I am wondering if it is NOT the audio driver that is a problem but in fact something like the serial bus or something that is preventing the device from communicating. Like maybe the audio driver is fine but another driver is missing.
OK, I'm going to suggest something that I tell people to avoid. I think you should download and run
Device Doctor.
This program is far from perfect; I tell the horror story from when I tried it and it suggested 5 new drivers: 2 installed fine, 2 wouldn't even download, and the last one that it installed trashed my system so that I spent an hour trying to recover and had to do a system restore from safe mode. But you should at least run it and see what it suggests.
I would prefer if you didn't actually run the install portion until you show us the results, so if you would, just run the analysis. What I think we may be looking for are any drivers related to audio or serial bus or communications and I am curious if any will "jump out at me" as being the most likely.
At some point if we decide to allow device doctor to actually install, my suggestion is...
Take a restore point first, then install just one, and reboot after install.
If all is working properly then take another restore point, install the next one, and reboot.
