Event Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hello, Need some advice from some ASIO/WASAPI guru:) Just recently I have bought Musical Fidelity M1 DAC. It is connected to my laptop (Win 7) with Wireworld Ultraviolet USB 2m. As a speakers I am using Yamaha HS8 active studio monitor speakers. I am playing ONLY Flac or CD (Foobar 2000 v 1.2.9), must say this DAC is just awesome. But there is one small problem, when ASIO is in use during the playback and when I press the button to switch to another song from my playlist, there is a strange sound, like crackle. I disabled ethernet, wireless drivers also only 2 USB inputs are in use (1-mouse, 2 - USB to DAC), but no difference. But it happened occasionally, not every time. When I use just M1 DAC output (Foobar) without ASIO, there is no crackles at all. No big deal I assume, but it is annoying. ---------------- Windows 7, updated with all latest USB, wireless, ethernet etc. drivers. ASIO driver version - 2.11 beta2 ASIO plugin for Foobar. ASIO setup: ASIO Buffer size - 512 (tried smaller and max, no difference) Latency comp. - 0 WaveRT - unchecked Buffer size - 4ms Always resample 44.1khz <->48khz - unchecked Force WDM dr to 16bit - unchecked If somebody could give me a good advice, I would appreciate. Thank you. Link to comment

Audio_ELF Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Have you tried the WASAPI plugin for Foobar rather than using ASIO. Unless your DAC has a native ASIO driver than this is usually the best route for playback. Eloise Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience... While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing. And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism. keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out. Link to comment
Event Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 As I mentioned, if ASIO is not in use everything is fine, no crakcles. I can not figure out what is wrong:( Link to comment
Event Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Yes I have tried Wasapi too, but no difference:( Link to comment

Uninstall the ASIO4ALL Driver. If you still have problems, try J.River Media Center trial. Eloise Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience...
