Windows 10: can't change sample bit depth for audio

hi so i have discovered i can't change the sample rate or bit depth despite what i try nothing will allow me to change it, i have RealTek ALC295 audio codec on a hp laptop, and it has them new UAD drivers and the B&O audio app from HP but i don't see it in there , so not sure how to change this setting anymore??

Color bit depth is at 6-bit on Display properties of Windows 10 pro

Try the below suggested steps and check if the suggested options are available to change the Color bit Depth value

1. Right click on the desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel.
2. Expand the Display, and then highlight the Change resolution.
3. On the right side, check if there is 8 bpc listed under
   Output color depth.
4. You may select 8 bpc and restart the device to witness the changes.

Changing bit depth/sample rate in playback device settings stops audio output

I get that audio files can have varying bit depths/sampling rates. But my problem is that I am not able to change the setting in Windows which I believe dictates my 'max setting'.

Pretty much all DACs are intelligent enough to know the incoming quality of audio and process it accordingly as far as I understand. So what I want to do is to change the windows setting to 24/96 so that DAC can process higher quality audio as well. Makes
sense? Even the HRT's technical team also agreed that the Windows setting doesn't see right.

 

Changing bit depth/sample rate in playback device settings stops audio output

Hello,

I have a USB DAC (HRT MusicStreamer II) connected to a windows PC (motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-F2A85XN-WIFI featuring Realtek ALC892 audio driver). I noticed recently that when I go to advanced
settings for MusicStreamer (this is my default audio device), sample rate/bit depth is set at 16 bit / 48KHz. Since USB DAC can support up to 24 bit / 96KHz, I changed it to that setting. But when I was playing music from Youtube, the audio stopped working
after about a minute and no sound comes until I reset the audio setting back to 16 bit / 48KHz.

When I checked with HRT, they said that this should be a windows / configuration problem and could not help more. Looking for some help here as to how I can increase my audio setting to play a higher quality audio out.

Thanks,
