Follow these checks in Audio Fix →When this guide applies
Exact Topping DX5 II. The intended already-connected USB, optical or Bluetooth input is absent from DX5 II input switching because it was omitted in the Manual input-option list. Rear line outputs are unused.
Connection scope: USB audio · Optical digital audio · Bluetooth. Symptom: An option or codec is missing.
This is a documented check, not a diagnosis of your equipment. The model name does not confirm the selected input, mode, software or connected partner.
If your exact model or a required setting is unknown, use the “I don’t know” branch below. Do not apply a similarly named model’s instructions.
Checks and possible outcomes
Start at scope. Follow the link that matches what you actually observe. Alternative branches are not a single sequence of actions.
scope
Confirm the model and connection
The intended already-connected USB, optical or Bluetooth input is absent from DX5 II input switching because it was omitted in the Manual input-option list. Rear line outputs are unused.
Look for: Confirm this exact setup and observation before continuing.
- If Yes, I confirm → Accept changing the input list and active source?
- If No / my setup differs → Continue with source and model support
- If I cannot confirm → More information is required

Accept changing the input list and active source?
Adding/selecting an input may interrupt current playback and recall earlier input volume/gain. Continue only outside calls/recordings with rear line outputs unused and agreement to pause and lower volume.
Look for: Explicit informed acceptance is required before the next action.
- If I accept these effects → Pause source media
- If No / leave this unchanged → Continue with source and model support
- If I cannot confirm → More information is required
