Some sound cards, especially many from Creative Labs silently run at 48kHZ rather than 44.1kHz. You may want to verify that it is really running straight, rather than sample rate converting. Are the two FLAC files identical? That should give you a hint, or skip one Flac to wave conversion, flac the file to WAV/PCM play that, and record it back as a wave. In theory, it should be the same. I would not expect it to be. If you send it out as 24 bit expanded from 16 (all zero in low order bits), capture as 24 bit, and throw away the low order bits, there is a chance it will be identical. You'd probably have to do nice dithering to get it close. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
