    Hey all, just wondering what major differences are there between "Generic Software Device and Audio Endpoint" in the audio drivers in windows 10? I can't seem to find any actual forums or videos explaining the differences. I'm not having issues just looking for information between the two. Hopefully this doesn't get answered by a canned message lol.

    :)

    3. Find Realtek High Definition Audio
    4. Right click and hit update driver
    5. Browse my computer for driver software
    6. Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
    7. Click Have Disk and hit browse
    8. Click on the Realtek HD Audio mod folder and look for win64
    9. Click on the HDXRT4 and click ok,
    10. Click Next and Yes
    additional if you want dts audio and others, install it now before next step.

    USB Audio Codec Driver

    Hello,

    To help resolve your concern, follow these troubleshooting steps:

    Method1: Check Device Manager

    • Open Start,enter
      Device Manager,and select it from the list of results. Under
      Sound, video, and game controllers,select your sound card, open it, select the
      Driver tab, and select
      Update Driver. If Windows doesn't find a new driver, look for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.
    If that didn't work, try this:

    • Uninstall your audio driver: open Device Manager,
      right-click (or tap and hold) the audio driver, and select
      Uninstall. Restart your device and Windows will attempt to reinstall the driver.
    And if that didn't work, try using the generic audio driver that comes with Windows. Here's how:

    • Open Device Manager,right-click (or tap and hold) your audio driver
      > Update driver software... > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer,select
      High Definition Audio Device,select
      Next,and follow the instructions to install it.
    Method 2: Check the cables and volume

    • Check your speaker and headphone connections for loose cables or the wrong jack.
    • Check your power and volume levels, and try turning all the volume controls up.
    • Some speakers and apps have their own volume controls, and you might have to check them all.
    • Try connecting using a different USB port.
    • And remember that your speakers probably won't work when headphones are plugged in.
    Method 3: Set default device

    If you're connecting to an audio device using USB or HDMI, you might need to set that device as the default.

    • OpenStart,
      enter Sound,
      select it from the list of results, and then, on the Playback
      tab, select a device, then Set Default.
    If your Drivers are up to date, then the problem would be the compatibility of Audio-Technica AT-LP120 to your computer, and not the software. We suggest you to seek assistance with

    Dell support
    for further help.

    Regards.
