Hi all,
I've been following this topic for a couple of weeks. I updated to W10 with the free upgrade about 1 month ago. Overall I'm happy but basically the audio drivers are a load of ****...
I have a Pod Studio GX and it just didn't work on W10 (a mixture of not recognising device or horrible sounds, or crashing my DAW software which is Audacity)....
I tried everything people mentioned on this thread with some success (changing to DVD quality worked but killed sound from my web browser etc).
Anyway, last night my PC did a windows update and a new audio driver was installed and hey presto, it's now fixed.
Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3081452)
Update for Windows 10 for x64-based Systems (KB3081449)
I don't know which one fixed the issue, but of them certainly did.
BUT - this works when I connect to one of my 'real' USB ports on the PC. If I connect to my USB expander hub, then only the 'noise' problem remains (it doesn't crash my DAW).
I hope this helps.
Jim
