It worked for both system and internal volume. Music then came out of the internal loudspeakers. I switched the audio device from the DAC to Default. It seemed so easy that I could not understand why I had these volume troubles in the first place. Let me know how this works for you and we'll see if there is anything else that needs to be changed. On the other hand, locking the volume control (disabled) may affect this also, and might fix the problem by itself. I would start by making sure that the Audio Device in MC is set up to go to the specific name of your DAC. But I haven't paid a lot of attention either, as my current DAC doesn't have a display to draw my attention. Your report of 16/44.1 versus 24/44.1 on the same tracks is new to me. All of that is OFF by default I'm just mentioning it for completeness. Of course make sure you're not applying any DSP effects like Volume Leveling, Adaptive Volume etc. The slider won't move from 100% in this position. To disable volume control of the slider: Tools > Options > Audio > Volume > Volume Mode > Disabled Volume Or choose Player > Audio Path and it will show you the same stuff. Hover over the blue light and it will show you the audio path. If you disagree with that, then you probably shouldn't trust the blue light in MC and you should look at the audio path to make sure no changes are being made. MC's authors apparently consider volume changes to be sonicly transparent, as the blue indicator for "no alteration" stays lit up, even when volume control is being applied in some way. Sonically, there seems to be no difference, but I wish I could make the choice myself instead of letting jriver choose the one or the other in a rather arbitrary fashion.Īny kind of help and suggestions is appreciated! I have no idea what makes it switch between the two bit depths for exactly the same audio file. Does someone know of a way to completely avoid volume control and to ensure that the original bits are always sent to the DAC without any modification, no matter how the volume sliders are set? I would like to leave volume control to the stereo amp.Īnother thing that confuses me is that the DAC sometimes reports 24/44.1 and sometimes 16/44.1 for the same redbook CD wav files. However, even when jriver tells me that it is playing in a bit perfect way, the volume control (the slider) is still operational, which means that the bits are potentially altered by jriver (at least when volume is less than 100%). I am trying to set up jriver on a MacBook to send bit perfect audio through asynchronous USB to my DAC (dcs puccini player and U-clock).
