Ethernet streaming and occasional white noise on Windows

[Sylvain27]

So a clock sync problem? Maybe there's a bug in WASAPI. It wouldn't really be a surprise. I seem to remember there was a problem with USB DACs stuttering a couple of years ago which I think was traced to a WASAPI bug.

I only have the white noise problem with the AIR driver and WASAPI, not when using WASAPI with USB. Even if there is a bug in WASAPI, Devialet should try to create a workaround in the AIR code and avoid saying "not our problem - it's WASAPI's fault". While they wait for Microsoft to fix WASAPI their users get all the trouble. Isn't the noise problem present on Mac OS too? If so, WASAPI is not the problem.

I certainly don't have any problems with OS X streaming using AIR via wi-fi or ethernet even after streaming for several hours.

Thanks. Very interesting. If the noise problem is not present on OS X Devialet should definitely state this on their web site and inform us on what they have found.

Hello,
I agree with you. I have discovered the white noise problem as I was trying AIR, I had never heard of this problem before and the discovery was very unpleasant because the music was played loud. I would have liked to be warned by Devialet as this problem has been known for several months
Best regards,
Sylvain
