Windows 10: I've seen many discussions about USB Class Compliant Audio 2.0 in Windows.

Comments from back in 2016 that it works for rendering only, but not recording. Has this changed?All of the USB 2.0 Audio Interfaces I've looked into still require a vendor driver installation to work, rather than just being "plug in and it works" like the same devices do in the Apple world. Is that being done for extra features or is it necessary for just basic functions? In particular, can I take a Class Compliant USB Audio 2.0 device and record and play 96k/24bit audio in Windows without loading a driver yet?It's not that installing a driver is so hard, but vendors have a bad history of

I've seen many discussions about USB (Class Compliant) Audio 2.0 in Windows.

Comments from back in 2016 that it works for rendering only, but not recording. Has this changed?

It's not that installing a driver is so hard, but vendors have a bad history of no longer providing drivers for new operating systems as they come along.

Thanks

 

USB Audio Class 2 Device Not Recognised

Hi everyone, I am running Windows 10 on the creators update (so it has support for USB Audio Class 2 devices), but for some reason it is saying that it's own driver is not compatible.



It does recognize the device as an audio one, but cannot seem to use it (Screenshot attached). Any suggestions?





The device is an Audio-GD NFB11

 

usb xhci compliant host controller (code 10)


Sorry just seen these replies, and thanks for the help...

I don't think I've changed anything myself, but I believe there were some Windows updates recently, but not for this device according to the events tab... Although I have now turned it on, I didn't have system restore active unfortunately.

USB xHCI Compliant Host Controller PCI\VEN_1912&DEV_0015&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_02\4&256F5A3A&0&00E3 This device cannot start.

Unfortunately class upper filters / lower filters don't show in the list, although there are other similar ones:
