    I recently bought a Lumia 950XL. I tried connecting Blue Yeti Pro mic using a USB 3.0 cable to it. But the mic is not recognized. Is there anything being done to improve the usb/midi audio driver situation in windows 10 mobile? Also, after upgrading my older pcs to windows 10, none of my usb audio devices (Behringer Xenyx 1622 mixer, Roland SH-201, Zoom G9.2tt, Boss GS-10 are being recognized). Most of these manufacturers don't seem to be bothered about windows 10 and are not willing to update the drivers. Now all these devices are rendered completely useless as usb audio interfaces unless I revert back to windows 7. Is MS doing something to address such issues in windows 10 builds? This scenario probably gives you a picture of why so many folks don't prefer not to update to W10 from W7 while MS is pushing aggressively the users towards W10. Unless these important basic productivity affecting issues are taken care (which practically makes expensive equipment that the user has invested in completely useless), there is no point in MS pushing people to update to Windows 10 with just some fancy minor user interface updates (such as dark theme).

      Hi Arun. Thanks for your feedback. I will address the two issues you raised separately.> Blue Yeti Pro mic on Lumia 950XL is not recognizedHere's the current picture:1. USB Audio 1.0 devices work on the Lumia 950 XL now, both playback and recording2. USB Audio 2.0 devices work on the Lumia 950 XL if you install a build >= 14912, for playback only3. USB Audio 2.0 recording devices will work on the Lumia 950 XL once we add recording support to the class driverI took a look at http://www.bluemic.com/products/yeti-pro/ and based on the bitrate advertised I think this is a USB Audio 2.0 device (USB Audio 1.0 can't deliver that kind of throughput.) So once we add recording support to the class driver it should work with your Lumia 950 XL. https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2016/09/21/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-14931-for-pc/"This is an early version of the driver that does not have all features enabled, for e.g.: only playback (render) is supported with this version. Recording (capture) support is scheduled to arrive in later iterations."> USB audio devices are rendered completely useless as usb audio interfaces unless I revert back to windows 7Ouch. That's not supposed to happen. Any peripheral that works on Windows 7 is supposed to work on Windows 10 as well; the driver you had installed on Windows 7 should be carried forward by the upgrade, and Windows 10 should work with that driver just as well as Windows 7 did.Or if there's a better driver on Windows Update, you might get that; but the better driver should be, um, well, better.So... I think there's a bug here (or perhaps a couple of bugs.) Would you be willing to help us track it down? The simplest way to get the information to us would be to install Windows 10 again, and use the Feedback Hub to submit a "problem" feedback under Hardware, Devices, and Drivers | Audio, sound, and volume.This will gather some logs; if you use the "Copy Link" feature to send me a direct link, I can look at the logs and see if they give us all the info we need, or I might ask you for more.

        Hi Maurits,Thank you very much for the reply. I am looking forward to using the Lumia 950XL with my Blue Yeti Pro mic once the new driver/OS updates with recording options are available. With regards to usb audio interfaces, I have tried (many times) various methods of installing/un-installing the usb audio interface drivers for Roland SH-201, Boss GS-10, Zoom G9.2tt and more recently Behringer Xenyx 1622. I will try them once again some time next week when I get some time and send any troubleshooting information to you as feedback. To begin with here are the details of what I have attempted and the links to drivers (from the manufacturer's website) that I have tried using in windows 10. I had written Roland about SH-201 and they said that they would no longer update the drivers for this product beyond Windows 8. This synthesizer was in the market as late as 2010. Here is the link to the available driver for windows 8/windows 7 at their website. The irony is that some of the functions of this synth can only be changed using the software provided by the company which will not work unless the operating system recognizes the hardware through drivers.https://www.roland.com/us/support/by_product/sh-201/updates_drivers/Here is a link for drivers of Boss GS-10https://www.boss.info/us/support/by_product/gs-10/updates_drivers/Similarly I tried installing the drivers for Zoom G9.2tt. But the Windows 10 system is unable to recognize it. Here is the link for the drivers:https://www.zoom.co.jp/products/guitar-bass-effects/guitar/g92tt-guitar-effects-console#downloadshttps://www.zoom.co.jp/sites/default/files/products/downloads/software/E_G-Series_ASIO_win64_v2.0.0_6.zipI even tried using the new G-series drivers windows 10 version given in the link below for a similar newer product. It still does not work.https://www.zoom.co.jp/products/guitar/g5n-multi-effects-processor#downloadshttps://www.zoom.co.jp/sites/default/files/products/downloads/software/E_New_G-Series_ASIO_win64.zipBehringer website claims that asio4all drivers should be compatible for Xenyx 1622. But they are not. Here is the link:http://www.music-group.com/brand/c/Behringer/downloads?active=DownloadsAll these have been working with windows 7 and most of them were ok with windows 8 too. But now all these equipment are pretty much useless as usb audio interfaces with Windows 10. I could get the Behringer Xenyx 1622 to playback media from the pc through USB. But it is not recognized by the PC as an audio input device through usb. What concerns me most (regarding Windows 10) is the fact that these devices are made by different manufacturers and yet were working with Windows 7. But with windows 10, none of them are working anymore.Thanking you,Arun

