Gee, Tom, that's never been a problem for me. Via USB to Benchmark DACs, using ASIO, KS, or WASAPI, Foobar will automatically output native rates and change on the fly (unlike Mac OS). This is with no other processing plugins in the virtual signal path, which I almost never use. I confirmed this when I got the DAC2, which indicates sr/bit-depth. It requires no intervention and has worked that way on Win7, 8.1, and 10. It doesn't care what the Windows default setting is, as the Benchmark drivers bypass that internal system. Hardware interfaces that use Windows native drivers may behave differently. -----Original Message----- From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Tom Fine Sent: Friday, November 06, 2015 9:58 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARSCLIST] Geek question - is there any way to get Foobar2000 to automatically change to a file's native sample/bitrate in Win7? I have tried figuring this out on Google and nothing I'm searching gets me there. I use Foobar2000 as my primary audio player on my Win7 computers in the studio. Foobar seems to default to the Windows Sound setting for the actual output sample/bitrate, no matter what is native to the file. So, if I'm listening to multiple files from the studio, HDTracks and CDs, I have to keep opening up the Sound control panel and changing the settings to match the file. Is there any way to make Foobar do this, take control of these settings and then change them based on the file parameters? -- Tom Fine
