== Upper limit of sampling rate == The maximum [[Sampling rate]] that DirectSound can handle is 200 kHz,<ref>[https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/ee419022(v=vs.85) What's New in DirectSound]</ref> and if Windows is set to a sampling rate above 192kHz, e.g. 384kHz which is supported by sound devices such as USB-DACs, applications that handle directsound (such as old games created before the 2010s) may not start, or if they do start, they may not output any sound at all. To resolve this, set the sampling rate to 192 kHz or lower and it will work correctly. Applications that use XAudio2, [[WASAPI]], or [[ASIO]] instead of DirectSound can still operate at 384 kHz.
