Sorry if duplicated post, most threads I can find are discussing plug-in cannot find SHD.
In my case, I can see SHD in the software, run Dirac live to calibrate and config it and play music through Volumio.
However there's no sound at all when I try to play music via USB with Window 10.
I see "SHD Series" in my Windows sound output setting, tried different sampling rates, reflashed firmware, nothing works.
My PC works fine with other DACs with the same cable, and that cable is able to connect SHD to the miniDSP software.

Another minor bug is that it's display never goes dim or off, restore all to default and still the same.

Any help? Thanks

Hi, I am also having this issue now. The PC can see SHD, the minidsp device control can also see the SHD and able to apply settings. However when I try to play a sound from the PC over USB-B, I don't get any sound. LAN, Optical, COAX works fine.

Also with the minidsp device control I also do not see signal DB bars moving when playing sound from USB. 

A missing USB audio driver??????

Have you selected USB input on your SHD?

Hi, yes to both. I’ve scoured the forums, and it seems it’s a SHD issue being very specific about what USB cable it handshakes with. I have a 3m USB cable which works fine for minidsp device control but does not work for any sound. It works with any other DAC I’ve connected.

However if I use the small USB wire that came with the SHD, then sound works. This is sort of frustrating, because I then need to buy a long UMIK usb cable for measurements because I have to leave my laptop next to the SHD because of the short wire.

Seems many people have had this issue with SHD and/or Flex. Is there a standard of USB cable that minidsp recommends if I want a longer cable?
