==[[File:CTRL4.png|40px]] Control 4 Linn DS Driver==
The Control4 drivers do not look for Linn DS/DSM players by their names but for capabilities. That is, searches for UPnP services of the Linn DS/DSM products and adjusts accordingly. <br>

:<b>Kazoo Server can be downloaded from <span class="plainlinks"><u>[https://www.linn.co.uk/uk/support/software-apps Linn.co.uk > Software & Apps]</u></span></b>

This allows new firmware features and new product support <b>WITHOUT</b> the need for any Control4 driver updates.
 
<div class="toccolours">
<b>IMPORTANT NOTICE</b>
:If you are installing Linn Network, DS or Kustom drivers into a system that already contains versions of these drivers older than version 147 you must update all of these existing drivers to the latest version as the connections and internal communication protocols have changed. To do this:
::-	Download the latest online version of the drivers by going to the Search tab, unticking “Local”, finding the driver and then right-clicking and selecting “Download Driver”.
::-	Update each driver by right-clicking on an instance of it in your project hierarchy, selecting “Update Driver” and choosing the driver file you have downloaded.
:If a simple update does not appear to have resulted in a working system, you may need to reinstall the drivers:
::-	Delete all instances of all Linn drivers in your project
::-	Re-install the drivers and their connections. The previous stages are necessary to ensure that you get the latest version of the driver when you do this install; just deleting and re-installing can end up with an older version that has been cached on the Director.

=Setting up the CI Gateway for Control4 use=
{{Setup:CI-Gateway_Configuration}}

<hr>
=Troubleshooting:=
====I cannot get any of the Linn DS/Streamer services to appear in Navigator====
: * The Service will only appear if you have the Linn DS connected to an Audio End-Point. <br>
:If you are using this with a Matrix Switch then the Linn DS MUST be connected to <tt>Audio End-Point 2</tt>
: * After installing the updated drivers, you will need to unbind and then rebind all the audio and video RoomControl connections to get the Streaming service to appear.


====Sometimes my Control4 system operation slows down for a few minutes then works OK====
:This will be due to Control4 processor checking that all expected LInn DS players are alive. If one or more have been powered down or disconnected from the Network the Control4 will periodically interrogate the network for this/these missing Linn DS products.

====In Tidal, I press the "Genres" button and Tidal stops working.====
:You are using an older verison of CI Gateway/Kazoo Server. 
::CI Gateway: Make sure you are using a Linn DS/DSM with Davaar100+ firmware
::Or if you are using Kazoo Server check you are using V4.11.27+


====I cannot control airable and/or Tidal on the Control4 touchpanel ====
:Suspect that you are using Control4 driver V171, you are using an older verison of CI Gateway/Kazoo Server that is not compatible with V171.
::CI Gateway: Make sure you are using a Linn DS/DSM with Davaar100+ firmware
