Sound card Noob question

[zarrexx]

Hi, I recently got a sound card (Asus Xonar Phoebus) and i would just like to know how to configure this part:(in picture)

 

should I put the Sample Rate and Bit Rate to the Highest? or just keep it this way?

[prolemur]

I think highest is better

24 bit 192KHz for sure. Though most music and movies etc.. Are in 44.1KHz 16bit. But windows sounds and most games will be at what you set it to.

192 with 24 bits.

24-bit and uhm.. I leave my sample rate at 44.1kHz. The 24-bits part is much more important that the sample rate

kHz is just as important I always set it as high as I can.

Most Music (originating from CDs) is 44.1kHz

Most Movies (originatingfrom DVDs, Blu-Rays) are 48kHz (or multiples of that)
