With my old Sound Blaster sound card, I was unable to listen to 24bit/32 bit wavs... Sound Forge reported an error stating the sound card couldn't play back...
But I was able to play 32 bits wavs in Wavelab! It might perform some conversion or something... In any case, nothing prevented me from working with 32 bits wavs, I had trouble only when playing them back. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Bradley" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 2:20 PM Subject: [dnb-prod] RE: 24bit+ files in Windows... > No you shouldn't I don't think. > > Certainly not the frequency.
