Hi,
I have a wyred4sound dac2 running on usb with kernel streaming. With JRiver 15, I would get a bsod and harsh digital noise whenever I changed tracks during playback. However, that cleared up when I checked 'fade from track to track' option. I use a nas box (Dlink dns-323) to stream the audio. Generally it's 16 bit 44khz uncompressed.
There is still a problem with 'pausing' a track in JRiver with the W4S dac2. If I pause a track, and then switch to another track in JRiver 16, I get a bsod, with failure in the w4s.sys file. I also get it if I pause a track in JRiver 16 and then play a youtube video in my browser.
The problem only happens if I pause a track, and not if I 'stop' a track. I can probably remember not to ever pause, but sometimes I let someone else select the tracks to play and it has happened that they would pause a track and then try and pull up the artist on youtube and then the system would crash, so it would be nice to crash-proof the system for party playback.
Is there a way to maybe have a 'stop on pause' option or otherwise disable the pause button? I'll also try and download the 17 beta and see if that fixes it.
It's windows 7 home. I have bsod photos if you'd like to see them, and I might be able to get a minidump.
Thanks,
Bruce

A BSOD is a low-level hardware / driver crash.
It might make sense to talk to the maker of w4s.sys, since it's what is crashing.
You could also try WASAPI - Event Style (or ASIO if supported) to see if the driver handles those output modes any better.
