    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:

    EHP-O2D Miniature Desktop Headphone Amplifier with USB DAC - Sound Manual

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

    usb dac not working overnight

    Just bought myself a all-in-one amplifier with usb dac - Audiolab M-One.

    I used the usb dac for the audio output from my pc. Installed the driver from its official website and the dac worked fine.

    Then it happened that the other day it will show "device descriptor request failed" unless you unplug and plug the usb cable then it will work flawlessly. The problem persists when I switch off my pc for few hours.

    My computer config:

    Ryzen 1700

    Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus

    16GB ram

    USB DAC stops working after every Windows Update until I reseat the cable

    USB audio output to external DAC

    I got an old nuc5 next to my new nuc8.

    Ituses Windows 10, same USB cable and same DAC input... it works.

    Of course driver is not the same.
