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.

You may have already tried this, not sure from your description: look at your sound settings (System > Sound) and make sure that you've selected the correct output device. Hope this helps!

Yes, I have ensured the correct output. Thank you for your help.

Why not try uninstalling the drivers, rebooting and then reinstalling the drivers?  One of the files could be corrupted.

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.
