It will handle 24 bit, 96k samples. For some reason or other, the emu10k1 driver will not let it ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jcdutton - 04-26-06 22:20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Please provide output from: cat /proc/asound/cards cat /proc/asound/version 24bit is not supported on all Audigy cards in linux yet. The 24bit is a special mode that bypassed the DSP. Unfortunately, the bypass method is different one almost every Audigy card, so until all the different methods are supported, it will not work on all Audigy cards. Also 24bit capture on a PC sound card is next to pointless due to computer noise introduced and low quality codecs and front end components. You might get 18bits of real quality, but I doubt even that. There are exceptions to that in the really expensive professional sound capture devices that also have a PC interface, but very few of them work with Linux. E.g. the EMU1212m.
