įWIW on a properly configured Win XP x32 or 圆4 system and software you can playback audio just fine also just dont try to run 75- 100 + VST's and all your Midi's at the same time in a studio ☻☻. Ofc I'm not using a motherboard sound chip either.įWIW it's been that way since Win 7 came out along with some decnt drivers from the vendors unless you belive the marketing spin J river and some others perpetuate which was never all that accurate anyway. It's not the thing it used to be before W7. On a fast low latency CPU on a properly configured system with decent drivers and HDWE W10 sounds fine on the Win 7/8/10 audio stack The Win 10 UI Groove Music app ofc uses Grace Notes and Rovi. It also auomatically gets cover art and meta data for when it imports links from your Music library files like WMC & WMP. I'm playing some 24/44.1 FLAC right now on this daily driver /experimental upgraded HP P7 with ASIO drivers on the new Windows 10 Groove Music UI app player I configured for local playback and files only which is a settings option.
