Possibly a newbie question, but I can’t find an answer anywhere. I installed Roon v1.4 (64 bit) yesterday on an Intel NUC running Windows 10, connected to an Audiolab M-DAC Plus DAC via USB. Roon is converting everything to maximum 96kHz PCM, and when I look in the device setup in the Bit-Perfect format support it shows:
Please provide a brief but accurate description of your current setup using this link as a guide. It would also be helpful if you could include the screenshots of your current audio settings. Here is a short tutorial on how to take and save screenshots in Windows 10.
Could you download and install the AudioLabs ASIO driver and report back? I’m including a direct download link to the drivers from the Audiolab website, when you click on the link it should begin to download the ZIP file with the installer.
@john, that’s the driver I do have installed. I have seen an ASIO capability described for the M-DAC+ in other discussions, but it’s showing up as WASAPI in mine. I’ve been through all the settings in the Windows audio settings and the device manager, it doesn’t have any options for ASIO.
I would attempt to reinstall the driver if possible. If Windows isn’t recognizing the ASIO driver for the M-DAC+, Roon has no way of discovering the ASIO output either. You should know if your driver is installed correctly by looking at page 8 in Audiolab’s USB setup manual, here’s the link to it.
Well that’s baffling. I was definitely running that version previously, I checked in device manager, but having reinstalled it, there is now the driver control panel that wasn’t there before, and Roon is now seeing separately selectable WASAPI and ASIO options. It looks like it was only partially installed.
Not all the M-DAC+ modes are available, but Roon can now do PCM up to 96kHz and DSD64, which I think will have to do.
Thank you for your great support, it is very much appreciated.
