3.5.3 JRiver Media Center Playback Settings
The OriGen+ supports all of the different methods that JRiver Media Center can output audio. To
access these output options, select Tools -> Options and select the Audio configuration menu. In
the Audio Devices drop down box, the following output options are available for the OriGen+:
• Default Audio Device (Direct Sound) – JRiver will output sound to the OriGen+ using the
Windows DirectSound component. The OriGen+ must be set as the default audio
playback device for this setting to work. In addition to JRiver, all other system and
application sounds will also be played through the OriGen+.
• DS: Micca OriGen+ (VIA USB Device) – Foobar2000 will always use the OriGen+ to
output sound. This is useful if the OriGen+ is not set as the default audio playback device
and all other system and application sounds use a different audio playback device, so
that your music isn’t interrupted by beeps, dings, and other computer system sounds.
• VIA KS Direct ASIO (ASIO) – When using the ASIO interface, JRiver requires exclusive
access to the OriGen+ such that other programs will not play sound through the OriGen+
at the same time. It is important to set another audio device as the default audio
playback device prior to using the ASIO interface with OriGen+. Otherwise, conflicts
with other programs may result in locked sound output requiring a system restart.
• Micca OriGen+ (VIA USB Device) (WASAPI) – When using the WASAPI interface, JRiver
requires exclusive access to the OriGen+ such that other programs will not play sound
through the OriGen+ at the same time. It is important to set another audio device as
the default audio playback device prior to using the WASAPI interface with
OriGen+. Otherwise, conflicts with other programs may result in locked sound output
requiring a system restart.
