Silently downsample to 48kHz? Anyway, a different topic I guess)ĮDIT: the audio interface was set to 44.1kHz 24-bit.

(but what happens if even higher grade material is played? Will I get a warning if Windows is not going to increase the hardware rate above 48kHz, or will it (yes?) So,Īs far as I can see, the default settings that the Realtek driver used (48kHz, 24-bit) made sense.

Given that Windows 7 does not change the hardware config on the fly (like XP used to), I would have thought that a default rate of 48kHz (and 24-bit) would make a LOT more sense, because otherwise 48kHz material will be downsampled to 44.1kHz.

(I forget what I had it set to before the install, but whatever it was it wasn't 16-bit, so I assume that the class driver install did change the settings.
However, the class driver defaults to 44.1kHz 16-bit, I think. I.e, if the sample rate of the hardware is set to 48kHz, artifacts are audible in 44.1kHz content. The same problem occurs with the HD Audio Class driver. On Windows 7, it produces aliasing in the same way that YouTube does, when WaveOut is chosen) (the application that I used for playing the test tone was Winamp, which allows DirectSound or WaveOut toīe chosen. Test, because I am using the same USB audio interface that has it's own control panel, and displays the sample rate that is set at any moment in time. I am quite sure the sample rate of the hardware remains steady on 48kHz for the duration of the Tone from the second one using WaveOut, I do not hear any aliasing, even when XP's "sample rate conversion quality" is set to the LOWEST quality setting. So, on XP, if I open an application that requests 48kHz, and then open an application that requests 44.1kHz, and play a test Otherwise, XP seems to change the sample rate according to the content. Hardware to the rate that the first application requested. I am testing this on XP by opening TWO applications simultaneously, so that XP locks the sample rate of the I am unable to make Windows XP produce any noticable aliasing. If YouTube (via the Adobe FLASH player, yes?) is using WaveOut, is it possible to configure it to use Directsound instead? There is some prior discussion of this issue at this blog: Īccording to a user there, the problem occurs if the application uses the WaveOut API. Toshiba NB300 netbook, Windows 7 Starter. (i.e, Windows only allows the bit depth & channels to be changed - not the I have tried this test with both the internal audio interface, and a high quality USB audio interface, with the same result.įor the internal audio interface, I change the sample rate (and format) via the Advanced properties of the Playback device.įor the external interface, which has it's own control panel, I set the sample rate in that control panel, and then in the Windows playback properties I can only change the format. If I change my audio interface to 44.1kHz, the aliasing goes away (and the sound is very pure) On Windows 7, if the sample rate of the audio interface is set to a different rate to that of the audio in the YouTube clip, artifacts may be audible.įor example, if the audio interface is set to a sample rate of 48kHz, and the following test tone clip is played, I hear aliasing: Nevertheless, I think/hope that the problem I am experiencing is relevant to this forum.
