Questions:
On Windows 11 no driver needed for PO 100 2024?
Sound settings shows this device as "Head Phones" is that normal?
No need to update firmware if it's working properly?

How is the computer supposed to know whether a DDC, DAC, DAC with HPA, or speakers are connected to the USB port? It doesn't matter, because the USB interface in the audio device is always the same.
If everything works, you don't need to change anything.

do you know of a device like po100 but with an optical spdif input or hdmi input in addition to USB? The PO100 works well with my PC, but now i want to connect my TV to the same device as well as

SOUTHSKY 192KHz DAC Converter

SOUTHSKY 192KHz DAC Converter

it looks exactly like what i am looking for, but i wonder if it can affect SQ in SPDIF mode (without using internal DAC)?
this thing can be bought dirt cheap ($10) at aliexpress under a lot of different names, exactly the same device. and there are some mixed reviews about sound quality.

I flashed PO100 3.84 firmware on PO100 Ak. Now no audio output. smsl is not responding to email requests for firmware. Anybody has any suggestions?

May I ask why you're flashing the firmware from another device onto the PO100 AK? I wouldn't expect a device with the wrong firmware to work properly.

Explain this to SMSL and ask if they can provide you with the correct firmware for the PO100 AK.

SMSL has no Support, they only sell.
