After borrowing a DAC, I moved my old DAC (Pop-Pulse) to my desktop computer. I use the optical from the motherboard (Asus) to the DAC, then to a headphone amplifier (Keces) to some old headphones (Sennheisers).

It works fine, but then it has starts to develop static/white noise in the right side. If you reset the PC or reinitialize the output, it will work again. Is there a setting that could cause a conflict?

I had two optical "inputs" in Windows. I deactivated the other one that is not used and that seemed to stop that issue.

It came back. Any thoughts?

Hook it back up where it used to be so you can figure out if it's the DAC or the computer driving it...

I tried hooking up via USB, but can't get it to work.

Am I missing a setting?

It may need a driver, have you checked and installed it if it does?

You might try installing ASIO4ALL and see if that helps.

What settings should I use?
