Wyred 4 Sound Driver Issue

I installed the driver on my Windows 10 machine and used my W4S uDAC-HD for a few months. It sat inactive for another few months, and when I plugged it back in, the unit was not functional.

I went to the device manager and the drivers were correctly installed in both "Audio Inputs and Outputs" as well as "Sound, Video and Game Controllers". What was new was under "Other Devices" was Wyred 4 Sound DFU, which said the driver was not found (there is no driver).

Windows Troubleshooting can't help, and W4S has no clue what DFU is either. Searching DFU on any search engines gets you information about an iPhone mode.

Thanks for any help.

There is no driver option for Windows 10 or 11. 7/8 is the latest available. The driver was working before, and now it is not. I did try my PUC-2 D/D --> DAC, and that driver still works fine.

I'm still confused as can be about what DFU is, and why Windows is now insisting on having it as a functional driver.

Once I uninstalled all drivers, the computer prompted me to restart. I made sure the DAC was off so it didn't auto re-install or anything. I reinstalled the Windows 7/8 64-bit drivers (instead of the XP drivers), and the same problem popped up.

I talked to W4S, and the tech told me roughly the same thing. The tech will talk to someone else in the company to see if they can update the firmware.

Based on everything that has been revealed, my problem is moot until W4S updates the firmware.

Thank you very much for all of your help.
