How to Troubleshoot M-Audio USB Driver Issues on Windows 10

Are you experiencing issues with your M-Audio USB driver on Windows 10? If so, this article is here to help. In this guide, we will walk you through the troubleshooting process and provide solutions to common problems.

Before we begin, it's essential to note that your driver may already be up-to-date. However, if you're still experiencing issues, try reinstalling the old version as described below.

Reinstalling the Old Driver

If you've already installed a newer version of the driver but are still experiencing issues, you can try reinstalling the older version. This process is a bit more involved, but it may resolve your problem.

* For Windows 2000, 2K3, XP, VISTA, WIN7, WIN8, WIN81, and WIN10/32bits, follow these steps:

1. Connect your USB audio device to your computer.

2. Press the Windows key + X and select Device Manager.

3. In the Device Manager, expand the Sound, video and game controllers section.

4. Right-click on the M-Audio USB Audio device and select Uninstall device.

5. Restart your computer.

6. Reinstall the older driver using the installer provided by M-Audio or another reputable source.

Using a Different OEM Driver

If reinstalling the old driver doesn't resolve the issue, you may want to try using a different OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) driver. This is especially true if your device uses the same chip manufacturer as other devices that have working drivers.

* For example, if your M-Audio USB audio device uses the same chip manufacturer as another device from a different brand, you can try installing the driver for that device.

+ To do this, connect your USB audio device to your computer and follow the steps above to uninstall the current driver.

+ Then, install the driver for the other device using the installer provided by the manufacturer.

Resolving Issues with Windows 10

2. Press the Windows key + X and select Device Manager.

3. In the Device Manager, expand the Sound, video and game controllers section.
