SOLVED FYI Win 8.1 seems to break Cakewalk/Roland UAG-1 audio interface

SOLVED
I followed the advice of SonarBassMan (see below)to copy a line in the RDIF1098.inf file into the next entry BUT I could not get the laptop to start in Debug mode (choice #1 from the Advanced startup menu) Instead I used option #7 which is "Disable driver signature enforcement"
 
I then installed the UA-1g driver and I now am back to using ASIO w latency in Cakewalk X3b!
 
FYI I have a Cakewalk/Roland UAG-1  audio interface on my laptop and just installed Win 8.1
After install the interface is no longer seen by the OS
I've uninstalled/reinstalled the only driver version available from Roland and the interface is still not seen
Device Manager shows the usual exclamation point with a problem install.
Roland Product support is only open M-W-F so I will contact them tomorrow
 
 
Question If I have to get a new audio interface any recommendations?
All I need on this laptop is an audio output with ASIO
 
Thanks,
Fred

This is common with Roland Interfaces...
 
About a month ago I posted a thread about it, specifically my Roland UA-55 Quad Capture...
Although the 8.1 Preview and Beta have been around for quite awhile...Roland never 
releases a drive before the OS is released...

Using the 8.1 preview my QC no longer existed....nothing helped...it was just gone...
I'm currently waiting on updated drivers from Roland before I update.
I have the 8.1 preview on a different hard drive, so was well aware of this...and 
went back to 8.0

If I get a new machine I may make the switch to Win8, but my audio interface is antiquated and I felt I got lucky that M-Audio updated the drivers for it (and I cannot envision a touchscreen will enhance my usage). I absolutely love having an audio interface and MIDI controller in one... and cannot find a newer replacement for it yet. Every time I ask music stores about an audio interface with a MIDI controller they all say "I have never heard of such a thing"

SonarBassMan,
Here's a partial listing of the .inf file. Are you referencing the line I highlighted?

Eh. You know that there is a Windows 8.1 driver released for UA-1G ...

Find it, and all other Roland-drivers here:
