I bought a new USB DAC this week. It performs fine on the desktop, but doesn't work on the laptop.
The laptop has 4 usb ports and I've tried all 4. Although the machine recognises the DAC (as Burr-Brown Japan PCM2702), on playback of any sound (regardless if it's music via Foobar or just system sounds), all I get is crackling and hiss.
On the desktop it's all ok, apart from some background hiss on occassion. This is eliminated by switching the unit off and on again. Bit of an annoyance really.
Anyway, any suggestions on resolving the laptop issue? I bought it specifically for the laptop.
