Music Converter not now recognising DSD files

[HardBop]

Hi, hope you can help. I have just downloaded version 15.3 of dbpoweramp. Unfortunately dsd files are not now showing in music converter. On the previous version I could access and convert to PCM (flac/wav) with no problem. I thought I might need to download the DSD decoder again. However, when I did and tried to run it, it indicates that it's already installed? However, I did notice that in the advanced codec settings, DSD decoder options are no longer there?

Don't know if this is relevant but I am now using Windows 10, however, previous version of dbpoweramp worked fine on 10 with regard to DSD conversions.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks.

Re: Music Converter not now recognising DSD files

Which version of dbpoweramp did you have previously?

I believe it was R15, taken out in Dec 2014, although in my programmes it refers to Music Converter 15.1?

Try to uninstall the DSD codec, then reinstall.

I've tried that and it doesn't seem to make any difference. Interestingly, whilst the application appears in programmes (for uninstall etc.), it doesn't seem to appear in programme files where the download indicates it should be??

Run this and remove the old programs, then reinstall.

Thanks I'll try this. I think I was working towards seeing this as the problem. On checking I see that I installed the 64 bit version for R15, but on checking the files it looks as though the DSD codec has been installed to the previous version which I think must have been the 32 bit version, as it appears in programme files (x86). I did not uninstall the old version before installing R15; was this the problem? If I uninstall the previous version, then I assume any download of the codec will go to the new 64 bit version? Apologies for my basic understanding!
Thanks.

Thanks Spoon, that's done the trick. I realise I should have uninstalled previous version before installing 15.3. Appreciate your prompt response and clear advice.
