Quote:
The audio stream captured from our hardware is always 24-bit samples. These samples are not altered or processed in any way by the driver when recording. The Windows audio control panel may say the device is in 16 bit mode, but the ASIO driver bypasses the Windows audio system, and is therefore not affected by this setting.

Therefore, using 24 bit depth in your recording software, while using the ASIO driver, is still 24 bit when recording/creating, where 24 bit actually matters.


To me that is kind of confusing, especially the last part.
I seem to find that 'somewhere' in the signal chain the 16/24 conversion causes this and try to set everything to 24 bit.
Just my experience.

If you hear these clicks with no other software involved (direct monitoring) it would possibly be a cable/interference issue, but you recorded your example somehow so I have to assume some software was involved. If not, look farther upline.

Make your sound your own!
