  3. Installing old Windows 7 Microsoft generic USB Audio drivers on Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. I’ll certainly help you with this.

    This issue may occur due to outdated drivers. Let's try the following methods and check.

    Method 1: Run Recording Audio Troubleshooter

    This troubleshooter is an automated Windows 10 inbuilt tool which finds and fixes the common issues with the recording audio devices and its settings. Perform these steps to run this tool and check if that helps.

    • Press “Windows Logo and type “Troubleshooting” in the search bar and press “Enter”.
    • In the “Troubleshooting” window, click on “View All” on the left pane.
    • Click on “Recording Audio”.
    • Click on “Advanced” and then click on “Run as Administrator”.
    • Click “Next” and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.

    If this does not help, then let’s try updating the sound card drivers and check if that resolves the issue.

    Method 2:
    Update the Sound Card Drivers.

    Step 1: Check the Windows updates for any latest driver updates.

    • Press Windows key and type
      Check for updates
      .
    • Click on Check for updates.
    • Install the available updates.

    Step 2: Try updating the drivers from the Device Manager.

    • Press “Windows Logo” + “X” keys on the keyboard.
    • Click on “Device Manager”.
    • Search for the Sound Card from the device list and right click on it and select “Update Driver Software”.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions and complete the installation of the latest driver.
    • If no driver updates are available, you may also search for the updated sound card drivers in the “Drivers” and “DriverStore” folders in the location “C:/Windows/System32” by selecting the option “Browse my computer for
      Driver Software”.

    Hope this will help you. Keep us posted with the status of the issue to assist you further.

    Thank you.
