I need a bit of advice...
My Windows 10 HW setup has been running fine since the last PC rebuild a couple of years ago. Last week, I lost all sound. I was using a Behringer FCA610 and although HW could see the FCA610 and there were no error messages, no sound was heard. (Obviously, I had done all the checks to ensure this was not a problem on the audio side!)
Uninstalled the FCA and installed a Gigaport EX that was to hand. Installed fine. Configured HW for it and if you play HW, you see the meters move in the onscreen Gigaport mixer - but no sound. Looked in Control Panel - Sound and no sign of anything except the built in mobo sound. I would, of course, expect to see the Gigaport here.
Uninstalled Gigaport, reinstalled FCA610. Control Panel-Sound now shows the FCA - but only as a WDM device - no ASIO.
Tried a UMC204 - same problem.
Tried all these device on another PC - all install and work 100% correctly.
It is as if the W10 installation on the HW PC has lost all ability to 'see' ASIO drivers. Obviously, I've tried all the usual Windows repair utilities like sfc and dism but to no avail. The next stage is probably a total reinstall which is a big pain so I thought I'd ask here in case anyone has seen this before. (I realise it's a windows problem not HW, but I hope you don't mind me still asking!)
I've been working with PC for decades, but this one has got me stumped!
Thanks
Steve
