"Surface app" keeps crashing when connecting Microsoft Surface USB Link

Dear John,

sorry for my late answer.

• The Surface Audio app is not available on the Microsoft store. The Link you have shared did not allow to download this app. No install button can be found! I assume it has been removed from the store!
• The Surface App is crashing every time I connect the Microft Surface Link USB Adapter. I tried multiple times to restart, repair, reinstall
• The Microsoft Accessory Center should work the Surface Link USB Adapter, but does not recognise it.
• The Microsoft Surface Manager Extension also does not show any install button. I also assume it has been removed from the store

So please show me an app how I can manage my Microft Surface Link USB Adapter settings. I bought alreay a new adapter, because my headphone did not recognize the old one. The issue is to configure the new adapter.

Regards,

Daniel

Hi Daniel_BBB, 

Greetings! Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that the Surface App doesn't work properly. Just to confirm few questions:

• May I confirm the host device that you're using to download and connect the Surface USB link?
• Is this the Surface app (Get Surface - Microsoft Store)) or the Surface Audio app (Get Surface Audio - Microsoft Store))?

Please also perform the methods below:

• Run the Surface Diagnostic Toolkit.
• Check if the Surface app has updates in Microsoft Store. Click the three-dots option on the upper-right corner > look for Surface app then update if there are needed updates.
• Uninstall and re-install the Surface App. Go to Settings > click on Apps > Look for the Surface App then click the Surface app > click Uninstall > Re-install the Surface app.
• If the issue still persists, try to uninstall back the Surface App and install the Surface Management Extension instead.

You've also mentioned that the Surface USB link is broken or damaged. After you plugged in the USB link, try to press and release the power button quickly to turn on your headphones. 

Do you hear a message saying they're connected to Microsoft Surface USB Link? Do you also see an solid white LED light on both your Surface USB Link?

If your Headphones doesn't detect the USB link then you need a replacement USB link.
