I have a USB DAC that has been working fine for over a couple of years now. But recently for some reason, windows wont detect it straight away. The light on the device is red, but once the PC has been on for maybe an hour or so the light will switch to green and I get the windows "device connected" sound, like plugging in a usb.

Does anyone have any idea why this is?

Things I have tried:
I have reinstalled the driver
I have updated windows
I have tested the DAC on a separate PC and it works normal

still no luck, any advice would be much appreciated

Have you tried a different USB socket?
I also would try a different USB cable.
