[francesco]

Hi

may i ask a question ?
i did search a lot
well in my desktop i have windows 7 64 , on my laptop i had installed xp sp3 and tried windows 7 32
in the laptop there is a realtek hd

well same laptop , same audio card but under windows 7 i can set 24 playback and to be honest the music play better
under xp i did not find the option to enable the 24 playback


i update the realtek audio drivers for w7 and xp but under w7 i have this screenshot , but under xp same drivers version , i haven't such option




i would like to keep on my laptop xp sp3 , is there a way to have such output?
i use a densen lik amp for my stereo

In XP, if you are not playing any other sound and the application that you use allows to output at 24bits, then, the audio will pass as is (except if it requires resampling at the driver's end).

In other words, in XP it is more dependant on the application to use the correct output method (for example, its directsound to support 24bits) than to an OS setting.
