I'm having problems with my sound drivers. The wife is out tonight so I thought I'd have a nice peaceful night... well, I am... but it is sat in front of my PC downloading drivers. Not exactly fun.
I'm getting clipping issues, and I can't work out why - is yours a similar problem?
It doesn't work in gaming with my DAC running it USB. If I switch back to my sound card it's fine. It doesn't matter to me because I've just ordered the kit to make up good RCA cables so will be using the DAC in LINE mode as Dave recommended.
Ed. Other things !
Since changing my DNS to Google's server the issues I was having in Edge, Chrome (not tried since) and any browser other than Firefox have evaporated, leading me to believe there's an issue at PlusNet's end.. That has nothing to do with 10 though but obviously with tabs broken on Firefox I am forced to use Edge. I don't mind it and it matches the colour scheme for 10 that I chose (dark) but there is no Adblock for it at the time of me writing this (will check again in a minute).
So this is all fully working so far as tested apart from my USB DAC which stutters in GTAV and leads to being mute in game and inevitably crashes it. Once I switch back to my sound card though and use my speakers everything is A OK and I am beginning to think the sound device in my DAC was a bit of an afterthought any way.
Moving on to something else I don't like. I don't like how they have apparently removed "Open with". Yes, you can set defaults but I don't want defaults. On my DAC I have found that the sound is so honest that poorly ripped music sounds like pump. So I sometimes want to listen to my music using Winamp so that I can use the EQ to sort the sound out, but I am finding I have to open the app and then browse for the files which is a bit of a pain to me.
As for the nay sayers? at the end of the day I was promised the new Windows 7. As such (and because 8 was never no 7 in the way it was presented) that was a pretty big deal to me, as was DX 12. So the main obvious reason I switched from 8 to 10 was DX12 which let's face it, is a big fucking deal. So whether I made the switch now or around Christmas time (when apparently the first DX12 titles will roll out) makes no odds to me. I'm a gamer, and the biggest thing about Windows 10 is DX12 for me. Sure, I like the pretty layout and new bits and bobs (and if I'm feel particularly lazy or zoned out on meds Cortana) but the main lure was DX12.
AMD have basically dumped Mantle now, confining it to the archives, so the only way I will see the true performance of my AMD Fury X is in DX12 which according to AMD makes the card a complete nut case.
We shall see !
Ed 2. Just clocked that "Groove" now plays FLAC out of the box with no codec needed which is rather nice.
