Fx-audio Dac-X6 drivers fail after 14/01/2024 update
I had exact same issue with exact same DAC, I logged in to save you time and headaches. 1 of the below fixed the issue for me, I am not sure which as I did both at the same time,
1. Windows Update > Update History> > Uninstall updates. I uninstalled all 3 available to me, it might be different for you but mine are seen in the screenshot below. I also PAUSED UPDATES FOR 5 WEEKS
2. I downloaded and ran the SFX DAC-X6 audio driver installer from their website found http://www.szfxaudio.com/DownLoad/145840.html.Once you do both the above, reboot and let me know how it goes. You may need to uninstall the device from device manager, then scan for hardware changes. In windows search Device Manager, expand sound, Right click DAC-X6, uninstall, Right-click, scan for hardware changes.
I typed out a reply but it was removed for some reason, I am re-posting without links so hopefully it stays.
1 of the 2 resolutions below worked for me, I did both at the same time so I'm not 100% sure, try both and let me know!.
- Windows Updates> Update History> Uninstall Updates. I removed all 3 available to me, I would uninstall whatever is available to you that was installed in the last week. I also paused updates for 5 weeks.
- Download the DAC driver directly from the the SZFX.com support page. I will past it in a reply to this comment in case that was the reason my comment was removed. Unzip the file, run the setup.
Once done with both, reboot and if the issue continues, try searching DEVICE MANAGER on windows, Expand the SOUND drop down, Right click DAC-X6> Uninstall, Right-click>Scan for hardware changes. Reboot again and good luck!
