hi
when i play a blu ray, dvd or another movie with 48.000 hz audio, vlc will resample it to 44.100 hz.
same with high res audio files (88,2k, 96k, 176k, 192k etc)
everything will be resampled to windows default settings (44.100 hz)
i tried this with 3.06 and 4.0 git.
(i made a posting here)

changing the default windows settings to 48.000 is also not ideal because then everything is resampled to 48.000.
i tried "Windows Multimedia Device Output" like Lotesdelere suggested but it didn't work since vlc has no exclusive wasapi output.
powerdvd, dvdfab media player and mpc be have an exclusive output mode
and can play movies and audio files 1:1 like they were encoded.
i am sure the vlc devs will agree, that audio quality is best 1:1 without resampling.
hope exclusive mode can be added to the wasapi plugin for 4.0 (or next 3.x).
it would greatly improve audio quality of vlc.
thx and greets
