Can't play 24-bit/192khz flac audio files
Posted: 23 Nov 2013 05:44
I know you guys have your hands full looking into various audio problems with VLC, but I wonder if you could have a look at these logs and give me some hints as to why I can't play any 24-bit/192 khz flac files.
This is from VLC 2.1.0:
The following is what I think are the relevant debug lines from VLC 1.1.5 trying to play the same file (which also doesn't work):
For both versions of VLC, I have float32 turned off. I could swear that I used to be able to play these files in the past. I've reinstalled the sound drivers (C-Media CMI 9738 chip) and also reinstalled directX (9c version December 2006).
16-bit / 44 khz flac files play just fine. Any ideas?
