thanks for the reply. I don't have a discrete sound card (just realtek onboard with optical out and gts 450's hdmi). I found out that AVR doesn't support 96khz FLAC file formats; however these files would be decoded into 96kHz LPCM by the foobar. And I am sure denon 987 accepts stereo LPCM via hdmi. Now either foobar is not correctly converting flac to lpcm OR there is something wrong with the connection. My concern is regardless of what foobar does or does not, in the control panel I should be able to see "96khz" in the supported formats section, wouldn't I? Thanks. Note: tonight I will try different software and realtek's spdif output.

Hello all, First post on the forums! I am having some problems with audio output through my htpc. I have a denon 987 (same as 2807) and my connection is: htpc (foobar version 1.1.18 > wasapi (event or push doesn't matter)) > gts450 video card's hdmi output > denon 987 receiver (hdmi1 - pure direct) > stereo speakers I am getting an "Unsupported stream format: 96000 Hz / 24-bit / 2 channels" error and in the control panel it looks like 96000hz is not supported by denon (please see the below ss). However, I believe 2807 supports 24bit/96000hz input via hdmi. The test was done with HDtracks Anti-Master quality connection (high res flac files/format): https://www.hdtracks.com/index.php?file=login&redirectto=samplealbumdownload&ialbum_id=13277 As mentioned here, "despite HDTracks stating that all tracks are 96/24, 4 tracks are actually 44.1 kHz - not 44 upsampled to 96, but actual 44.1 - and one is 88 kHz". I have no problems with 44.1khz tracks but I am unable to play 96khz since in the control panel it seems like it is not supported. If the avr indeed supports 24bit/96000hz input via hdmi, what could I do to fix the problem? Could it be related to hdmi cable, hdmi version of the avr (which is 1.1) or something else? Best regards.
