Hello,
I usually don't need assistance with tech problems like this, but this one really has me stumped. I have been using the Schiit Modi DAC as part of my desktop setup for quite sometime now without issue. About 3 weeks ago, I turned my pc off, and when I booted it back up, it was unable to recognize my Modi. The pc tries to install the drivers, but it always fails, and the Modi is always listed as an "unknown device" in device manager.
When I try the Modi with any other device, it works fine, but it will not work in any USB port on my desktop. Other DACs, even USB-powered ones, work fine with the desktop. I have made sure the pc does not turn off power to usb ports at any time, and I have tried re-installing the USB drivers to no avail. I honestly do not know what is wrong here.
If anyone has any ideas of whay I can try, I would be greatly appreciative. I was about to replace this with a Bifrost, but now I fear it may be an issue with Schiit drivers and my pc somehow.
Thanks.
