Another device is set as the default playback device （Open the Sound and Audio Device properties tab and select USB Audio Device “Furutech ADL GT40α “ as default playback device.） A3-4. There is a problem with the external amp or speakers (Check the connection between external components and the GT40α LINE OUT RCA jacks.) A3-5. You can find the appropriate drivers on the Silicon Labs Website by searching for 'VCP drivers CP210x'. Alternatively, typing 'VCP drivers CP210x' into any Internet search engine should give you results for the appropriate driver files.

I have lost track of how many updates Microsoft has released since I first penned this article a few years ago. Working to troubleshoot an issue in an online forum I was pleased to find Silicon Labs has continued to release updated drivers.

Reviewing the release notes also available at the link below the latest drivers are certified with later versions of Windows 10.

The version on the Yaesu website is several years old.

DriverVer=03/28/2016,6.7.3.350

Current version available from Silicon Labs

DriverVer = 05/23/2018,10.1.3.2130

Install was easy it updated the existing driver install.

I am running Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit and am able to run the latest version of PCC downloaded from the Yaesu website without any special settings. Ham Radio Deluxe also works just fine with the updated driver.

With all of the security issues folks are having with Windows as Microsoft hardens the operating system. I would recommend following the Microsoft broad recommendation of keeping drivers updated.

I received an email from Ed Ve7ED raising awareness to a new USB serial driver from Silicon Labs, this is the chip which Yaesu uses in the FTDX3000 and I suspect other serial to USB radios and cables. Note if you are using Linux or OSX drivers for those platforms are also available. I have installed the 64Bit driver on my Windows 10 system and no runs, drips or errors.

Also worth noting drivers are available for OSX, Linux and Android if you are for example using FLDigi on those platforms.
