Topping DX5 no longer works with ARM processor

[Eulipian]

I have a Topping DX5 Lite (no balanced output). It worked great on my ARM micro-PC with Windows 11 64-bit. Now, however, Windows sees it but there is nada. Inter-tubes say that the Topping does not work with ARM processors--a "driver issue." I found nothing on the Topping site of any use. I could swap with my SMSL 200, which is attached to another Windows machine in a different location running a Ryzen processor. But before going doing that I wonder if there any known work-arounds? I know it's a minor issue as long as the SMSL works with ARM processors, which the inter-tubes say it does. I'm frustrated by this, but expect that it's a function of Topping not wanting to bother with driver updates for a small low end market segment--if that's in fact the cause.

Windows 11 had the driver, and it worked in past. You still have that driver on your system. I would look to something up in the operating system (most likely configuration).

You might try rolling back to the older driver, or reinstalling the device from the driver cache, but my money is on some setting going rogue and sending audio to the wrong place. It's common enough for confusion too arise since monitors started supporting audio passthrough from HDMI.

If it worked before, and now does not, that must be a clue.
