Title: No sound MC 22
Post by: geogil on January 20, 2017, 12:55:33 pm
Hello,
I can no longer hear any sound through either my headphones or speakers when I use J River MC 22 on my desktop after the new Windows 10 update.

 I have audio through iTunes and on websites. I have no audio through the desktop when I try to access my server, listen to Internet radio, or to audio files that are stored on the disk. The sound bar, in the J River display window, indicates that there are audio signals being played. Additionally, I have tried updating drivers etc. with no luck.

I have also attached the log file from MC 22

Does anyone have any clues?

Windows 10 Pro, 64 bit
version: 1607
OS Build: 14393.693
Soundcard:ASUS Xonar Essence STX Audio Device; version:8.1.8.1823

Thanks.
George

Let's start at the beginning. Are the speakers directly attached to your desktop (your System.Info.txt suggests that)? If yes, have you tested them through Windows Control Panel, Sounds, <device>, right-click, Test? If not, how are the speakers connected to your desktop?

Yes to all.

I also have a server running the same OS and MC22,  that is separate from desk top, but through 2-channel system and that seems to work.

Go to Windows>Control Panel>Sound and see what is selected as your default sound device. If that is correct go to the device's properties>advance tab and see what formats and sample rates it is set to play.

Hello,
1. “ASUS Xonar Essence STX Audio Device", is selected as the default device.
2. 24-bit, 96,000 Hz (Studio Quality) is the selected sample rate. Clicking the test button at that sample rate provides sound through the headphones and or speakers.
3. Under exclusive mode:
Allow applications to take the exclusive control of this device is checked.
Give exclusive mode application priority is checked.
I believe these are the same options that were selected prior to the update.

Thanks.
George

I believe that I have solved this issue.

Somehow, the soundcard is listed twice under, “playback device”. I do not know if this was the case prior to the upgrade or not, but I do not remember there being two selections previously. One selection works one does not. In J River under options >audio device, the playback device that does not function was selected.

All seems to be working well now.

Thank you for your responses and helpfulness.
