Commented Unassigned: Wrong BitsPerSample with WasapiLoopbackCapture [16401]

Hello

I have a 24 bits per sample / 192kHz sound board and I am using the Wasapi Loopback Capture method to get data from it.

When I print out the capabilities of the board, it shows 32 bits per sample instead of 24 bits per sample...

```
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
waveIn = new WasapiLoopbackCapture();
waveIn.DataAvailable += OnDataAvailable;
waveIn.RecordingStopped += OnRecordingStopped;
waveIn.StartRecording();

Console.WriteLine(waveIn.WaveFormat.BitsPerSample);
Console.WriteLine(waveIn.WaveFormat.AverageBytesPerSecond);
Console.WriteLine(waveIn.WaveFormat.Channels);
Console.WriteLine(waveIn.WaveFormat.SampleRate);
Console.WriteLine(waveIn.WaveFormat.Encoding);
}
```

Which prints out...

```
32
1536000
2
192000
Extensible
```

If I check the e.Buffer data that the callback delivers, I see that most of the bytes have data indeed, but I was hoping to see 3 bytes with data and then an empty byte (24 bits and a spare byte), but all bytes have data.

So, how should I merge those bytes and in which order?

The Audio Board specs are:

Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
Audio driver 6.0.1.5919
DirectX 11.0
ALC889A

Thanks!
Comments: Hello Mark, thanks for your reply. The object names of the WaveFormat object were misleading. OK, the data I am getting is a float variable. In what order should I merge the 4 bytes to form a float? Little endian or big endian? Regards
