Standard sampling precision and rates: wikilinking "benefits [of 96/192k sampling rate] have been debated" to HiRes#Controversy
Line 137:
LPCM encodes a single sound channel. Support for multichannel audio depends on file format and relies on synchronization of multiple LPCM streams.<ref name=LOC_LPCM/><ref>{{Cite web|publisher=Library of Congress |url=https://www.loc.gov/preservation/digital/formats/fdd/fdd000016.shtml |title=PCM, Pulse Code Modulated Audio |date=April 6, 2022 |access-date=2022-09-05}}</ref> While two channels (stereo) is the most common format, systems can support up to 8 audio channels (7.1 surround)<ref name="rfc4856"/><ref name="rfc3190"/> or more.
 
Common sampling frequencies are 48 [[kHz]] as used with [[DVD]] format videos, or 44.1&nbsp;kHz as used in CDs. Sampling frequencies of 96&nbsp;kHz or 192&nbsp;kHz can be used on some equipment, but the [[High-resolution audio#Controversy|benefits have been debated]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Christopher|first=Montgometry|title=24/192 Music Downloads, and why they do not make sense|url=http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140906115306/http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html|archive-date=2014-09-06|access-date=2013-03-16|publisher=Chris "Monty" Montgomery}}</ref>
