Unable to use Realtek ASIO with WDM driver [Solved]
ToasterPC:
Hey there!
Long time no see, but I come back with a question into how does JRiver handle the IPC playback of the WDM driver.
I like to use JRiver as a DSP for my whole computer (Alienware m15 R6), but for some reason I could never get my Realtek ASIO device to play anything at all within the device output zones.
However, today on a whim I attempted to play a FLAC file through the ASIO device of my laptop, and not only did it sound better, but it also played all the way through!
I already attempted to uninstall and reinstall my sound card drivers, but so far I'm still not able to get WDM to output through the Realtek ASIO device, is there anything I might be missing?
I'll attach a link to my computer's drivers (https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=54x0v&oscode=w2021&productcode=alienware-m15-r6-laptop) just to be sure.
Thanks in advance!

Using the WDM driver, you should just need to select JRiver in Windows sound options, then set up an audio device in MC's options, then reboot.

Oh, I already have done that.
In Windows my output device is set to JRiver's at 100% Volume and as long as the Zone is set to output to the corresponding audio device in either of its DirectSound or WASAPI variants the sound will play correctly through the DSP and everything, but for some reason when I select "Realtek (ASIO)" as the output device in the WDM zone, JRiver keeps trying to play the IPC file and getting stuck in a loop of closing and opening the stream, to the point that the only way to get it back to a working order is to keep pressing around until it crashes and then opening it again, in which point I have to be fast to choose another output device before JRiver tries to open the IPC stream again, and when I succeed everything returns to normal.
The weird part is that even if the WDM zone is actively playing the IPC stream to the same WASAPI device that corresponds to the ASIO driver, I am able to open a FLAC file in a different zone with the output device set to "Realtek (ASIO)" and playback succeeds without issue.
I already have captured some logs, though I'm not too sure which part would be the relevant one, so I'll just upload it to a Zip file and link it here.

Thanks for the help!

I'm also seeing some weird problems with the WDM driver in the latest build.
What is the full version of MC that you're using?
What version of Windows?

Okay, that sounds like a problem.
My JRiver version is 30.0.59 (64-bit)
And my Windows version is "Windows 11 Pro for Workstations Version 22H2 OS Build 22621.1344 (64-bit)"
Thanks for the help!
