USB Speakers Not Recognizing/Referred to as "Steam Streaming" Devices Following Potential Update
My USB speakers are suddenly not being recognized, and instead are being referred to as "Steam Streaming Speakers/Microphone" in the sound settings. I've tried pretty much everything I can think of, including:
- Disabling the speakers in settings
- Unplugging/plugging in Speakers (lights/speaker "pop" occurs, but no sound comes from them)
- Checking BIOS to make sure Audio Controller was enabled
- Disabling/uninstalling drivers in Device Manager then restarting
- Uninstalling device drivers in Device Manager then restarting
I've found no fix so far and the most likely option seems to just be it's some weird thing that happened when either Steam or Windows updated. The drivers remain missing whenever I restart my computer, and plugging them/unplugging them gets no recognition whatsoever from the PC. Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen. Dunno if this has anything to do with a Windows Insider update tbqh (as I am in the Insider program and did just received an update for it two nights ago), but it's the only thing I can think of because I updated last night before going to bed and this issue only began today.
