I'll wait a while to see if MS updates the driver again, and if not will invest in a new sound card.īy the way, WIndows 10 recovery via Restore Point doesn't work very cleanly - it reported that it was unsuccessful when I went back to old restore point (tried two different ones), but then it booted OK anyway (whew!). Developers really need to look into this and are welcome to contact me if I can help test or provide As I mentioned before, that driver works except for the lack of a zero latency mode and the problem with no automatic switch to headphones. I had also loaded the latest VIA HD Audio driver from Microsoft (twice). Having alreadyĬrashed Windows 10 with alternate drivers twice (took all day to recover), I elected not to try to load it since it was giving the compatibility warning. The High Definition Driver pops up a panel that says it's not compatible (I'm guessing it is because my processor is AMD). Thanks, Ruth, for trying to help, but I have already tried those suggestions already and they didn't work for me. Image below is a screen shot edited to illustrate the issue regarding lack of playback controls: There is another problem that is not a killer but is quite an annoyance: The driver doesn't seem to support detection of when headphones are plugged in (i.e., it no longer automatically switches audio to headphones when they are plugged in - you have toĭo it manually in Playback Devices settings.)

This problem has killed my ability to record. I already know about turning on "Listen to this device" in Recordingĭevices, but that has a processing latency delay that is far too distracting to a singer or instrumentalist listening through headphones. I hope Microsoft will give this urgent attention as this issue prevents record monitoring. I've tried every setting I can find but best I can tell, this is an issue with the driver.

Windows 7 worked OK but this is broken in Windows 10. Direct feed used to be there in old drivers, but old drivers crash Windows 10 (learned that the hard way). Not possible without these direct volume controls. This is a big problem for people who do recording because direct (zero latency) monitoring is There is only one volume control present - "Speakers".
