Topic: ADI-2 DAC FS RME Interface is not recognized after use Windows

I have Windows 11 all updates, I have the ADI-2 DAC fs, latest firmware, newest driver and software remote. I am using Jriver 33 and the Asio driver for the purpose of listening to DSD files. If I choose the Asio driver and bitstream it will play just fine (and I can continue to play anything I want but just until I stop) then if I go over to the windows list of installed interfaces the ADI is gone from my list. If I then go back into Jriver nothing will play in any format DSD Flac.Wav etc. I played around trying to cure this and the only way was to uninstall the ADi driver files. Then a fresh install needs a reboot and everything is fine and working. If I choose to play a DSD file the whole thing repeats and the driver must be uninstalled again. Still using Jriver I can play all the other formats and the driver stays working and recognized by windows. But I now know not to even try the DSD.

If i open another player like Strawberry music player I can open and play a DSD file that is being resampled to PCM at 384 so not native like the Asio driver is supposed to do but I do not have the option of Asio in the strawberry application.

Re: ADI-2 DAC FS RME Interface is not recognized after use Windows

The ADI vanishes at 768 kHz from the system as Windows audio stops at 384 kHz. You can't expect to have JRiver in that state (DSD256) and just change back to Windows Audio. The sample rate must be reset to 384 kHz or lower first.

I use JRiver with DSD regularly and never had this issue, most probably because I never leave it after a DSD256 playback.

Do you mean if you play a DSD256 file that you then play a file lower than 384 k and then leave the Jriver application and can use windows again?
UPDATE:
Thanks! That is exactly what I had to do, after playing DSD files switch to a regular flac or wav file windows would then have the RME back! No removing drivers and reinstalling or rebooting.

And it is not about 'DSD files' in general, but rare DSD files of DSD256. DSD64 or DSD128 wil not cause this issue due to lower sample rates used.
