Hi,

unfortunately still had no luck getting the Benchmark Dac working under Engine 3

It is set as the Primary Sound Driver but i get the following error messages:

Endpoint Create Failed -> The Dac does not accept this byte sequence

[followed by]

..grateful for any ideas

thnks

Just purchased XXHighend and running under Vista with 2Gb Ram

- Engine 3 will work with the built in laptop speakers but just gives an error message when trying Benchmark Dac through USB.
- 'Test Dac' shows no smple rates supported

- Engine 2 works ok with the Benchmark Dac through USB

Grateful for any thoughts - Thanks
