A question to the users that have major problems with Windows 10 and Balance: Does the Creators Update fix them for you?

I could not find any official informationen regarding the USB Audio 2.0 Feature, I only found this article about a preview-build, does not sound too good:
https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperi ... eGW1Rb2.97

"Native support for USB Audio 2.0: We now have native support for USB Audio 2.0 devices with an inbox class driver! This is an early version of the driver that does not have all features enabled, for e.g.: only playback (render) is supported with this version. Recording (capture) support is scheduled to arrive in later iterations. We encourage you to play with the driver and let us know what you think (using the Feedback app). If you already have third party drivers for your USB Audio 2.0 device installed, follow instructions in this blog post to switch to using the inbox class driver: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/matthe ... o-devices/ "

I still have my Balance, and I look forward to trying it out again once class driver support for recording is added. Until then, I haven't even bothered installing my Balance with the Creator's Update. Was tempted to give it a try, but my Babyface Pro seems to be working fine right now.

Let us know your experience if you give it a try!
