    DAC / AMP USB-device is ignored by windows 11 after every update


    Hi, my DAC / AMP from ASUS, brand: Xonar essence 3 , always fails to be detected by windows 11 after an update. And it is getting harder and harder to get it to work again. I have of course searched the internet gets loads of other people having the same issue. So first question:what is going on with windows 11 updates and audio devices lately?My problem started about a year ago, i could pretty easy solve it by starting the computer without the device usb plugged into the computer.As time goes by and new updates showed up it got harder, i had to remotely connect to my computer first, plug in t

    Schiit Hel usb DAC not recognized

    I have been having similar issues in Windows 11 with my Hel 2, and while it's not pretty the following has worked for me:

    1. Unplug the USB from the computer and flip the DAC power off
    2. Power the DAC back on and wait a minute
    3. Plug the USB back in

    When that fails (and it does sometimes with symptoms of popping/crackling sounds and audio skipping) SHUT DOWN Windows, don't restart do a full power off, power off the DAC, boot Windows back up then power on the DAC. Really irritating, I am certain it's not an issue with the DAC as it works flawlessly on the same computer/USB port in Ubuntu and it only started happening recently after some update.

    Windows 10 problem with USB DAC

    I have a USB DAC (digital-to-analog converter) that allows me to play music through my speakers.

    It has worked fine for a long while but recently it has started to abruptly stop working randomly (over 10 times per day).

    I can get it to work again if I:

    • Unplug the DAC from usb and immediately replug it in.
    • Disable and them immediately enable the device in the windows "playback devices" window.

    I have tried:

    • Uninstalling and reinstalling Nvidia high definition sound drivers
    • Disable USB selective suspend setting (this is a PC not a laptop).
    • Troubleshoot sound problems
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Edit: The device is this one:

    EHP-O2D Miniature Desktop Headphone Amplifier with USB DAC - Sound Manual

    It is plug and play and I have never installed drivers for it.

    external usb dac

    I would like to know when Windows Phones will support external DACs - to bypass the internal phone DAC so I can use an external DAC.

    Android phones support his and MS needs to start getting ahead and support better music playback.
