seems to be an issue with VIA firewire, confirmed. I tried a LSI firewire card and firebox worked!

run driver in Win 7 compatibility mode, with run as Admin selected. tested with Studio one 3 Pro, confirmed. tested with media player, using MP4, MP3, Flac, Wave, confirmed.

Test system is Intel dual core Quad Q9450 running Windows 10 Pro 64

Hi,

Can't get Firebox driver to install on Win 10, just get a list of devices which work with Win 10. Blue light on but can't select Firebox as it's not showing in sound card option, so no audio. Help!

Sorry, not going to happen. The Firebox has been discontinued for a looonnng time. It is no longer supported by Presonus. However, as has already been mentioned the Firebox driver can be installed on Win10 in compatibility mode. I've had a Firebox, Inspire & Firepod all working on Win10....but that OS is not officially supported for any of those devices. It may be that your firewire chipset is not compatible.....here is a list of compatible firewire devices:

All that being said......we can help you better now and in the future with a bit more info......if you will post your system specs in your signature, (see my sig), we will be better able to troubleshoot your problems. Without knowing what type of pc you're running, what OS you're using, what DAW etc....we often can't recommend a "simple fix"
