Focusrite Pro14 - MixControl 2.2 doesn't always launch in some apps (44.1 -> 48 problem)

I hope someone here has run into this problem and solved it.

This is not Sonar-related, just a cry for help from the conventional wisdom out there.

I run Windows 7 64-bit SP1 and sometimes in an audio application I find that it starts up at 44.1 kHz.

I have Windows sound (Speakers Property) control panel settings at 24-bit 48 Khz Studio quality, and my default Focusrite MixControl 2.2 setting is 48 Khz.

Despite all that, the app comes up in 44.1 kHz playback.

If I try to change the setting, there may be an ASIO control panel launch button in the app - but MixControl won't launch. Even if I launch the app as administrator, I still can't get it to launch MixControl.

So there is no way I can get 48 kHz for these apps. It's not a big deal, just a mystery - and I hate unsolved mysteries.

    BIAB won't run at 48k AFAIK.  I tried setting my MOTU to 48k from BIAB.  I can open the MOTU software from the ASIO panel in BIAB preferences, I can change the sampling rate to 48k and watch it change on the face of the MOTU unit, but as soon as I click OK, it hestiates and changes back on the face of the MOTU to 44.1.

    Thanks, that's what I thought.

    BIAB is a pretty old app that has been updated from the dawn of time, but it is showing its age.
