    ok weird one okay, this ones weird. USB DAC plugged into a front USB port, and Device Manager shows smth like an unknown USB device.

    USB Audio Device Properties

    USB Audio Device Properties
Device status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

    the Gigabyte update was installed yesterday... i'd love to understand how USB audio actually gets its driver, because right now i'm just plugging and unplugging hoping for magic.. 😅 it worked for months without any trouble, so something definately changed, i'm happy to dig into Device Manager or logs if someone explains what i'm looking for. pls help 🙏

    does it work directly in a rear USB port without the hub or dock?

    Most USB headsets use the built-in Windows USB Audio Class driver, not a vendor one. Check Device Manager > Universal Serial Bus controllers and Sound, video and game controllers. An Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) means it failed before any audio driver loaded: try a rear port directly on the motherboard first.

    at this point my GPU cost more than my car lol

    been there man if the headset uses a companion app with its own driver, reinstall that apps latest version from the makers support page 😂 A mismatch between the apps driver and a newer Windows audio stack can block detection.
