Ok so I have used a USB dac with my laptop (HP DV9200) many times without issue. Just got my dacmagic and a mini optical cable. The laptop has a mini optical out. The computer came with conexant onboard sound. It has the latest drivers. I decided to give the optical a try.
I have the WASAPI and ASIO plugin and software. When WASAPI is selected no matter what the buffer length foobar doesn't even start to play a song.
With ASIO I get loud right channel static. I can hear the song in the background but this obviously isn't right.
When I use direct source output from foobar, which is supported by the sound card everything works fine. I pretty sure since the SPDIF is native that this is bit perfect but have no way of verifying this assumption.
Help out. Thanks.
