BCD3000 and Windows 8 is a no go, so what controllers work?
BCD3000 and Windows 8 is a no go, so what controllers work? Posted on: 26.12.2012 by Jetta Drenzek Just got a new laptop for christmas, and it's adorned with Windows 8. I thought this would be a refreshing change, but it's possibly the worst operating system I've ever used in my life. It's actually offensive to use. And my BCD3000 isn't recognised when I plug it in. I'm about to make a post on Behringer's website but I don't expect they'll be able to fix it, it is after all an out of date controller. Anywhos, I was looking at upgrading to a Novation Twitch soon, and was wondering if anyone here has used one with Windows 8?Just need to point out that I already tried downgrading (Or as I see it, upgrading) to Windows 7 but the HDD is formatted in GPT not MBR so it cannot be done without some seriously risky business, which I'm not overly keen to do on my brand new laptop. On the plus side, I had Traktor open with all 4 decks running with all effects going on them and the load bar didn't even budge! But still, try and avoid windows 8 like the plague. | |

| Jesusa Jenschke 30.08.2013 | Ok, here's my fix: In my Samsung Ativ Book 5 Windows 8 does not recognize the BCD. This is what worked (so far) for me: - Uninstall completly with Revo Uninstaller and clean registry with CCleaner - Download latest drivers from Behringer (1.3.4) - Turn off Wi-fi!!!! - Install drivers, get error message. - Use a powered USB hub and connect the BCD there. It does not load the configuration panel but traktor does recognize the device. hope that helps, CX. |
| Jesusa Jenschke 27.08.2013 | Hi guys! Did anyone get around this problem? or could you be more detailed on the steps you took to solve it? I love my BCD and I would love to be able to use it on Windows 8. thanks! CX. |

| Shirlene Coomey 07.02.2013 | Hope someone here can shed more light on this issue... When I connect my BCD3000 to my Windows 8 laptop it pops up saying "this USB device cannot be recognised". With windows 7 it popped up and installed relevant driver, I have tried all 3 USB slots along with turning my laptop on with BCD3000 turned on and connected. The BCD3000 is shown in device manager as unknown device and I have tried installing the driver through that but no luck there either. I downloaded the 32/64bit driver from the Behringer website and ran in Windows 7 compatability mode, but around the end of the installation process, when the BCD3000 is connected and turned on it asks me to "please connect device and turn on" but it already is! I have tried unplugging an plugging back in but no, still get the same message, I have also not plugged the BCD3000 until the point when it asks me to but exactly the same. I have tried contacting behringer but they haven't got back to me regarding the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jack |

It's working now, BUT ONLY WORK IF I TURN MY BCD3000 ON INTO MY NOTEBOOK BEFORE TURNING THE NOTE ON. So turn on the bcd, conect into the notebook and then turn on the notebook. Try this and sorry for bad english. |

| Jetta Drenzek 29.12.2012 | Solved! Turns out Lenovo haven't bothered to upgrade their USB 3.0 drivers, so whilst they work with most things, the odd one or two things do not. However there is two USB 2.1 ports on the other side, and after a bit of trickery with the driver installation, I got it to work. Good times! However, I'm still planning on getting the Novation Twitch. I can't find anything with it not working with Windows 8, so I'm certain it must work Happy new year folks! |
| Jetta Drenzek 29.12.2012 | I don't know if it's actually windows, it appears to be my laptop saying "device not recognised". It' not broken USB ports because I tried every other USB device I have (So around 2973987982734987) and they all worked flawlessly. I've figured why it won't install windows 7, I was installing from a USB and you have to add another file to allow the USB to boot in UEFI mode. But the majority are saying that they are not experiencing problems with compatability issues in windows 8, so it has to be something I'm doing wrong. harking back to an earlier post, does anyone know if the Twitch works with Windows 8? EDIT: Forgot to mention, the BCD3000 is also working flawlessly with my desktop and my old laptop. |
| Candis Grizzel 28.12.2012 | My BCD3000 worked with no issues after upgrading from win7, but maybe it's missing something on a new install... |
| Elizabet Sledz 27.12.2012 | Try giving the windows 7 drivers a go, alot of hardware drivers have crossed over to Windows 8 without a hitch. http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BCD3000.aspx As for GPT, as long as your Motherboard supports UEFI, and you're installing 64 bit windows 7, there shouldn't be a problem. It's supported. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr.../gg463525.aspx ... Although maybe I'm missing something :P |
| Kellie Myrum 26.12.2012 | Regard to Behringer product page BCD is not compatible with win8... You should definitely submit ticket to their support and see if they got some beta drivers. |
