[QUOTE="Waterhond, post: 676721, member: 1200"] The reason for Windows shared mode being "locked in" to one sample rate is because the audio resources are shared. You could be listening to a Youtube video when Windows might want play a notification sound at the same time. This requires that a common sample rate ("shared mode")needs to be used. You can't change this behaviour for shared mode as far as I know. When you use dedicated media playback software like Foobar or the Korg player you go into exclusive mode and the sample rate can change on the fly as required. To me higher bitrates also sound smoother and more cohesive with more solid stereo placement and depth, but I suspect it also depends on the quality of the original recording. [/QUOTE]
