I have a strange thing happening.  I am using a Schit Modi/Magni stack, and am completely satisfied with it, and I use it exclusively when listening on my PC.  Lately, when I listen to my music, it is obviously too fast.  A reboot will take care of it, but anyone know what is going on here, and what a solution might be?
 
My PC is home built, with an MSI motherboard with onboard audio.  Running WIN 8.1, and not much in control panel that I can see for sound settings.    It does show for "speaker", USB Modi device.
 
Thanks

Whatever program your using to play audio files, see if there is an update for it.
Or try using a different program for playing your audio files, maybe Foobar2000?

Some music player programs have pitch control which does that, but even one that does won't just start like that. This kind of thing is manually selected. Try to update your player program. Did you just switch to Windows 10? New OS usually have these problems at the start while other programs catch up.

Does onboard audio suffer of this same issue?
 
Usually it's a question between 44.1kHz and 48kHz (~10% speed change). Are you using Windows drivers ? Do you resample at some point? How do you set the samplerate for **** Modi and does it match with source samplerate and system selection?
 
It's also possible that there is a hardware failure in Modi.

I have heard it both listening to Spotify, using the Spotify player, and using Music Bee.  I will double check when it happens again, but it seems to affect every program I use.
 
At first I thought it might be the amp/dac, but all I have to do is reboot my PC to fix it.  I can leave the Schitt stack alone.
 
Thanks!

Try scanning your computer fully with your anti-virus and anti-malware programs.

That's a good idea, I'll work on that tomorrow.

 

[mgh24]

I thought that scanning for malware had it, but it did not. 
 
When playback is too fast, I can reboot my PC, or uplug my DAC, and playback will come back to normal speed.
 
Strange.

Can you try the DAC with a different source?
It would help with diagnosing where the issue is.
I know nothing about Modi, but in many cases it's the DAC that controls the timing. Rebooting the PC just resets the connection, so that's why it may correct itself temporarily.
