I have a couple questions about Vista SP1 and Foobar2000/WASAPI (keep in mind I am using a X-Fi set to Audio Creation Mode with bit perfect output):
1. Can I set the Default Format for Shared Mode under the SPDIF Out Properties in Vista to anything I want without it effecting Exclusive mode (i.e. Foobar using WASAPI)?
Basically, if I set the Default Format to 2 channel, 16bit, 48kHz, then will my Exclusive mode 2 channel, 16bit, 44.1kHz .wav files still play bit perfect without upsampling to 48kHz in Foobar2000 using WASAPI?
...or what if I set the Default Format to 2 channel, 24bit, 96kHz, then will my Exclusive mode 2 channel, 16bit, 44.1kHz .wav files still play bit perfect without upsampling to 24bit, 96kHz?
2. If I set Foobar2000 to 24bit Output data format, then will 16bit files still output at 16bit when in Exclusive mode?
