(im on windows 11) i got a pebble plus speaker and a razer black shark v2 headset, currently im using 24 bit and 48000 HZ (studio quality) for both of them, for my headset it is the max quality, and for my pobble plus i got so many other options until 32 bit 192000, my question is that should i change anything? lower or higher anything in quality settings for my headphone and pebble plus speaker?
also i got a seiren mini mic and im using the max quality ( 16 bit 48000)

Modern games mix their audio at 48,000Hz. Additionally, a program like OBS will record at the rate your device is set to. I recommend 24-bit 48,000Hz for everything in Windows unless you have a particular reason to use something different.
The only major exception is that if you listen mainly to music from CDs, that will be at 16-bit 44,100Hz. Setting 24-bit won't hurt anything and will actually make volume changes better quality, and these days resampling 44,100 to 48,000 is transparent, but if you really want to ensure the best quality, setting your device to 24-bit 44,100 will technically be best if all you do is listen to music.
