It seems like most people seeking information regarding audio bit depth would benefit from also have bit resolution included. Bit resolution and bit depth go hand in hand for the audio world and you can not understand one with out the other. I agree the two articles should be merged. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bororecording (talk • contribs) 04:25, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


Hi,
The word resolution doesn't even have a meaning regarding audio.
More bits = more dynamic range, not more "resolution."
This is not a discussion regarding pixels on a screen.
Bit Depth, would be the correct article to discuss all such questions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.165.33.150 (talk • contribs) 15:51, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

The closest thing to "resolution" in the digital audio world would probably be sampling rate. There is no such thing as "bit resolution". A bit is either a 0 or a 1. There is no greater or lesser resolution available. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.92.147.125 (talkcontribs) 15:29, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non whole number bit depth

Gentlemen, please mention if non whole number bit depth is possible. E.g.,

32kb/s=BD*24kHz; BD=4/3.
