    Last month they broke audio drivers, so USB connected speakers were not being recognised unless they had third-party drivers. The native windows drivers just stopped recognising them as audio devices, and just listed them as Unknown Device.

    Windows could see them, it had no idea what they were, or what to do with them. So you had no audio.

    The only solution was to continuously restart until eventually it randomly worked.

      Or could take a look at the code, find what’s broken, and see if you can find how to mend it, and either offer a pull request or fork it…

      … ohhhh but wait.

      It’s broken at that level too. Denied the right to repair.
