ESI UGM96 works (almost perfectly)

[zotyo86]

I managed to set up my ESI UGM96 interface to work with Rocksmith 2014 Remastered (Steam). I plug my guitar or bass into the left input on the front panel (with a guitar symbol). Preamp gain switch is at 0 dB, guitar/microphone switch is at 'guitar'.
I have only one issue: if I close RS and restart it, RS detects no output device anymore. I have to unplug the interface USB cable from my computer and reconnect it before I can launch RS again. This issue seems to be similar to #134 reported by a MAYA44 eX user.

P.s.: This is my first-ever github issue made, therefore sorry for any violation of basic reporting guidelines.

Yes, as you've seen it seems that ESI drivers get stuck and this is a known issue. Unfortuntely there isn't much I can do.

Don't worry about the issue, I haven't defined any specific reporting guidelines and this is a very good report :)

Thank you for reporting. I've added the interface to the documentation, along with info about this driver issue 👍
