I have some external USB DAC that works incorrect in both Type A ports: 16bit resolution max and very low sound level. However the same DAC works fine with my previos 850 G5 laptop and other desktops. What's wrong with G8 ports and hpw to fix?

      • An available BIOS update resolves a specific issue or improves computer performance.
      • The current BIOS does not support a hardware component or a Windows upgrade.
