Unable to Install FLOW 8 USB Audio Driver on Windows 11 in Parallels (MacBook Pro M1 Pro)

Hello,

I am trying to use my Behringer FLOW 8 mixer with Windows 11 running in Parallels Desktop on my MacBook Pro M1 Pro. I downloaded the latest USB audio driver (v5.12.0) from the Behringer website. However, when I attempt to install the driver, I receive the following error:

The code integrity check for 'flow-usb_audio.sys' has failed because the file has no digital signature or is not a loadable driver.

My system configuration is as follows:

  • MacBook Pro M1 Pro running macOS Ventura

  • Parallels Desktop with Windows 11 (latest version)

  • Behringer FLOW 8 mixer

  • LiveStudio app for TikTok streaming

I have tried the following steps without success:

  1. Verified that the driver was downloaded from the official Behringer website.

  2. Temporarily disabled driver signature enforcement in Windows 11 to bypass the error.

  3. Checked for Windows updates to ensure compatibility.

  4. Attempted to install the driver in compatibility mode for older versions of Windows.

It appears the driver might not be digitally signed or compatible with ARM-based Windows systems, which Parallels uses on Apple Silicon Macs.

Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue? Is there an updated or compatible driver available for my setup?

Thank you for your support!
