It's not needed to produce professional music or video sound. My RME card provides 192 KHz, but I never tested it. Please, can you give an example, when there will be an audible difference between 192 KHz and < 192 KHz? > > > If the sound chip accepts 24/192, > > > then our sound system should be able to use this capability. > > > > Surely. > > That is the actual subject here and I'm sure most people would agree > to the above. At least I hope so! If possible everything should be supported. FWIW I'll test FreeBSD, because I'm missing features of my RME HDSPe AIO on Linux [1]. For producing music, other features are more important, than 192 KHz are. Regards, Ralf [1] I still had no time to set up FreeBSD to test the BSD's HDSPe driver.
