Issue with USB devices when plugging in and unplugging (headset, microphone)
Hello forum,
I wasn't certain about the right category for this issue and it might have an easy solution.
Every time I launch Windows 11, my USB microphone and headset don’t work. As soon as I disconnect and reconnect them, they function properly.
Can anyone suggest a method to make these devices activate automatically at startup without needing to unplug them?

In Device Manager under 'Other Devices' - GuangZhou FiiO Electronics Co., Ltd. - I encountered difficulties locating this driver before. Recently, I saw a warning icon and Windows Update failed to detect it. Despite that, I still face problems with the USB connection...

The goal is to identify the difference between when the microphone/headset functions properly and when they fail to work.
Initially, after starting the system with the mic/headset connected normally, you’ll notice they don’t function.
Check Device Manager under Audio inputs and outputs; ensure both are listed.
Select "View" and choose "Show hidden devices," then right-click each entry and verify their properties.
If they appear, run a scan for hardware changes—confirm the mic and headset activate when reconnected without being disconnected.
Also examine Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Process Explorer (Microsoft tool).
It may help to focus on one tool at a time for clearer observation.
Search for any audio-related processes or services in these tools.
The issue might lie with PnP (Plug and Play) functionality.
