Now on the next screen, select Search automatically for drivers. Go to Sound, video, and game controllers, right-click Realtek ® Audio and select Update driver. Type devmgmt.msc and hit Enter to open Device Manager. If you buy a CD or MP3, the composer and the performer (or their heirs or current copyright holders) both get about 5-10 cents. Press Windows + R to open the Run window. If you pirate it, they only get a fraction of a penny once. With “regular music” the artist gets a fraction of a penny every time it’s streamed. If they wanted you to have a personal copy, there would be a “download” button. Most of it is copyrighted and it’s a violation of (most) streaming agreements. …Plus, you’re not supposed to be pirating streaming audio. For example, if it didn’t up-scale 8-bit data it would be too quiet to hear on a 24-bit DAC. You can play 8-bit, 16-bit, or 24-bit audio no matter the capabilities of your DAC. No matter what you’re using the bit depth will be re-sampled to match your DAC or ADC. But I wouldn’t expect it to change the sample rate if Audacity is set to match the streaming sample-rate. The same is also true with loopback, plus loopback can play a mix of audio sources, which obviously isn’t bit-perfect. The drivers take care of any necessary conversion without telling you. It’s for compatibility, just like you can view a high-resolution image on any-old monitor. That way, any-old soundcard can play 24/192, etc. “Regular” WASAPI, DirectSound, and MME will all resample when necessary during recording or playback. But it may be impossible to “capture” ASIO playback like with loopback. You can add ASIO support if you are a programmer and you can compile Audacity yourself.ĪSIO is hardware drivers so it should be unrelated to streaming capture. WASAPI Exclusive mode is supposed to play bit-perfectly and assume it can record bit-perfectly from an ADC or audio interface.īecause of licensing, Audacity doesn’t “ship” with ASIO support. Most streaming is compressed and Windows is going to decompress or otherwise convert it to make it playable. There are apparently ways to play bit-perfect streaming audio, but I don’t know about capturing/recording it. Audacity is an easy-to-use, multi-track audio editor and recorder for Windows, macOS, GNU/Linux and other operating systems. Most streaming is compressed, and Windows is going to decompress or otherwise convert it to make it playable on your hardware. … Wasapi Shared mode result in a bit perfect capture? As I understand this will be done entirely in the digital domain using internal Wasapi loopback. The Realtek Optical out goes from my PC to DAC
