Should work for windows 8: http://www.superbestaudiofriends.org/index.php?threads/jriver-mc-23-and-wasapi.5875/#post-193969

Thanks @Elnrik, I will try that. Although our imaged work computers block Windows Updates since we have our own Endpoint Management in place.

You can download it manually. http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com, and search for "C-Media Inc. - Audio Device - USB Audio Class 1.0 and 2.0 DAC Device Driver". Current version is 10.0.12.9 and shows up as "C-MEDIA Inc. - Media - 11/29/2016 12:00:00 AM - 10.0.12.9".

Good luck!

I think that is for Windows 10. I guess it would work on Windows 8.1? And these are the files it it was showing up correctly.

Yes it should.

Schiit and Windows do not get along. "Unknown USB Device (Port Reset Failed)"...every. time.

Try it with a usb hub or wyrd. It's probably that your usb port doesn't supply enough power.

I'm thinking the drivers for the USB controller itself is hosed. There might be missing chipset controller drivers missing as well. It may not appear so in Device Manager, as a default Windows driver could be installed instead of the correct mfgr drivers.
