    USB Microphone


    On plugging in my USB Microphone it shows the error

    DEVICE DESCRIPTOR REQUEST FAILED

    There is no option to rollback any drivers, I have tried searching for drivers online. It used to work perfectly about a week ago.

    I have tried two different other computers and the mic works on them.
