Topic: DAC stopped working with Win 11 update

[georgeh]

DAC D1 audioengine. I've read online that a win 11 update may be the cause to my D1 stop working, it worked fine then stopped working. I rolled back the win 11 update to a previous version, but it still doesn't work. I get loud squelch from speakers when the rca cable is attached. I purchased a new D1, same.
I have also used 3 different usb ports, one one computer, Dell Inspiron 16, 2 multiport
Any suggestions? I order another brand DAC, waiting to get it and see if it works

My D1 audioengine stopped working too, with Windows 10.  I switched to a Focusrite Scarlett and it works fine.

Some people suggest that connecting the D1 through a USB 2.0 hub solves the issue. Some had success with a powered hubs, some with non-powered hubs. I'd guess most chance of success with a powered hub... Might be worth a try if you have one of these laying around.
