Windows 10: USB audio inteface Line In Properties - Listen to This Device stopped working after 21H1 update

This issues happens every time a major Windows update is completed on my computer. But this time I can't get it to work. I use an USB audio interface made by Novation - Audiohub 2x4 to listen to my albums from my turntables. I listen to my music mainly on Foobar 2000 through my Schiit Modi DAC to my Schiit Magni headphone amp. Normally I've been able to go into the Sound>Recording and right-click on Properties and then select the Listen tab to Check Mark the "Listen to this device" and be able to listen to my albums through my USB interface through my computer's music system Schiit Modi an

Listen this this device, intermittently stops working

I have line in audio going through my sound card which i listen to via the "Listen to this device" function in the audio properties.

Intermittently the audio stops playing and i have to mute the source in the volume mixer and then un mute to get it working again, this happens at seemingly random times, sometimes a few seconds after i have muted and un muted to get audio back and sometimes
10-20 minutes later but it always happens eventually.

I have confirmed that the audio is still playing and the line in is still receiving and playing audio but is not being transmitted by my chosen audio out device.

I have confirmed this with on board optical audio, a USB headset and a speakers plugged into an external sound card, the problem persists on all devices.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Line In - Not able to "Listen to this device" as intended.

An explanation of my setup:

My PC is connected to 2 audio outputs. One being my stereo speakers, and the other being my headphones.

My headphones, however, are connected to one of my monitors that has audio output.

My TV is connected to my PC's line-in port.

I used to use all three of these devices in conjunction with no issues. I'd simply switch audio sources (Speakers to Headphones, vise versa) and the line-in would go with it. However, I'm finding that the "Listen to this device" option doesn't work anymore.

The weird thing is, if I go through my speaker's properties and turn the Line-in port all the way up, I hear my TV's audio through my stereo speakers just fine. There aren't any signs of audio signal when viewing "Line-In" in the recording tab though, even
when it is audibly playing. I can only listen to it through my stereo speakers this way.

In no way am I currently able to listen to my TV's audio through my headphones.

I've eliminated certain possibilities.

It is not hardware related. All other audio works with headphones connected to PC. Line-in cable works as I can hear it after turning it up in the Speaker's properties, but not when clicking "Listen to this device".

It has to be software related.

Does anyone have any idea what to do?

I've checked the drivers, I've force reset the Windows Audio service, twice. I've done just about everything which any support forum or video suggested.

I can usually get around this sort of thing, but I'm stumped.

I am trying to avoid doing a clean OS install on this PC. I've had to do it 2 times within the past month due to an unrelated issue.

I'm unsure as if it stopped working after one of these resets.

Any help is appreciated!

 

WinTV-1800 Pass through Audio?

let me look up that model of the card and see what i can find out.

edit: their site really sux... no real information about the hardware. If I found the right one, your's has two RCA connectors near the bottom of the card. I'm guessing this is the Line-In feature for this card.

this is the best I can think of... (assuming windows 7 properly detects the hardware's line in)

Step One: Plug in the audio from the PS3 to the RCA on the tuner
Step Two: Right click the speaker icon near the clock on the start menu and select "Recording Devices"
Step Three: Look for anything listed that relates to your TV tuner's Line-In, make sure it is enabled. When it says its "Ready" right click on it and select "Properties"
Step Four: Click the "Listen" tab
Step Five: place a check in "Listen to this device" and in the dropdown menu under that select your speakers for the playback.
Step six: Play a game and test the audio... If its working Enjoy!
Optional step... go back to step three, when the properties box comes up click the "Levels" tab. Here you can adjust the input volume of the device

Hope this helps, and that it lets you do so

edit: should you decide to get an adapter for the rca, these steps are pretty much the same for the line in on your sound card.
