However I may have extrapolated what you said too far to mean that the MME API can never record 16-bit (I've seen that both stated and contradicted elsewhere in the past). In fact the user who can record 24-bit with Audacity says he can do so with MME as well as DirectSound. But the other user (who has an EMU USB sound card) says he can only record 16-bit in Audacity even using the DirectSound API in 1.3.7, but CoolEdit (which I think uses DirectSound) lets him record 24-bit. So is there still some issue? http://audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=8653&start=40 Gale -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/recording-24bit-tp2414952p2426554.html Sent from the audacity-devel mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |
