![]() ![]() So just because I have no problems doesn't mean normal people have no problems. The result is that my experience with software and Windows is not necessarily the way normal people experience the same software and Windows. Yet many normal users do things that way. Some things differently because I know if I do things a certain way that I'm likely going to cause problems for myself and my computer. I've not had problems with the Schiit drivers, or any other audio drivers.īut I'm also not a normal user in the way I do things.ĭue to my QA and dev background I do some things differently than normal users. I'm familiar with the types of problems Windows can cause and familiar with root causes of those problems. I've done QA and dev for Windows software. You mentioned Windows driver issues and my nature is to want to help fix those sorts of problems. I listen to DACs the way I listen to phono cartridges, same quality attributes like soundstage depth and instrumental separation, ambient information retrieval, and just plain musicality or synergy with the rest of the system.Ĭlick to expand.I don't mean to drag this topic off tangent either. ![]() I’ll likely stick with it for three years and then upgrade when something else much better comes along at an even lower price. But I like what the D50 is doing at the moment being utilized with speakers only - no phones. This can also be used as a determination of how well my A to D conversions are during LP capture to digital, regardless of the Topping D50 being outstanding or not. LP playing back, against the 24/96 file of this LP playing back, and listen to the depth of instruments and their detail in the soundstage. It could be also how the Topping handles 16/44 vs 24/96 pcm.Ī good test for me (yet) to try with this system is compare that original U.K. Mastering differences is what I chocked it up to. When I flip back and forth between each of the three I get a different feeling of depth and wideness of the soundstage. I have some albums in two CD versions with different mastering, and then a 24/96 capture (I did myself) from vintage UK vinyl of the same title. If fast startup is enabled you're never doing a full reboot when you think you're doing a reboot.Ĭlick to expand.I like that I can hear the differences on source material so well with the Topping D50. Because if fast startup is enabled Windows does not fully unload the current driver state and that can cause problems. Disabling fast startup is important when troubleshooting problems like this. Plug in the Eitr and see if it gets recognized. Make sure all Schiit drivers are uninstalled. There is still much to dislike about Windows 10. In part because it tries to be backwards compatible even when backwards compatible drivers don't work right. If you have ever installed the Gen 3 driver then the Eitr is probably trying to use that driver instead of the Windows 10 native USB Audio Class 2 driver. ![]() I believe the Schiit USB Gen 3 drivers also work for the Gen 5 devices. Either under "Audio inputs and outputs" or somewhere in the tree with a yellow exclamation point icon to indicate it couldn't be loaded. If it is using the USB Audio Class 2 driver it will say "no driver files are required or have been loaded for this device".Ĭlick to expand.If you have the Eitr plugged in it should show up in Device Manager. If it is using the Schiit driver it will say so. You can look at the Eitr in Device Manager and check what driver it is using. Then plug in the Eitr and see if it is using the USB Audio Class 2 driver. On the computers that aren't work with the Eitr. ![]() But Microsoft is still getting dogged by their past. The new USB Audio Class 2 drivers are a step in the right direction. If there is a way for Windows to screw things up with drivers it will find a way. If you have remnants of an audio driver still installed (possibly from an incomplete unistall of the driver) then Windows may still try to use that driver instead of the new USB Audio Class 2 driver. If you have a USB audio driver installed for a particular piece of gear Windows 10 will continue to use that driver instead of the new USB Audio Class 2 audio driver. Click to expand.Windows 10 still manages to screw up audio drivers. ![]()
