I’ve done some further research. The Microsoft Class Compliant USB 2.0 driver is still broken in Roon with Event Style WASAPI enabled. It will play the first 3-5 seconds of a song and then give a transport error and move to the next track and repeat. It can be force installed to the Yggy but isn’t the default driver that gets installed.
Interestingly the default driver that was installed when I plugged in the Yggdrasil into my W10 box is the following. It works properly with Exclusive and Event Style WASAPI. This driver might be left over from my McIntosh C47 or Ayre Codex, but these driver sets were uninstalled quite some time ago.
With regards to the Microsoft USB 2 Class compliant driver, the issue was reported quite some time ago, and a bug report was generated. Not sure why it still hasn’t been fixed?
Is it not the same Windows-based, 2.0 compliant driver in use for all Schiit products? I’m using the Microsoft-supplied driver on Windows 10 with a Mimby and I’ve had no issues whatsoever. I realize this doesn’t help anyone, specifically, but, that has been my experience.
Well I would of thought so, but the driver It installed for me was the cmedia listed above. The class compliant Microsoft driver can be manually installed in my case but doesn’t work event style for me with roon. Yet works perfectly with hqplayer.
No problem, @DrTone. I must have gotten a bit thrown at some point in following the thread.
@Inno I’m perplexed. I may have missed it earlier, but, have you posted info for your audio properties (ie right click volume->playback devices->right click on the device->properties)?
Have you disabled all enhancements? Made sure the default format is the highest the DAC can handle? Made sure both checkboxes under “exclusive mode” are checked?
My settings in Roon with the C-Media driver are as follows:
Exclusive
Event-Style
Max sample rate 192
Max bit depth 24
Resync delay 1.5s (The Yaggy takes some time with it’s relays to change sample rates)
DSD convert of course.
@Joe_Strain No apology is needed, we are just trying to figure this out. but yes, both disable enhancement and alllow exclusive mode are clicked.
@DrTone Besdies resyne delay and buffer, our setting was pretty much the same. I now changed it to 1.5s and 250ms as but , but still, initialize fails.
@Eric Hey Eric, were you guys ever be able to figure out what caused the issue with exclusive mode?
Even if it’s a factory defect, please let us know… Since I might be sending my Yggy back to Schiit in near future and if it’s the hardware, I can request them to take a look as well.
Hi @Inno — Thank you for touching base with me, hope all has been well!
I had our techs pull a Yggy (Gen 5) off the shelf this morning to confirm how the unit behaves and they have confirmed that there are no issues using the DAC (WASAPI) with both “exclusive mode” and “event driven mode” enabled. No drivers were installed and this was on the latest version of Win10.
