24-Bit, Packed? Unpacked? Which to use?

I just left the analog world. Which is better to use, 24-bit packed, unpacked, or unpacked left justified?

hey Jimothy, and welcome to N.

The setting you should choose depends on your sound card. If your literature doesn’t say for sure, it’s OK to try them all to see which works best.

I think it’s safe to say that unpacked, left-justified is pretty popular.
