[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 479848, member: 10858"] Isn't it pretty sad that the only(?) audio card that is able to bitstream the Blu-ray high end formats directly to the receiver is not able to chose the output frequency on it's own? :P I might go with the upsampling to 192k choice (true, upsampling wont create any better sounding output than the original) as 44.1k to 192k upsampiling is most likely not creating as bad artefacts as the much smaller scale downsampling from 48 to 44.1. Its always much harder to upsample / downsample (resize with video) when the source and destination are close to each other. Best way would be to ask Asus why their drivers wont allow automatic selection for the output frequency.
