Re: Problems with sample rate and recordings (Mackie onyx > 1640-i < Firewire > Debian )

Thank you for this information, this will surely help debugging.

But, the problem i am encountering tells me that what sample rate
jackctl locks to is not in anyway related to what sample rate my onyx
1640-i is loked at. In other words, the sample i you decide jack will
use is not determining my Mackie onyx to switch to that sample rate
mode. The jack_samplerate command is telling you what sample rate jack
is using, but if my onyx is locked at another sample rate, the bistream
from the onyx will be wrongly interpreted. In my situation i set jack to
use 44.1 and i can't be sure if the onyx is at 48 or 96 or 44.1.
I recorded a live at 44.1 without any error from jack and the audio is
at 44.1 but is faster and at a higher pitch than the original.