            Hi Mauritis,I could get Roland SH201 and Boss GS-10 working by using the methods suggested through a youtube video showing how to get older roland devices operational with windows 10. But the Behringer usb mixer Xenyx 1622 is still not working as it should. The driver seems to install properly without any error message but input through USB does not function. I have submitted a feedback (8/1/2016 around 8:10 pm EST) through feedback hub in hardware devices topic under sub section usb attached devices. I have attached three screen shots of supposedly installation event logs along with this feedback in the feedback hub I was trying to get a link to the feedback submitted. But I am unable to get the link from the feedback hub app.And to answer the other question, asio4all does not seem to be helpful. None of the attempts with asio4all yielded positive results.

    Tried this on a Focusrite 18i20 (1st gen) which is USB compliant (One of the few USB audio devices which work under Linux).The USB 2.0 driver is in the list, After selecting and reboot the device manager shows and exclamation mark for this driver.Going back to let Window select the best driver,which find the 18i20 driver, audio works again

    Hi Maurits. I bought a Lumia 950 XL one moth ago and with it I bought also an external USB audio DAC: LG Hi-Fi Plus B&O PLAY. With the Anniversary Update build, no way to make it work. A notification told me the USB device could not work and to try it on a PC. So I decided to join the fast ring channel and since 2 builds (now 14936), at least when I connect the USB DAC and then the earphones, the DAC is recognized as external screen and the audio works, badly but works. Basically the audio is distorted and the pitch is wrong, lowered. Connecting the DAC, the Gadget app doesn't see it. But when it's plugged, the earphones buttons + - and on/off work. Should I expect improvements on this side, so my audio DAC will work properly, everntually? I read on other forums that DACs such as Dragonfly works perfectly. Would be also appreciated a complete audio interface with paramenters to adjust, such as sample rate/frequency and so on. I'm used that on Android, Poweramp app for example, in the latest builds let you interact directly with the audio DAC of the phone. In the meanwhile I send my feedback in the Feedback Hub hoping my DAC will work, since it sounds a lot better than the built in Qualcomm DAC. Thanks in advace!

        Thank you so much for your reply, Maurits. I took the time to send my feedback in the proper sections as you suggested. I made 3 videos and attached the links in my feedback text, so they can see the issue and hear the issue, since I also connected the DAC with a 3,5" jack to the A/V Receiver (aux-in) instead of plugging the earphones, so you can actually hear the distorted audio. In the Italian version of the Feedback App on my Lumia, the "Gadgets" sub-category under Apps and Games, doesn't exists, so I sent that particular feedback in the category: Hardware, Devices, and Drivers | USB connected devices (or whatever is written in English). I guess the moderators will move the feedback in the correct section, looking at the title: "The Gadget app doesn't recognize my USB DAC".Thanks once again, hoping this isse can be easily fixed in one of the next fast ring builds.

        The driver comes as part of Windows. It is included in Windows builds 14912 and later. It is not possible to apply it to older versions of Windows; in particular, there is no way to download it from somewhere.

    Hi Maurits, I've just updated 950xl to 14393.321, and tried using with my "Schiit Bifrost Multibit" usb DAC. Unfortunately when connected there is an OS message that appears saying device not working correctly and try connecting to pc instead. However, my usb cable lights up blue and the dac "clicks" which is registering a connection to the host. I use the dac with my laptop usually with Windows 10 drivers bit want FYI use my phone as source.... Any ideas? Thanks, Rgds, Dee.

