hello to all i wonder if there is a way to enable the selection of audio bit depth in the control panel i use Hercules DJ Console Mk4 not as primary i use it with VDJ but the selecion to change from 16 bit 44100 48100 and so on it is not accessible (Grey out) so what i am asking is there away to enable it via the regedit or from somewhere else ''also i has the same problem when i update my Realtek AC'97 Audio''
I hope I was detailed
Realtek AC97 is an old audio chip. Current RealTek chips are "HD Audio".
16 bit/44.1Khz is standard "CD quality" audio (what audio CD's use). 48Khz is for syncing with some video. Higher bitrates on playback won't give you any better fidelity. I have a recording studio and record at 24 bit 44.1Khz but the 24 bit is only because I can have more headroom when recording, otherwise 16 bit is just as good. When I mixdown it is to the audio standard 16bit 44.1Khz.
For DJ applications, many song files are in an MP3 format and that is a compressed format and if you convert that to a wav format you will never regain any lost fidelity, it will still be at whatever (something less than full fidelity) fidelity the compressed MP3 file is at.
thanx You were in great detail
