Just checked:
That should just work.

Thanks a bunch
Thank you for your advice, as always. Installing the E30 driver and setting it to ASIO, then increaing the buffer size in the Topping Audio Device seemed to improve things. However, running LatencyMon and just listening to music / working, I did get a serious drop-out. It gave this result: "@RosalieTheDog Try running LatencyMon, it may tell you specifically which background process is causing issues.
In case that's the Topping E30 in your screenshot, a manual driver install is required of you want to use ASIO.

@RosalieTheDog would you mind uploading a screenshot of LatencyMon after running it for a while?

I think it is related indeed to some AMD CPU setting. The above is with a performance focused AMD CPU/GPU setting in Amd software. The below is immediately after switching to a "quality" preset, with the same processes running.

Thank you Davide for this resource. Whatever precise setting was interfering (one of the many Radeon CPU settings hidden in AMD Adrenaline), chosing the 'performance' preset has solved the issue. I am not very curious about finding out the exact cause. When it's necessary I will refer to that guide.Try to follow this exhaustive guide.
I too had similar problems and after a thousand investigations I discovered they were caused by a poorly managed Intel Tuning Management driver on my Dell laptop (Latencymon just showed very high DPC latency of ACPI.sys ...so not immediate to understand).
By disabling the driver I solved it (not with little effort) but if the cause is a driver that you need (like the one for the graphics card) it becomes more complicated.
My PC still has a dropout when it turns off the screen due to power saving timeout...
But the great thing is that with a different DAC there are no problems (probably due to higher safety buffer in the driver than my current professional interface, typically low latency).
The Windows architecture is simply not made for all this... it just question of luck.
So, good luck with investigation and settings.... And consider to return your pc if you can and try different model (avoid Dell).
FYI, in case someone ran into the same latency issue, it did sadly recur. I tried many solutions that I found online related to the wdf01000.sys issue. I was pretty sure it was some windows problem that I couldn't fix myself. Finally, I decided to upgrade windows 10 to windows 11, and so far, the problem has disappeared. It's ironic, because I stalled upgrading to Windows 11 because I feared it would mess up audio drivers and the like.Thank you Davide for this resource.

Bought the entire suite. Now i will try to use it on jriver In a 2.2 configuration. I hope bass control will not screw things up30% discount is on again:
Comparison of Dirac Live Bass Control (DLBC) and Dirac ART for all known AVRs/Processors
I think the heading of the thread is its most important limitation. There is virtually nothing that could make DLBC (or the lower DL version) better that ART for certain systems. However, how the ART fares with bass routing options of Storm or D&M processors is something that I have not seen -...www.audiosciencereview.com

Is a single license for Mac AND PC, or either Mac or PC, assuming that I am only using one and not both at the time? I like to know if changing platform is a problem or requiring to pay again.
Same license, you are allow to use it on two devices, so you can install it on a windows PC and another on a Mac PC.
Dirac Live running on your PC will not apply EQ to bitstream audio.Hmmm would I be able to get full EQ of all sounds from PC with Dirac live using the virtual sound card including Dolby atmos? Currently I’m using EQAPO but that doesn’t seem to work when playing back atmos/bitstream from mpc-hc nor with games using atmos either. Or maybe some kind of DSP box with hdmi 2.1 in/out.
Yeah was afraid of that….. does a hdmi 2.1 dsp box that can EQ bitstream even exist?Dirac Live running on your PC will not apply EQ to bitstream audio.
