Same issue with a USB audio out: No 24bit option!?
Authored by: fellowweb on Jul 31, '09 10:13:36AM

Hey, it is not 10 minutes ago that I disappointedly switched from my external USB sound card to my Mac mini's internal audio out due to the USB sound card's mediocre output.
Opening Google Reader, this is the first post which shows up. Not bad. :)
However, looking through the settings in Audio MIDI Setup I cannot switch the USB audio's 16bit to the 24bit setting. 16bit is the only option offered.
Is my USB sound so low-profile? Is there a trick to convince it to switch to 24bit?
Your help would be highly appreciated!

Well, if your USB DAC is 16bit (most are) then it reports 16bit to the system. It will still be better than the built-in crap at any setting.
