Windows 10: can't record/input with microphone anymore on USB audio interface... Did 22H2 affect this,...

I usually use a USB audio interface and a good mic for Skype and recording in Pro Tools. I haven't used the input recording mic/interface for about a month, and I wanted to get on Skype tonight. The mic input isn't giving me a signal.I updated the driver and firmware which didn't need updated for the USB interface, I checked "manage sound devices," and the default choice of the USB interface is correct. I went into the other audio settings and everything looks right, except I'm not getting a signal on the "test mic" status. I went into Pro Tools, and it recognizes 6 possible mics from m

Windows 10 recent update affects my USB audio interface to record or play back on recording software

Hi everyone,

Why did the Windows 10 update do something to my USB microphone interface?

I can't record, or even playback once I start to record on music software, which is Reaper. I also tried this on Audacity and same issue.

This is the 2nd time that Windows update has really affected my recording Gigs.

I was recording and doing musical work perfectly before Windows 10 October 2018 Update affected my USB interface, again.

How can I resolve this as my recording software is okay, but Windows seem to have affected my audio or USB connection in some way.

I have also disabled antivirus temporarily and also ensured that I checked to see if the Reaper program is working correctly.

 

Windows 10 recent update affects my USB audio interface to record or play back on recording software

Shame on Microsoft for leaving no response, though their crappy Windows Update was actually the factor that affected my USB ports and sound devices.

I took my computer for repair, and they deleted the recent Windows 10 general update, reset USB ports, reset audio and reboot computer several times. This solved the issue.

Windows 10 1809 update is not good.

 

What is causing the USB Audio Codec/USB Microphone input to mute?

I have a Dell Inspiron N7010 laptop, running the most current version of Windows 10 Ver 1709, OS Build 16299.64, patches are up to date. I am having trouble with recording records from my Numark TTi turntable through a USB port. It worked fine before
replacing the hard drive and installing the software. I have set the recording input volume settings for USB Audio Codec/USB Microphone and turned it on. Set the recording level to 75%. I have set it to default.
When I play a record, after 10 seconds to 2 minutes it mutes and sets the recording level to 0.

Restart EZ Vinyl /Tape Converter (Ion Audio). Start turntable. Records for 30 seconds or less. Input mutes, volume goes to 0.

Right click on speaker icon. Double click on Microphone – USB Audio CODEC.

Select Properties. Levels tab. Unmute speaker, set volume level to 75. Select OK

Microphone – USB Audio CODEC is the Default recording device.

Restart EZ Vinyl /Tape Converter (Ion Audio). Start turntable. Records for 30 seconds or less. Input mutes, volume goes to 0.

Happens without fail.



What is causing the USB Audio Codec/USB Microphone input to mute?



I have the default format set to 1 channel, 16 bit, 44100 Hz.

I have a Lenovo laptop with the same Windows version, works fine.



Windows 10 Version 1709, USB Audio Codec/USB Microphone mutes by itself when receiving a signal.



USB Audio CODEC driver: Microsoft, 9/28/2017 V 10.0.16299.15

Says Best Drivers for that device are installed.



Dell system analysis says all drivers are current.

Dell support assist says all systems are functional.



Microsoft Troubleshooter – Recording Audio

Troubleshooter un-muted the USB Audio CODEC. Did not reset the level above 0.

I reset the level to 75. Started the turntable, mute was back on. Level was at 0.



Uninstalled the driver. Shutdown, restart.

Start EZ Vinyl /Tape Converter (Ion Audio). Start turntable. Records. Then mutes itself.

Generic USB Audio.
