USB Sound Settings

My Windows 11 PC allows me to set my PC sound output to "Realtec Speakers" (headphones plugged into PC) to 24-bit, 192,000 Hz, but it limits by usb output to 16-bit, 48,000 Hz. But my usb is plugged into my 24-bit 192k capable Fosi Audi DAC, which then is connected to nice passive speakers. Why can't I set (or how can I set) my usb output to 24-bit, 192k? Thanks.

Which DAC are you using? The limit of it is likely 16/48.

I'm searching... Qobuz is set at 192k. OS is set for 192k to headphones but only 48K to USB.

Are you using Qobuz software or other? 

 

Do you have WASAPI or ASIO drivers loaded for the DAC? Make sure you have that as your soundcard driver. This is from my client Win 11 machine in my office.

Thank you so much!! I never noticed that before and was not careful when I purchased. I guess my options are to find a DAC that supports higher usb input, or perhaps more likely, look into optical connection (wondering if HDMI to optical converter may work?)

USB Input Sampling Frequency 16Bit/48kHz
Optical/Coaxial Input Sampling Frequency

 

 24Bit/192kHz

 

 

From the FOSI website - so you will not get more than 16/48 - sorry there.

 

Need a different DAC.

If your computer have TOSLINK optical output, it can be used to send 24bit 192kHz 2ch stereo PCM signal to your DAC.

 

There are many USB to S/PDIF converters that support 24/192 such as minidsp USBStreamer B.

 

There are many capability variations:

  • some USB to S/PDIF converter support only 16/44.1 and 16/48
  • some support only 24/96 (cannot deliver 16/44.1 nor 16/48)
  • some support 16/44.1, 24/44.1, 16/48, 24/48, 16/96 and 24/96
  • some support 16/44.1, 24/44.1, 16/48, 24/48, 16/96, 24/96, 16/192 and 24/192
  • some support 16/44.1, 24/44.1, 16/48, 24/48, 16/88.2, 24/88.2, 16/96, 24/96, 16/176.4, 24/176.4 ,16/192 and 24/192
  • some support more exotic sample rates such as 16/32, 16/64, 16/128.

Some USB to S/PDIF converters support 24/192 only with coax output and TOSLINK is limited to 24/96 due to the optical transmitter limitation, most recent 24/192 capable converters support 24/192 with both coax and TOSLINK

 

24/176.4 support is needed to send DoP DSD 2.8MHz signal to DoP capable DAC.

 

HDMI to 24/192 S/PDIF conversion is technically possible but more challenging way to achieve it

Perfect. Thanks. PC doesn't have TOSLINI but just purchased a USB/SPDIF converter that says it handles 24/192k.
