Troubleshooting common issues

• Device not detected - Try a different USB port (prefer rear I/O), avoid USB hubs, and check cable integrity. In Device Manager, View → Show hidden devices and remove ghost entries before reinstalling.
• No sound after install - Set the correct default device: right‑click the speaker icon → Sound settings → Choose your USB device as Output and Input. Ensure volume and app permissions are enabled.
• Driver failed to install - Temporarily disable third‑party antivirus, then Run as administrator. For INF installs, ensure you selected the exact folder with the INF file.

• Crackling or latency - Switch USB ports, set power plan to High performance, disable USB selective suspend, and use 44.1/48 kHz sample rates in your DAW or Sound Control Panel.
