Yashu:

I did some light reading on the Audigy 4.

It appears many users are complaining about the resampling issue with these cards, the same issue that was well known with the Audigy 2 series cards. (A4 uses the same engine as A2).

So, you may be getting a 44.1khz output, but if the card uses the Kmixer exclusively, then you've definately been resampled to and from 48khz.

The guys on the forums were talking about a unoffical driver to get the card to have a bitperfect output.

It doesn't look good for the Audigy 4, Yashu.

Oh, and to test slider positions, get a program called "virtual audio cable" and some recording software. You can patch the output of a device into the input of a recording device using a "virtual patch cable". This way, you can test what is played back for bit-transparency. Simply time-align the recorded material with the original, clip off the ends of both tracks and subtract them. A bit-perfect transfer will mean the subtraction is X-X=0 for each bit. The maximum sample should be zero. Anything other than zero, and you've had bits that have changed status in the process.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Presto
