Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

[almarti]

Don't worry, I realise that you were not dissing Chord.
I think that i have read two or three posts, mentioning issues with the driver for the Windows 10 update.
Interestingly the issue gives the appearance that the root cause is not that the driver code does not work, but that the signature has not been registered.

Sorry, but I cannot remember anyone posting a solution.

I am suffering from this problem too.
Using HP Spectre 13 Windows 10 64-bit
If you find the solution, please share it. Thanks

BTW, does anyone get periodic clicks with Mojo.
When mine is plugged into Windows laptop i get ever so slight ticks every now and then. Actually annoying.

mojo vs idsd bl: how close are they in sound quality? Been really liking idsd bl with hd 650 but cant keep it beacuse sound dropping isues with my tv which is my main usage area.

BL is not as good imo.

Sounds like a USB problem to me, what player are you using and do you have ASIO enabled?

I actually like the BL a little better than the Mojo, lol. I have both. IMO, Mojo is more musical but BL is more detailed. Using with SE846 and IE800 IEMs

Its a smidgen brighter but not more detailed, Mojo has the better transients and timbre.

There was a post recently on the Hugo 2 thread, where the problem was that installing the new driver, caused Windows to reset the default sound settings, to output through speakers and not the dac. The solution was to reset the sound output setting, to the dac.

I have it too, when using mojo with youtube or tidal. With foobar (and ASIO) it is dead silent.

Imo idsd bl did make my hd 650 sound very clear and detailed without being harsh, never heard voices that clear before. And the sound stage width was great. Bass digged deep to.

My problem is the famous warning triangle in the Device Management App advising Windows 10 is not able to check the digital signature of the driver and as a consequence, the Chord Audio is not shown in the list of available audio devices
Do you know how to fix this? Thanks

Do you know if I need to install both drivers, the generic Windows 10 and the Creators one? If so, in which order? Really I don't know what Creators refers to

The Generic Windows Driver does not contain an ASIO driver. The mojo creators update is the latest driver published by chord that is needled for the creators update to windows 10 1(703 branch). you get that from chord. The generic driver should auto install. you need to do a manual install of the other (Mojo creators update)

Yes, same setting like yours. In tidal, youtube or any other system sounds. I think this is actually a rather serious flaw.

The creators driver version doesnt work with Mojo.

When my Mojo arrives today I will test it out, but judging by the package for the drivers, it looks like an update and you install them over the original driver package
