Default format?

[orangecat]

Is the default format option in the advanced tab of your audio device the maximum setting?

 

Like if I have it set to 16-Bit @ 44,100Khz will it downsample any audio played at a higher setting (24-Bit @ 192,000Khz for example)?

 

I assume it is just a reference option so if software asks what sample rate or bit depth to play at it knows what it should default to?

 

Currently I have mine set to 16-Bit @ 44,100Khz because I rip my CD's to FLAC and that is the sample rate and bit depth they use.

 

Just incase you didn't know what i was talking about...

For me max wasn't default but I put it there long time ago and sounds good

Assuming you're using DirectSound, then yeah, all other sample rates will be converted (up or downsampled) to the preferred choice. 

 

If you listen to music a lot, may I suggest trying Foobar2k + wasapi plugin?
