The entire reason I'm posting this is because I just configured my PS3 for 176.4khz audio output and I listened to some music I had stored on it and I couldn't believe how much better it sounded than my PC, so now I need to figure out how to get 176.4khz output from my PC to my receiver, but the option is missing and my receiver only supports a maximum of 176.4khz. I can select 192khz, but the receiver defaults to 44.1khz because it doesn't support 192khz. The maximum supported output sample rate I can output to the receiver, from the selectable options on the PC, is 96khz and I'm not satisfied after hearing the PS3 at 176.4khz.
It's onboard audio and I'm using the optical output to the receiver. The chip is Realtek ALC1150 7.1ch with "Purity Sound" 115dB SNR and it has been great for what I need so far except for that one limitation, no 176.1khz option for output, which now I think I need. Is it a hardware limitation or software limitation? Am I going to have to get a sound card to get what I need? I always remember this option being available on my last few computers which had even worse onboard audio... so kinda bummed. Any help is appreciated!
