Stuck at 24 bit 192000 Hz

[blunted]

Hello, thanks for looking at my thread.

One of my programs needed me to use 24bit 48000 Hz, so I go into control panel, sound, click the device, go to advanced, and whatever I change my sampling rate to it says the format is not supported by the device. I use a creative sound titanium professional card. I figure such a card would be able to play any rate, in any bit. But I am stuck at 24 bit, 192000 hz. I even hit the default format of 24 bit, 48000 hz and press ok, says format not supported by the device. Is that really true or what is going on?

^^ Thats odd, even for a Creative card. Its NOT allowing you to select 44.1/48KHz audio?

Also, you don't have to change the output. If the program needs to use 48KHz, thats exactly what it will use. The soundcard upsamples the audio after the fact, so having a higher sample rate selected shouldn't be causing any problems...

Was busy last night, sorry I couldn't get back. Well I didn't want to say the program is Skyrim cause the mod threw it to the video game forum without even reading it. It will crash for some reason unless you manually select it to play 44.1 or 48 hz.

But yes, with the creative card, its not allowing me select anything else. Everything fails to play test tone except 24 bit 192000 hz and will say format not supported by the device if I just hit apply or ok. I was thinking of just reinstalling the whole thing, but I can't find my CD and you can't get the creative control panel from their site. Even more of a head scratch, I can't even use my onboard sound anymore to see if that being selected at 192000 hz is doing something.

Skyrim

crash

A game made by Bethdesia that horrifically unstable? Never!

Creative cards typically don't play nice with other audio devices; that could be the problem. Granted, there no reason why that should happen...

I'd uninstall the Creative drivers, and give either the Daniel_K or PAX drivers a try.

Alright, thanks for the tip, I'll try them and see how they work. And yeah, it is insane how they can release products like this.
