Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

Thanks - you are very thorough

Looks like Realtek driver capabilities are dependent on the chipset, and the driver itself is limited to 16-bits.

That's a real shame.

Have you tried switching the HD audio driver from the Realtek driver to the generic Microsoft UAA driver? [Go to Device Manager, right click on audio device, select update driver, then choose the generic Microsoft UAA driver instead of Realtek]

I might try this on my PC with ALC883 and see if that enables 24-bit output. From memory, this did not work on Vista, but might work on XP.
