Yesterday I received my Jotunheim with DAC and had difficulty getting the DAC to work properly, my Windows 10 PC wouldn't recognise it, so I thought I'd describe how I got it working.
The problem:
Windows 10 saw that I had a new device "Schiit USB Audio Gen 2", but it was unable to find/install drivers for it.
So I went to http://schiit.com/drivers but there was nothing specifically for the Jotunheim, but I figured the Gen 2 drivers for the Modi 2 / Modi 2 Uber, Bifrost + Gungnir would work so downloaded those.
I unpacked the zip file and clicked on Setup.exe and it went through the process of trying to install, but the installer said "Please connect the CMEDIA USB2.0 Audio Device".. except it was already connected. Hmm
So I disconnected the DAC and reconnected it, still the same message.
Here's how to fix it:
1) Go to the folder where the contents of the unzipped Schiit drivers/installer, and found the Win10 folder > Software Driver > Driver
2) Right mouse click CMUACWO.inf and select INSTALL. This will now allow you to find the drivers from Device Manager > Update Drivers.
3) Go to your Device Manager under "Other Devices" find the Schiit USB Audio Gen 2 with the yellow question mark next to it. Select Update Driver Software > Browse My Computer for Driver Software > Let Me Pick from a List of Device Drivers On My Computer
4) Scroll down the list of device types and select "Sound, Video and Game controllers"
5) Scroll down the list of Manufacturers and click "C-Media Inc". "USB Audio Class 1.0 and 2.0 Device Driver with MS Effect" should be the only Model shown.
6) Click "Next" and windows will say "Installing this device is not recommended because Windows cannot verify that this is compatible with your hardware.... Do you want to continue". Click Yes.
7) And you're done ! In device manager your DAC will now appear as a "Schiit USB Audio Gen 2".
Enjoy
