Fx-audio Dac-X6 drivers fail after 14/01/2024 update
Hello I have an issue that my DAC is not recognized by windows after latest update. There is code 10 in drivers (It is polish language): Nie można uruchomić tego urządzenia. (Kod 10) Zasoby system...
I had exact same issue with exact same DAC, I logged in to save you time and headaches. 1 of the below fixed the issue for me, I am not sure which as I did both at the same time,
1. Windows Update > Update History> > Uninstall updates. I uninstalled all 3 available to me, it might be different for you but mine are seen in the screenshot below. I also PAUSED UPDATES FOR 5 WEEKS
2. I downloaded and ran the SFX DAC-X6 audio driver installer from their website found here.Once you do both the above, reboot and let me know how it goes. You may need to uninstall the device from device manager, then scan for hardware changes. In windows search Device Manager, expand sound, Right click DAC-X6, uninstall, Right-click, scan for hardware changes.
I spent way more time troubleshooting this than I’d like to admit when I first ran into the issue. Below is my conclusion.
I believe the issue is tied specifically to the following security update. The patch notes mention that the security update is designed to block drivers with known security flaws. So, it seems likely that either it’s a false positive, or the driver does indeed have a security vulnerability that needs to be addressed by FX-Audio.
There does seem to be a way to disable the driver block in windows security without having to pause updates. See the following link for more details.
