Maybe a "component' could be termed a plugin. In
File>Preferences>Components, you can install support for ASIO, Kernel
Streaming, and WASAPI. That may be what you're missing. The HiLo probably
supports them all, but certainly ASIO. Try installing that and WASAPI
support, then under Output, select the Device menu entry that shows the HiLo
in one or both interface types. NOT DS! That's the Windows interface, IIRC.
It should show at least one of those named for the HiLo, or as a generic USB
device.
One way to check this is to play an 88.2 file. Win7 doesn't support it; it
will resample or just not work. If you get 88.2 on your converter, it is
bypassing the Windows mixer.

to automatically change to a file's native sample/bitrate in Win7?
Also, is there some parameter deep in the Sound control panel that turns
control of this over to the playback software? Sony Soundforge doesn't have
this problem with the Lynx HiLo -- it seems designed to take control of all
this stuff in the background. Also, Carl are you sure you don't have a
Foobar plugin that is controlling this? If so, which plugin?
