I have been using the Slim for a while now. However, it just stopped working. Nothing I do seems to cajole it into working. I started with Win10 and a couple of weeks ago upon reboot the Slim stopped working. I have uninstalled the drivers as per instructions. Today I did this again, even rebooted between uninstall and install. Then I tried rebooting again. No joy. The Centrance driver says "No compatible devices connected". Tried different headphones. Same result. I was using the .19 drivers. Just moved over to the 7.9.8 Beta drivers. Nothing seems to work. HELP! (BTW, the headphones do work with my phone and with the RealTek output from my MoBo.)

What does it say in device status?

SomeTechNoobThere is no CEntrance entry. At all. Also, when I go to the tray and right click on the CEntrance control panel I get a message "No compatible devices connected." This is after following the Win10 instructions. I've been running Win10 and CEntrance successfully for quite a while. Then something changed.

SomeTechNoobWorks great on my Mac! But, my main work machine is Win10.
I've now tried getting Win10 to accept it several times using the exact sequence in the CEntrance instructions for Win10. Rebooting numerous times too. Nothing seems to work.

mhf7Is secure boot enabled on your Windows machine? Open up "System Information" - it should tell you there. If it is, try disabling it.

SomeTechNoobFinally got everything resolved. I had to download new firmware to the Slim. This is only for some versions of the Slim, but without the new version, updates to Windows would not recognize the Slim and the two could not talk together. BTW, because of the problem, I had to do the download on a Mac because the new Win10 updates would not recognize the USB device dow a download could happen!

mhf7What firmware version did you end up flashing? I think the last version I flashed when I had the device was v29

SomeTechNoobI am not sure. It was recommended that I go to the firmware download page & I never saw a version number. It was whatever was on the CEntrance website a week ago.

mhf7The DAC died (with bad solder joint) about 2 or 3 years after I bought it. I had problems with its drivers & finally moved to a Schiit stack which is more to the point for my actual listening. Needed more power.
