Posted: Fri Dec 24, 2010 7:58 pm
There's 3 options, and if like me you always wondered what the difference is but couldn't be bothered to ask, Uncle Daz is here to help you out.
Settings > Music Settings > Bitmapping
Bitmapping
Adjust settings for audio content. Select settings for the music track you are playing or to match your preferences.
Off Disable bitmapping.
Type 1 Use a technique called dithering to reduce noise or distortion produced during audio output.
Type 2 Use a technique called noise shaving to reduce noise in the audible range.
Type 3 Use a technique developed specifically for the PS3™ system to enhance audio playback.
Hint
These functions are available only when audio content is being output at a frequency of 88.2 kHz or 176.4 kHz. The following conditions are required to output audio at 88.2 kHz or 176.4 kHz:
* The audio device in use supports a sampling frequency of 88.2 kHz or 176.4 kHz.
* [Linear PCM 2 Ch. 88.2 kHz] or [Linear PCM 2 Ch. 176.4 kHz] is selected when either [HDMI] or [Optical Digital] is set under (Settings) > (Sound Settings) > [Audio Output Settings].
* [44.1 / 88.2 / 176.4 kHz] is selected under (Settings) > (Music Settings) > [Output Frequency].
