Help Needed please !!! (Reposted, maybe previous post wasn't clear enough)
Roon on Windows, Dac connected over USB to laptop/pc
Driver Version 5.50 (latest)
I see an issue in Roon : Wasapi works fine, but after switching to ASIO, Wasapi no longer works as it should.
Preparation in ROON for test :
==================
1. Transfer to a Wasapi driver zone
(click Speaker symbol right bottom screen, click two arrows, select Wasapi)
2. Make sure Wasapi is in non-exclusive mode
(Settings>Audio>Wasapi tab : gear symbol>Device Setup>
Exclusive mode checkbox : NOT checked)
3. Make sure all DSP is OFF (no upsampling at all)
4. Restart Roon (this is to make sure Asio hasn’t been used yet by Roon at the beginning of this test)
Test in Roon:
========
While in Wasapi zone …
5. Try playing some tracks with different sample rates.
All should play over Wasapi and the dac should show one particular sample rate.
(this is the sample rate that is set in windows sound settings)
6. Transfer to Asio driver (zone)
7. Play the same tracks again
All should play and the dac should now show their particular sample rates
8. Tranfer back to the Wasapi driver (zone)
9. Play the same tracks again
Unlike in step 5 where all tracks played flawlessly, now only the tracks with the exact same sample rate as in Windows sound settings (see step 5) are playing, for all the others I get no sound at all.
Is this a bug in Roon or in the driver???
(Remember the Wasapi driver has to be in non exclusive mode for this test.)
I would like an answer very soon as my Roon trial period is expiring in a few days and prices for lifetime go up by 125€ and the answer will determine if I'll buy Roon or not !
Help please ! Thank you.
