Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO driver has been installed as per protocol for the Yamaha TF3 digital mixer. I am using Sonar 8.5 Producer on a Windows 7 machine.
The Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO driver software reverts all by itself to 44.1 sampling rate, which does NOT WORK with the TF3 mixer , as it is hard coded to 48 sampling rate.
Using on Sonar 8.5 , as per protocol, ASIO drivers , sampling rate of 48, which all remains stable once set, no problem there. . . BUT. . . the Yamaha Steinberg USB ASIO driver only remains in 48 sampling rate for maybe less than a minute and then reverts all by itself to 44.1.
Checking Sonar settings . . nothing changed. . all stable and still set to ASIO 48 sampling rate. But the required interface , in order to use the TF3, is the problem. The software will not stay on 48 sample rate . . .every where else , Sonar and TF3 are set and ready to go. . . .but not the required software.
Its very frustrating that the only software on the planet that is to be used with the TF3, does not work with it. What can i do to get around this?

You attached your post to a thread that has nothing to do with the Yamaha TF3 Live Sound Mixers... and in the MODX Synth Forum.
Is there a synthesizer involved in this setup?
Are we to assume that there is or isn’t a MODX connected (you don’t actually say).
If you posted in the MODX because you do own one - we can tell you that the MODX, when used as an audio interface, operates at 44.1kHz.

What software are you using? Sonar 8.5 is not the only software on the planet that can be used with the TF3
Reading this again perhaps you meant to say the “only Driver”
If there is a MODX and a TF3, you must choose which one is going to be the audio interface.
The Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver can handle any and all Sample Rates... it adjusts to the connected product.
If you select the TF3 as audio interface you want to operate at 48kHz.
This gives a 34-in/34-out audio interface with the computer. (Expansion of channels in/out via optional Dante card)
Plus a stereo record/stereo playback audio feature direct to USB stick
Connect all audio source devices to the analog inputs of the TF3 which will translate for your DAW (computer)
You can only have one audio interface at a time on a Windows computer.
By contrast the MODX as audio interface you want to operate at 44.1kHz
This gives a 10-in/4-out audio interface with the computer.
Plus a stereo record/stereo playback audio feature direct to USB stick
Connect external audio to the MODX’s analog A/D In
Again, you can only have one audio interface at a time on a Windows computer.
FYI... the Yamaha Steinberg USB Driver is capable of working with sample rates 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz, 192kHz, 384kHz
Which ones are available is total dependent on the specific Yamaha or Steinberg product you connect to it.
If your driver is setting to 44.1kHz it is because the item you have selected as the Audio Interface is limited to 44.1kHz when asked to do A-to-D and D-to-A conversion. For example, the MONTAGE can operate at 44.1kHz, 48kHz. 96kHz, or 192kHz with 32-in/6-out capability.
Sorry, it’s been years since I operated Sonar, but when setting up your Audio Options - and selecting the ASIO Device be sure to select the TF3 which will set everything to 48kHz.
In this configuration you will deliver the MODX’s audio to a paired set of analog inputs on the TF3.
The USB connection between the MODX and computer will be used for MIDI only.
