Unable to select the JRiver Media Center 20 driver in this version within MC. However, it's still available outside of MC.
Installed previous version 20.0.41 and driver showed up again within MC.
Strange behavior. Only with the help of "asio4all" driver it is possible to solve in the newest version.
However, in both versions unable to select digital output in driver options. Only analog available there.

No huge problem for me as I prefer to stream to a net receiver for best quality whenever possible.

Nevertheless, it seems to be a bug within MC.

FYI: Same behavior was found on two different PCs (ZBOX ID-18 and Lenovo Ideapad Y580) and both operate with Windows 8.1.

Our driver isn't supposed to appear to us.  It was a bug that it was, and your report confirms that the fix worked.

Do I understand you correctly? You mean it should not show up anymore? Why?

It showing up was a bug.  Playing to it would lead to an infinite loop.

Not necessarily. If you'd set the JRiver Driver as out on Zone 1 and set a zoneswitch rule to move the wdm playback to zone2, which has a real output device, everything should be finde. But I admit this is a strange scenario that probably no one needs.

ThomasB, it might be more helpful if you tell us what you are trying to achieve, and why you'd need the WDM as an audio device within MC?

For me the issue is solved already. Obviously the "how to use the MC driver" was not explained good enough in the beginning.
By reading some other threads about this issue I realized that it should only be used as the standard driver in Windows setup and within MC the output driver for the physical connection must be used.
That was not clear to me automatically.
It now operates pretty fine without any problems when I use directly connected audio hardware.
However, I still prefer to stream the non-manipulated files to my Marantz net receiver for best audio quality whenever possible.

Thanks for assistance, Thomas
