Benchmark DAC 1 USB not recognized by Windows 11 Device Manager


I have used my Benchmark DAC 1 USB with JRMC on my laptop for some time with great results. After Windows 11  update last Friday my DAC is no longer recognized by my laptop. Ouch.

I spoke to Benchmark. They suggested an Audio forum.

I have a DAC3 USB HGC & I needed to change the speakers to the Benchmark in lieu of the Realtek, after I downloaded the Benchmark driver.  You can see the speakers when you hover the curser over the speaker icon on next to the clock on your screen.  Long shot, but what the heck.  Good luck, John

The update may have changed your default speaker settings.

You might look at: Settings -> System -> Sound -> Choose where to play sound

Hopefully that's all you need!
