Hello
I'm observing some interesting behaviour.

I have Focusrite Saffire Mix Control (the control panel for my audio interface) set at 48 kHz.

If I open X3E (without opening a project) it changes Mix Control to 44.1 KHz and then immediately flips it back to 48khz - Which is where it should be, but why is the value flipping at all?

Sometimes when I open projects Mix Control stays at 44.1 kHz rather than 48 kHz. Opening and closing Sonar several times seems to rectify it (so this is intermittent issue probably down to timing as it takes about a second to switch from one sample rate to the other with all this flipping of samples rates going on).

Please note:
* The project is set at 48 kHz.
* Under preferences the default settings for new projects project is set at 48000.
* The windows settings for the interface is set at 48000
* I often open Sonar projects (when Sonar isn't running) by right clicking the Sonar icon and selecting a project so both Sonar and the project opens at the same time.
* I don't run Sonar as Administrator.

I would blame drivers, but why does Sonar(?) switch to 44.1kHz and then back (or maybe the drivers are doing this?)... Odd... Anybody else have this?
 
Thanks!

I have seen this but forget exactly why. I shifted to 48Khz for a bit and remember the preferences on both apps need to match. I forget all of the logistics with it though.

I don't have my interface as my default audio device in Windows, and also don't have this issue.

To clarify I have 48Khz set everywhere possible for the Focusrite (well where I've explained in #1), and the Focusrite is not my default audio device in Windows.
 
Cheers!

Hang on... I thought it wasn't the default device... I checked and it what I previously said was not true - that could be it
Watch this space...
 
Thanks!

Sorry #4 is still true, had a senior moment and crossed out #5.. Cheers..

What is the sample rate set on the hardware audio interface?

I'll continue to see if I can get more info. BTW "Share Drivers with other programs" in unticked in Sonar, and in Windows "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" and "Give exclusive mode applications priority" is ticked.

Thanks for the response John....

as per #1 I have Focusrite Saffire Mix Control (the control panel for my audio interface) set at 48 kHz. It's set at 48 pretty much everywhere...
 
Thanks

Yes I got that. But often hardware has a setup too. How would you change the sample rate without Mix control?
