My device has not been properly installed - what should I do?

After connecting a new PreSonus device to your computer, the system should automatically install the PreSonus FireStudio Project Universal Control / Driver 1.5.3 / 3.5.6 for Mac OS driver. If this has not happened, you should take the following steps:
1. Check if the automatic update is enabled
It is the automatic update feature that is responsible for the installation of the Sound Card PreSonus drivers on your computer. If the 'UPDATE' feature was disabled, the PreSonus FireStudio Project Universal Control / Driver 1.5.3 / 3.5.6 for Mac OS driver could not be installed.
It is worth noting that in order for the automatic update to work, the computer must be connected to the Internet (perhaps when connecting the PreSonus device the computer temporarily did not have the Internet connection or a WiFi signal was weak making it impossible to download the PreSonus FireStudio Project Universal Control / Driver 1.5.3 / 3.5.6 for Mac OS driver). To make sure, disconnect now and reconnect the PreSonus device again, and maybe this time the driver will be downloaded.
2. Install the driver manually
This solution may seem more complicated - but it is nothing further from the truth. Just download the PreSonus FireStudio Project Universal Control / Driver 1.5.3 / 3.5.6 for Mac OS driver and start the installation (keeping in mind that the PreSonus device must be at the same time connected to the computer). After the installation of the PreSonus FireStudio Project Universal Control / Driver 1.5.3 / 3.5.6 for Mac OS driver, the device should work properly.

The update of the PreSonus device driver which is not working properly

It is very important that the PreSonus devices connected to your computer had their current drivers installed. Without current PreSonus FireStudio Project Universal Control / Driver 1.5.3 / 3.5.6 for Mac OS drivers there is a greater risk of the device malfunction, of the reduction in security, and there is a possibility of the total damage of the PreSonus device. Manufacturers from time to time issue new versions of the PreSonus FireStudio Project Universal Control / Driver 1.5.3 / 3.5.6 for Mac OS software, repairing the errors they find that may cause problems with the PreSonus devices. Therefore, if you notice that a new version of the PreSonus FireStudio Project Universal Control / Driver 1.5.3 / 3.5.6 for Mac OS driver is available, you should install it immediately.

Hello,
I build a new PC and now having problems to get firestudio project working (worked flawlessly on my previous machine).
Now: Solid red Sync-LED, Universal control (1.72) shows Driver Version 0.0.0.0 - 5486
Here are some facts:
Mainboard: Supermicro C7X99, Socet 2011-3
CPU/RAM: i7-5820K / 16GB DDR4
Firewire Card: Dawicontrol DC-1394 PCIe in PCIe X1 Slot
Win7 Pro 64bit
OHCI Info says: Compatible, no known issues.
FW-Card ist shown as working in device manager.
I tryed reinstalling Universal Control, Changing FW driver to legacy, placing PCIe Card in a different Slot. All stays the same
Has anyone an idea what else to try or what could cause the problem? Compatibility Problems with LGA 2011-3 platform???
I would be very thankful for every hint.
Cheers

Have you tried to shift your Clock source from Master to SPdif and back again in the UC that worked for me at one point. Not sure it will help you with no blue and red flashing on the LED. Also try a different cable if not working ?

Same issues but with Latest iMac and latest OS. In talked with support telling me to uninstall a bunch of stuff manually. Did that and re-installed new drivers. Not seeing the hardware though.

I'm experiencing the same issue. The FSP worked on my old MacBook, but will not connect on my new windows 10 build. The first firewire card I tried was an Iocrest SI-PEX30017. I had suspicions that it was not the right card, so I picked up a Siig NN-E20012-S2. The first card showed in the device manager as present, but the FSP would not sync, and would go from red to blue to red when powered on, with UC version reading all zeroes. The Siig does all the same, except that now when the FSP is powered on, it also shows in the device manager, but has a yellow exclamation mark on it. Tried a, 'update driver' on it via the device manager with no change.
Also trying to find the solution for the serial port drivers. Mobo chipset driver update had no effect on this.
Support ticket tech sent me links to the next steps to try.
I've uninstalled Universal Control, the current version, and all files as directed by Presonus, here:
http://support.presonus.com/entries/113 .. t-Windows-,
Reinstalling them and rebooting had zero effect.
FP still won't connect.
Then tried changing the IEEE 1394 drivers to the legacy drivers, as directed by Presonus, here:
http://answers.presonus.com/488/switchi .. -windows-7
Being that Windows 10 does not include those Legacy drivers, I had to download them from Microsoft from here;
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2970191
Nothing. FP still won't connect.
I'll give the Older version of Universal Control a shot tonight, but I have to say, this is really souring me towards this hardware. Why, in 2016, is this stuff so damn hard to get woking? I build custom game rigs, and it's been a LONG time, I'm talking XP/dos days, since I've had to work so hard to get something to just work.
Seriously frustrated with this thing.
Rant aside, I appreciate the assistance here. I'll follow up with results this eve.

Ok, so I got it going.
For Windows 10, version 10.0.10586 Build 10586, I uninstalled Universal Control 1.7.4 and Studio One v3, restarting after each uninstall, as well as everything in the presonus folder in the %appdata% folder after Universal Control and Studio One had been removed.
See links in my previous comment for removal instructions if needed.
I installed Universal control 1.7.2 Legacy, and rebooted. Before installing Studio one, I turned on the Fire Studio Project. It immediately turned on blue, but began blinking in a series of red/blue, six times, with a brief pause, then restarting the series again. Presunus support had suggested I try the legacy IEEE 1394 drivers, which is what was installed at this point.
Powering down the FSP, and going to the device manager, I installed the Texas Instruments IEEE 1394 drivers that came with the card. and powered the FSP back on.
That did it.
Installed Studio One and all is golden
It's up.
S, For this build of windows 10, at least, Universal Control 1.7.2 Legacy drivers and the Stock firewire card drivers are what work. Hopefully this helps someone else.
Best,
A
