Yes - and I confirm the playback sample rate in Windows by going to control panel - sound - right click on the helix and select properties - select advanced - the dropdown only shows 16-bit rates. However I have recently discovered it is doing this to my other interfaces as well. So maybe theres a new windows update that has broken something. Well IDK what your workflow is like but I do like to preview my stuff through my stuff. Itunes for playback is nice for that. So itunes is on my DAW's to facilitate that workflow.

After plugging in my other interface to windows 10 I'd have to agree with you there. Even it won't show all the supported formats. This is obviously a Windows issue and not a Line6 one.

MacOS has a non switchable 48khz 24-bit playback sample rate but windows 10 only has 16 bit 44.1 and 96. Is this for real? My ears must not be that good, I actually prefer the playback quality for itunes on the 16-bit/96 compared to other DAW interfaces at 24/96.

I heard you like emulators so we put an emulator in your emulator so you can emulator.

You know what would be a great middle ground? Make a helix editor emulator that can save output files that the helix could load.
