16bit, 48000hz (DVD Quality)

Worked for me, I set it to 48000hz because back when 24bit worked the game would crash with any hz higher then 48000.

Thanks for your help I change the 24bit, 48000hz (studio Quality) to 16bit, 48000hz (DVD Quality) and it work now. But dose this produce low Quality sound 24bit is better than 16bit right?

yeah 24bit is better then 16bit but 16bit is better then 24bit that does not work! There may be another solution to this problem but this is the only one that I know of.
