Can we get some kind of adaptive driver or something?

Now that I have spent some time with the Nu Audio card, it seems to me there is some kind of "thing" about going over 192K in most apps and games. Many things will just flat out not work over 192K. I do not think something magical is happening between 192 and 384k. So without getting into that old worn out debate about "how humans can't hear or perceive over 16 bit 44khz audio" thing, that is not the purpose of this thread. So what if its "junk data" and not real 384K?  I wonder why the apps and games are stonewalling after 192khz? The point is this.........there must be something that could be done driver wise to let this thing run EVERY thing compatibility wise. Because I catch instances all the time of things that DO work that were clearly not originally recorded at 384.

    It would be nice but I normally play the same games and only will turn it down if I am actively playing a game that requires it lower. It’s not been at least for me that big of a problem since I have only ran into a few single player games that I needed to lower it for.

    I've noticed this too, even in some browsers and media players. I don't think it's an issue on the audio card's side though. I just think there's not much out there that supports over 192KHz and/or 24-bit right now. As we know, the mic doesn't support over 192KHz either.

    Most microphones have a frequency response 20 kHz or lower. 192 kHz sample rate on a microphone is beyond ridiculous; especially since the frequency response of the analog input and output of the card doesn't get anywhere near that high.

    If the the frequency response of the analog output of the card is somewhere around 60 kHz, the frequency response of your speakers drops off somewhere around 18 kHz (probably), and the frequency response of your ears is 20 kHz (best case), why even use 192 kHz sample rate?

    It doesn't matter here. I was merely stating a fact. It's even mentioned in the app.
