I tried the previous firmware as well with the ASIO drivers included inside and it was basically the same, colors never changed. Unless you are talking about 2-3 versions before.

I used the one before the latest. Did you monitor the output from the program (the name escapes me) that resides in the notification area? FLAC is the easiest, does not require SACD settings. Output device ASIO, play file, should switch. If you are using foo_dsd_asio, then go to ASIO right under Output (in settings), double click on foo_dsd_asio, pick which device you want it to send to. Dunno if I can do better than this without knowing exactly what you did.

Alright, so I added again both the SACD and the foo_dsd to my foobar AND IT WORKS. Thanks a lot for your kind help.

Now I need to figure this out on some other apps like AIMP and such.

First of all, thank you for the great hardware, it is really a nice piece of tech for the price. I have an UA2 and I am very happy with the hardware.

But I am too experiencing issues with the Windows driver. It being the following: If I leave my computer for some minutes or stop the music and leave it silent, then the DAC stops responding and producing sound. The only way I found to "reset" the DAC without unplugging it is to change the bitrate under device properties.

I tried to disable USB power saving management to see if it was putting the device to sleep, but it didn't help.

I'm using the July 22, 2021 driver and I tested this with various cables and USB ports, from C, to 3.1, 3.0 and 2.0.

Also this only happens on Windows, but not on Linux, so I'm pretty sure it is driver related.

I hope this information helps you to improve the driver in some way.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that opening an audio player (like foobar) that is configured to make exclusive use of the device also "brings it back to life". So I wonder if this is related to the internal Windows mux.

Hello,
I just bought a UA2 and I marvel at the sound quality produced by this baby. From my observations, it seems that Huawei P30 Pro phone has problems with dongle recognition. It connects properly every 4-5 times.
Edit: Uninstallation of an app IBasso UAC has solved the problem with connection (Inhave used it for Ibasso DC02 dongle)

Windows driver - unfortunately it is quiet and has frequent sound jams. In my case, installing USB driver version 5.20 helped. It fixed both of these problems despite being dedicated to players rather than UA1/UA2.

Regards,
TM

How can you use 5.20 for UA2? Tried to install and for Windows to use that driver. This resulted in "Device cannot start"

Actually, first I have installed the most new driver for UA2 and after poking around with it without succes, I have uninstalled it, and installed this 5.20 one. The only downside is that ASIO driver from 5.20 does not work. I have got into suspicion now that maybe there actually not 5.20 but is rather generic Microsoft driver for USB audio, but in a settings I've got full range of sound resolution upto 32 bit/384kHz. Since it plays free of glitches this is my way to go before we get stabile driver/firmware from Shanling.

Thanks, will try to uninstall the "old" driver. If ASIO doesn't work, maybe you should try WASAPI since the default Windows driver doesn't have ASIO but has WASAPI

Interesting, will definitely try to have a look at this.

Can you check again to make sure that you are using the 5.20 driver for the UA2, not the generic driver from Microsoft? I uninstall the new drive, force Windows to use the 5.20 and still "This device cannot start"

It is a Microsoft driver indeed.

I was looking into buying the UA2. Does anybody know if the android Tidal app can play bit-perfect music using UA2 via type-c?

If you are willing to test, just open Tidal on an android phone (not DAP) and connect the UA2. It should prompt a message which is asking Tidal to use the Shanling ua2 for audio source. After this, the audio should be playing in the right bitrate without android resampling them. I tried the Lotoo Paw S1, but even after Tidal asked permission and I gave it, the audio was all static, which forced me to return it.

Any help would be appreciated.

I can only confirm that Tidal asks about allowing to use usb device, and plays music, shows signs "hifi" of "master", but I don’t know how to check bitrate of actually played music. And I stll have problems with recognition of Shanling UA2 by Huawei, it does not happen every time.

Do you hear any difference between the music played without allowing Tidal access and when you do allow it?
