TLV320DAC3101EVM Evaluation Module

Hi!

I'm working on the DAC3101 evaluation module. I'm having some problems with the Codec Control Software (slac366.exe). 

When I open the software, some error appear. The error is '680.8' is not a valid floating point value, like in the image below: 

I need to do some tests with this codec before to implement in my system. Do you know what could be happening?

Thanks!

  • Hi, Andre,

    Welcome to E2E and thank you for your interest in our products!

    Do you have information about the Playback and Recording devices on your PC? I mean, is the EVM being recognized when you connect it?

    Best regards,

  • Thank's for reply, Luis Fernando Rodríguez!

    The device was recognized, like the image below:

    It was recognized like a microphone and audio output. When I try to run a simulation on the CodecControl software, for example, an error appear like: "680.0 is not a valid floating point value" again...

    I don't  know what's happening. I think It isn't a driver problem, it is a software problem!

    You know what might be happening?

  • Hi, Andre,

    Have you tried with the Troubleshoot compatibility option? This could be related with the Windows version that you're using.

    Please let me know if the problem persists.

    Best regards,

  • I tried to run the CodecControl software on a Windows XP SP2 machine and the same problem appear. In a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 too.
    It's a nice DAC, it is exactly what I need in my project. I need to evaluate this DAC to use together with a 10 ohm Audiometric earphone, before the implementation with my ARM microcontroller through the I²S and I²C interface. At this moment I'm trying to use the evaluation board connected to a Windows 10 machine, and a tried everything that is possible and the "CodecControl.exe" doesn't work. I develop simple embedded USB devices and normally I don't have this kind of problem on my PC.

    Thank's for your attention!
  • Hi, Luis,

    thank you for your attention. I just solve the problem occurred with the software, changing  the "region" and "numbers", from Portuguese - Brasil to English - United States, in the Windows configurations. The problem is related by the decimal symbols: comma and decimal point.

    The Image below shows how it was (Portuguese - Brasil):

    The correct configuration is (English - US):

    And verything is working fine:

    Thank's again!
