    Question How do I get my sound working through my DAC? Need some advice!

    After everything, I'd tried J river again, but the same as with Foobar2000. Went into the BIOS, disabled HD Audio (from MSI), rebooted, nothing. Turned it back on, played with the amp/dac input/output settings a bit, only to realize the amp was set on 'SE' instead of 'BAL'. Right. That was the...

    Question How do I get my sound working through my DAC? Need some advice!

    Haha, thanks for the replies everyone. I'll try J River today, although I don't think it'll make that much of a difference, seeing as I don't want to keep running an audio player to be able to get sound through the DAC. @nads the amp and dac are connected with the topping tcx1 cables, both...

    Question How do I get my sound working through my DAC? Need some advice!

    Yeah; when I switch on the DAC, it automatically becomes the default and tries to play through the DAC. When I turn it off, the AMP takes over again.

    Question How do I get my sound working through my DAC? Need some advice!

    Absolutely agree. Having sound in just Foobar is obviously quite useless, but I know the sound from the DAC does work now, which gives peace of mind. I'll look into some local audio specialists to help me out virtually or in person, as I simply don't currently have the knowledge of getting...

    Question How do I get my sound working through my DAC? Need some advice!

    It's interesting; deselecting the ASIO: Topping USB audio device and selecting the ASIO foo_dsd_asio made sound work in Foobar, but as soon as I selected it in the output screen, it started playing sound. Out of this list, only the ASIO : ASIO4ALL v2 ones play sound in Foobar2000 for me. No...

    Question How do I get my sound working through my DAC? Need some advice!

    Interesting. Downloaded ASIO4ALL to see if I'd get any sound. Having all the ASIO options selected: I'm getting sound, but only playing an .mp3 I downloaded to test within foobar2000. Through ASIO4ALL v2: \ Opening the interface gets me the following: The follow-up question now is, since...

    Question How do I get my sound working through my DAC? Need some advice!

    Should be the same now: With everything selected correctly (I think), and the right drivers installed, still no sound. Would the 'ASIO not active' have anything to do with it? @Friesiansam, I've tried all the options with the Topping DAC in the list and none of them produce any sound...

    Question How do I get my sound working through my DAC? Need some advice!

    I followed the installation guide initially, and have all the components installed for it to be able to work. I've gone through all the steps you listed several times, but no good unfortunately. Although a small step, I've been able to produce sound for the first time through the DAC. Using a...

    Question How do I get my sound working through my DAC? Need some advice!

    No progress yet, unfortunately. Made sure I had the right Topping driver: And also downloaded Foobar2000 with the installation wizard, but still no sound. I'm sure it's a settings/drivers thing, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. Any chance screenshot below has anything to do with...

    Thank you, I'll give this a shot tonight!

    Question How do I get my sound working through my DAC? Need some advice!

    Haha, no worries at all. I've downloaded the Topping drivers, updated both the amp and dac to their latest firmware and have selected my output device to be 'Topping USB DAC' (this was 'Topping D70 Pro Sabre' before the driver install). Windows recognizes the DAC, there is volume being displayed...

    Question How do I get my sound working through my DAC? Need some advice!

    I'm unsure of what you mean; would I need specific software to be able to hear sounds, and then troubleshoot from there? Youtube, Spotify and other software I've tried haven't been able to produce sound so far. Or are you referring to specific drivers software?

    Question How do I get my sound working through my DAC? Need some advice!

    Hello everyone, I'd recently decided I wanted some better audio gear, moving a step up from my Beyerdynamic DT 770's and my Schiit Magni Heresy. I decided on some Hifiman Arya Stealths, with the Topping A70 & D70 Pro's. I got the amp in the mail first, connected it with a mini rca cable...
