Windows 10: Sample rate and bit depth unchangeable

I ran into a problem whilst trying to fix the same problem as this post but I couldn't get the sample rate and bit depth to change and it seems locked for some reason.

I am unable to change the sample rate and bit depth of my speakers

I am currently experincing an issue on my laptop, the Lenovo Ideapad 530s AMD version. The speakers in question are the onboard Realtek speakers.

My problem is as follows, the box for changing the sample rate and bit depth is grayed out, and I cannot click on it.

It seems to me that I have tried many things, but none of them have worked.

• Deleted previous drivers and installed the newest ones
• Disabled the speakers completely and enabled them again
• Restarting my laptop
• Clicking various random boxes with no success.

I hope somebody can help resolve this issue

Thanks in advance

 

Select the sample rate and bit depth to used when running in shaerd mode?

Hi Aman,

These settings on how audio will play out of your speakers. If you have a high quality speaker or is intended to be used on high settings, you can change the sample rates to have the best quality available. If not, I advise setting it to 16 bit 44100 hz
as this is usually the default sample rate. In regards to performance, having mismatched qualities on the speaker and sample rate would let the audio have poor sound quality.

Let me know if there's anything else you need.

 

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.
