Can you change Project audio format to match source audio format setting?

Hello there, so to keep it simple I am trying to trouble shoot an issue exporting audio video with embded data into and it is imperative for hardware purposes that audio gets exported as PCM, 48K hz and 24 bit sample, but I noticed when i open up propertiers of the clip that the project audio format is set to 32 bit floating.

For troubleshooting purposes is there a way to get project audio format  to be 24 bit?

Is this data from the exported file? Or just the working process within Premiere?

As there is often a difference between working and clip properties. For example, color may be only 8 bit of a file, but processing (mathematics) will be in 32 bit float internally. You still get only an 8 bit file out at the end of course.

Hey Mr.Haugen the embded data refered to is in the the main video file that i imported into premiere. I have not done anything to alter it aside from clipping it up.

The data is tracking data that is used for Augmented reality purposes. Whats weird is the data is reflected in the audio channels and in this screenshot you can see it (the left clip is the original and the right is exported clip imported back in next to it) , however upon exportation with required settings listed above, something is happening to it like it's being clamped to a average value or something. Not sure if theres an answer to this if it will even work, just trying anything i can find

I'd love a screengrab of your exact export settings. When I do say Qt uncompressed mov exports or Dnx exports, with 'uncompressed' setting and 24 bit, re-imported I get the identical audio track.

So I'd love to see what you're using to see if I can replicate.

Sure thing heres a screenshot of them . As a fyi I did create a sequence with 4 audio channels (Mono) with AppleProRes RAW 59.94 preset

Wow. I used that same set of settings, the file on re-import showed identical waveforms.

And yours clearly doesn't.

What the ... ? I'm stumped here.

Yeah it definitely is kinda frustrating. Thanks for your help anyways but last thing is there a way to change the project audio format? I understand the explanation from before but just curious if it can be changed
