Hey guys,

 

I have recently purchased an iDac from iFi. I have been trying to install it on my windows machine but now it will not detect.

 

The problem stemmed from mistakenly connecting the sound card before I ran the driver install. Preferably i dont want to do a clean install of windows to reinstall the driver if such a thing is possible.

 

I cant seem to find any corrupt devices in device manager. I am currently using a samsung series 9 laptop if that matters.

Is it that it's just not playing or that it's definitely NOT in your sound properties as a selectable audio output?

Try uninstalling all related drivers in device manager, If the idac came with a cd then start with that before you do anything else.

Also, maybe Driver Sweeper software will help clear a mis-installed driver.

its definitely not in sound properties since the driver failed to install

I will try this and see if there is any progress from this
