I'm a new user of MC 19. When I initially installed the application, I set the audio options to use WASAPI to access the sound controller on my video card (ASUS Radeon7770) so that I could output high-resolution audio to my HT processor via HDMI. So far, so good. In audio options I gave MC "exclusive access" to the sound device, and it properly identified the sample rate of the incoming file, and set the sample rate from 44.1/16 to 192/24 and anything in between. Exactly as expected (and sounding mighty nice, I might add).
Then I installed the plug-in for an iMon LCD display. That works properly; however, now the maximum sample rate that JRiver will output is 48/24. It will dip down to 44.1/16, but not any higher than 48/24. If I uncheck the "exclusive access" under Audio Options section, I get an error message when I try to play any file. Essentially it's telling me that the program cannot translate the incoming bitstream to the system default of 48/24, multichannel - which is the default setting of the video cards' audio device. The problem here is that the dialog box always identifies the incoming bitstream as 48/24 - even when I know that the file I'm playing is a higher resolution.
I have tried uninstalling the iMon plug-in. No change. Reinstalling MC19. No change. Changing the audio output to using the "Standard". No change. The only thing I haven't tried yet is to uninstall MC19 and then reinstall it.
Has anyone come across a similar problem? I'm at a loss as to what to do short of completely uninstalling and reinstalling Media Centre.
