There is no program, you use whatever programs you already have and select the Sony as your output device in sound settings in Windows

Right, he is saying you use whatever music software you have, like -Foobar2000.

thanx for the help ,so let's recap

1) i have 3.01 on my wm1a

2) i need to donwload/install on my pc this

https://www.sony.co.id/en/electronics/support/downloads/00014879

3) then plug my wm1a in usb cable on my pc and activate usb dac

correct ?

You turn on the DAC function first before hooking the 1A to the computer. I don’t use this but kinda know how to do it. I didn’t realize in your earlier post you already had 3.01 working fine in your 1A, but just needed Windows drivers.

Did you download the Windows drivers?

You may have to select the Sony as the output device in Windows. I use Apple as my PC for this. Lol

You first need to select the Sony as your output device in Windows sound setting

Someone here will help you, I don’t use the 1A as a DAC normally.
