Tidal Lossless Streaming

Tidal / Exclusive Mode also has trouble picking up my Schiit driver on a consistent basis; it allows me to select it, but I get the error message at the top left that says "Device is in use by a different user, device or service." It prefers my ASIO Bridge.

You will most likely have to uninstall Asio Bridge to get it to work. Asio Bridge is simply the other Service in use.

Makes sense, thanks. There now seems to be no benefit from me running ASIO?

It is very system dependant what sounds best. I recommend to try it. You can always install Asio Bridge again if there is a slight step down in SQ.

Having issues after the update.
 
Tidal keeps skipping tracks when using my Chord Mojo and in Exclusive mode. Turning off exclusive mode seems to fix it.
 
Anyone else getting same issues?

On wifi or hardwired?

Hardwired. Only started happening after the update, and using exclusive mode.

I would check if you have ticked the Exclusively mode in your Sound Properties. Both options must be ticked.

Thanks. I'll give that a try and get back with the results later.

Well ASIO bridge got me nowhere haha. The documentation is terrible and the GUI seems like something someone made as a freshman project. Tidal is set to pipe into Bridge and I can see it doing stuff when I hit play but... okay? Great. Now what? There's nothing on the application to select the Dragonfly as my output. Clicking "Select ASIO device" doesn't give me anything except "remove", and the ASIO panel button is literally non-functioning. 
 
ah well. Was a fun experiment.

Click at the top of the black section right below the Select ASIO device.  Sorry I'm not at my computer with it installed but I believe if you click on the first line of text in the black area it will give you the option to select output device.

To use asio bridge with tidal, this is the only thing that works for me, as i found other advice here never worked.

Install asio bridge and leave it alone.

Next, in the windows speaker icon in the bottom right hand corner, right click, select recording devices, click on hifi cable and configure. A new box opens...select "listen to this device" and from the dropdown menu in that same box, select the audio device you want the music to play through.

Then, go to tidal, settings, streaming, and select hifi cable.

Sometimes, you may have to uncheck "listen to device" when your done with tidal and want other audio to play, like youtube.

I forgot to mention that you need to have the hifi cable playback and recording set to 16bit 44.1khz for tidal, in windows.

Has anyone discovered what the Master streaming setting is? I didn't see it until this last update. I'm assuming it may not yet be applicable but who knows.
