White noise/static/glitches when connected to Chord Mojo 2 via USB (Win 11 64-bit)

…but, as I have explained earlier, when I replace ** Audirvana ** with foobar2000 there are zero issues with playback when playing PCM (up to 192kHz) and DSD (64, 128, 256), which is why it leads me to troubleshoot the combination with Audrvana in the chain.

How do I disable ‘Integer Mode’?

Disable ‘Exclusive Access’

In the case of DSD files, disable DoP… change Native DSD streaming method to ‘None, convert to PCM’ Chord DACs decimate DSD files to PCM internally and up-convert to high sample-rate multi-bit PCM for output.

If it is a conflict with the Chord driver and Audirvāna, then Chord must be made aware, as you see here, that the Audirvāna team has not found reason to step into this thread as they have already, with other Chord devices found in the “Plāys With Audirvāna”

Do you mean “click the lock icon in Audirvana” - if so, then that stops playback, which doesn’t help.

Have switched off Exclusive access via Windows Sound Settings as seen below, but it doesn’t make a difference since Audirvana reverts to exclusive access on playback:

Again no joy, the symptoms are exactly the same as before. Also, I did visit the page linked to above (and then on to the one relevant to the Mojo 2), and, at first, used the settings recommended therein.

Further, I believe the ASIO driver is common to all Chord DACs, which is probably why the model name doesn’t appear when ‘Debug Info’, is generated, but it does for WASAPI settings since that driver is specific to the model.

Do you not see in the DAC settings pop-up window? This is where the ‘Exclusive Access’ setting is found…

You will need to ask yourself why the many Audirvāna users employing a Chord DAC in their system, are not experiencing the same behaviors.

Since your using ethernet/UPnP try Kernel Streaming… That’s what I use… :+1:
Wait did I read that dump wrong?
