Ifi Zen DAC V2 Instability
Hey, so I'm having SEVERE issues with what seems to be driver instability or something. I can' tell what it is quite. But, what IS happening. Is, I'll be listening to a song using Foobar, or in a discord call (Foobar is set to WASAPI shared, bitrate set to 32bit 192khz in control panel). Using the latest Ifi Zen USB drivers and firmware. This happens every single day. Shit really pisses me off. Especially when I gotta restart my PC or ONLY listen to music with Foobar WASAPI exclusive/ASIO. Great. Literally JUST now I replugged in my Ifi Zen DAC as audio cut out even in WASAPI exclusive and now its not even finding the damn device. What the fuck is going on? I'm gonna try booting into Bazzite real quick to see if this is purely a windows issue or what.
My specs are as follows
AMD Ryzen 9800x3d
Zotac RTX 5080
G Skill Flare 32gb x2 @ 6000mhz
Samsung 990 Evo Plus 4TB x2
