How does it work ?

From Chris' website :

Many audio processing applications still produce high-definition audio such as 24bit/96kHz in a legacy WAV format. By default DirectShow players (such as Media Player) won't be able to play these files as the Audio Renderer refuses to accept this legacy type even though it is perfectly capable of playing it. This filter registers itself as being able to handle this legacy format, and at the same time converts to a format the DirectShow Audio Renderer will accept (WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE). This is done without altering the audio data in any way.

Alternative: The Ffdshow Audio Decoder can handle playback of 24-bit and floating point WAVs in DirectShow. It is available here.
