dallasjustice Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Where is it? I thought Jriver 20 would include a WDM sound device. This would be really nice when streaming spotify. I know I should post questions like this on yabb.jriver but I preferred a more balanced response. This is a long over due and was the primary reason for me to upgrade to 20. I currently use the VB audio ASIO Bridge/HIFI cable. It works fine but I'd rather use something a bit more reliable. THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX Link to comment
Matt Ashland Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Hi. The WDM driver isn't released yet, but hopefully it will be in a couple months. We have most of the code working today, but the install routine is gross and we'd like to smooth it out. It'll be pretty amazing once it's there -- any source played through the JRiver engine with the full suite of DSP available. Matt Ashland, JRiver Link to comment
dallasjustice Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Thanks Matt. This will make streaming a real breeze. Eg. Netflix, Spotify, WIMP. Hi.

Matt Ashland Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 We're getting closer to release. The driver installs nicely and is in beta now. Hopefully it'll be public in a couple weeks. Matt Ashland, JRiver Link to comment
ted_b Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yes, as silly as this example of WDM sounds, I am watching Breaking Bad in upsampled DSD64 on Netflix (i.e listening to it through my home office headphones using JRMC20 beta, exaSound e28 and WDM; the lip synch is a little off but not the point; I can fix that with a myriad of JRiver tools).

We are close!! Ted, I learned a little trick with Netflix regarding lip sync. Your audio is prolly delayed a bit which is causing the lip sync issue. The Netflix player does have a way to dial in the video delay to compensate for lip sync. This is a big issue for me since I use ACOURATE FIR filters which introduce substantial delay. It takes a little trial and error but I got the video delayed such that everything feels natural. I wish Jriver had a video delay feature for live TV. I use an mocur cablecard via Jriver and the video delay is disabled in Jriver for some reason. :-( THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX Link to comment
gocubs42 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Will WDM work on both platforms Windows and IMAC? This sound fantastic Link to comment
Matt Ashland Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 It's alive: WDM driver [New Feature] And the build: Media Center 20.0.25 for Windows -- Available here Matt Ashland, JRiver Link to comment
gocubs42 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Congratulations to everyone at JRiver, this is a game changer. I have to believe this will give some folks who have plans on streamer box purchases some pause. I hope you have a way to pull this off for the IMAC folks. I'm not asking.....I'm begging!!

dallasjustice Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Thanks Matt and team Jriver! It installed automatically and works beautifully! THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX Link to comment
lmf22 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Works great on my Windows 7 Professional desktop computer! This is a great feature. What should the sample rate in the WDM drivers be set to? The sample rate of the source material? For example, for Spotify, set to 24-bit, 44100 Hz? For YouTube videos, set to 48000 Hz?

Well I suppose the best is to use a piece of software the sets the sample rate before playback. However, that's not realistic for web content. In that case, I think either choice is fine. Works great on my Windows 7 Professional desktop computer! This is a great feature. Thanks for the kinds words. Matt Ashland, JRiver Link to comment
Matt Ashland Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Just a gentle bump since the WDM driver is now public. Matt Ashland, JRiver Link to comment

jriver Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 It's currently on the MC20 board. It should be moved to the download page next week. Version 20.0.27 or above will work. Jim Hillegass / JRiver Media Center / jriver.com Link to comment
bibo01 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Question: if I use WDM sound device, can I choose any audio backend within JRiver, for ex. ASIO? Thanks in advance How curious are you? Link to comment
Kal Rubinson Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Question: if I use WDM sound device, can I choose any audio backend within JRiver, for ex. ASIO?Thanks in advance More complicated issue: Can I choose DiracLive as my output from JRMC (and that, in turn, uses an ASIO device driver)?

jriver Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It makes MC look like a driver in Windows, so that Windows or any other software can play to it. This is new. Once the sound has been directed to MC, you're only limited by what devices MC can address. That hasn't changed. Jim Hillegass / JRiver Media Center / jriver.com Link to comment

Once the sound has been directed to MC, you're only limited by what devices MC can address. That hasn't changed. Hi JRiver, Can the sound played through MC via its audio WDM be redirected to a UPnP/DLNA renderer connected to the same network - via UPnP push and/or pull modes? Also, are there plans to provide a similar audio driver for OS X in the near future? Thanks John We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us. -- Jo Cox Link to comment
Matt Ashland Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Hi Cebolla. It's not possible to use the WDM driver to play to a UPnP device. Maybe someday, but it's a little tricky. Mac is on the horizon, but we haven't started on it yet. So there's no expected date yet. Matt Ashland, JRiver Link to comment
ShaneT Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 What are the correct settings to enable WDM driver? I set JRiver MC 20 as the default in the audio devices, JRiver shows lpc and it appears to be "playing" but I have no sound output to laptop speakers. Do I need to change some settings in MC? I running windows 8.1 lost... Thank You Link to comment
