I got this long winded response from VIA but it does end with good news for us Windows 8 users.
 
"Hello,
 
VIA provides Windows 8 audio drivers for VIA audio chips that meet the Windows Logo Premium requirements, which can be found at the driver portal. These are general sound effects drivers with common functions. System manufacturers and motherboard vendors customize audio hardware and software, so to ensure optimal sound quality and compatibility, we strongly recommend you obtain the system-validated and certified audio drivers directly from your system manufacturer or motherboard manufacturer, not from VIA.
The following VIA audio solutions do not meet the Windows Logo Premium requirements and therefore are supported by Microsoft's in-box audio support:

1. VIA Vinyl HD audio: VT1708, VT1708A 
2. VIA Vinyl AC'97 audio codecs: VT1612A, VT1613, VT1616/B, VT1617/A, VT1618
3. VIA AC'97 integrated solutions in the following VIA South Bridge chips: VT82C686A/B, VT8231, VT8233/AC, VT8235 & VT8237/R, VT8251

If your system uses one of these VIA audio solutions and you are having audio issues using Windows 8 (32- or 64-bit), it is recommended that you install a sound card which has Windows Logo Premium driver support under Windows 8.
Note: Later versions of the VIA Vinyl VT1708 family of HD audio codecs, denoted by letter suffixes e.g. VT1708B, VT1708S, do meet Windows Logo Premium, and drivers for Windows 8 can be downloaded from this site.
Windows 8 drivers for the Envy24 line of audio chips (Envy24 MT/DT/GT/PT/HT-S and VT1723) are under development.

The VT1731 is curiously absent from the list but it is  Envy chip so hopefully that list is not exclusive.  

Thanks for this info!
 
Maybe Kingwa can make some force to VT1731 be included...
 
This kind of stuff makes me...

I`ve bought DI-V3 to work with USB+EDO, after weeks gave up and plug it by coax. Then decided to buy a laptop, new one, touch screen - to replace SBT - and you know how the story ended
But DI-V3 has - as it's said on their website - the lowest jitter in the world. I must have bad luck

 

[Kingwa]

Is there only one version SBT in world?
I heard someone said now the new SBT have based on WIN8?

DI-V3 is my first converter, but I like it a lot.
 
The problem is the VIA driver that doesn't support Win 8 and must be optimized to support lower buffers...
 
It seems Kingwa have bad luck with other company drivers... This must be corrected in the future...

my DI v3 works in Win8/64 on usb3.0  TI chipset perfectly.
 
but, yes, being unable to set a low buffer is a problem for me

Do you have ASIO working on Win8 64bit?
Only worked for me first time I install it, then after reboot and re-installs...

 

[kr0gg]

no. i couldn't make ASIO work at all

Dear Kingwa.
There is only one SBT - Logitech Squeezebox Touch. This does not use windows at all,but is a linux based audio streamer.

So you also have problems with Windows 8...
 
Report that to Kingwa, so we can get more info about this...

Dear,
 
Do you know where I can found the software that read the version of the firmware chip?
I have two version of the firmware, and I don't know which version they are.
 
Thanks in advance and good listening

I didn't have issue on Windows 8 64bits as soon as I installed the correct driver for my firmware (1.22).
ASIO worked flawlessly on JRiver using the VIA "ASIO emulator".

 

[kr0gg]

ASIO emulator uses KS
it is not ASIO at all

I know.
Are there any alternative?
 
Kernel streaming is fine with me, so is WASAPI Event style.

 

[kr0gg]

you know that ASIO doesn't work in your case too, but you write that it does.
seems kinda strange to me
