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.

I reinstalled the 1.04 driver, rebooted and the driver showed the last sample rate without looping to others sample rate. Sound seems still improvable and I experienced some hiccups (and errors). I wonder what happens in one of the next boots.

regards, Coen

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

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.

I installed the 1.04 driver as well.
However, the samplerate cycling persists until I start playback in XXHighend.
Sometimes playback needs to be restarted several times until things work.

Also as mentioned before, Windows sound does not work with either driver, so for the time being, XXHighend is the only player I can use under Windows 10 (build 10074).

Hopefully, we all soon know if the current Win10 build is also as good in SQ as the 10074 build so we can potentially switch to a regular Win10 version.

thanks for the replies,

I just booted again and no NOS1 present in the driver panel. Replugging the USB does not make a difference.

Does this all work when at Min OS?

Coen, did you "re-mangle" with that Driver Signing field ?
What is the status of it now ? ONLY APPLY THE REFRESH (go further and you will be changing the status at the next reboot).

Take it that if you don't have this reliably working in Normal OS that I don't see how it will work for the better in MinOS.
But then I don't have problems with it anyway (and by now I did quite some installs (different PC's and different NOS1a's)).

Let me know.

Hi Peter,

No messing around with the "driver needs not be signed". I wouldn't dare!

Rebooted four times just only checking if the NOS1 was in the panel. NOS1 was there each time. I also did a reboot after playing some tracks in XXHE, no problem either.

Much better SQ returned so this was no imagination.

Don't know what causes the NOS1 not to appear in the panel or mess with the sound, let's hope it stays this way. Maybe my previous installs of 1.03 and 1.04 messed the OS up under the hood or something. Whatever.

regards, Coen

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?

Hey Harald,

Very coincidentally I just saw this happening myself at someone's PC;

So you see this "looping" and when you next choose a(nother) buffer size, it stops and all is fine.

For me I it stopped when I went into MinOS.  Drove me half nuts before then...but I had not turned off driver signing for that installation so perhaps that had something to do with it as well.

In the particular case I just experienced, Driver Signing was Off.

One thing to be complete : I reinstalled the Driver because it had stopped working (Streaming prepared but Not Running). And then I experienced this behavior (after replugging the NOS1a).

This was NormalOS and W10-10565.
