Yes if you read the previous posts you will see, JimH told me to take it off.

For testing. It wasn't clear what you were trying to do. If you want to use MC's audio engine to play audio from a web page, you must use WDM.

I don't have any JRiver device in there.

Only if you enable WDM will you see JRiver as an audio device.

JimH · « **Reply #53 on:** December 23, 2017, 12:46:37 pm »

Please make it clear what you want to do.

Audio files played from MC?

or

Web pages played through MC?

You can do both, but please try one or the other first.

I want webpages. But yesterday when I used WDM the sound was poor. So you can't play webpages via JR MC without WDM?

So how come JR settings are affecting my sound even though I don't have WDM selected?

Do you have exclusive mode checked when using the WASAPI output? If so and while listening to media in MC you don't hear system sounds and whatnot, that's why.

SAJazz · « **Reply #57 on:** December 23, 2017, 01:36:40 pm »

No JimH said I did not need it, so I unchecked it. See earlier posts. So do I need it it or not?

I still don't know why when streaming that JR affects the sound even if I don't have it open.

JimH · « **Reply #58 on:** December 23, 2017, 02:35:24 pm »

Exclusive mode means that no other application, even a browser, can play sounds using WASAPI.

If you use MC as a WDM driver, the web sounds are routed through MC.

I've reinstall WDM and I have sound but cd still will not play, I tried disable event style but made no difference.

Why does Windows Firewall block JR MC when I switch on my computer?

JimH · « **Reply #61 on:** December 25, 2017, 07:07:18 am »

You need to change your firewall.

JRiver needs access to the Internet for cover art, etc.

SAJazz · « **Reply #64 on:** December 25, 2017, 08:26:58 am »

But I have access to the internet on all sorts of sites but never had that problem before. It only happened today not before.

JimH · « **Reply #65 on:** December 25, 2017, 08:38:23 am »

Block it if you wish. But it will break something.

Awesome Donkey · « **Reply #66 on:** December 25, 2017, 09:25:21 am »

I have to admit, this topic has me pretty confused and can't think of a logical reason for the issue(s) reported.

But yeah, blocking MC's access to the Internet will break things from working (e.g. plugin downloads if you're using MC for video via Red October HQ, possibly prevent embedded Chromium browser engine updates along with Widevine CDM plugin updates, cover art downloads as Jim mentioned, etc.).

SAJazz · « **Reply #67 on:** December 25, 2017, 01:37:22 pm »

I have not blocked it, just wondered why I was getting that message come up as never had it before on anything else. I'm only using music, streamed from Deezer mainly.

"Currently, JRiver is recommending that people not use WDM to listen to Tidal Masters"

I have Tidal on my system now, I'm confused how do you play it without WDM, I thought I had to have wdm to stream music from webpages for services such as Deezer, Spotify and Tidal?

dtc · « **Reply #69 on:** December 26, 2017, 08:29:16 am »

Don't play decoded Master files, which are 88/96KHz. If you want to play Masters, do not use MC - connect Tidal directly to your DAC. WDM works fine for 16/44/48 input.

SAJazz · « **Reply #70 on:** December 26, 2017, 09:39:23 am »

OK so it's just on Masters on Tidal?

Trying it now, it does work but there is a delay, misses about the first 8 seconds on the first track.

I don't think JRiver has said that.

Please start a new thread with a subject that describes the problem.
