    Rip to flac - No sound

    Hello,
    I've purchased DBPoweramp recently, running on a MB pro M1 with usb Superdrive, ripping cd did not produce any error, but all the flac file I've tested so far have no sound. I tried Quick time player as well as VLC and it is the same. The files open up, progress bar while listening but no sound output.
    Could you please provide any advice?
    Thanks!

      Found the issue, changing from 32 bits to 24 bits fixed the issue, if it can help others users

        To be honest you are best ripping at 16 bit, on playback the player often has upscaling mechanism (such as 8x over sampling), adding bitdepth on ripping does nothing for quality.

          And they are no longer bitperfect copies of the CD files. They are just larger for no reason.
