JRiver Media Center 30 v96 has stopped functioning
Matt:
Try picking different outputs in Options > Audio > Audio Device. You need to find a working device. If Windows can play sound, the default Direct Sound device should work.
tbng:
I have practically lived in Options > Audio > Audio Device in the past several weeks and have tried them all with zero success.
JimH:
Did you try Direct Sound in Audio Settings? Strip out any complexity and start with as simple a setup as possible. Change the volume settings. Make sure volume is not zero. Check the Windows Mixer settings.
Remove the Trinnov and use something else. Use a different input on it. Connect to it with a different computer. That would help you identify whether the problem is on the PC or the device.

I tried the Direct setting, and surprisingly it worked - sort of. (That only served to frustrate me even more because I had tried Direct several times without success in the past weeks.) However, I immediately noticed that the volume level was far lower than anticipated, in part because I was only getting two-channel playback. Those brass choirs in the Berlioz Requiem were solidly in the front of the room where they do not belong. See the image Audio setup reduced.jpg attached here for the settings used.
I then tried a variety of the WASPI inputs (none of which had worked in previous weeks), including one specific to the Trinnov Altitude, but today they were functioning. Kind of. The volume level considerably higher than with Direct, and multi-channel was playing. Berlioz's brass choirs were now behind me where they are placed in the recording. Had I solved the problem? No such luck.
The multi-channel recording that played successfully is in 5.1 .dsf format, but when I tried playing a 5.0 .wav format file, I got the error message you see in the attached Playback error reduced.jpg. I can assure you that my system is capable of all variety of multi-channel playback formats, and I have played that specific 5.0 .wav recording many, many times without adjusting anything in Media Center.
BTW, I use zones: a two-channel zone (=2 channels) and a multi-channel zone (>2 channels) that had been working without manual intervention for several years previous.
What other setting can I show you that might lead to a solution?
JimH:
Try playing ordinary FLAC files to see what you learn.
The problem may only be with high res or multi-channel. That would suggest that either you're using the wrong input on the Trinnov device or it doesn't reliably support what you think it does. MC can convert if necessary, using DSP Studio > Output settings.
Power cycle the output device if it doesn't work the first time.
But start with FLAC and see what you learn.
Please re-read my previous message.
