How do I switch my sound card to 24 bit, 96Khz mode in Win7? There was an icon in the Win XP control panel to do this, but W7 doesn't have it under Sound.
Thanks.
-Right-click the volume icon on the taskbar and select Playback Devices.
-Double-click on Speakers.
-Click the Advanced tab.
-Under Default Format, select 24 bit, 96000Hz (Studio Quality).FYI, unless you're pumping DVD-Audio or Blu-Ray movies out of some really good speakers, you're not gonna notice a difference between 16 bit/44.1KHz and 24 bit/96KHz. CDs, MP3s, and internet video are all 16/44.1 sources. Games and DVD-Video run at a slightly better 16/48.

"...you're not gonna notice a difference between 16 bit/44.1KHz and 24 bit/96KHz." To add to the above, most humans -- with the exception of a few freaks -- purportedly have a hearing range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz & it allegedly tends to degrade as we age. In other words, you can change the audio-sample rate, just don't be surprised by what you hear or not hear.
"...allegedly tends to degrade as we age." Trust me...it does degrade. 8 track tapes sound good to me now.

Try loss of high frequency sound after 20 years working around military jets. Richard
well, you guys were right. There was nothing special about 24/96.
