Getting computer to recognize A/D Source

Glad it's working.

Glad I could help! :)

You figured it out erik. I found the setting in Windows that changed the bit and sampling rate to match my A/D and it worked right away. Thank you very much.

You simply need an ADC that outputs to USB if you want to export to a PC. They are much cheaper and available compared to an AES/EBU to USB converter.

A PUC lite accomplishes 0 for that task.

My A/D and D/A both do not have a USB connection, only AES and other digital sources. I will look into the other settings. Thanks

If Windows sees it as a recording device, you may need to set the sampling rate and mode (mono or stereo)  correclty in Windows.  Windows audio is a hot mess always.

Check the USB connection, make sure it's appropriate.  For instance, your device may require USB 2 or 3 based on the ADC settings.

Also, try bypassing any external hubs.
