I'm a bit confused about what is the best playback driver to use in Foobar2000. I have options:

Default: SPEAKERS (AUDIOLAB Audio)
Default: SPEAKERS (AUDIOLAB Audio) [Exclusive]
ASIO: IUSBAudio ASIO Driver
WASPI event: Speakers (AUDIOLAB Audio)
WASPI push: Speakers (AUDIOLAB Audio)

I have some 32bit FLAC files and they only play with Default: SPEAKERS (AUDIOLAB Audio) and ASIO: IUSBAudio ASIO Driver.

I want it so Windows is not messing around with the audio ie resampling.

If you are using WASAPI in Exclusive mode, you bypass the audio stack of the OS.
Because of this, wjhat is send to the DAC should match its capabilities.
1 x 24-bit/96kHz USB is the max for USB.
So sending 32 bit will fail, likewise 176 kHz or 192 kHz.
