Hi everyone,
I’m using MacAir 2015 8GB with Mojave 10.14.6. I’ve play DSD files through USB with SMSL SU-8 with no problems until last evening. Suddenly Audirvana doesn’t play any sound even though I can see the playing bar is counting seconds.
Here is my Debug info.
Please help. Thank you all.

Hello @h3nrymed,
You have no music content synced with Audirvana, can you try to add a folder and play to your SMSL?
Actually I play from my external HDD. I just drag a file from my HDD to “Playing list” then play it.
Everything works fine until last evening as I said in my first comment.
When I drag a DSD file into Playing list and hit play, the second counts but there was no sound. When I change to “Convert to PCM” then I can hear the music but with extremely loud noise accompanied.
I don’t know if it was the recent Mojave update pack or some software I installed recently.
Have you tried to remove the mute during sample rate change? You need to go in the audio output setting in Studio to deactivate it.
I tried to turn off the “Mute…” but nothing changed. Still no sound with DSD file.
When you have this issue, does the SMSL overheat? Do you have a different DAC that support DSD?
Thanks for your support. I have tried to reinstalled MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 and everything works smoothly again.
Maybe it was due to some softwares that I installed recently.
