Hi Coen,

a couple of weeks ago I tried W10-10074 and installed the driver 1.03 and faced the same problem ( sample rate moving along all rates in a loop and never stops). The installation of 1.04 failed on that build.

With build 10240 the driver 1.04 installation suceeded and is  stable as a rock.

Hmmm,

Started the PC and no NOS1a in the driver panel appeared. Rebooted and it appeared again.
Saw the sample rate moving along all rates in a loop.
After starting XX and playing a track and the error message "failed to set sample rate" appeared. After two tries the music started playing. Imho this is about "catching" the right sample rate in the loop.

Now the music played, but shoot me I think it sounded pretty cr*p compared to the other day. Also later in the track there seem to be hiccups in the music. I also saw some kernel streaming errors.

regards, Coen

p.s. the was in normal OS mode still.

I faced the same problem then i installed Win10 - 10074.
My solution:  Onboard HD Audio must be enabled in bios during installation of Win10 - 10074.

I first installed 10074 with Onboard HD Audio disabled in bios. No audio driver active. After installing the Phasure usb-driver I got the same problems as quoted above.

After several attempts i tried to enable the Onboard HD Audio in the bios. I then installed 10074. Standard audio drivers  for audio was automatically installed. After this i installed the Phasure usb-driver and all worked fine.

Maybe there must be an audiodriver up and working in 10074 before the Phasure USB-driver can be properly installed?

I tried to download the 10586-iso now and got the 10240-iso instead.

From Windows tenforums:  "UPDATE: The downloadable ISO files at Microsoft in the tutorial have gone back to RTM build 10240. "

.... or at least I just noticed them. Listening to Bach organ music Fantasia in A Minor the sustained organ notes show up "ticks" modulating the music. I can reduce the frequency by increasing SFS so I guess they are associated with the SFS tick problem. But they are only noticeable with loudish music as soon as the volume drops they disappear. At least that is the way it sounds to me. The problem does not disappear when engine #4 is stopped before starting playback. Maybe organ music shows this up more than other music because of the sustained organ notes I have not otherwise noticed it with other music.

Paul
Yes, I hear these ticks with same type of music. Playing the album Aura by Miles Davis, the ticks are almost as loud as the music sometimes, even with version 8c.

The ticks sure were still there (see other topic). Were, because since last night they are not anymore.
Not here. Happy

Peter

Waiting for new version ..... Happy ....

5  Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: For z8 only --> intermediate tracks do not finish playing on: June 06, 2012, 06:23:10 am


........, sometimes, not always, and never with the first track, intermediate tracks do not finish playing.  Instead, playback continues with the next song.

....  What happened is that the fourth song played unitl 50 seconds and then skipped to the fifth song, which then played for 50 seconds and then skipped to the sixth song,  etc.


This is something I experiences also in unattended mode, but only then playing hirez 24b files.
Then an album is loaded into playlist and starts playing, 1st track plays OK, but the following tracks never finish, but skippes to the next track after 1 min +-.
 BUT if you start playing, hit alt-x, stops playing, then starts again, every track finish playing.

7  Ultimate Audio Playback / Playback Tweaks and Source related subjects / Re: HOW I´VE BUILT MY NEW PC FOR XXHIGHEND AND WHY I´VE CHOSEN THE COMPONENTS on: May 07, 2012, 11:39:41 am
My PC for XXHighend:

This PC is built foremost for no noise. No fans are used. 
SQ I think is good, the best until now for me,  but I don`t have any good references to compare with so I don`t know.
I am connecting the Phasure NOS1 to the USB 3.0 port with USB 2.0 cabel.

Processor:
Intel Core i5-2400 Processor at 3.1GHz, 4 cores, no HT, Sandy Bridge, Socket 1155.

Motherboard:
ASUS P8Z77-V LX. Z77 chipset with integrated USB 3.0 from intel.

Memory:
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 16GB

Cooling:
No fans are used.

CPU cooler:
Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler used without fans. (I use 1 fan under installing/heavy CPU work, the fan is not needed when playing music.)

Discs:
OS Disc: Western Digital SATAIII WD10EZRX  1000GB (Low power, low heat and quiet)
Music Disc: Western Digital SATAII WD AV-GP 2TB (Low power, low heat and quiet)

(DVD/Blueray drive only connected during installing OS.)     

Power supply:
Seasonic X-400 Gold Fanless.

Graphics: Internal Intel IGP (clocked minimum)

Case:
Fractal Design Define R3. No fans are used. It has room for two topmounted fans, but i open up without any fans, so the heat can go up and out. Cold air from the floor will be sucked up through the bottom of the case when the heat from the cpu/Discs/PSu vents out on the top.

Operating system:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit sp1 installed directly from Microsoft DVD. No update's applied.

Mouse on PS2-port, and keyboard on USB.
