No sound with DAC 384 KHz

Recently i bought a DAC that natively works on 384 KHz and found that BF4 doesn't work with this frequency. With 192 everything ok, but with 384 DAC even don't take any sound signal.  I understand t...

    Yes, this is a USB DAC that supports DSD/DXD playback. Model: Audinst HUD-DX1 v2. And of course, I have the driver installed. DxDiag attached

      It looks like 192 is as high as you are going to go when playing games (regular PCM audio formats) as it seems like 384 can only be used with high(er) end audio applications such as Direct Stream Digital/Super Audio CD/Digital eXtreme Definition and other audio workstation applications like Cubase and Logic.

      DXD Playback
      DXD Support : DXD 24bit 352.8 ㎑ ~ 32bit 384 ㎑
       
      PCM Playback
      Bit depth : 16 / 24 / 32-bit
      Sample rate : 44.1, 48.0, 88.2, 96.0, 176.4, 192.0 ㎑

        As I wrote in the first post, I understand games don't support the quality as youtube and much other sound sources, but they lead sound through WASAPI where sound converts to required discretization frequency and DAC confirms that with diode color. Games like Overwatch, Black Desert, Skyrim (7 years old game, lol) convert and play sound properly meanwhile in BF4 simply no sound at all. Switching sample rate every time i enter and exit BF4 is too annoying, especially because I find this a problem. Private support before did not help me at all with this and recommended me to show this problem here, that's why I'm here. 

        Also, I'm curious if this problem will present in BF5 and the answer will directly determine will i buy the game or not, because when i want to play some game i want to play and not to go settings for switching something.
