But the other thing that is different is the install method

as you suggested.

R1 installed using

works without hitch, but that method did not work when I tried it for R2.


Will try R1 install using your method to help determine whether it is R2 or the install method that is causing the issue.
not the install method

try the r2 rtm
Installed 2012R2 rtm, still no play with mqn or lekt.
I tried JPlay and that works fine on KS, WASAPI.

Any ideas?

I used the agnipulse way to create a 2012 R2 GUI USB Stick.
No problems running MQn.

Did you enable windows Audio service? This is required for WASAPI playback.
Did you apply any optimisations, that might have disabled WASAPI?

MQn is such a 'simple' program, there isn't much that could go wrong.

Might be worth going in to Device Manager and Sound and Video and disable any audio devices not required in there, there may be an audio output on DVI or something like that hogging the audio output.

RME have released new drivers for 8.1 but neither them nor previous make any difference.
Point is JPlay does play and Windows farts do too.

had checked that. Only devices are the RME devices, so anything should show on their mixer software. Jplay has no problem.

The difference between JPlay and mqn/lekt is that the devices are selectable in JPlay whereas AFAIK, mqn/lekt uses Windows "default".

Had a similar issue with windows8 on a laptop. Jplay played fine. Try downloading mqn again and start afresh possible you have an issue with the version downloaded. BTW I have mqn working on this laptop fine now.

Thanks for the suggestion. I use an Install directory, which has all drivers & programs within, that I copy onto USB Sticks. So same programs / devices are implemented. mqn & lekt play nicely on R1 stick but not on R2 stick.

Known differences:
1. OS
2. Install method.
3. USB stick (same model though).
