Devialet AIR sound settings (Windows)

[Lilitti]

Hello,

I connected my Devialet 120 with AIR and I noticed that in the sound settings there are strange unticked "Device specific" items with hex codes.
What are they for?



I also noticed that the highest bitrate setting (24 bit / 192 KHz) causes the AIR app to switch to "Disable Devialet AIR" after a few seconds, while 24 bit / 96 KHz works properly. Is that normal?

Thank you very much for your help

Bump Any clue?
Thanks

Possibly because relatively few use Devialet's virtual sound card driver here at DC - for the very same reasons you notice, it's not reliable. If you use Roon the built-in AIR is much more reliable. Other than that a Raspberry 3 or 4 with a SPDIF HAT or a 4 if you want to use USB is the way to go for a low priced high quality streamer.

What buffer setting are you using?  (In the "unlock advanced settings" section of the AIR app on the computer)

It is a long time since I used AIR but I recall that the app would disable if the buffer was too large.  This might not be your issue, but worth a double check.

I use a 1000 ms buffer (the default value). I tried 100 ms but it's the same.
If I enable those options and try to move the sliders, the hex values go to zero and stay there regardless of the position of the sliders.
I will drop an e-mail to Devialet support and report back

Thanks

Yes, it should work fine at 100ms or 1000ms, I think it was the 2000ms to 3000ms range that I found problematic.

Good luck with Devialet support!

Devialet support has no clue about those sliders.
Regarding the 24 / 192 there may be not enough bandwidth with the 2.4 GHz WiFi. Not a big deal since I use it 99% over USB
