Is there a way to tell if your soundcard supports 24-bit sampling?

It's probably a newbie question but how can I tell? My computer is a not so old hand-me-down but it had an upgraded soundcard when it was originally purchased. I was just wondering where you can look to see what it supports. Thanks.

chances are that its still low level for pro audio. if it has 1/4 inch jacks then it should do. But look in the device manager and you'll find out the type of card it is and look it up on-line

Take any sound editing program, make a file that is 24 bit, if your player can read it, it means it is 24 bit, if it can't then..it isnt.

Try it with Winamp, cuz with mine, it froze, so try it with winamp.

what kind of card is it ?

Try Start->Run> n type in dxdiag. That should give you a lowdown of what's in there.

What about finding out what type of card it is, and google up the product page for the specs.
