JRiver Media Window Audio Driver for Windows 10

<< < (4/5) > >>

hvac:
So, may I know just what "works" (with WDM checked and secure boot disabled) on MC24? By way of explanation, I would like to listen to one of the major for pay streaming services like Deezer or Amazon Music Unlimited or Spotify or any other that "works" thru MC24 as you have suggested. MC23/MC20 did work with no BSOD issues on my system. And it worked for any music I streamed through my Windiws 10 and MC23/MC20 system.
  Now that I'm using MC24 as the sole music decoder it doesn't work with either of the above services. If any one of the major music streaming services can be made to work, and I haven't tried them all, I would call this problem solved.
  As I believe the average music listener is just as likely to enjoy streamed music as ripped CDs, this function of the JRiver experience is essential. It allows one to improve the sound of what would otherwise be a marginal stream quality. It isn't the same as my FLAC files in hard drive but at 320kbs I can get pretty close to lossless for my old ears using MC.
  I was able to play several PBS streams and Radio Paradise thru MC24 with your suggested modifications. This allows the wonderful decoding capabilities contained therein to come to the forefront. I'm starting to wonder if this is a proprietary issue with the majors. However I can't see why the majors would want that limit on the use of their feeds? Thanks for listening. I'll get down off my soapbox now.

Have you been here?

It is a driver that any program can use.

You will need to set it up in MC24 and disable it anywhere else.

Now that you mention it, no I don't see MC24 as an option in the Windows Sound menu. Not sure what that means in this context. Is WDM driver enabled. The box in MC setup menu has been checked. Actually that was default selection and hasn't been monkeyed with. I do have playback with PBR an Radio Paradise if that helps. Thanks

Having read the wiki twice, I think I now need some troubleshooting. If you read my prior entries you will note I have answered many of your concerns. The only thing I didn't do is fiddle with the zones since those instruction seemed to concern an audio/video feed which I  am not trying to establish. Again I ask, does the fact that I can play Radio Paradise streaming indicate I have a WDM driver that is working properly? Thanks

JimH:
WDM won't play to a zone.  It plays on the sound device that you have selected.
