Bit Depth, Sample Rate and ASIO drivers

Error message is "audio device not available" when opening existing projects created on prior versions of CW and with different ad converter and ASIO driver. Traced this back to Bit Depth settings. I used to record at 16 bits for CD compatibility and file size. My current config is CWbyBL connected to XR18 mixer. The bit depth setting is greyed out and can not be changed in CW but shows 24 . Sample rate is set to 48 on CW. When opening existing projects On the track control bar it shows 44

Often ASIO drivers operate at a single bit depth. This may be why driver bit depth is grayed out. The transport module shows record bit depth not driver bit depth. Record bit depth is set elsewhere in preferences. Follow the links for more information.
