Fx-audio Dac-X6 drivers fail after 14/01/2024 update
- Jan 17, 2025
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.
KB5050021 seems to be the cause of the issue. Uninstalling the other ones installed in mid Jan 2025 did not fix anything, uninstalling KB5050021 and a reboot did the trick.
