Question

Cannot set sample rate for Rode Podcaster mic in Adobe Audition CC 2019

I am new to Adobe Audition and am following along a course to learn more about the software. However the course (which was written for Adobe Audition CS6, not Adobe Audition CC 2019 which is the version I am running, under Windows 10) indicates that I can change the sample rate for my recording preferences.

My Default Input is set to a Rode Podcaster mic and my only option is MME (no ASIO). I've seen some (unanswered) questions about not being able to set sample rate for ASIO but not for MME. Instead of the dropdown I expect to see for Sample Rate, I just get a hard-coded value of 48000 Hz. Below that is a button "Settings" which just takes me to the normal WIndows sound devices dialogue

I would have expected to be able to change the sample rate. Is this hard-coded value a limitation of the driver, a defect in the software, or a setting somewhere that I've missed?

Is the Rode Podcaster a USB mic? If so there won't be any ASIO drivers for it, it will just use the standard Windows USB audio drivers. Also unless there is a way to select the sample rate in the Rode mic itself then you are stuck with the sample rate that is built into it's hardware. In which case you should always use that sample rate when recording in Audition.

Yes it is a USB mic. What doesn't make sense to me is that if I click on the Microphone properties in Windows I have other sample rates that are selectable. Don't understand why Audition doesn't offer those same settings. Not a biggie but seems inconsistent.

Is it actually the Rode USB mic that shows in the Windows Sound settings rather than a mic/mic socket built in to the PC? Anyway you should be glad that Audition seems to recognise the Rode's true sample rate and doesn't allow you to use one that requires Windows to attempt to do a sample rate conversion.
