THE CRUNCH
Microsoft has confirmed that the September security update KB5124008 can break audio output on some PCs. The issue specifically impacts USB Audio Class 1.0 devices, causing symptoms ranging from no sound to unresponsive volume controls and the error message 'This device cannot start (Code 10)' in the device manager. Microsoft notes that the problem occurs when switching to multichannel audio modes, though some users'
devices can continue to function in stereo mode. The company is reportedly working on a resolution.
