Accepted solution by Paula — oh ive been there lol from PowerShell you can list every device with a problem and its ID in one go: [code] good luck man!
  1. just did a clean install on my fresh Windows install and everything works except one entry in Device Manager:

    USB Audio Device Properties

    USB Audio Device Properties
    Device status:
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    
    {Operation Failed}
    The requested operation was unsuccessful.
    

    'Base System Device', Code 28, 'The drivers for this device are not installed.' Windows Update finds nothing... i don't even know what this device does... can someone help me identify teh right driver? i'd rather not install radnom driver packs from sketchy sites, is there a clean way to find out what this device actually is and where the official driver lives?

  2. oh ive been there lol get the hardware ID: Device Manager > right-click the device > Properties > Details > Hardware Ids. The VEN_xxxx part is teh vendor and DEV_xxxx is teh device. That pair identifies the chip precisely. good luck man!
