    Hey guys, just got my first amp and dac today (dedicated ones anyways)

    Plugged in my Modi Multibit via usb and then connected it to a Valhalla 2 using RCA cables

    Getting no sound out at all, then plugged my Vali 2 in that I ordered to compare and still no sound. The Modi Multibit says that a usb source is selected, and I've tried all my playback devices in windows in case the Modi Multibit was named something else

    I'm probably doing something obviously wrong, but to save time, can any of you guys help me out with the problem?

    Thanks

    *Mods, sorry if this is in the wrong place or if there's a dedicated thread already

    The Modi Multibit requires drivers right? I think it is meant to work (at reduced capabilities) without the drivers though, have you installed these?

    Have you tried different USB ports? Tried USB2 and USB3?

    Also, when you go into playback devices, right click on the list and toggle on "Show Disabled Devices", however, I don't think it would automatically get disabled for any reason.

    Yeah, only found that out after searching google for the same problem

    They don't mention anything about drivers in the manual or reference it in the downloads you get given when you buy something. Think they might need to work on that a little

    Got it up and running now after downloading the second set of drivers (first didn't work)

    Cheers for the input
