    I tried to find something for you using Google, but unfortunately to no avail. There are links, but none of them work.
    All I can say is that there are things you could try, if you can find them somewhere. Look in spoiler.
    The only thing I found is that many people have the same problem. But at the same time, no one offered any solution.
    C-Media USB Audio DAC Device Driver 6.0.1.3 For Windows Vista , Windows Vista 64 Bit
    C-Media USB Audio DAC Device Driver 7.0.1.3 For Windows 7, Windows 7 64 Bit
    C-Media USB Audio DAC Device Driver 8.0.1.3 for Windows 8, Windows 8 64 bit

    DAC = digital-to-analog converter

    @spermidiy Error 10 is unlucky, that means some internal driver condition failed. Can you upload your driver that you are trying to install?

    My money on subtle incompatibilities coming with AMD's USB3 implementations.

    No matter if the culprit is the AMD HW itself or a poorly written device driver that thinks that only Intel exist, the end result does not change: there are devices that have troubles on recent AMD machines (I mean since Ryzen 1).

    I already faced trouble like this, sometimes two of six/eight of the USB ports works fine, sometimes the only way was to buy a cheap PCIe USB2/3 addon board and use it with the affected devices.

    So I suggest to start trying to connect your USB device to every port, if you are lucky a couple of them will work.

    Indeed. It is what I meant with subtle incompatibility.

    I had in my hands a brand new PC based on Ryzen 2400G where a USB key meant to authenticate/decrypt/encrypt the certified email (which is a widespread thing in my country) that just didn't work on that machine (not with the working OS moved from an older PC. nor with a clean install OS).

    Everything else worked, "no question asked", in that specific case I not even had question marks on device manager. It just didn't work.

    Solved spending 9$ on a cheap chinese PCIe/USB3 card.

    It's a similar situation we faced with websites where a marvel like Opera 10/11/12 often had troubles with some specific websites that where written just with IE6 in mind.

    I've given up on trying to install DAC drivers that depend on Usbaudio2, it's impossible on Win7... until someone modifies/imports Usbaudio2.sys itself.
