For example, if the device is set to 16-bit/44.1kHz resolution, a CD-quality music signal will pass through it unchanged, but if you try to send through a 24/96 or 24/192 file, Windows will actually downsample it to 16/44.1 since that’s the Sound setting. The bit depth and sample rate set for that device within the Sound section will determine what the corresponding output device receives. River’s Media Center or MediaMonkey, and pass through this subsystem before being routed to the appropriate output device. By default, the signal will go from your music player, whether it’s J. You get at this by clicking Control Panel and then Sound, which will then show you the various devices that can be listened to. Windows has a sound subsystem built in (Apple’s operating system has this too). Your problem is a common one and I can easily explain what’s happening. Am I missing something? All I really want is a solution where I can play files from my PC through to the DAC regardless of what bit depth/sample rate the files are in without having to monkey around with settings all of the time.Īny suggestions or explanations would be much appreciated. Having to fix the sample rate essentially means I would have to change the sample rate in the PC every time I wanted to play a file encoded in something other than 16/44. I can't understand why the interface wouldn't just pass the file through at whatever bit depth/sample rate it is encoded at and let the DAC deal with it. I have two interfaces, one being a S/PDIF jack in the PC that connects directly to my DAC, and the other is an M-Audio ProFire 610, which is a FireWire device connected to my PC and is in turn connected to my DAC through a coax digital cable.īoth of these interfaces and my DAC support up to 24/192, but I have to manually set the sample rate for each of the interfaces on the PC. The problem I'm experiencing has to do with the digital interface from the laptop to the DAC that is attached to my amp. Almost all of my stuff is in the 16/44 standard, but I have a few records in 24/96 and 24/192, which I've recently added. My question has to do with playing files encoded at higher bit depths and sample rates. River, I primarily use MediaMonkey simply because I like the functionality better. I use a Windows 7 laptop to play the music. Virtually all of my music is now in FLAC format and stored on a NAS box. I've been using digital audio for a while now. It was an interesting article and I wanted to ask you a question about this subject. I was searching Google and came across your article on computer-based audio written in April.
