ASIO Problem [Solved]

(1/8) > >>

doctorjazz:
I hadn't mentioned it, because I thought it was a problem with my DAC (Light Harmonic Geek Out Special Edition), but I haven't been able to listen to music either. I click play, and get an error message "Playback could not be started using output 'ASIO', format '196 khz, 2 ch...". I go into settings, and ASIO is the only option I have for this DAC. I have used the setup in the past with no problems (for quite a few years, through many versions of MC). This problem persists in MC25 or MC26. Not sure what is my next step here either, can't rip or listen to music in 26, can rip but can't listen in 25. (really nervous about disabling antivirus).

JimH:
The ASIO driver normally comes from the manufacturer of the hardware.  If it's a 32 bit drriver, it will require using the 32 bit version of MC.

Otherwise use DSP Studio > Output format to force everything to a lower bitrate.

Hi. Boy, time flies, getting close to a year since I posted this, no replies. I just haven't used JRiver since the problem started, except as a way to rip CD's (still more convenient than other ripping programs I've tried). The issue really does seem to be JRiver (using 27, still updating). When I play something from YouTube, for instance, I have sound, so the PC isn't the issue. I've tried 2 different DAC's (Geek Out Special Edition, CEntrance Hifi M8, actually both v1 and v2), tried updating drivers, still can't listen to music, JRiver gives me an error that the output format may not be supported by my hardware, which I'm sure is not correct. Tried looking for something in settings to fix the problem, can't find it. Hoping for some help, I always did like using JRiver, have been with it for many years, but it may be time to move on if I can't get it to work.
I'd appreciate any help.

JimH:
The DAC  may not support the format you're trying to play.  Try others to see.

Try installing the 32 bit version of MC.  It's on the Download Page.

Otherwise use DSP Studio > Output format to force everything to a lower bitrate.

doctorjazz:
ASIO should be supported; I don't get other options for the DAC's. CEntrance told me the DAC didn't need specific drivers, but they sent me some that they said should work if I did have trouble. Nothing worked. I had been using the 64 bit previously without difficulty, but I guess it's worth a try.
