How to Download and Install Windows 10 USB Audio Driver

Are you experiencing issues with your USB audio devices on your Windows 10 computer? The problem may be related to the lack of a compatible driver for your device. In this article, we will provide instructions on how to download and install the Windows 10 USB audio driver.

The Windows 10 USB audio driver supports various endpoint synchronization types, including the asynchronous OUT case, which requires explicit feedback only. It also supports multiple clock source entities and clock selectors, but it will only use the default clock source and won't modify the clock selector's position.

In addition to these features, the driver does not support processing units with more than one input pin or extension units with more than one input pin. Furthermore, it doesn't allow cyclic paths in the topology and only supports a single clock source.

The driver is designed to work with USB Audio 2.0 devices and supports all entity types defined in ADC-2 3.13. Each terminal entity must have a valid clock connection in compatible USB Audio 2.0 hardware.

If you're looking for an alternative setting, you can specify another format defined in FMT-2 or an unknown format, but the driver will ignore it. The supported formats include those listed below:

* FMT-2 refers to the Audio Data Formats specification, Release 2.0.

* ADC-2 refers to the USB Device Class Definition for Audio Devices, Release 2.0.

* USB-2 refers to the Universal Serial Bus Specification, Revision 2.0.

The USB-IF (USB Implementers Forum) is a special interest group that maintains the Official USB Specification, test specifications, and tools. The driver fits within the wider architecture of Windows USB Audio as shown below.

To download and install the Windows 10 USB audio driver, follow these steps:

1. Go to the official Microsoft website and search for 'Windows 10 USB Audio Driver'.

2. Click on the link to download the driver.

3. Once the download is complete, run the installer and follow the prompts to install the driver.

Alternatively, you can also check if a third-party driver exists on your system or Windows Update, as it may override the class driver.

After installing the driver, you can identify it in Device Manager as 'USB Audio Class 2 Device'. The driver is named 'usbaudio2.sys' and the associated inf file is 'usbaudio2.inf'. It's a WaveRT audio port class miniport designed to support USB Audio 2.0 devices.

Starting with Windows 10, release 1703, a USB Audio 2.0 driver is shipped with Windows. If you're running an earlier version of Windows 10, you may need to download and install the driver manually.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully download and install the Windows 10 USB audio driver on your computer.
