I am blaming windows update regarding my problems but need advice how i move forward hopefully without needing reinstall my pc with an earlier version of windows, problem is i will still get updates so this problem will return unless somebody can tell me how to permanently stop feature updates.
problem one: my 6 channel usb sound card (cmedia) stopped and the latest windows wont accept the win 10 drivers, so it may be upgrade to a newer card.
problem 2: my wind sim has stopped, i have done the usual, swapped arduino, motor shield, cables, usb ports, rolled back simhub blah blah. I tried the same wind sim setup on my non gaming pc and it runs perfectly. So thats where I concluded its a windows problem even thou the non gaming pc has the same version of windows. I actually run a monster motor board but as i have changed fans i tried the V2 shield.
My gaming pc is not so young,
MSI Mother Board Z77A-GD80 (MS-7757), i7 3770 k (overclocked to 4200), 32 Gb DDR3 RAM, GTX 1660Ti running triple screens, Boots to SSD, PCI-e Type C #.1 USB card (for oculus quest), Cmedia sound for in seat bass shaker. I checked the simhub log but i cant see it helps but you may see somthing.
I really dont want to reinstall windows if someone has a solution.

Hi !
About cmedia it's strange I use the CM6206 with no particular issue with the latest major windows release, maybe it's an older chip ?
About wind sim, I see that the "arduino health" is ok, it properly connects and communicates with no errors, so I would think about a configuration issue :
Can you check that effects are still enabled, with 100% volume ? 
That done can you check that the effect is still mapped to the correct motor, do not hesitate to click on reset you you remove any per effect gains which could exists :
The last point could be game configuration I see that you have f12016 enable but it's not "detected" (it means there is no game config file detected in your "documents" folder, can you make sure that telemetry is correctly working ? https://github.com/SHWotever/SimHub/wiki/SimHub-Basics----Games-config-and-troubleshooting#check-if-simhub-is-connecting
Hi,
thanks for the speedy reply, yes every thing is turned up full its as if i can't write to the arduino. i had a problem with drivers at first when i checked in device manager the arduino uno came up as usb device where my other pc showed up as ch340 device. after updating i finally have device manager on gaming pc showing as ch340 device - but its still not working.
i am not testing via a game i have a small 5volt fan hocked up and using arduino power to operate it, using the test now button. that method of testing is fine for the other PC but not the gaming PC. i tried different usb ports as well as usb 3.0 ports its as if it cant talk to the card. I perfored a sfc /scannow command and all was ok.
At the moment i have 6 channel showing up in bass shaker but no vibrations/sound at all. If I default the cmedia card to do system sounds it works ok but as soon as i reconfigure the onboard sound to default i get nothing on the shakers and my systems sounds are ok.
it seems the same both sound and fans not responding to my inputs. btw - the game has been deleted i will fix later.
Request - any chance of getting flight sim 2020 added to the list i think bass shakers and fans would be a great addition for fs2020.
I would like to report an idiot hiding in my house, he was looking but not seeing what was staring him in the face. I found out later it was me that was the idiot. Wotever was showing me the problem as well as others in other posts with similar issues. I include a picture of my findings and suggest a change for the next simhub update when muted the pointer dial should be at 0% not 100% when muted.
My feeble mind at 2 AM looked at the dial as yes volume the dial is at 100% as Wotever was alluding to and the red X was telling me to press if you want to mute not actually telling me it was muted - maybe this is whay other uses are having the problem not realising that the system is actually muted.
Anyway thank you to wotever for his tireless work with this amazing piece of software and his continuous support. Still would like MS FS2020 added to the games list thou.
