Re: Teac DAC, I've read someone can make it work fine via USB 16/2/44100, but NOT ME...

[Eric Favre <e.j.favre@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I've tried with my laptop, on a usb 2.0 port : crackles

I didn't try on its USB3.0 port yet

I have tried on my desktop (where my DAC is) : usb2.0=> lots of crackles; usb3.0 => a few crackles

... But still crackles

I've jsuted reinstalled a fresh Arch on my Desktop, with minimal packages, and kernel 3.12.8, DAC on USB3.0 port : crackles :(

I've installed Fedora 18 (updated so same kernel as you) and I have crackles

Now my last chance is the Teac plugged in the USB3.0 port of my laptop. If it works, then... Oh

I feel desperate...

Thanks,

Eric

Rutger,

I thank you, I now have hope that mine will work :) (yep, it's a Teac UD-H01).

I'm running Archlinux 64bit, with 3.10.27 LTS (I tested 3.10.20 too, maybe I should give 21 to 26 a try too, but dunno if it's kernel related...)

I do not have pulseaudio. I play directly from aplay or mpd.

I do not know if a .asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf config file is needed, I have tried many with no fix.

I'm using the latest version of alsa (1.27.2 iirc).

I play only 16bits files (all my music is lossless), 44.1KHz

If you have an alsa config file, could you paste it please ?

I've had a look at the thread you speak about, that's how I knew that the Teac can work at 16/44.1 but there are no explanations of the configuration to set in order to make it work... Hope you understand what I mean.

First of all, gonna install Fedora 18 with the same kernel as you and disable pulse, then use aplay, and I will know if it's ok.

I have a laptop and USB DAC that causes me problems with distorted / crackly sound when plugged into a USB-2 port and works fine in a USB-3 port.  This has been the case so far with 3.2, 3.8 and 3.11 kernels.  The DAC seems to work fine with other computers in the household running the same kernels.

Therefore I have concluded in my case at least it is something not correctly managed in the USB-2 port on the one laptop.  Fortunately, since everything works fine on the USB-3 ports in the machine in question, I am OK with all of this.

Can you try your DAC on some other machine?  Can you install a different USB setup in your current machine?
