MC 22 on Windows 10 Pro x64 has garbled/static audio output with WASAPI [SOLVED]

(1/3) > >>

dasmodul:
Every other output works, but I'm running my digital output (via optical cable) from MSI Z270 Pro Carbon MB Realtek Digital Audio Output to my DacMagic to listen to headphones. This produces a horrible loud static-y and garbled playback of any type of audio file. Direct Sound works fine. I tried Winyl audio software and it has no problems with WASAPI playback with the above mentioned output and sounds significantly better. I just paid about $36 for the upgrade to MC22. If there is no solution to this i would prefer to have my money refunded.

Has anybody run into this and resolved the issue?

dasmodul:
I should point out that MC21 had this issue too which is why i upgraded, hoping for a fix.

~OHM~:
me thinks asio would be a better choice.....

Awesome Donkey:
For everyone in general, in the future I HIGHLY recommend trying the updated major version of MC in a trial first before blindly purchasing an upgrade just to see if things work correctly with your configuration before committing (or if a bug or bugs were fixed).

Also try ASIO if you have a driver available for your DAC. It *may* not be an option though since you're using the onboard Realtek audio of your motherboard. Is there any difference when unchecking the box for exclusive access in WASAPI's device settings? Is S/PDIF bitstreaming enabled?

The OP mentioned it also doesn't work in MC21.

dasmodul:
ASIO does work, but offers no improved sound over DirectSound on my system. WASAPI offers massively enhanced dynamic range and soundstage on my system. It was actually through MC that I discovered this on my old PC (Win7x64 + M-Audio Audiophile 192).

So any of your have a confirmed audio card brand that works with WASAPI digital output on MC22 + Win10 x64?
