I have RME ADI-2 DAC and when I connect it via USB cable to my HTPC in a living room, everything is working as it should. But when I use optical input, sound is louder from the left side. It's a larger difference so it's easy to hear and it's also visible on the display that left channel is louder and balance is centered, I checked. Could be problem with the optical cable?
Which Firmware version do you use ? Look at the display when you turn the device on.
Which device is connected via optical input ?
Firmware is v.29. HTPC has ASUS Maximus VI Impact motherboard with optical output so I go from this to ADI-2 DAC.
So audio uses then the internal soundcard of the mainboard for playback and the Windows Sound System (driver, mixer, ...) ?
That's correct.
Then I would 1st check the settings of the Windows Driver and Windows Sound System whether there is something wrong, maybe a panning of L/R channel not center, etc.
The problem was onboard audio codec driver. I had latest from ASUS for this motherboard, then I tried latest from Realtek. It worked for me.
