Any chance that the status for Windows 8 support (or development of Windows 8 software) has changed for this product?  Half my project team have had to go back to their old headsets and the other half have had to look for alternative solutions. Certainly, as a strategic MS partner we can do better.

 

Kind regards.

Ok I might have it working on Win8 x64 without echo.

The installer comprises a diagnostic program, drivers and a wrapper program.

The minimum needed should be just the driver and any specific files required.

On the Win7 install it dropped an INF file in c:\windows\inf. On the one I checked it was called oem111.inf.

The file can be opened in notepad to confirm it was the Polycom driver script. It references a couple of Polycom dll files and I believe the rest required are likely to be Microsoft default ones. Search for PolycomPropPageExt.dll and PolycomAPODll.dll and grab them. These 3 files should hopefully comprise a valid set of drivers. I put them on the desktop of a clean (no attempt at C100S install) and plugged it in. Seems to work on Skype ok. I had another Win8x64 that I had stuffed with the installer. I deleted the device and driver in device manager and used the 3 files to install. It worked and I also had the diagnostic working too.

Has anyone tried the suggest on getting the drivers to work on Windows 8?

 

I tried to follow the instructions, but my Win8 lappy doesn't want to know.

 

I know that it has been stated on here that these devices are now 7 years old ..... but hey, that really isn't that old, and you can still buy them new on Amazon. So if you can buy them new, they really ought to support Windows 8.

 

Is there any news on updating them? I doubt it would take very long at all to create a beta test for us to try out 🙂

 

Thanks,

Brian.

Hello BrianP6,

welcome to the Polycom Community.

As explained already on multiple occasions, there is no current Windows 8 support available or advertised for the C100S.

 

The product is still sold with support for the tested operating systems and Windows 8 is currently not one of them.

 

The software development for this product was made years ago and at present there are no plans, to my knowledge, to start developing a newer driver in order to support Windows 8.

 

I have brought this discussion to the attention of the relevant product manager in addition for the team to make an executive decision.
