    USB DAC/ Amp not Working Correctly After Windows Update


    I downloaded the new windows update 2 days ago and since I did my Fiio Q1 Mark 2 hasn't been working right. Windows accepts it as my default device, it works with web browser, discord, and Fortnite but for everything else it doesn't work. I first noticed this trying to run Osu, the games said I had no audio device plugged in, but that didn't make sence as I was talking to my friend through discord when it happened. It seems to be an issue with a bunch of apps I have (basically anything other than what I already said). The only solution I have found is to use the audio jack on the front of my PC (the audio jack on my monitor doesn't seem to work on these apps either).

    Windows 10 problem with USB DAC

    I have a USB DAC (digital-to-analog converter) that allows me to play music through my speakers.

    It has worked fine for a long while but recently it has started to abruptly stop working randomly (over 10 times per day).

    I can get it to work again if I:

    • Unplug the DAC from usb and immediately replug it in.
    • Disable and them immediately enable the device in the windows "playback devices" window.

    I have tried:

    • Uninstalling and reinstalling Nvidia high definition sound drivers
    • Disable USB selective suspend setting (this is a PC not a laptop).
    • Troubleshoot sound problems
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Edit: The device is this one:

    http://epiphany-acoustics.co.uk/products-page/dacs/ehp-o2di-desktop-headphone-amplifierdac-3/

    It is plug and play and I have never installed drivers for it.

    external usb dac

    I would like to know when Windows Phones will support external DACs - to bypass the internal phone DAC so I can use an external DAC.

    Android phones support his and MS needs to start getting ahead and support better music playback.

    USB DAC/ Amp not Working Correctly After Windows Update

    external usb dac

    The question was in regards to USB DACs, not storage devices. USB DACs take the digital audio from the OS and through a DAC chip convert it to an analog signal as a pre-amp out or headphone out. This requires USB host / audio driver. It seems the answer
    is no.
