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

I'm certain this will end up being something really simple. Unfortunately I'm not clever enough with PCs to see what is Really hope you get this sorted and let us know what the solution was when you do

With the DAC switched on, have you checked the Windows sound applet, to make sure your DAC is the default output? Whether I have my Pathos amp switched on or, the Chord Mojo, they are the default output for Windows sound, that being everything except the output from Foobar2000, for which the Pathos is the one set.

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.

You could try uninstalling Foobar2000 and make a fresh install, sometimes this works.
Or disband it all together and try JRiver, it's free for 30 days.

If it works for you, you can decide if you want to keep it.
I think it costs £50 to purchase the licence, its less bothersome and worth the extra costs.

Decent call Jason, but none of us can understand why Yoran is having these issues. He doesn't actually need a media player to get his DAC to work, both Sam and I can use our DACs without a media player acting as an intermediary. This has me dumbfounded, but I must admit it doesn't take much cos I'm not that clever to start with
