Ok I guess I have 2 questions here.
I am using the audio from my EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti HDMI connector.
First of all it is quite a new card and for some reason when I try to set it to ASIO and then go to the "Output Mode Settings" I don't seem to get any options to use my Nvidea sound card not my Onkyo receiver (In other modes it shows me my Onkyo receiver).
This is a brand new Card which I purchased specifically because I can output up to 7.1 channels with 24Bit / 96KHz and 2 Channels @ 24Bit / 192Khz.
I don't know much about ASIO per say. Is there a special driver I need to install to get it to see my hardware?
2nd having not been able to use the ASIO I am using the "WASAPI" option which for the most part seems to work.
However in this mode I have to set the "Disable Event Style (Required by older hardware) Otherwise I get all kinds of problems. This is a brand new Video / Sound card so not "Older Hardware" and I know my Onkyo receiver supports all of those formats because I am able to play them from other programs and other hardware without issue.
Also when I am in WASAPI mode and Playing a 24Bit / 96KHz / 6 Channel FLAC music file I get the above mentioned "Not using enough bits to output the input directly" message indicated in the "Audio Path".
So I guess I am wondering
1. What do I need to do to be able to use the more desirable ASIO format?
or
2. Why can't I get the full bit rate output using WSAPI format? (Or why is MC indicating that it is not outputting the full bitrate?)
The reason I am looking at purchasing this software is to be able to play my media at it full capabilities.
So far I am impressed as it seems to do much better than my Helium Music Manager which only seems to have options to use the built in homogenized Windows Audio drivers which only give the option lf outputting everything at the same Channel #'s, bit depth and sample frequencies, therefore either upgrading or downgrading everything.
I think one of the problems is that the combined Audio / Video card seems to have very little in the way of Audio settings options. but how else is one supposed to use HDMI and get full audio capabilities for everything including DTS-HD, Dolby TruHD for movies etc???
