Describe the Bug

Moonlight is on last version (same issue with the previous one) & Sunshine is updated too.

GPU doesn't have the last driver because last of us won't launch otherwise, but same issue with the last driver.

Host:
I7-7700k
32g
Full Nvmes and one dedicated for the OS, the other for games.
Gigabit Ethernet

Client is a Thinkpad t460:
I7-6600 (not sure)
12g
SSD
IGPU
Hdmi output supports every audio format I need.
Gigabit Ethernet

The issue:

Everytime I launch a session from the client (Win 10 laptop) to the host (Win 10 desktop), the host Steam audio drivers go back to 16bits/48KHz.

If i switch to 32bits/196KHz on the host while streaming, it works ok, no dropout, bug or whatever but if i exit the moonlight session and reconnect again, the host settings switch to the default (16bits/48KHz).
Same behavior if i kill the session & start a new one.
Same behavior from different hosts & clients, reverts back to default at launch of a session.
Steam audio drivers are up to date, tried reinstalling from GitHub, reset settings etc... same behavior.

Is it possible to lock the steam audio drivers settings completely? What exactly interacts with the driver settings? The launch command from Moonlight? A backend script from Sunshine?

Moonlight's team told me it's a sunshine issue as moonlight has no control on the host audio.

Thanks!

(I'm sorry if this is not the right section but I wasn't really sure)

Expected Behavior

Steam streaming audio drivers should keep the defined user settings.

For example:

• Setting them to 32bits/96Khz on host.
• Launch a new moonlight session
• The settings should stay at 32bits/96Khz and not revert back to 16bits/48Khz

Additional Context

_You'll tell me, what's the matter? 16bits/48KHz are ok! Maybe, but i have an audiophile setup, a dedicated & audio treated cinema room, 5.1, you can hear the difference between 32bits/196KHz & 16bits/48KHz.

And also, I can do it and have the setup for, so why not? :)_

With the latest pre-releases the logs should have a line detailing the settings used for the Opus audio codec. You might want to check the logs again with a pre-release. (And post your results)
