I’ve had this from the get go.
My S5 is great using Reaper – everything works fine, no issues that I’ve experienced so far.
But it does not work well with Window’s sounds. Youtube videos, local playback stuff with VLC, Spotify etc. etc. all suffer from a digital distortion. It’s worse when I set the Windows sound device to 16Bit and better when it’s set to 96KHz 24 bit (which is what the desk runs at) but it’s still there big time. I can’t see any way to change the buffer settings for the SQ as a Windows device.
I only have one sound device – the SQ. If I disconnect and connect a cheap Behringer box (UMC22), everything is fine everywhere.
I looked on the forums and found something under QU but no resolutions in there. My old QU24 didn’t have this problem on my system, just the SD5.
I could route the Behringer through my SQ5 and set that in Windows but that is fiddly and seems a shame.
