I have tried the following after researching the web for hours: Here is a screenshot, after turning the TEAC device off and back on, which is the only way to make it being recognized again - highlighted in green and shown in the available sound devices:Īfter a few minutes, or a few hours, or sometimes a day or two, it will again disconnect and go AWOL like in the first screenshot. When this happens, the computer freezes up for a few seconds first, and then the familiar USB "Ping" sound sounds when connecting or disconnecting a USB device. The screenshot above was taken with the TEAC device AWOL. I wouldn't mind this weird phenomenon, but the problem is that my TEAC USB audio interface gets disconnected sporadically, and the SST speakers take its place as the default device. Here is a screenshot where you can see all disabled devices highlighted in red (the down arrow indicates a disabled device), and yet the SST speakers appear as if the device is active as can be seen in the available devices in the bottom right corner: However, even with the internal sound device disabled, the Realtek HD SST speakers show up as an active device. I only use the headset and the USB device with an amplifier and speakers, so I disabled the camera microphone, and both internal HD SST Realtek devices - The microphone array, and the speakers. In terms of sound devices, I have a Logitech web cam with a microphone, a Sennheiser headset, and an external high quality USB device (TEAC UD-H01).
