Very fine PC sound card, adaptable to Windows 10
Sound card arrived today, beautifully packaged, directly from S. Korea. Plugged into my Windows 10 (64-bit) computer, the system automatically installed a basic driver. This driver works well at a fixed sample rate of 48k.I'd already downloaded the latest full driver from the manufacturer's website, and this turned out to be identical to the one contained on the included driver CD. Unfortunately, this driver installation package does not function on Windows 10, even with various compatibility mode settings. So for Windows 10, it appears the card is a fixed 48kHz sample rate device. (However, see Update, below, for workaround.)I maintain a Windows 7 64-bit computer just for situations like this. On Windows 7, the included driver installation package works fine. The full driver package also installs the Audiotrak control panel which enables all of the supported sample rates. The SPDIF optical output, which is my primary usage, appears to support 44.1k, 48k, 88k, 96k, and even higher (except that the optical output stops at 96k).The sound, as converted from the SPDIF optical out through my DAC, seems on a par with any other of my digital sources. It's a fine, beautifully made sound card useful for relieving the dependency on USB for PC digital audio playback.*** Update 29-Dec-2016 - Workaround for full function on Windows 10 ***I devised this workaround in two stages of discovery. First, I decided to bypass the failing InstallShield-based driver installation process by manually updating the driver file from the Device Manager. I just pointed to the installation directory containing the unpacked 64-bit driver file (Envy24HF.sys). That was successful, so at that point I had the inspiration to just copy over the EnvyADeck directory (which contains the executable of the audio control panel utility to set PCM modes and sample rates) from the working Windows 7 installation to my Windows 10 machine. This seemed worth a try since the accompanying DLL's were all in the same directory. Amazingly, this worked, yielding the full functionality of the Prodigy HD2 soundcard on Windows 10.
