Problem with ASIO --> Musical Fidelity M1 DAC.


Event

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

As I mentioned, if ASIO is not in use everything is fine, no crakcles.

I can not figure out what is wrong:(

 

Yes I have tried Wasapi too, but no difference:(

I'm a bit confused how these two posts fit together...

 

If you are using WASAPI, then you are not using ASIO.

 

Uninstall the ASIO4ALL Driver.

 

If you still have problems, try J.River Media Center trial.
