Hello All. I just noticed when checking the Audio Path in MC19 that, regardless of the file being played, I only seem to be getting 16bit output. Any ideas? Thanks
Example:
Input: 96kHz 24 bit 2ch from source format FLAC
Changes: No changes are being made
Output: 96kHz 16bit 2ch using ASIO (not enough bits to output the input directly)
So, I found the ASIO Control Panel from inside MC: Tools->Options->Audio->Open Driver Control Panel...
That opens the ASIO Control Panel dialogue box which has two settings: Bit-Depth and Latency. Bit-Depth was set at "16/16". Latency was set at "10ms". So, I changed the Bit Depth setting to "24/24" (the other available setting was "32/32") and now MC shows the output, from the example given in original posting above, as: 96kHz 24bit 2ch using ASIO (direct connection).
The other effect of this config change is that all output is now showing 24bit - even for 16bit files. The same happens if I set the Bit-Depth to 32bit; all output shows as 32bit regardless of the original file bit-depth.
Best to leave it at 24bit? (I have no 32bit files.) Any reason why the ASIO driver shouldn't just output the original bit-depth for a file?
Thanks
