>Description:
Creative Labs' Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and other audio cards have the ability to play and record 24 bit audio.  24 bit audio usually comes in "DVD-Audio" format, MPEG2.  When I tried to play a 24 bit OGG (flac) file, I had several errors, one per program I was trying to play it with.  They were like: "Can't open dsp", "Error initializing sound", etc.  But every other audio, either 16 bit or 8 bit, is playing fine.  DVD-audio, along with HDTV, has a growing popularity.

>How-To-Repeat:
In a system that has 24 bit audio I/O support, try to play a DVD-audio.

>Fix:
I'm not sure if even opensound.com has 24 bit capability.
