Is your KA3 working in Exclusive USB Audio Access Mode？ If so, try it out in normal mode. And tell me what happened.
[KA3/KA13] FIIO X JADEAUDIO USB DAC DONGLE
- Thread starter FiiO
- Start date
Thanks for the reply. I'm using the Qobuz app, which (I'm pretty sure) doesn't have exclusive USB access.
hello everyone, first post here (apologize for my english and mistakes).
I have just own a fiio ka3. I use Qobuz with hi-res streaming. My goal is to send the music in past-through mode as most as possible to the dac. I use a windows 10 laptop (dell latitude 5400) and android phone (fairphone 3).
I have upgrade the ka3 firmware and use the fiio usb driver.
My questions/problems now
* in windows, in the qobuz application, I use the wasapi (exclusive mode). I have some scratch and sometimes blank (1sec) in the music => very annoying, the qobuz team has check things and will come back to me with informations.
* in android, the ka3 light is always yellow, even if the music is 16bits 44,1khz => that means there is a modification in the stream.
Do you have any idea with this 2 cases ?

My KA3 does this too, the sound just turns off for a second during games/music

--Is your KA3 working in Exclusive USB Audio Access Mode or normal mode? If work in normal mode，Maybe your phone will SRC.

--other application have this problems?
For me at least on Windows 11 sound just disappears for maybe less than a second a few times every hour. This was never happening before I started using KA3. Doesn't matter what settings i put in Fiio Control app.

Yop Fiio Kang,
For android, do not know, I'm using the qobuz application. I download uapp (bying it in fact !), and it works like expected... But it just works with this application, we should have something like a driver to make the ka3 working with every application.
For windows, I do not to make a try with other application, I test it and give you the feedback.
For agobe, I have put my ka3 very close to my phone on my desk, and receiving a message, I get the bip bip bip (not the sound for the message, but the sound of interference) in my headphone.

Yop,
idem with the spotify application, some blanks ... but for me it every 1-2 minutes !

I'm thinking it's Windows trying to turn off USB devices to save power, i disabled this feature for every USB i could find in device manager. Now listening to some music to see if it fixed the sound blanks.
@Foogley, I make a try, and still the same : scratch and blanks
I really need a constant streaming option for Windows. If windows always sends out the same sample rate you set in audio settings why does the sound pop and what's the point of hardware mute switch and why does KA3 sometimes just stop working. I'm at a point of trying to run a silent mp3 file to force "constant streaming". It's very annoying.
I made a 10 hour mp3 file that plays complete silence and popping/fading in is gone. This is not how a ~$100 device should function.

Turning off "Hardware mute switch" fixed the popping sound issue completely for me.
Yes, but when you get a notification sound in Discord for example it doesn't play or it plays like half of it in the process of fading in.
