Hey guys, I will spend some time to try the new driver and firmware on Monitor 01 US/USD and 02 US. Then, I will post a more comprehensive howto here.

It also seems from the note that they are developing a "digital turntable" which I think is a memory player? (is that right jkenny?) and maybe it won't be able to communicate to the musiland device without the firmware upgrade. It is good to see chinese products protect their IP (this in turn will educate people in respecting others IP). I think it is progress in the right direction.

I disagree. I'm very strongly against DRM in all forms, and even more so on hardware drivers, as it makes developing open drivers more difficult. Just my personal feelings about it though.

Ok I did that mailing and received my License.key. Wrote it to EEPROM with MlCyMonProg.exe, restarted/uninstalled/reinstalled etc and it still says invalid license. What now?

I followed the instructions posted here and it all works OK with the driver BUT ASIO output from MediaMonkey is completely borked - no sound at all. Waveoutput from MediaMonkey works as does sound from VLC

I won't be very happy to pay to fix a designed in problem (I suppose the sample rate error is considered acceptable), but I'll wait to see the cost.

Just to add ASIO only does not work in Foobar either

I managed to upgrade my USD successfully. The new interface has more info than the previous one. Here is the process:

1. Disconnect Monitor from system
2. Uninstall your old driver
3. Install 1.0.5
4. Restart
5. Reconnect your USD/US
6. You will get Invalid License. Download the
http://www.musiland.com.cn/downloads...MlCyMonAct.zip
7. Unpack to a directory, said MICyMonAct
8. Run MlCyMonUser.exe
9. Send email to activate@musiland.com.cn, attaching License.dat from step 8 plus your Model number and Serial number
10. You will get license.key in return, place it in MICyMonAct
11. Run MlCyMonProg.exe
12. Restart and should be fine from there

Good luck.

Musiland has re-released the new driver. Reinstalling the driver (if you have already updated the firmware) will resolve the ASIO issue.

Yes, in my setup all seems work well and ok with foobar and asio, now I don't are sure but to me the driver seems to make an improvement on sound quality.

How do you register to that official forums? It asks a security question in Chinese and then a CAPTCHA. I can write the correct information from the pic but I don't understand the security question.

UPDATE: Tried again and now the security questions answer was Musiland so I could join
