    Now that the latest W10 has a USB audio driver shouldn't the Young work with that just as it will with Linux which has provided a similar driver for yonks? I've read that W10 will get confused if other drivers have been installed so getting it to revert to the W10 standard driver can be a pain.

    Macs had problems with Young drivers, I had a JK 32 which relied on them,(2015) there was some support from a Canadian dac manufacturer I can't remember, but I swapped to Cuinas that was plug n play.

    Computer Audio Forum was helpful back then...

    Oh I've just remembered that the early M2Tech devices worked via a block transfer mode of some sort, I expect this is why standard drivers don't work. W7 seems like a good approach.

    Great, thank you. I'm going to have a go at putting linux on the laptop for a quick check to see if it works with that.

    You can run Linux from a partition and keep your Windows on the computer.
