Pardon my n00bishness...
I've searched google, emulator forums, read through tech docs and NESSOUND.txt, etc...but I'm still not 100% sure on this. You guys are ultimately THE council of wisemen when it comes to this stuff, so I figured that if anyone would have the answer it would be you.
I'm trying to get as accurate sound as possible out of Nestopia, and I'm using an X-Fi sound card with "bit-matched playback". This playback mode supposedly matches the sample rate of the source without any upsampling or sketchy conversion; the idea is to output the most accurate sound. Unfortunately, I don't know what the sample rate or bit depth should be set to in the emulator in the first place.
Like I said, I'm using Nestopia, and Nestopia's archived forums don't offer much in the way of a definitive answer on this AFAIK.
The X-Fi's max sample rate is 96000 hz, 16-24 bit (would 8-bit sound simply be converted to 16 bit anyway?).
Nestopia's default is 44100 and 16 bit, but considering my hardware is this really the most accurate solution? I've been trying 96000 and 8-bit, but I'm not sure it's the way to go... So what should the settings be for the most "accurate" emulation?
