Hello,
I'm using WASAPI-eventstyle and I always had the idea that it completely skipped the ASUS control panel settings of my ASUS HDAV1.3 Deluxe. It appears that isn't the case since speaker selection and sample rate selection in the ASUS control panel does indeed affect how many channels to output to and at what sample rate.
So now I have a question about how to setup JRiver and my soundcard:
1. Should I set the asus control panel to playback at the same sample rate as the source material?
2. Or should I just set the asus control panel to any sample rate I like, e.g. 48khz, 96 khz or 192khz depending on my preference?
3. A third quesiton, I guess, is if it will harm the sound quality and my use of convolution (see below) if I do upsampling on the soundcard irrespective of source sample rate.
My DSP settings in jriver are:
1. OUTPUT FORMAT
No upsampling
Force 24 bit depth
Upmix to 7.1
2. CONVOLUTION
Using convolution for 7.1 playback, autoselect filter based on sample rate is selected (I have filters for 44.1khz and 48khz), normalize selected
I hope you will help me sort out this mess :-)
Best regards,
Mikkel
