LMS always sending bitrate 48kHz to my DAC

I'm using the latest LMS 7.9 nightly and have noticed over the last few days that my DAC always displays 48k bitrate. Most of my flac files are 44.1k but I have a few 96k and a couple of 192k files but the DAC never changes from 48k! I don't make a habit of checking the DAC to see what bitrate is being received so it may well have been happening for a long time.

I'm using LMS on an Odroid-UX4 with max2play v2.42 + Brutefir and passing the music stream to my DAC via squeezelite. I disabled Brutefir to see if that was the problem but no change. Also installed 'mpd' to eliminate LMS and max2play to check that my DAC was picking up the correct bitrate. Using 'mpd' the DAC happily displayed the correct bitrate - 44.1k, 96k and 192k. So there is an issue somewhere with LMS/max2play/squeezelite!

I've not changed anything in that LMS/max2play/squeezelite combination that would (as far as I'm aware) affect bitrate. My first thought was that Brutefir might be doing something but that was disabled and eliminated.

I'm not hung up on using high bitrates so that in itself isn't a problem. What does concern me is that I have no 48k files and the DAC permanently displays 48k - so something somewhere is changing the output stream, maybe not just to 48k, maybe something else is being changed as well!

I've tried changing squeezelite parameters in max2play, -r 96000, and making the same change in re-enabled Brutefir and it makes no difference.

Any thoughts, suggestions or help appreciated.

Bob
