I don't know what output you are referring to when you say "native"... all 3 are native to the card... but only one works, the 24/96 labeled one. I don't know if this resamples or not though.

I can select 44.1 in the control panel, but again I don't even know if that does anything.

As for the 32bit thing, the two non 24/96 outputs list only 16bit not 32 in foobar, only the 24/96 one lists 32bit and that one works there just like in winamp like I described. My dac is supposed to be only a 16bit dac, but I see some people online say it will accept 24/96, so I don't know... and even if it could only take 16bit, it would not tell me whether it is 44.1 or 48khz... sigh. Maybe I could borrow a friend's a/v reciever for the DTS test.

I also still don't know what is "zero gain" with the sliders... This is THE most important thing that I need to figure out... because I could be losing all sorts of dynamic range by having this wrong. If I cannot find out what slider setting is for zero gain then I just can't use the card at all for my music.

I tried the "udial" sample test to try to see if I could tell where zero gain was by if I got clipping or not... well putting the slider all the way at the top doesn't clip, but it is louder then what I know for sure to be zero gain from a USB s/pdif adapter... so zero gain may be slider at 90%... there is just no way to know unless it is documented somewhere.
