Hi Ulde & all,

this is good advice and is consistent with at least one Mac OS X user 
solving this issue of unprompted USB audio device switches by installing 
an older VCP driver. Note that the SILabs VCP driver is not the problem 
in isolation, there is definitely an o/s version dependency as well 
since this issue only started from OS X 10.10 onwards.
