Hello.
I learned here that a new farmware 1.6 was released.
But now It looks like the link is 404.
Can anyone upload it again?;)

I never had an issue via USB on Windows 10, no matter if USB 2.0 or 3.0.
When you say that windows shuts down during playback, what exactly are you using? Spotify, Tidal, Foobar, Youtube, gaming? Or does it happen no matter what you're using?
Do you have any other sound device connected to your computer, like an onboard soundcard or any other DAC?
Are you using any software in exclusive mode, like Foobar or Tidal?
Do you use any kind of EQ software, like Sonarworks?

I'll show my setting, so you can check if they are the same.

First of all, check your XMOS driver version (Post #69):

Playback device Control Panel:
- Disable any other device but the Sabaj D5. Even HDMI connected to the monitor.
- If you have more than one device enabled, sometime Windows sets two of them as active, which can cause some problems.
* Right click on the list to check the options for show/hide Disabled and Disconnected devices.
* Right click over them to disable.

On config, make sure it's flagged as Full-range speakers

On properties, set as follows:
View attachment 57019

Spatial sound turned off
View attachment 57020

After that, your XMOS Control Panel should look like this:
View attachment 57022
View attachment 57023

Also make sure your Device Manager has no issues, no matter the device type

Let us know if windows shuts down again and please answer my questions so we can keep track over D5's problems.
Tks

I resolved my problems by not launching several audio sources (foobar/youtube) at the same time.

Can you please tell me from where did you download the 4.67 driver version? I only have version 4.47 from the sabaj site.

Tried to buy the JTAG tool for the upgrade but for the moment shipping to France is not available because of what you know.

Where do you find the latest version? Because it's not on Sabajs web site.
Is it an official version?

I downloaded the folder from the link and follow the instructions to install. So far So good.

I am quite happy as Sabaj allows us to upgrade the system. Just wonderful !!!
