Hi @puntolineapunto,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I can help you troubleshoot the issue with your USB DAC on your HP Pavilion running Windows 11. The error code 10 usually indicates a problem with the device driver. Here are some steps you can try.
Restart your Computer: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve driver-related issues.
Update USB DAC Drivers:
- Right-click on the Start button and select "Device Manager."
- Locate your USB DAC under the "Sound, video and game controllers" section.
- Right-click on the USB DAC and choose "Update driver."
- Follow the on-screen instructions to search for and install the latest driver.
Uninstall and Reinstall USB DAC Drivers:
- In Device Manager, right-click on the USB DAC and select "Uninstall device."
- Disconnect the USB DAC.
- Restart your computer.
- Reconnect the USB DAC, and Windows should reinstall the drivers.
Check for Windows Updates:
- Make sure your Windows 11 is up to date. Go to Settings > Windows Update and check for updates.
Try a Different USB Port:
- Plug the USB DAC into a different USB port on your computer to rule out a port-related issue.
Check Compatibility:
- Ensure that your USB DAC is compatible with Windows 11. Visit the HP website for any compatibility updates or patches.
Check for Hardware Issues:
- Test the USB DAC on another computer to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem is with the DAC or your computer.
Restore to a Previous State:
- If the issue started after a recent change, you can try using System Restore to revert your system to a previous state when the USB DAC was working.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
