Can Intel HD Graphics handle 24 bit 192 KHz audio?

JBogg1 — Tue, 08 Aug 2017 12:13:06 GMT

I have a dell laptop with Intel 520 graphics. It tops out at 174,2 audio sampling rate. I have some 192 KHz files that I must down sample to play. It doesn't appear that any Intel built in graphics can handle 24 bit 192 KHz audio, but I have not been able to find a definitive answer online (I have tried - I promise).

Does anybody know the answer or where I can find detailed audio specs of Intel HD graphics?

Table 2-17 Processor Supported Audio Formats over HDMI and DisplayPort*

LPCM, 192 kHz/24 bit, 8 Channel : HDMI yes / Display Port yes

The processor will continue to support Silent stream. Silent stream is an integrated

audio feature that enables short audio streams, such as system events to be heard

over the HDMI* and DisplayPort* monitors. The processor supports silent streams over

the HDMI and DisplayPort interfaces at 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, 176.4 kHz,

and 192 kHz sampling rates.

Thank you for the link. My dell does not offer the choice for 24 bit /192 kHz for the Intel display hardware. Obviously I will seek help from Dell. Is it possible to install a non-Dell specific fro the Intel graphics? I tried but the installer prevented me from proceeding.

If you encounter an error message about validation, proceed like this:

I tried it. It said I had the latest drivers installed. I then selected the audio device and was able to update that driver by manually selecting the display audio folder with the "have disk" method. Unfortunately, this did not change anything. I still don't have an option to select 24/192 kHz audio.

When I attempt to play the file with Foobar2000 using the WASAPI direct control output, I get an "unsupported file" message. I can strangely play 192 kHz at 16 bits.
