I picked up the steel series gaming DAC plus headphones because I wanted a good way to switch between speakers and headphones. Problem now is upon wakeup from sleep or reboot it keeps reverting back to the steel series Gaming DAC instead of my realtek audio (Asus ESS SABRE DAC). I thought I could use the Gaming Dac to drive headphones and speakers.. just use windows to switch between which one I want to use but I have not been able to get that to work... Any wokr arounds?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Even though I only ever user the spdif out and disabled everything else, win10 sometimes mess with my audio device and decide to send audio to a seemingly random output.
I did that. .disabled all but the two devices I use.. it just keeps resetting default device back to the Gaming DAC..

Click Cortana/search and enter "sound mixer options" it will pull up the new settings with the app/sound mixer settings.
