Teac ud-501 / no sound!

[CJ_Clarke]

Hi there,

Just signed up for Roon, but I get no sound. Nothing. It works sometimes if I switch out of exclusive mode.

My DAC is Teac UD-501. I see on the forums that there were some issues some time back, can’t believe that these haven’t been resolved.

Please advise?

With thanks,
CJ

Hi CJ

Fellow user here. What is your Teac connected to? What are you running Roon on? More information might be able to help.

Additionally, have you gone to Settings/Audio and Enabled the Teac. And then after enabling it, chosen it to be the endpoint.

I had one of these and found it had a lot of trouble handling changes to sample rates or bit depth and would lock up and not work. Restarting often didn’t fix it.
Moved it on and replaced it with a Topping unit and never looked back.

Do post your set up though (computer, OS, how it’s connected).

Thanks!

I’ve had a version of this problem on a couple of different Mac laptops and OS. At the moment I’m trying on MacBook Pro running OS12 Monterey.

Yes, I have enabled the TEAC. I have the same problem with Audirvana so I thought that I would give Roon a go. With Audirvana, sometimes it freezes but can generally we made to work by closing and reopening. Roon gives me nothing at all.

If the DAC plays absolutely fine through Tidal natively, it is something in Roon that is causing this problem…? There must be a way to sort this…

Hey @CJ_Clarke,

Thanks a lot for reporting this!

Could you please enable Max PCM upsampling in DSP engine? It should help with the device muting itself

Thank you! This seems to have sorted the problem! Fingers crossed.
