EarTrumpet worked fine for a few days, but today after a reboot I received an error (see screenshot). "Windows cannot find the specified device...". No known changes made to cause this.

Great app otherwise!

This is a known issue with Windows sadly; should be fixed via Windows Update soon. Will provide more info as I get it.

Does the app start up when manually invoked via Start?
