How to confuse a 3rd gen Focusrite 4i4. Is *440* a bad thing? It works...

[Nick Blair]

I have a Focusrite 4i4 3rd Gen which works very happily but I came across this slightly curious thing today when exploring

1 Set up the Focusrite via Audio Gear with a setting of 44100 - mine fails every time leaving a *440* samples

2 What I would normally do is to set it up at 96000 and 16 and it works every time and produces this result - https://screenrec.com/share/oLAWSergdY

3 But I thought what happens if I leave it on the dreaded *440* setting? Well it IMPROVES the latency! https://screenrec.com/share/m6ZocqPvlW I have no idea what that is about.

4 And in a solo session it then has interesting stats - https://screenrec.com/share/q4BtWJh0b5 when playing with a recording and has quite low latency (I know it's not true but it's amusing - https://screenrec.com/share/pg7aIBrvY4

Counter intuitive is the phrase that comes to mind

I practically never post something like this since I don’t want people to think that I’m a $ll, but….
I was looking everywhere trying to buy a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface online. All the normal places were backordered, and full of b.s., too. But a smallish outfit with a handful of stores in PA was amazing. A real person got my email, and called me on the phone. No b.s. He promised it in 10 days, and it actually came in about a week. That was a couple of weeks ago. Just now, this same guy called me, and asked if it had worked out OK, and if I had any questions. If you need something, he’ll pick up the phone!
