NO sound at all PC to Marantz 8801

thanks for the quick reply. The core is on an HP pavilion magnesium p6674y running Windows 10. It’s connected via HDMI the video output is to my TV so a screen shot is hard roon gave me 3 choices for zones. 1) system output
2) NVIDIA high definition audio
3) jriver media center 19

I am making a leap that the system output is the onboard dac, the jriver 19 is an old version but may have had it’s own dac and NVIDIA is my video card that has a dac. So…no external dac is found??? Just a guess.

My collection currently is external HDs connected to PC. I have a huge collection but just loaded about 40000 songs of high definition so far

I have room 1.5 (build 334) stable (64) bit
