![]() ![]() Feel free to check it if you have the means to, I'd be thankful to know if it is correct. My assumption, that integer multiples of the sample rate would lead to less artifacts during upsampling sounds plausible to me, but is yet to be proven. But I currently lack the time and patience to do so. And yes, I know: To have absolute peace of mind, I would have to measure and compare my current solution to the alternatives. I don't care about distortion components at -135 dB or so for the 48 kHz stuff and I assume that the 44.1 kHz content performs better than that when upsampled to 88.2. ![]() I don't want to manually switch sample rates every 30 minutes - I don't want to ever do that. There is no perfect solution for everybody. The post was mostly about letting interested people know about that driver issue/solution, because it was new to me. Anyway - all this probaly won't make any audible difference and I could just have gone with 96 or 192 kHz and forgot about it, but 88.2 looked like the cleanest solution to me.Ĭlick to expand.Honestly: I thought about not giving any reason and just putting the info about the driver into the reply, because I already expected the random criticism. And while 176.4 kHz isn't supported on my Realtek chip, 88.2 was supposed to be working but couldn't be enabled. This left me looking for integer multiples of 44.1 kHz. My original motivation to enable 88.2 kHz was that I listen to mixed content (44.1 & 48 kHz) and wanted to avoid upsampling errors for the 44.1 kHz stuff, while also avoiding downsampling to that rate for the 48 kHz content. I originally found this info here and have succesfully tested it on my mainboard, which uses an older Realtek ALC892 codec. You need to uninstall that driver and use the basic HD audio driver provided by Microsoft, which is automatically installed after a reboot. However, the original Realtek driver doesn't offer this sample rate. This is related to Windows audio quality and only affects Realtek HD codecs, so I thought I'd share it here: I recently learned that Realtek HD audio codecs do support 88.2 kHz output over S/PDIF under Windows 10 (and probably 7 and 11). ![]()
