Switching between 48 kHz duplex and 96 kHz half-duplex made 96 kHz requires switching modes on the back of the device plus rebooting it. It made 96 kHz a non-usable feature to me. The device I got was defective a well, and it took Roland a week I think to call me back. By then I had to returned the my UA-25EX in favor of the Alesis iO|2. /Allan -- Allan Wind Life Integrity, LLC <http://lifeintegrity.com> _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
