U-Phoria UMC204 Connectivity Issues (Windows 10)
Hey all! I've tried searching the internet for answers to my problem to no avail. I'm hoping some of you could help point me in the right direction.
The problem: Instead of the typical popping and crackling that is often associated with U-Phoria interfaces, I have a problem that seems to be a lot stranger, maybe it's something with my computer. Last year, I moved my computer setup in my room. Before then, my audio interface (UMC 204HD to reiterate) worked perfectly. From the very moment I moved my setup, issues arose. For videos (YouTube or any media player), the video won't play and will be appear as if it were stuck loading (internet connectivity is not an issue). What I have to do to get the video to play is to unplug the interface sometimes several times and mess with the progress bar, pausing and un-pausing until it plays. This occurs with any media no matter the browser or type. For games, they will often launch with no audio, forcing me to unplug the interface to force a connection, which only sometimes works. For Zoom or Teams, I have to go through the same gambit to make my input and output come through. This issue spans across all software on my computer that uses audio.
What I have done: I have uninstalled and reinstalled the most up-to-date drivers from Behringer multiple times to fix this. I have even tried reinstalling the old driver I used. As I had mentioned previously, I have scoured the internet trying to find any similar issues, but I haven't found anything. I have experimented with directly plugging my headphones into my primary monitor (I have two), and the audio works perfectly fine when I do so. When I performed this test, the interface was completely unplugged from my computer.
I'm kinda lost here. It's crazy that I've dealt with it for a whole year now. Setup wise, I didn't change anything about my computer when I physically moved it. All connections are in the same ports that they were before the move, so I'm confused. I know this is a lot of information and I'm not too audio savvy, so if any of you could give me some advice I would greatly appreciate it. If there's any clarifying questions you may have, I will be glad to answer them to the best of my ability.
