Now I'm more than a bit annoyed. I'd gone through the tech support line on
4/3/2008 (req: 1063428025) and the specialist was in the right area but took
a wrong turn.
The specialist had renamed the files "wdma_usb.inf" to "wdma_usbinf.bak" and
"wdma_usb.PNF" to "wdma_usbpnf.bak".
I was led back to these files by my laptop. I started searching .inf files
in /windows/inf for driver names like "usbaudio" that my laptop was using.
On the laptop four .inf files including wdma_usb.inf came up. I went back to
the desktop and found the files renamed. I renamed them back.
The Add Hardware wizard still didn't find drivers on its own, but this time
when I did Add Hardware I could manually select USB controllers from the
list. Then USB Audio Device was an option. QED.
