I have an extremely annoying problem here that I cannot tell where is it coming from. It's either Schiit bug or Windows bug or (unlikely, I think) motherboard bug.
Basically, most of the time (and it's seemingly random) I get no sound and I have to reconnect the USB cable when I wake my PC from sleep. I tried different motherboard USB ports 9some are wired directly to CPU and some to the chipset) and it didn't seem to make any difference.
I am on Windows 11.

Does anyone have any idea? I tried googling but the keywords are so generic I didn't get any useful results.

Have you disabled the Windows 11 USB power saving settings. They are over aggressive.
 
Where would I find that? Do I need to do that per port in Device manager?

It's really weird because it SEEMS to only happen when the PC is sleeping for longer periods of time, like overnight, but there's no way to tell given how random it appears.
 
I did manage a somewhat similar discussion on reddit where someone claimed to have fixed this by changing the output to 24bit/192kHz, but that sounds weird.
On that note, Windows somehow autonegotiates the output format directly from the device or is it some dumb default? Mine is set to 32bit/48kHz and I have no idea whether that's correct or not. There are no such specs on Schiit's website.
