Windows 10: USB Audio Codec - Does not detect audio

OS - Windows 10
Cpu – I7-6800k
Device/Problem – Behringer Mixer “XENYX 1204USB” – Device works perfectly except windows 10 will not detect audio input. Says error migrating USB Audio Codec but successfully installs AudioEndpoint or such before that. I can hear window sounds but my mic input will not play in windows. Mic tested and working.

Driver - 10.0.17763.1 USB Audio Codec (Windows)

Installed ASIO4ALL from manufacturer and no change. Tried every solution/tweak/fix I could think of or find but still no audio input.

Appreciate any help. Has worked fine for my daily streams/videos/Discord etc for 2 years now. Just suddenly nothing after updating PC with latest windows updates.



Cheers,

Jon

USB Audio Codec Driver

After following all these steps, my usb audio device still does not work. In Settings > Connected devices it list USB Audio Codec Driver is unavailable.

 

USB Audio Codec

Eeshwar,

I followed the directions in the link, but I do not have the USB Audio Codec even listed.

 

USB audio CODEC

I have a 5 year old Mackie ProFx8 mixer that uses a USB port for data transfer. When you configure your system, the USB CODEC driver will be used. Anything that hangs off the mixer will be detected like your speakers and mics. Everything goes through the
USB port on the mixer. It acts like an analog to digital USB hub.

You need to disable audio drivers of devices not attached to the mixer to avoid any feedback and potential driver bugs. Many computer motherboards have onboard audio chipsets like VIA or Realtek. You may be using Nvidia
or ATI Radeon graphics cards too. They will install their own HD audio and virtual drivers.

You do not need to use those and should disable them. You want to avoid having anything influencing your audio pipeline.

I started receiving "pops" whenever I left clicked with my mouse on various user interface elements in applications that I was running. It was extremely annoying. You may not have had these before but they start showing up after adding more gear to your
USB mixer and USB ports. After hours of troubleshooting, I disabled all the devices mentioned above. You would think that would work, but it didn't.

To eliminate the problems entirely, uninstall all unused audio drivers.

Go to Device Manager

Click on Audio inputs and outputs

Right click the audio components you do not need

Disable first, then uninstall

Click on Sound, video and game controllers

Right click the audio components you do not need

Disable first, then uninstall

Reboot your computer.

Right click on the speaker icon in the tray

Look at the Playback list and Recording list

You should see devices attached to the USB Audio CODEC listed

Do the same with Device Manager and check that the system did not reinstall the drivers you eliminated
