I would like to ask if there is a driver for better data rate than 48.0 kHz/24 depth because now it sounds very flat, not acceptable sound for my ears when lisen to music and other audio compared to my old ASUS laptop which was capable of 192.0 kHz/24. I have to say it is a huge difference. I hope there is a way how it can be set also on HP Pavilion Power laptop please see attached image:
There are only 2 formats and 24 Bit/96kHz or 24 Bit/192 kHz is missing. It is a big fail if HP notebook hardware is capable running only 24 bit/48kHz Max. I am waiting for advice or statement if that is even possible
Thanks.
