[Elecraft] K3S Sound Devices Issue

[Bill Johnson]

You can also use device manager to remove the USB device you want to remove.  Reboot and see if that fixes your issue, if not, 
It may require more research.  If you are using RTTY software, that could also be the culprit.  In the latter, remove and reinstall after doing the previous.

The only way I can think of to avoid problems like that is to disable Windows updates.

Yes, this is a computer related situation, and not a K3S situation.
