Hi
I've just finished my music pc using JRiver on Linux Mint
Has anyone had playback issues like this - sounds like a scratched record with popping etc when playback through usb to audiolab mdac.
I've used dragonfly red and also raspberry Pi in the past and i didn't get any such issues.
Is there a driver that i need to download or is the MDac not compatible?
If someone can point me in the correct direction, I'd appreciate this.
Thanks

Check the audio output and make sure it's either the hw: or front: outputs for your DAC to make sure you're avoiding the system mixer.

Hi
Thankyou for the reply
what does HW stand for?

hardware

Or even better. If it has something to do with your computer and you can kick it, its hardware. If you can't kick it it's software.

the hardware is fine and works on windows perfectly as it should -

There's different audio outputs for ALSA (and Pulseaudio, but that should be avoided) on Linux. Using the hw: or front: outputs for your DAC means the Linux OS/system isn't messing with your audio output, doing things like resampling which Pulseaudio does by default. If your goal is bit-perfect audio output on Linux, using the hw: or front: outputs is important.
