Problems with Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus

Connection with external Audio Devices
1

Hello there,
Am new to Audirvana for Windows and am testing the 30 day version. I Instaled it on my Windows 10 pc, everything went fine until I went to connect it to my device. One option was over my network to my tv, the other was 1. to my av amp and 2. to my CA DacMagic Plus. I also had a WASAPI and ASIO option. When I selected ASIO it would only connect to the tv and when I selected WASAPI and my DAC I got sound for a second and then went silent. I tried WASAPI again and selected my av amp and still nothing, Iā€™d rather it sent the signal to the DAC, am new to all this and any help would be great.

Thanks
Peter

Any help folks, tried everything now and still no sound??

Can you dump the debug info here while connected to the DacMagic?

Hello Bitracerā€¦ unfortunately I am not very technically minded and new to all thisā€¦how would I do that?

Thanks
Peter

Hello @PeterD, can you send me a copy of the ā€œDebug Infoā€? You can get it in Audirvana Settings>General>Debug Info

Note: By clicking on the Debug Info Audirvana button automatically copies all its content, all you have to do is paste it in response to this message

Hello @PeterD, i canā€™t see your DAC selected, does it is connected to your computer?

Hello thereā€¦ yes it is, there are two options, the amp and the CA DAC, if I select either I still do not get any sound.

Keep only the DAC connected via USB. Disconnect the other device.

Install the latest CA driver:

You might want to upgrade the firmware too, if you didnā€™t already:

The other device is my amp, which is connected via phono and HDMI, if I disconnect the HDMI I will not be able to see or use my Windows 10 pc?

I donā€™t see your USB DAC in the device found by Audirvana below :point_down:
