Windows 10: Audio troubles

So I've been having this issue for about 2 months now. I have been searching for a solution that doesn't involve a fresh install of windows all over the web, however there are a few very common audio bugs in Win10 which means google only finds results for these common issues.

When I boot up my PC, It takes between 5-15 minutes for windows to recognize my external DAC/Amp combo (Schiit Magni/Modi 2) . I'm not sure at what point the issue started.
I've tried using different USB ports, reinstalling drivers etc.

If anyone knows a fix for this, I'd be very grateful.
