Sampling Rate issues

[Tim Bauer]

I seem to be having issues with sampling rate. I have a pre-recorded tract that I'm using as a "master" track. I'm basically trying to reproduce a previously recorded song. The issue I keep having is that at totally random points the audio will stop matching the metronome, and will play back de-tuned. I know this is some kind of sampling rate issue, but I can't figure out why sometimes it plays back perfectly, and other times it doesn't. It's the same file! I usually have to re-boot the computer and then re-boot the audio interface and that usually fixes it, but even that has recently stopped working. Any help here would be appreciated.

So, I've got some more information. The audio file is showing a bit rate of 3072 which by my calculations is 48 khz sample rate and 32 bit depth. When I check my properties in Cakewalk it is set to 48khz and 24 bit depth. It doesn't seem that I can change the bit depth in Cakewalk, so It must be something I can change in my audio interface software....having trouble finding that setting. I'm using and older Presonus studioLive 16.0.2 firewire unit.

Wow, thanks - that helps a ton. I can't believe that I must have looked through all the settings like a million times and overlooked that every time.