      I took a look at the specs for your USB Audio device and it appears to be USB Audio 2.0 http://schiit.com/products/bifrostThe Windows build you're running (14393) has a USB Audio 1.0 driver built in, but not a USB Audio 2.0 driverIf you join the Windows Insider program and get a build >= 14912, that will include the USB Audio 2.0 driver; this should work with your USB Audio device. If it doesn't, please file feedback.In particular, it looks like at this time the current builds are:* Windows Insider Fast for Mobile: 14946 (this DOES have the USB Audio 2.0 driver)* Windows Insider Slow for Mobile: 14393 (DOES NOT have it)* Windows Insider Fast for PC: 14946 (DOES have it)* Windows Insider Slow for PC: 14931 (DOES have it)

    Hi Maurits,I recently bought a Teac AI-101DA and connected it to my Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10 (14931.1000 Korean). I noticed something:1) it is recognized as a USB 2.0 Audio device but is fixed at 24-bit, 32 KHz.2) after installing Teac's driver, it does not sound at all with no volume meter in Sound panel (volume meter completely disappeared), and3) in Properties panel for the Teac, there is no "Enhancement" nor "Advanced" tabs, and "Level" tab is broken. (has no content in it.)I don't know whether these problems from Teac's driver or from some conflicts with the new USB audio driver... Anyway it just works on my Raspberry Pi 2 (with Raspbian)

Works fine - but, of couse, there some noise after 1 hour's use (evaluation sw) ....Since I'm content with 24/96 for the time being - can I use the Win10 1.0 driver until the 2.0 is out?

      I found this set of specs for the IDOL 4S http://www.alcatelonetouch.us/idol-4s-no-vr (click on Technical Specifications)It looks like it has a micro-USB port; I see no mention of host mode, so I while I think you can plug it in to a PC as a peripheral, I don't think it supports plugging peripherals into it.But just to be sure I would suggest contacting Alcatel to confirm.

    Hi Maurits,I had a test in early build when I firstly saw the UAC2.0 support news, it failed. But yesterday I was glad that it ran successfully with a USB D/A on PC with latest build. But for Lumia 930, it didn't work. I don't see any option regarding audio I/O settings in mobile settings. Hope mobiles also can have a smooth support UAC. Could you please elaborate more on UAC support on mobiles?

      Yeah, I also would like to now more about the support of USB Audio 2.0 on mobile phones. After around 5 fast-ring builds already, there is no news for my USB DAC LG Hi-Fi Plus. No fix. Audio still distorted. At least, if there was a way to modify the pitch using a tool like Interop Tools, messing around with the registry of my Lumia 950 XL, I could try to fix the issue myself.

      If I read the specs ( http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_lumia_930-6227.php ) correctly, the Lumia 930 USB hardware does not support host mode, so external USB peripherals will not work with it; this includes USB Audio devices as well as things like "on the go" USB hard drives etc.

            Hi Maurits, I updated the WIN10 to build 16170 for trying the recording function of the native USB audio 2.0 driver. But the problem that I met in the previous WIN10 build still exists. sorry ,query the question again, Is the recording function ready in the native USB audio 2.0 driver? Are there any device you use for verifying the recording function of the native USB audio 2.0 driver?? or could you recommend any device for test the recording function of the native USB audio 2.0 driver???? I would like to compare with my device.thanks a lot.Leo

    Hi Maurits,I am currently using the Build 15031.rs2_release, and I have a USB Audio 2.0 device which supports only PCM Type I format with both playback and capture. When connected to Windows 10 Host, the device shows a yellow exclamation mark with error code 10.This device worked with both Ubuntu and Macbook.Some third party USB Audio 2.0 drivers requires a clock selector for multiple clock sources and must use the same clock source for both playback and capture.Are there any such assumptions and requirements for the USB Audio 2.0 driver that needs to be met?Thanks in advance.

      Hi Allen. Thanks for trying the USB Audio 2.0 class driver.Can you file a problem report with "media issues" logs capturing the time when the device is plugged in, and share a direct link?https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/matthew_van_eerde/2016/09/26/report-problems-with-logs-and-suggest-features-with-the-feedback-hub/

    What kind of recording and playback latency is supported? Will we need to use ASIO drivers?
    • Anonymous
      March 07, 2017
      The latency should be similar to the USB Audio 1.0 class driver. You may be interested in this article describing audio latency improvements in Windows 10:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/drivers/audio/low-latency-audio

    HelloI have installed the RTM version of the creators update and this driver (15063), and when my DAC is connected using this driver, my computer will not turn off the screen or get to sleep when left unused. If I disconnect my dac from the USB port, sleep and screen turn off resume to work normally.Is it a known Issue?

