WASAPI Problem - W4S64.sys crash (wyred for sound DAC-2) [Solved]

<< < (2/2)

chink8ball:
Had the same problem.  Running W10 64 Pro and updates installed in June but then I was traveling for two weeks.  Back and while JRM 19 would load and the libraries would show, each time I tried to play a file via Wyred4Sound DAC2, the PC would crash after about 5 seconds of dubious playback.  Reinstalled JRM, JRM and libraries, etc.  PITA.  Once the MS update was rolled back, everything worked fine.  Highly annoying.

This reared it's ugly head again.

I've gotten around it by using directsound output, which seems to work ok. Disadvantages?

Wasapi crashes (BSOD). Tried kernel mode, but that disables sound from other applications even after closing JR, and I have to reboot.

Tried the directsound option, and that seems to be working ok.

I read on Headfi that someone there was told that wyred has stopped supporting this device for Windows. I've emailed them but hope that's not true ... it's the main reason I have this device. Given all the new DACs available, I can't see that it's worth spending the significant cost to upgrade this DAC so it does work ... and if it won't be supported at some time later, I'd be in the same situation.

The problem stopped for me after installing Version 23, 64 bit.

Edit. Regarding W4S ending Windows support for the DAC-2, that will never happen, the driver is still on the download page of the website.
