Sample Rate limit

[Trilyan]

"Sample Rate limit" option could be useful, just like the already present "limit output bit depth", as I use portable MusicBee with different DACs and the same music library, where not all rates are always supported.
Just re-sampling every single file with the current "Re-sample to" option may also re-sample supported sample rates (by the DAC used at the moment) or even lower sample rates than the chosen one, and that is just overkill.
Thanks for the support! It's been almost a year using MusicBee now, and I'm loving every single minute spent with it

So... today I had the same great idea, and had to check if I've already had posted it. And it indeed seems I did 

Just to explain my current situation, I've got a DAC that when it gets 96 kHz it cuts off Sub Woofer signal (it is like that by design, as the manual states). I like HD sound, but personally I think that trading the SW for it is not worth it, so when playing music there I'd like to have my 96 kHz files resampled to 48 kHz (which I can already do with the present option and sounds great) but that also up-samples my 41 kHz to 48 kHz when they come up, which is not ideal as I understand.

what do you think Steven? is it a good idea to implement? Or is there a work around I'm missing here? 

[Trilyan]

Guess I'm the only one really wanting this...

+1 for more control over sample rates. For example to be able to resample 44.1kHz files but leave native 48kHz and 96kHz files alone etc.

Glad to know I'm not alone 

Bumping this up Steve

Assuming you are running Win7 or 10:

1) Right-click on volume control icon in the system tray, select playback devices.

2) Right-click on your DAC, select Properties.

3) Select the Advanced tab. Set your preferred sample rate and bit depth under Default Format.

Does that resolve the issue for you?

Thank you CritterMan for the comment, but I don't think you understood the post .

This is the Wishlist topic, so we are not reporting an issue.

Also, the steps you are providing us just help setting a default output to the DAC, blindingly re-sampling all audio into the desired output, which is essentially the same feature that MusicBee has already incorporated.

What I was proposing here, is an option for MusicBee to smartly re-sample the audio depending on it's original format.

 That way we can avoid up-sampling and re-sampling of files that are already in a desired sample rate in the first place.

Sorry, reflexive phrasing. I'm one of those tech support people you deal with when your electronics go feral.

I see what you're going for now.

It would be nice to have a table like

< 44.1 = 44.1
44.1 = 44.1
48=48
..
176=88
192=96
..
384=96

So for each PCM sample rate 44/48/88/96/176/192/352/384 you can  choose what the resampling should be (44/48/88/96/176/192/352/384) and unity (44=44) of course means no sample rate conversion at all
It would even be nice if this is not a propertie of the player but tied to the specific audio device.

That would be heaven
