It's quite typical and probably is S/PDIF bandwidth limitation (not sure); you have to use HDMI to get more. There is no error because 24/192 streams in itself work fine, and DAC chip on audio card can process that stream - it's just that there is trouble either sending it through S/PDIF or receiving by external DAC, which is outside of the scope of your card, so there is no error. -- Vladimir ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
