Topic: Playback issue with RME ADI-2 DAC fs in foobar 2 64bit over ASIO in Wi

When I first boot into Windows, I can listen to music fine but something comes up, I stop the music, turn off the DAC and come back later. Then, sometimes, foobar refuses to play. There’s a chirp and blip on the spectrum analyzer which seems to sustain. No sound otherwise until I reboot. DAC works through Optical still. I have been down the AI troubleshooting rabbit hole and nothing worked. I should note that nothing WDM shows up in the RME driver and WASAPI exclusive mode never worked in Foobar. So here I am.

My setup:

  • Windows 11 // DAC is plugged directly into front USB slot on Beelink EQ12 using RME cable
    Foobar: v2.25.8 64bit; foo_out_asio 2.2.4 // Enable MMCSS is ON
    RME: ADI-2 DAC fs; Hardware Rev 81; Madiface driver 1.015 // Enable MMCSS is ON

Any ideas?

ADI-2 DAC fs, Windows 11

When you stop the music you have to exit Foobar. Otherwise Foobar's ASIO seems to crassh if you rob the hardware it still accesses (the DAC). Music stop is not the same as releasing the used hardware.

Thank you for the tip! Any idea why foobar never works in WASAPI? AI seems to think I should see options for WDM in the Madiface driver settings but either I don’t because something is wrong or because it’s making things up or referencing some version from long ago.

Check the number of active WDM devices in the settings dialog.

ADI-2 series driver does not offer this option.
