I've done something to the sound, but don't know what...
FenceFurniture:
I really do wish I had a better understanding of technical stuff, but I just don't.
I don't know how this situation came about, but it seems to have been developing step by step over some days.
Currently, when I try to play music through JRiver MC23 the following is (or is not) happening:
1. 16b 44.1kHz music plays like it is skipping forward through a CD, but when I play the same thing in Foobar it does not, so I assume I have changed something in JR but no idea what.
2. Any music that is above 16/44 won't play (and it used to). I get an error msg "Could not be started on the output WASAPI using format 176.4 kHz (or the appropriate sample rate for the particular music).
Other odd behaviour has been happening:
1. I have no Realtek driver to be found (and I most certainly didn't see anything about deleting it)
2. Every time I start music in JR it comes on at full volume instead of where it was set previously
3. It used to be that ALL sounds from the computer cxame through whatever system I had selected. Suddenly, two days ago, I started getting Windows sounds through the Laptop inbuilt speakers, and music through the Harmon Kardon Studio 2, which is currently connected only by 3.5mm cable. Having these split sounds is actually really good, but I'm not at all sure that it is supposed to be happening!
4. Re 3. above - the HK speaker will no longer work on Bluetooth from the Laptop.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. (have seen the other concurrent thread but couldn't see anything relevant in there)

This particular issue seems to be resolved now.
In it's place: The Harmon Kardon speaker no longer works via 3.5mm jack - ONLY on Bluetooth (whereas 20 minutes ago it wouldn't work on Bluetooth, and had to have the jack - insert headslap icon here....)

I may have resolved this (but only with the aid of a friend). At least I now know it was nothing I did.....bloody Microsoft got rid of my Realtek driver in the last massive update in July, and installed not one, but two identical drivers of their own. That may explain why at some times I was getting computer sounds out of the Laptop and Music out of the external speaker. Great....but it was spasmodic. Kinda like a two headed lizard trying to work out why it is still hungry......one head hasn't had the pleasure of eating yet.... ::)
However, it doesn't explain a number of other weird sound things that have been going on in JRiver, like not playing the higher res music - which was resolved for a little while last night but is now back to being a problem again.
RoderickGI:
You've rolled back to the earlier Realtek driver, according to your other post.
Get the latest Realtek drive directly from Realtek and install that.
FenceFurniture:
Thanks for your reply Roderick. After I rolled back I did ask it to check for updates and it said there were none. Presumably this driver was ok in July before it was ousted by Microsoft - I didn't have any high res music at that point, but 16/44 played ok (and won't now, either....hang on, I'll play something to see if that has changed....no, 16/44 still skips).
Now I guess that Microsoft may not know if there are updated Realtek drivers, but I don't understand why the one that worked up until a month ago could be the fault?
