WAVEFORMATEXwBitsPerSample Field

Bits per sample for the wFormatTag format type. If wFormatTag is WAVE_FORMAT_PCM, then wBitsPerSample should be equal to 8, 16 or 32. For non-PCM formats, this member must be set according to the manufacturer's specification of the format tag. Some compression schemes cannot define a value for wBitsPerSample, so this member can be zero.

Default = 16
