Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

Go into Windows Media Player options

Under Devices, select Speakers properties, then select the audio output stream (speaker or SPDIF) properties, I think in the Advanced tab you can change the sample rate (it defaults to 48/16, which means everything is resampled to this rate).

Otherwise, I suspect you are incurring the penalty of dual resampling (WMP resamples to 48, and then Creative resamples back to 44.1!)

I wish there was an option to not resample, but preserve the sample rate of the source, and change the audio driver to match the sample rate dynamically. However, this would require exclusive access to the audio device, which is probably the reason Microsoft didn't implement it that way.

However, I'm looking forward to third party audio applications implementing exclusive access.
