    fresh PC build, fresh Windows install, and still:

    USB Audio Device Properties

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

{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

    plus crackling in the USB DAC duirng music playback... everything else about the PC is fast and smooth... it makes music unbearable and i realy want to fix it properly instead of guessing. id appreciate a proper explanation of what to check, in what order, id like to learn this rather than just copy random fixes from comment sections.

    if LatencyMon points at the Wi-Fi driver, update it from the vendor or test with Wi-Fi disabled. wireless drivers are a frequent source of DPC spikes. fingers crossed 🤞

    lol same thing happened to me if youre using a USB DAC, plug it into a rear motherboard port directly, not a hub. disable USB selective suspend in the power plan. good luck man!

    nah tbh id be wary of generic disable C-states advice 🤦 It increases idle power and heat; try driver updates first.
