To install a driver in Windows, you will need to use a built-in utility called Device Manager. See my spots on POTA.Once you download your new driver, then you need to install it.

Thanks and I hope this helps someone else. The stroke I had messed with my memory and I am getting older. I made another 20 or so contacts on FT-8 and now I can move onto PSK31. In device manager, eveything was as it should be. I was able to reinstall the Icom USB driver and then connect the cable to my IC-7300. On rebooting it did an upgrade and restarted a couple of times, but after about ten minutes or so, the Windows login screen came up. It took a while, but eventually finished and told me I needed to restart the computer, which I did. When I ran it Windows started a download of the update. Click the "Update Now" button for the file. It was not working.Įventually I went to the Microsoft website and downloaded the " Windows 10 upgrade 9252" file. Still nothing and in Device Manager the device (Com port and Audio CODEC) was showing up under "USB Serial bus controllers" and it had a warning icon attached to it. I tried everything including reinstalling the USB driver from Icom. I made a bunch of phone contacts on 20 Meters. So my logging programs would work I had the CI-V cable and I used it for rig control. I was just getting ready to activate Devils Tower for Parks on the Air (POTA) and didn't want to wait. I restarted the computer for good luck, hi hi. Just search for "silicon" in the search field of add/remove programs and you'll find it. After which I went to add/remove programs and uninstalled the Silicon Driver Program. I uninstalled the faulty device (remember, it had a warning symbol next to it) from Device Manager and then disconnected the USB cable. It was not recognizing my Com port or Audio CODEC. After opening Device manager I saw my Com port was missing as well as the Audio CODEC. Later when I went back to open everything no joy. I closed it and the logging program as well as Gridtracker. While chatting, WSJT-X showed an error "USB Audio not connected", "Soundcard input error" or something of that nature. I minimized those while talking to some Hams on the Cormac CQ 100 program. So basically the trouble started when I was using Log4OM, WSJT-X and Gridtracker. Of course this will work with any Icom radio using the USB driver download. Here's my USB Audio CODEC fix and it fixed my com port too. I had this trouble before and didn't write it down. The next time this happens I can look back and see what the fix was. The com port and USB Audio CODEC went missing in Device Manger. My IC-7300 hit a SNAFU, so I wanted to write about it. Hey guys! I'm at Devils Tower and operating Parks on the Air (POTA).
