Windows 10: Windows keeps resetting my audio bitrate to 32-bit, which my DAC doesn't support

I've been having this problem with Windows 10 as well as Windows 11 64-bit, Home, for about two years now. I've seen multiple people having this exact, but no fix or workaround whatsoever. I believe previous questions/inquiries about this on the Feedback Hub I asked for help on the English and Dutch portals have been deleted. The DAC in question is an M-Audio M-Track 2X2 which seems to pop up a lot around these issues, which goes up to 24-bit bitrates and supports up to 192 kHz frequencies. I've asked M-Audio about this a while back: they said it's probably an issue on Microsoft's side.

Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

Thanks again!!

I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

I ran SeaTools. These are the results:




Does it mean my HDD is useless?

 

Can`t Upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit Windows 10

I tried upgrading my notebook/tablet pc from 32-bit to 64-bit windows 10. But it won`t boot from my usb. I checked if its compatible and followed the steps, but I didn`t get the windows "install now" option.
