Topic: Fireface 800 not recognized by Win10 (but Cubase works)
Hi everyone
Since I upgraded my machine to Windows 10 in March I started observing erratic behaviors between my FF800 and Windows 10.
I'm re-routing Windows internally to Analog 3+4 to then monitor it in Cubase and insert all of this into my ARC plug-in in the Control Room.
The occurrences and severity of the problems have kept growing lately. Here are some of the problems I might encounter after Windows was started:
Windows changes the main output device, randomly, can be ADAT or Analog 7+8, whatever it wants. The current workaround is to manually change back to my regular output for windows
Windows changes the main output device to a secondary Fireface driver apparently installed. So I basically see two Fireface 800 competing against each other in the sound device manager of Windows. In the Device Manager I also see 2 drivers instead of one. Here it's not as easy as it seems. Changing to the apparent "primary Fireface" driver will likely not solve the problem. Best is to just restart the machine and pray
Today things got worst here. Windows does NOT see any Fireface anymore. Not in the Device manager even although Totalmix and Fireface Monitor totally recognize and see it. The Host LED is also not red. Cubase works as per usual but there is no way to get sound out of my Windows...
All my drivers and firmware are up-to-date
Driver version 3.125
Firmware 2.77
OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro N
Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363
I'm hopeless of what the root cause could be here. Any hint folks?
Thank you very much in advance!
