title: How to enable android emulator sound on windows 10 with usb soundcard?
body: <p>I've been working in an android app and recently I realized that I can't get any sound from the emulator, not even from youtube app.</p>
  <p>I'm  using windows 10 64 bits, usb audio interface and visual studio code but I have installed the avd manager from android studio. I have created new emulators with and without snapshot option checked, because I read that it might cause issues but it doesn't work. Microphone input works but audio output don't.</p>
  <p>I've checked the windows settings and it apparently recognize the emulator but de sound controller is disabled.</p>
