Audio while scrubbing is distorted when the system sample rate is 192 kHz

[vladimírč]

I've switched my computer to 192 kHz sample rate and now the audio I head while scrubbing in Premiere is a little distorted. Is there anything I can do about it? The audio used in the sequence is 48 kHz.

The reason I want to use 192 kHz is listening to music.

Sounds like it's a little laggy, try turning on GPU acceleration.

If that doesn't work maybe 192 khz is just too much

Thank you for your reply.

I am not talking about audio clipping. I should've provided a video example... Anyway, here you are: https://youtu.be/elKlMubKkKI

I see, have you tried setting the number somewhere in the middle?

[vladimírč]

Yes, it gets worse the higher the sample rate.. However, I want the sample rate to be 192kHz so setting it to 48kHz isn't really a solution.

[Jqke]

Well i don't really know then.. wait for others to reply

[vladimírč]

No problem, thank you anyway.

If you listen to CD/Spotify you dont need 192 KHz since the audio is only 44.1 KHz. Do you use the computer as a DAW as well?

[vladimírč]

Apple Music has a lot of song in 192 KHz. I do not use it as a DAW.

Have you set the Bit Rate for your audio card to 32-bit? AFAIK, Apple Music is 192/32.

[vladimírč]

Yes I have.

What's your systekm like? 192 is a very high sample rate.

Are you on a Mac? See this page:

All system sounds are fine - even premiere playback as you can see in the video https://youtu.be/elKlMubKkKI

I am on Windows 11.

So are you upsampling all music that's NOT 32/192?

Are you sure iTunes on Windows is sending Hi-Res Audio to your sound card?

Are you playing back downloaded or purchased tracks from Apple Music? If so, none of them are 32/192. You only get Hi-Res Audio from Apple Music while streaming, and maybe not even that on Windows using iTunes. You will have to research that last bit.

I am pretty sure iTunes is sending the songs that are in 192KHz in 192KHz as there is an option for it in the settings. I know that only songs streamed from apple music are in that quality.

I think windows normally does the upsampling or something like that because - as I've said - everything else apart from scrubbing in premiere sounds normal.

32/192 Apple Audio is snake oil.

Genuine question: why do you want to set it to 192 kHz?

Which export codecs actually support this?

[vladimírč]

I don't intend to export anything it that sample rate. The only reason for having windows set to 192 is listening to music.

A simple Google search will give you this answer:

Unless you're recording audio and wish to get the highest quality, there's no real point in setting audio to 192 kHz...

"Why you don't need 24 bit 192 kHz listening formats?

Unfortunately, there is no point to distributing music in 24-bit/192kHz format. Its playback fidelity is slightly inferior to 16/44.1 or 16/48, and it takes up 6 times the space."
