@bitflipper It's greyed out for me but I increased playback buffer size  in sync and caching.

To be honest with you I've tried higher sample rates, they all sound similar. Buzzing or stopping during playback. I've noticed while playing around with cakewalk Cakewalk will disconnect from my audio devices(my speakers and mic). Weird. @bitflipper

Yeah, it refuses. @bitflipper

@Byron Dickens Like this one? I don't have much to spend.

@Mannymac ASIO drivers don't work with my version of cakewalk. It immediately freezes and crashes Cakewalk.

For future reference please download Realtek High Definition Drivers here.

I decided to download the Realtek High Definition Drivers directly from Realtek. This will take 2 hours. RIP my internet.

It's starting to act up again.

I had to make a new project. Someone told me you cannot convert sample rates. Haha, I'm new at this I don't know what I am doing.

I'm not sure why, many other people are able to use higher sample rates but I am stuck using 8000. Doesn't sound as nice of course! I was considering of maybe updating my audio driver, but I am running Windows 11 and there's no drivers on the HP website. My PC is an HP Spectre x360 15 df0xxx with 16 GB of RAM, i7 core processor, and has a NVIDIA GeForce MX150 GPU.  I have 33.6 GB of 475GB on my current SSD. Any idea what could this be?
