Driver problem

Submitted by Antares on #1

Hi,
I just try VirtualHere before buying a license to share a DAC to a virtual machine, but no lock, it fails with this message in log :

2017-11-26 09:31:04 INFO :Installing driver for class causbaudio_SetupClass {55A9EEDD-748A-4105-A549-DCFED3F1EA7F}

2017-11-26 09:31:05 ERROR :Error binding device 1 [22e8:dac2] to connection 1, BIND_ERROR

The Dac is a Cambridge Audio Dac Magic Plus.
Is there a mean to put the driver manually ?

Regards

Drivers downloading is ok, but device not usable.
Sound is completly distored :(

OK that means your DAC is very sensitive to the (slight additional) network latency added to the USB stream via virtualhere

I tried with USB Network Gate and it's perfect, but the price is not in my budget.
I would have been happy to buy a licence of Virutalhere :(

Yeah i dont really want to support DACs specifically because it will never have as good support as a usb cable because of the variable jitter in the network. Althought it may sound good or bad a different times, These types of devices are too tied to latency and tend to not work well in the long term. They tend to want to sync on certain frames which is impossible with variable latency.

Speakers and microphones should be fine as they are not so sensitive.