    Hi, I plug 'Logidy UMI3' usb midi pedal to my Windows 10 x64. (version 10.0.15063).UMI3 should be recognized as 'Audio device' but it is recognized as 'Other device'. (or Software device in Computer management).I try to 'Driver Update' -> Manually install a driver -> Let me pick from a list, but the list has no 'USB Audio'.I want to change UMI3's category from 'Software device' to 'Audio, video and game controller'.Can I do that?Sincere, Ryan.

      Let's start with a problem report:https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/matthew_van_eerde/2016/09/26/report-problems-with-logs-and-suggest-features-with-the-feedback-hub/File a problem reportOnce filed, use the "share" widget to grab a direct link to the problem report in questionSend me the linkIn addition to the logs automatically grabbed by the Feedback Hub, it would be useful to have the USB descriptor for your device; send me this when you send me the link. You can grab it using usbview.exe, which comes with the Windows debugger package; I can provide additional detail if you like

        Maurits, Here's the link to the feedback hub report. I'm not entirely sure if the capture happened; I added one for Media and USB; but as far as 'replicating the problem' the best I could do is uninstall the device and let Windows install it (as a USB Audio Class 2.0 device) once again.https://aka.ms/FwajbiNote that the behavior is the same across 5 test systems running Creators Update; so it certainly isn't a problem with this dev machine.I am seeing some troubles in the USBView capture, but am not sure which one would cause a Code 10. I'm not sure how to go ahead and send you a copy of that capture; since I don't have your email or any other way to contact besides this blog (I think). So I hope a pastebin link will do:https://pastebin.com/hwv2GYbAI also attached as many screenshots deep into device manager that I could on the feedback hub report.... I hope this is enough to at least provide a lead we can give our firmware guys...

        Maurits,I replied with the links requested -- but my comment is still awaiting moderation... What would be the best way to get the USBview logs to you? (I've also filed the Feedback Hub report, but I think posting the link to that here is also what's causing my reply to go into moderation..)

      Yes, the IOT SKU has both the USB Audio 1.0 and USB Audio 2.0 class drivers.

    Hi Maurits,Is there any way to extract usbaudio2 driver from Win 10 and install it to WS2016? I was able to locate usbaudio2.inf and usbaudio2.sys on Win 10, but cannot install it to WS2016 without digital signature *.cat file)

    This has just recently happened. And i don't know why since it was working perfectly fine before. I'm using an old PS3 Headset as my... well... headset for gaming. And it's not getting recognized as an audio output / input. The driver is having problems starting. (Specifically, USB Audio Device, Code 10). I've reinstalled it, disabled and re-enabled it, restarted my computer, i even installed it manually but it just says it cannot because it can't start.

      So I've left it unplugged for a bit and now it's decided to work. I'm not sure if it will happen again so I've chosen to stay active on this blog. If it fails again or anything else happens, i'll post here.

    Hi all,I have a Micca Origen, which is a USB audio class 2 DAC that comes with its own software for Windows. The software has not been updated since Vista, and although it functions, it often causes a BSOD, especially in ASIO mode.The devices uses a controller chip from the company VIA Technologies. The device shows up as a "USB\Class_ff&SubClass_00&Prot_20" for the "compatible id" in Device manager. Currently, any attempt to use any other driver causes Code 10, and I have build 15063 and have tried the current Class 2 drivers. Is there any hope we can have support for my DAC?I have posted this on the Feedback Hub under my account, but I am not sure if this is the same as a "problem report" that is being mentioned.

      Can you use the "Share" widget to grab a direct link to the thing you submitted in Feedback Hub, and then send me the link?USB devices which are compliant with the USB Audio class specification have PnP IDs that start with USB\Class_01. Class_ff means "vendor specific" so it is likely that only the manufacturer's driver has a chance of ever working.

        Hi Maurits, sorry for the delay I didn't realize you replied...Heres my feedback link https://aka.ms/Qnh1jiI know you just said that it will likely never work, but this DAC, like many others here, are plug-in ready for Linux and Mac...Also, if it might help, I can send BSOD information to someone so that maybe windows can get an update that prevents BSODs from occurring in mine and other similar cases. If that helps who can I send data to?Thanks

    Hi guys, desperately need your help! I'm trying to get my xcitel md-port dg2 usb to optic audio converter to work on my win 10 pro 64 bit and no success.. When I follow the instrucrions above, I have only "USB Audio Device" in the list and it is already the driver Windows using for this device. In Device Manager I see it with a yellow traingle and a "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" error status.I'm running a Version 10.0.15063 Build 15063 Windows and don't know what to do. This device previously ran on a home version of Windows 10 that I had on an another computer that I don't have an access to and I don't remember if there were an issue with it's installation there..Please help!
