hi Akbaar, there is no default MS driver for this, that’s why they paid Thesycon for one, but the bundled one (version 224) lacks direct dsd support, yet there is newer version 4.11 which does it all, but makes noises every now and then as it’s not licenced.
Perhaps no one would pay again for the new driver to be used on old board but as they already paid for initial one, maybe Thesycon could offer that upgrade at reasonable conditions…

doesn’t pass dsd? I see dsd:asio option in foobar2000 after installed it, and can play dsd file by foobar.

this would be way cool!
it’s not a coincidence thesycon was developing the driver further - there was stuff to do!
@suwey it can be that foobar’s dsd asio plugin manages to shove dsd data over pcm packets. i checked the documentation and there is a lot of stuff foobar’s dsd / sacd plugins can do. however, we seem to be after ‘vanilla’ dsd pipeline without pcm encapsulation… and thesycon made it available with the newer-than-official drivers for the Toneboard.

would you explain this to me, because am not understanding what he means,
because the ASIO is not active
hi @AKBAAR!
By “DAW” Ute means “program utilising asio driver”.
i’ve tested this driver out and it doesn’t work with BugHead player! Although the asio device name scan goes through and it shows all samplerates including dsd up to 22M from this driver, on an attempt to start the player it gives ASIO INIT ERROR - The driver could not be initialized. So you may tell Ute that BugHead player doesn’t like this version.
Also I have checked it with WaveLab 6 in ASIO (pcm) mode and it’s working fine.
The best driver seems to be XMOS_TUSBAudio_eval_v4.11.0 so far
… and now i’m back to official Thesycon-Stereo-USB-Audio-Driver-v224… it announces all the dsd support too, and does not give an error in BugHead on driver opening, yet the tracks can’t be played (unsupported rate it says)… maybe Ute can look into it, why both 224 and 4.82 have issues while 4.11 is OK.

same here, when i play spotify music on 384khz is says unsupported
or if i try to play movies on the same signal sound dont work.
Honestly if i knew the driver support would be that bad for this product i probably wouldn’t have chosen it… To late now though so all i can hope is that they do register the new drivers and we can get good audio.
i’d say the newest eval driver is no better than an official old one, it’s just 4.11 that seems to be the one to behave flawlessly
maybe @AKBAAR could persuade Ute / thesycon to release a non-demo 4.11 for us hehe.

No luck trying to convince anyone?
no luck, also am still trying to get ASIO to run,
and another thing I cant get spotify premium to run on 384khz on khadas tone
But when downed to 192khz it would play…
what do you think the problem?
i even cant play movies on 384khz.

On the older driver it was capped at 192khz so perhaps the firmware doesnt actually support it given it was meant for that driver.
