it using the forum?

Here is the file. 

cyusb3.zip

If you want to try this give it a shot and let me know if it works. Meanwhile, I will continue to see how I can get it on my machine. If this works then this is how I will do the transfer.

Hello Zach,

Well, I was able to get the file over to my MAC via the forum post but I cannot seem to get Windows to see this as a driver and install it. I go to update the USBi driver and it does not find it even if I point right to the folder it is located in. So perhaps you can help me out here if you know of a way to convince Windows to use it?

Hi Dave,

I was able to download the driver but when I go to update the USBi driver (doing the same thing you did), I was also not able to get Windows to install it/recognize it. I thought by disabling driver signature enforcement might fix it but it doesn't (https://pureinfotech.com/disable-driver-signature-enforcement-windows-11/#:~:text=Click%20on%20Advanced%20options.,Disable%20driver%20signature%20enforcement%20option.)

I'm mainly a Mac user and have searched for how to get Windows to recognize the file as a driver but didn't have any luck. Not sure what else to do.

Hi Dave,

Trying to reply again - my previous reply contained a link to a website that instructs how to disable driver signature enforcement and the reply was flagged for review. No idea how long that will take so just replying again.

I was able to download the driver and also was not able to get it to recognize driver. I've searched quite a bit about how to get Windows to recognize a driver and haven't found anything useful. I'm not entirely sure what else to do. This might be a dead end. Was hoping to not have to buy another computer just to test a board.

Hello Zach,

I will investigate more from my end. Thanks for trying this out. I also need to be able to use my MAC with SigmaStudio so I am fighting with you for a solution to this. 

I am also biting my lip to keep from complaining about the Windos platform. I wish we could come out with a MAC version of SigmaStudio!! But that will not happen...

Hye Dave,

Sounds good! Will likely try a few more things in the next day to see if I can figure out how to make the driver recognized. Will post back here if I encounter any useful information or have any success.

Hey Dave - any updates here since August on getting things working with an M2 Mac running Parallels?
