Can't play ROON via USB connected DAC???


Recommended Posts

HI All,

Recently I noticed the SQ from my little work desk set up has turned to %^^$^.

On inspection I noticed that the sound was coming from the "internal speakers" & not my USB connected DAC (AUNE X1 DAC). Ok, so just change back to USB out via preferences!

Nope, it just keeps defaulting to "internal speakers"?

I've been into the MIDI set up & the same, I can't seem to prioritise USB output?

SQ via headphones seems fine?..just the damn speakers connected to the iMac via the Aune DAC.

 

I'm running highSierra 10.13.6

That is not so.  I can change my output device in Roon and, in fact, run more than one.

Windows will allow you to select devices other than the OS default in Roon that were once directly attached to use Roon, regardless of whether they are still attached/working or not... I try to avoid that "kick me" sign on the back.... better to use Windows audio panel to be sure the device is seen as active by the OS. Regardless the user is having a problem where he  appears to have used the Mac equivalent to audio panel and still can't get USB out to work. I suspect that the user can't get  music to play over any other music player on his Mac using his Aune device vs it only fails with Roon... he should try iTunes or other installed media player and see if it works with the Aune. I'd  swap USB cables at that point if other media players don't work just in case its simple bad USB cable. And of course the inevitable question, were device drivers updated recently for the Aune? if so perhaps fallback to prior version will fix the problem.

And if you have another machine you can use/borrow, test the Aune with that one. Most of troubleshooting is process of elimination,  swap around parts, identify which pieces are good, see if any change coincided with the failure, and through process of elimination isolate which piece is bad.

I keep doing this & it keeps changing to internal speakers?

ive even swapped out my Aune DAC/Headphone amp for the Pro-ject S2 Digital & it does the same?

 

It does sound better so maybe just a glitch but it’s giving me the willies!
