RE: Windows 10 and 41,000 Hz audio

Pretending that 44.1 kHz is SO important for watching youtube or whatever on your PC is rubbish, honestly.
As long as it plays, it's fine.
In this context worrying about sound quality would be wasted energy.
Now if Win10 somehow refused to let your music player software, like foobar, play your existing .wav files at 44.1kHz, now THAT would be a problem. But I wouldn't put it past the intellectual property lawyers to arrange something like that, since by now there must be billions of .wav hard drive copies of CDs burned by, say, EAC or dB power amp, and those are potentially copyright issues for any software manufacturer, including Microsoft. These are real issues. I certainly doubt there is any paid lobby which would pay to have 44.1khZ decoding included in the feature set of win10. But Microsoft would look pretty stupid if it refused to play its own .wav file format completely.
