Hi @kliff0rd7070 ,
have you tried to disable your onbaord sound in bios for a testcase, as mentioned ?
( you can also disable it in device manager, but if you never use onboard soundcard you not need it to activate it in bios )
Then let us know which usb dac you own … usb complain or do you need extra drivers ?
Please check your sound settings… do NOT set useless settings like 300kbits what ever, you are not a bat 
. A very high quality setting is 24bit/48khz … i’am pretty sure you also not notice a diff if you set normal 16bit/44khz ( CD ).
As @willisxdc mentioned… this ** nvidia High Definition Audio make sometime realy trouble ( like other stuff from nvidia in meanwhile ) . I personaly choose manual nvidia driver installation and I NOT installed these nvidia sound drivers ( I not need that because I not use sound in that way ). You can also try to disable it in device manager.
As you see, I have lots more devices ( also asio drivers which you not see ) and all works fine…
