Just submitted the issue from their website. We'll see if they have anything to offer.

I hate that that happened to you. I hope it will be fixed ASAP.

The problem you got there is a corrupt driver. I had the same problem with my MIDI controller. I did the stupid thing though & started editing my registry to try to delete the corrupt key. I ended up bricking my HDD. Good thing all my data's on a different HDD.
Anyway, what you want to do here is download the newest driver and the one just previous to that (in case there's something wrong at the core of the newest one). Then go to device manager, right click your audio & click update driver software. Select browse for my driver software & locate that newest driver you just downloaded. Let the system do its thing, restart & see if that fixes it. If not, the new driver is to blame, so you'll need to repeat the steps above & find the one previous driver that you also downloaded and use it. If that doesn't work, then it's another Windows driver & you'll have to find which one & reinstall it.
I hope that helps. Whatever you do, don't try the regedit option unless you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing. I was absolutely sure & still screwed it up. Oh, and don't forget to back up everything before you try.
Cheers!

Thanks. Unfortunately, ZOOM has only released one version of the Win 8 driver and as with most of ZOOM's drivers, it appears to be crap.
New problem popped up last night...now I can't uninstall the effin' driver. I get a new error mssg about a java script being unable to run. I might just wipe the whole thing and start with a fresh install of Win 8 and try again.

Turns out it was a specific MSI Installer error..one that was unique to Gateway and their OEM Windows build. I was able to install the driver successfully on several other Win 8 machines. So I took the Gateway back and bought a Dell 23" all in one touch screen model...Core i5 quad w/6 gigs of ram (already expanded to 16) and a 1tb drive. Driver installed perfectly and now the beast is alive.

Good to hear! There is much to be said about OEM Windows installs by manufacturers. I have heard people talk about how it does not matter, but this shows that it can be an issue.
Feed that beast!
