I saw a thread here from about a year ago that described the problem I'm having. I bought a turntable to transfer music from records to mp3 or other files in the computer. The instructions for setup say to open the "sounds and audio devices properties" and change the sound recording device to USB Audio CODEC from the drop-down menu. But this option does not appear.
The solution that was offered last year (from ZiggyZooZoo) sounded good but, in the end, I couldn't find the file "wdma_usb.inf" in either of my computers.
Below is what I found from the old posting. Can anyone help?
the solution to usb audio codec problem
In the c:\windows\inf folder there must exist two files:
wdma_usb.inf
wdma_usb.PNF
It is really the .inf file that is important. Some software seems to knock these out by renaming them to:
wdma_usbinf.bak
wdma_usbpnf.bak
I simply made a copy of the two files above and renamed the copies to the correct names, restarted my pc just to be safe, and then the USB Audio device was correctly detected next time I plugged it in.
Note that the inf file refernces the file
c\windows\system32\drivers\usbaudio.sys
which must also be present, as well as some other supporting files. But these are most likely present. So it's prob the .inf file which got renamed or deleted. You can also copy these files from another pc which has them.
