The AVerMedia AVerTV Hybrid Volar Max TV Starter Kit lets you use a compatible Windows PC for television viewing with suitable tuner software. Its driver enables Windows to recognize the connected tuner and allows supported applications to communicate with the hardware.

Key Features

• Device recognition: Provides the hardware support needed for Windows to identify the AVerMedia tuner rather than leave it listed as an unknown device.
• TV application connectivity: Allows compatible viewing software to access the tuner for channel scanning, live television, and recording where supported by the application.
• Hybrid tuner support: Enables software to work with the device’s supported television reception modes, depending on the signal source and local broadcast availability.
• Windows-specific setup: Supplies the driver components required for the intended Windows version and system architecture. For Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, confirm that the selected package explicitly supports your configuration.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows configuration. Open your system information to confirm the Windows version and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Verify that the driver package matches the AVerMedia AVerTV Hybrid Volar Max TV Starter Kit and your operating system.

1. Download and prepare the driver. Save the matching AverMedia driver package to an accessible folder. If it is compressed, extract its contents before starting installation. Close any TV-viewing or recording applications.

1. Run the installer. Launch the setup program and approve the administrator prompt if requested. Follow its instructions about when to connect the tuner; some packages require the software to be installed first.

1. Connect the tuner and verify detection. Attach the device to an available USB port and restart Windows if prompted. Open Device Manager to check that the tuner appears without a warning symbol. If no installer is included, use Update driver and browse to the extracted driver folder.

1. Configure your viewing software. Open a compatible TV application, select the tuner, connect an appropriate antenna or signal source, and run a channel scan. Available channels depend on reception conditions and supported broadcast standards.

The driver alone may not include a TV-viewing application. If the tuner is detected but you cannot watch television, check the application’s device selection and signal settings before reinstalling the driver.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Installer fails or stops midway: Run the AVerMedia setup as Administrator and, if needed, in Compatibility Mode for your Windows version. Temporarily disable antivirus, disconnect the Volar Max until setup asks for it, and reboot before retrying.
• Device not detected: Try a different USB 2.0 port directly on the PC, not a hub. In Device Manager, check for unknown/USB tuner entries; uninstall them, replug the Volar Max, and install the AVerMedia driver manually if the setup does not detect it.
• Driver/version conflicts: Uninstall older AVerTV/AVerMedia tuner drivers and remove hidden devices in Device Manager, then reboot. Match the driver to your Windows version and 32/64-bit architecture; avoid mixing Media Center tuner drivers from other devices.
