Windows 10: Speaker is being detected as a USB drive

Hello people,


So I have this speaker I've been using for quite a while and it kept saying it was being detected as a USB drive. Not sure what this means. In task manager, the "USB drive" speaker is detected and says as 0 MB formatted with absolutely no writing or reading. How do I fix this? I've already tried updating drivers, uninstalling the device, and doesn't work.


The speaker I bought is from a chinese company and from amazon. Not sure if they made something funky in there.

:)

 

Windows 10 does not detect USB speakers

My PC has Windows 10 pro installed (ver 1607 build 14393.1944 32 bit). I had been using USB speakers with the PC and they used to work with some hitch. Now and then windows would not play any sound on the USB speaker, but unplugging the speakers and plugging
in again to the same / different port would normally do the trick. After a long time, I tried plugging in the speakers again but Windows just does not play any sound on them. When I plug in standard headphones on the 3.5mm jack, Windows detects them and also
plays sounds. However it does not detect the speakers plugged in to the USB port. I have tried different ports with the same problem. I am using USB ports for my mouse, keyboard and external hard disk without any problem however the speakers are not detected
by Windows. The speaker icon at the bottom right corner displays the notification "No speakers or headphones are plugged in". Also the sound control panel does not show the USB speakers listed in the audio devices. I have also tried disabling, uninstalling
and updating drivers on the generic USB hub and scanning for hardware changes. Nothing seems to work.

Any help would be appreciated

My Seagate external hard drive is not detected when plugged in to USB port of my laptop using windows 10?

Thanks for your response.

I have tried all the steps provided, however in vain. The external hard drive is not identified at all in any of the the USB ports when connected. The USB ports identify other external Flash drives and devices. However this drive is detected in another laptop
using Windows 7 OS. Please advise further.

Regards
