thanks, i guess i'll leave it at 44 as i've never heard any hissing
popping on the other hand though, the SVN is useful but resuming playback comes with a pop - is this unusual?
EDIT: i guess its just an issue caused by SVN as a few others have had similar issues, time to disable it then

It is not really a "bug" (at least not a software problem), but the DAC has a higher noise level when running at 44.1, 88.2, or 176.4 kHz, because of the re-clocking at these sample rates by the C-Media chip. This also applies to other Xonar cards. If you do not actually hear any hiss, then you need not really worry about it, and it might not be worth the trouble of software sample rate conversion to reduce already inaudible noise.

That depends on what your headphones are.
