problem with 24bit output

Hi all
I was having some problems to make output 24bit and I am not sure what am I missing.
http://goo.gl/vpQghL
I tried with MME output and WDM output it still says 16.
I see that Inputs are 24 however whatever I set in outputs they are always 16bit.
Do you guys know what could be the problem?
I am using windows 10 x64.

yes, things are not clear there.
with WDM output device, connected in exlusive mode, audio driver often refuses the 24bits format (at least we never saw it accepting 24bits format directly in fact).
...it will openned in 24bits only if you force your audio device in Share mode (uncheck exclusive mode)... then you will see 24 bits on the Voicemeeter System Setting Dialog Box... but this 24bit will be sent to Windows kMixer and i don't know if this kMixer will finally deliver signal in 24 bit to the device... using MME will open in 24bits normally since it uses kMixer anyway (with the same doubt behind)...
At the end, to be sure to have 24bits sent to your audio device, we recommend to use ASIO driver if applicable...

Thanks for the reply.
I tried using MME but I still got 16bit in Voicemeter

I tried using WDM with uncheck exclusive mode (for realtek digital output device) but VoiceMeter still says 16bit.

REM: Voicemeeter negociates format in 16bit...
Only Voicemeeter BANANA negociates format in 24bit.

Yeah
This is how it's setup in Banana.

Realtek digital output is set to 24bit

Speaker for HIFI is set to 24bit
http://goo.gl/RJAjfa
HIFI cable recording device is also set to 24bit

Not sure if I have to set it to 24bit anywhere else...

REM: 2048 sample buffer size is too high (go back to 1024 for MME)
Well, ok, i will check again the format negociation in Voicemeeter,
BTW: i don't remember if MME is negociating format in 24bits ... should try WDM or KS only.

Hmmm
Ok I tried using WDM for all (input and output devices) and I unchecked WDM exclusive as you suggested.
It's still r16 for output.

I can't force KS for digital output... I can't see realtek digital output on the list

I tried using another computer. With windows 7, but sound card is still realtek.
Same thing happens.
