Bernd,

Will you please let me know if this configuration is correct?

PLAY - Output Device Configuration - Output Samplerate is set to 44100Hz
OUT - Output Device Configuration - Output Samplerate is set to 44100Hz
PFL - Output Device Configuration - Output Samplerate is set to 48000Hz
MIC1 – Input Device Configuration - Input Samplerate is set to 48000Hz

I think never changed this, but not sure, that´s why I am asking.

Regards

There is no correct or wrong with sample rates.
However as most music files might use 44.1kHz I typically suggest using that sample rate for all output channels as well.
As in all other cases re-sampling takes place and you typically do not get any benefit from ups smoking to 48kHz in terms of sound qualify. Especially not just for the PFL channel.

Same is true for the MIC. Why do you record at 48kHz when it's down sampled in the output anyhow.

My rule of thumb is always set the sample rate equal for all mixer channels - unless you have s very specific reason.
