USB sound adapter won't work anymore ?
For some reason, my usb sound adapter stopped working on Windows 10.
But the strange thing is that on both Windows 7 and Windows 11 it works just fine.
The sound adapter appears on Device Manager with a yellow exclamation mark. I've tried updating its drivers but Windows won't let it install. I've even tried restoring an old Windows 10 image but the problem still remains. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers for it without success. I've tried checking the ssd for errors and SFC to no avail.
What could be causing this?
I had a recent issue with my keyboard. Long story short, spent 2 weeks fault-finding trying all the usual tricks and solutions uninstalling reinstalling etc etc nothing worked. The yellow warning stayed. much as yours has done. Even logitech tech help was stumped. In the end, the solution was tripped over accidentally. Switch the USB plug to a different socket. Don't know why, don't understand why. But it resolved the issue. Try it.
