USB DAC not recognising

Telecaster · 31 May 2015 at 18:38

This has only started since I did a mobo/CPU/GPU upgrade. Pretty much every time I restart the PC it fails to recognise my DAC, all it takes is a quick unplug/plug back in and it sees it straight away, but it's really &&&&ing annoying having to do that all the time.

It's set as default audio device etc. any ideas?

What dac is it.

You installed all the relevant drivers for mobo and DAC?

As far as I'm aware all drivers and everything are fine, like I say, when you plug it in when the PC is on it recognises it instantly and all is well, it just doesn't recognise it from a cold boot.

It's an XMOS Async 24/384 USB DAC.

upgrade your mobo's firmware (BIOS) to the latest and download and install all the latest mobo drivers from their website.

don't use the drivers on the supplied disc.

if that doesn't work then most likely nothing will apart from a new motherboard or it could be a power saving feature somewhere.

you could buy a USB hub or extender and disconnect it from there and plug it back in if it's an issue getting into the back.

Already on the latest BIOS, and all the drivers came from MSIs site as I don't have an optical drive, so I'm pretty sure it's not that.

I'll check for power saving.
