Has anyone found a definitive answer to why the 2496 only plays back at 16-bit under WinXP? Is it MAudio's driver?
I've searched all of these forums and read the other posts.
The .27 driver [according to MAudio] is supposed to have 24-bit support for WDM, MME, ...
I tried the .29 driver and I totally lost all sound on the card, it didn't work at all, so I rolled back to .27 and all is working again except still only playback at 16-bits.
Is anyone else having luck (or problems) with the .29 driver?
This would really be nice to get fixed!
Thanks,
David

I have the same card, XP(with Service Pack 1)and the 27 driver. It records and plays back fine at 24(32) bit. You say "playback' but I assume you want to record something at 24(32) bit. CEP needs to be set for recording 32 bit. In CEP 2.1 you can make 32 bit the default in Options>Settings>Multitrack or select it from the Record Devices (REC button) in Multitrack view. M-Audio has said some people are having problems with the 29 driver.
Not related to your question but I've found that some players (Winamp) don't seem to be able to play waves recorded at the higher bit depth while some (Media Player) work fine. Maybe I'm missing a setting somewh
