Hello Support crew. Enjoying your work as ever.

Upgraded to 1.8. No longer able to connect to my Naim DAC v1 via USB cable. ‘Naim DAC V1, office’ is correctly showing in audio settings. Naim DAC-V1/Type USB, Audiophilleo.com is correctly showing in Mac sound output settings.

I’m unable to select Naim DAC v1 as an audio zone. Unable to transfer the stream to it from a different zone. Naim Dac v1 is not showing in the list of zones to select from. Occasionally, unamed zone shows but that’s disappeared again.

How do I get my Naim dac v1 to play from my Mac book via USB please? All was okay in 1.7.

Regards
Paul

Hello @Paul_Greenacre ,

@Paul_Greenacre

‘Naim DAC V1, office’ is correctly showing in audio settings. Naim DAC-V1/Type USB, Audiophilleo.com is correctly showing in Mac sound output settings.

I’m unable to select Naim DAC v1 as an audio zone.

Apologies for the trouble! We’re working on a solution to this and will keep everyone updated here:

1.8 Audio devices in Settings but not in Zone picker [Ticket In]

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that we have a ticket in for this. I can’t provide any specific timelines, but we hope that this will be resolved soon! In the meantime, if you reboot your Core machine your zones should become available again for some time.

Thanks Noris - I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
