You may find that if you have Youtube open and you try to start a file in your music player, it may not start, or alternately you may find that if you are playing a music file with WASAPI exclusive mode, you will get errors when you open a youtube video. ![]() DS is the base Windows driver and is the one you will hear when using the internet but is generally not bit perfect. ASIO may equal the sound of WASAPI, if your dac has such a driver and may even be lower latency (important for recording studios). I generally use WASAPI exclusive mode as it is technically as good as it gets for sound. When you open those software programs you will be able to find settings that will include any ASIO and WASAPI selections your hardware allows. When you install a music player, such as MusicBee, you will have more advanced options for the playback of high quality files. Most people choose 44.1khz because that is probably the most used bit rate and would require no resampling if the original is file is 44.1khz. This is a decision only you can decide upon, depending on whether or not you want everything resampled to a higher frequency or not. The bit rate or frequency is what Windows 10 is going to resample all your normal audio, such as youtube, to. Generally, you should choose the highest bit depth available (24 or 32). The advanced tab allows you to select the bit depth and sample rate. If you click Device properties and then Additional device properties another window will open where you can choose if you want the dac to be capable of being used in exclusive mode. These do not represent your DAC but you may select them if you wish to use optical/coaxial/hdmi outputs on your motherboard to your dac. If your motherboard has a Realtek audio chip, as most do, you may also have "Realtek Digital Output (optical)" and perhaps a "Realtek Digital Output" for coaxial or hdmi output. If your device uses USB only, it will probably only have your existing device. If you right click on the volume control and choose "open sound settings" you will see a drop down where you can choose your device.
