In Linux it's possible to connect all the device together hiface 1 or 2 Evo Voughan. It creates a sound card for each device, but I have seen that mac osx can not support even 2 usb audio 2 device with the same id.

Direct mode was a workaround when osx loose integer mode.

I know that some people in the forum use. I have tested somehow with some difficulty to setting up but it works then

For version you are right I didn't increment in kext and I will do in official release

I have tested pure music and it's nasty to configure. In order to make it played I configure the standard output to hiface and exit for audirvana or any other application. Reset pure music using default settings etc. I'm not an expert and it starts to play. I can say that pure music it's a not easy for me to use. There is some user that configure it. Audioirvana it's more easy

PC suspend it's not working very good, I need to catch the suspend event to stop playback and then start on PC resume so I will investigate next week on this . With the laptop I had a small noice for just 1 seconds but with the pc is not so nice.

This should be released in the official page of m2tech soon. I'm just colleting the user feedback in order to fix small issues. I have already tested the Voughan standby and Mountain Lion. I'm thinking to release a version that cover all the OSX versions

Is still windows alive ? I think that best way to listen to music is on Linux. The problem that I did't find too much professional player. Do you know something?

I have the code in front of me and I can say integer mode it's the same. The only nice things that Linux do are: - integer mixing using dmix - multiple connection of several hiface devices in the same laptop

The driver should work as a real driver so I suggest people to connect and disconnect cable during music playback or do strange things to understand if it's stable. This is most for Voughan users too and standby mode. Right now the laptop and the pc can suspend when it's playing musing but it's not perfect because we don't catch suspend event and stop music but as I see it's still possible to suspend with some noise at the end because the device doesn't receive the expected sample, this can be improved in a new release. What I would like to know is if you want to have this driver for all the version of OS even the old one.

The hardware needs to expose hw capability. Why I need to expose a no capability. If I declare to be a 24/32 bit player up layer will adapt the audio stream to my capability. I can't not expose another capability for let you to have the impression that you are always integer mode. BTW the name of the programs is not equal to integer mode (that is bit perfect)

For example linux expose all 32bit integer channel to all the frequency and let alsalib or player to do conversion

The padding should be done automatically by the player or the player can decide what this the best algo to convert to 32 bit precision. Now I can talk with Marco about it, but expose 16 bit aligned right and send 0 the others 16 bit I don't really know if it is a good solution. I don't think that any driver that does not support natively 16bit expose 16bit to let happy the player

AudioIrvana let play integer mode in exclusive mode and you can check from there that it's working in integer mode. Basically if you open the pdf that I post music is copied in a buffer direclty. Then I take music from this buffer without change it and send over the usb bus. If you have more then one player the path is different and it can not be bit-perfect because in that case you write the music in shareable buffer using float. When the driver read this mixable buffer it needs to convert float to integer again and send over the usb. In this way conversion can loose original sample so it's not bit-perfect any more

Hi all I'm trying to help people to have HiFace working device. They guy that done the old driver take 6 months and we have taken 6 days and in linux was 4-5 days and then weeks to be included in linux kernel. Even the latest w4s driver was done by the same guy to catch some new customer because he decides to do its own business. This is not my problem, one of us in the company have done the driver for m2tech users and this fix a lot of issues of the other driver like voughan crash (I hope, because I have tested here). Now I'm not an audio expert and I'm in the forum to understand what problem the user can have and try to understand and fix where is possible. I don't have all the possible player and until now the best that I found is audioirvana because any player that use iTunes are very unstable. Even audioirvana it's not perfect because people need to unselect integer mode before deselect exclusive mode because seems that it remains active.
