SOLVED!! Sample Rate/Clocking Issue.

I'm getting clicking sounds randomly in my audio regardless of buffer size because my Line 6 UX8 and Sonar X3e seem to not be "talking" to each other properly. I'm running at 48/24 in AD2 and Sonar, but have a discrepancy in the sample rate and bit depth reported by the control panel for my UX8 which says that when Sonar is running the sampling rate is being converted down to 44.1. Wondering if anyone has any ideas to correct this? Line 6 doesn't support the UX8 anymore and the drivers are crap, but I'm wondering if there's something that can be done within Sonar (ini file) or Windows. See examples below.
 
If I open Addictive Drums 2 standalone, the UX8 control panel shows this:
 

 
If I open Sonar, the control panel shows that the UX8 is in sample rate conversion mode, and although this time is showing Sonar as the Asio client, sometimes Asio client is blank. Also with both AD2 and Sonar the UX8 control panel shows 32 bit although both programs are running at 48 Khz 24 bit.
 

Correction: Scook, I had omitted the 48 khz part. My apologies.

There's a discrepancy between what Sonar is set to and what the UX8's control panel reports. With AD2 running standalone, they both report 48, but with Sonar at 48 the UX8 reports 44.1 and the Sampling Rate conversion light turns red.

I see that. I do not have the device so this is why I asked about the Driver Format section and the Sound Control Panel button to establish the default setting.

I'm beginning to wonder if this has something to do with the AD2 vst running within Sonar?

How so? To the device driver, SONAR and the standalone AD2 are peers. The plug-ins inside SONAR are unaware an audio driver exists and the audio driver has no idea what a DAW plug-in is.

Scook,
Regarding AD2 and Sonar being seen as peers by the interface, if I run AD2 stand alone, it hogs the driver and Sonar says there's no device available. Does that happen to you?

No, because I do not try to run more than one app at a time using ASIO drivers. If you want to share the ASIO driver you will need to enable driver sharing. There are sharing setting in both Windows and SONAR. While I use my DAW along with other audio apps, the other apps do not use ASIO.

 I usually don't do it, it's only when I've been using AD2 by itself and forget to close it and launch Sonar. Anyway, that's not the issue, but I thought I'd mention it just in case my system was behaving differently from most people's.

I believe SONAR is dictating the sample rate. That is why the Sample Rate Converter button is lit. SONAR has requested 48K but the default format (in this case) is set to 44.1K. I do not know how the device maintains the default format settings or what triggers a change to the default format. This may be a case where resetting the UX8 to factory defaults or reinstalling the drivers may help.

Drivers don't help. Been through all of that. Actually, the card defaults to 48/32 when it isn't being used by a program. That's why it's so strange that it's going down to 44.1 when Sonar is using it. This doesn't happen with AD2 stand alone.

What is the sample rate in Sonar? The sample rate for your Sonar project as set in preferences/ audio devices and driver settings? 

All you need do is set your audio interface to the same settings.

Why didn't I think of that

Lol!!!!
 
John, I wish it were that simple. Perhaps you didn't read all the posts on this thread.

This isn't rocket science. Sonar is the important thing here. You set it up and that is it, really. If you also need to set the audio interface separately then do that also. However, Sonar and the interface have to agree with one another. You may need to set the actual hardware of the audio device to the right sample rate. Why you are interjecting AD2 stand alone and comparing it with Sonar is irrelevant. It has nothing to do with anything here. 

 
You are right John, it isn't rocket science, it's computer science.  If you don't have anything positive to contribute to solve the problem (besides snarky remarks), why post at all?

I do not engage in snarky remarks. I have simply described how I have set up my Sonar and posted that for you.
Why this has turned into some sort of battle makes no sense to me.
