LMS no longer converting 24-bit files to MP3

I just started having a problem a few days ago... probably after trying to install a newer version os SOX... but LMS will no longer transcode any 24-bit FLAC files to MP3 to stream to my office SB3. I've never had this problem before and have tried every solution to solve it, without luck. At this point, I'm reverting to a TimeMachine backup from a week ago to see if that solve the issue.

Anyone else have an option for me?
