I have a question about making sure you are using the WDM driver as opposed to Direct Sound in Windows 10 with the Modi Multibit. It is to my understanding that the traditional only way you can get the WDM to be used is to have an application that can take exclusive control of the Modi and use the WDM driver instead of going through direct sound. Applications like Tidal and Jriver seem to be able to do this and provide really good sound. However at least in my case when I give Tidal exclusive control over the Modi I don't get any sounds from anything else. This is fine when all I am doing is listening to music but when I am multitasking or working this becomes a problem. The only way I have found so far around all of this is to download VB-Audio Voicementer Bananna but I am not sure that It is actually doing me any good. In the voicemeeter software it creates it's own virtual inputs and outputs that show up in the windows sound panel and you can set it to the default input and output of your OS and then have it take control of the Modi but it seems like it can only do 96k max. Not bad but not the full potential of the Modi. It also doesn't seem to sound quite as good as giving Tidal exclusive to the Modi, but I do think it sounds a bit better than using direct sound. Is there a better solution out there than this? Seems like you either have the option of lower quality sound and a normal working system or higher quality sound but you can only listen to sound from one application.
