The default playback device should be right choosen and I have sometimes to even close foobar and reload the desired page..

Stopping the music and/or closing foobar will turn off wasapi. You will have to reload a page to get sound online (e.g. a youtube video you were loading while foobar was running).

even if i stop foobar and then go to youtube, no sound.

 

only if i change settings in "control panel>sound>hd spdif>properties" (windows 7) do i get sound.

 

from the "drop menu"

24 bit 192000 hz does not work online, but does on foobar.

24 bit   48000 hz works on both. (but i think foobar does not sound as good as above, could be me)

 

i am using windows drivers for my spdif output.

 

if i install the latest "soundmax" drivers i do not get an option to output 24bit!!

and again, it could be me, but it dont sound as good.

I have had the same issue today when using Wasapi optical out.

 

Actually my settings in the shared mode are normally 44.1/16 all the time because of my music files..and that is why I dont have these problems

 

Maybe you can try the Asio driver.
