Topic: Problem assigning internal 96khz when other clocks present?

I'm running Steinberg's Wavelab.  My system has an RME HDSP9632 installed.  I normally run Wavelab at 44khz - sometimes using internal clock, and sometimes using external clock (when streaming into this computer from another computer).  The problem is this:

I have an incoming ADAT signal at 44.1khz.  I also have an incoming SPDIF signal at 44.1khz.  I set the RME clock to "internal", and attempt to set the internal clock to 96khz.  I open a 96khz file...  it won't work...   I go back into the RME Hammerall DSP settings window, and the sample rate is greyed out - and set to 48khz.  I cannot change it...   even though the clock is set to "internal"???  Why?  In order to get this working, I have to either unplug, or power down both of the other converters (the 44.1khz SPDIF and ADAT signals).  Why?  I'm trying to run on internal clock at 96khz right now...

Thanks,
Todd

Re: Problem assigning internal 96khz when other clocks present?

I've done some further experimenting, and I believe the problem is actually being caused by Wavelab.  If I quit Wavelab, I can then easily change to 96khz internal clock, and restart Wavelab - all is fine...   I'll post on the Steinberg forum about it...  maybe I'm doing something wrong in Wavelab.

You need to set the desired sample rate in your audio application, not in the card's Settings dialog. Open WaveLab and set it to 96 kHz record or play back a 96 kHz file and the sample rate will change when Clock is set to Internal.
