Vista 64 Sound Properties

I'm using Vista Business 64 bit and went into my Sound Properties menu and saw that I can set my Sample Rate and bit depth to much higher levels then when I was using XP with my old X-Fi XtremeMusic sound card

is it OK to just select the highest sample rate-- 24 bit, 192000 Hz (Studio Quality) and be done with it?...or could setting it too high have some kind of negative effect?...I used the 'Test' feature after applying and it seems to sound fine but I just wanted to double check

I have attached a screen shot to show exactly what I am referring to

**it defaults to 16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)...I am using the Auzentech X-Fi Prelude 7.1 sound card

Re: Vista 64 Sound Properties

You can set 24bit 192HZ on that card.

The max my HT Omega Claro which uses the CMEDIA 8788HD chip can go is 24bit 48HZ. Which is still good.
