Retaining Audio Bit/Sample Rate Settings

So, as you can see in my Signature, I have a couple of other nice audio pkgs; which fortunately, are NOT having the same audio issues Sonar is having. I've noticed that Sonar has a particularly tough time keeping the Bit/Sample rates that I established for my Alesis I/O 26 (24/48). According to the Bit/Sample rate display in the lower right corner, it keeps reverting back to 16/44.1 despite verification of ALL...YES, ALL...settings that can be checked, or that I've ever checked before, which incl.: 1.) The Audio tab that configs the ASIO driver. 2.) The Audio Bit Rate under Tools 3.) The Control Pnl under my Alesis device. 4.) The Win7 Contrl Pnl under Properties for my device (Playback AND Recording). Both are set to 24/48. I've even tried setting it to 96kHz, but Sonar keeps resetting it back to 16/44. Neither Samplitude ProX, Audition 1.5, or RealBand, or BIAB2013 does this. Also, I had tried updating to X2 Studio, and was still having the problem. I'm NOT bashing Sonar, just stating facts, so please hold the negative comments. Thanks, KC

Tnx Cactus, I do have an Alesis Rep looking into it as we speak. And as for the template issue, I thought about that, and have tried to address that. There isn't anything I should check in any of the .ini files, is there? KC

OK. Actually, I did get the Bit Rate issue fixed, but the sample rate is still slipping in Sonar ONLY. Stays glued like epoxy in Samplitude, Adobe Audition 1.5, BIAB2013. The AUD.INI file says 48k. There are some files that retain 48k, but there's others that are created from the same Template the ones with 48k that revert back to 44.1. I've converted the individual wav files to 24/48 in Samplitude, but I'm still having issues.

Cactus, I may have spoken too soon re:my fix. My Alesis ASIO control pnl DOES indeed retain the sample rate that I determine...UNTIL...however, when I open particular Sonar projects. Some of those projects remain on my preferred 48k, but others revert back to 44.1, despite the fact that ALL of my settings, including the files loaded are at 48k. The other reason I still contend that it's a Sonar issue is that none of my other apps have this issue. Tnx Again, KC

Thanks Bitflipper. So, does that mean I should NOT convert a wav file once it's already imported? Or should make sure the wav file I'm importing is the proper sample/bit rate, then create a brand new project, THEN import the proper wav file? Thanks, KC

...does that mean I should NOT convert a wav file once it's already imported? Or should make sure the wav file I'm importing is the proper sample/bit rate, then create a brand new project, THEN import the proper wav file?

Neither. There is no way to convert a wav file in-place once it's already imported. It is not necessary to convert a wav file prior to importing, as SONAR will automatically convert it to whatever format the project is set at.
