Topic: Clock sync and sample rate change

Hi,

I have an RME UC used for listening only. The sound source is a bluesound streamer, connected via spdif (coax) to the RME. In the RME settings the clock is set to SPDIF coax. and the sample rate to 44100hz (and is grayed). When I play sound that has a different sample rate (48kh) the sample rate in the RME doesn't change. Instead in the settings it shows 48khz in red next to the 44.1 that is grayed.
What am I missing here? isn't clock sync supposed to change the sample rate automatically?
Sorry for the ignorance.

Nope, there is no 'Follow Clock' feature for that device when using USB. It might work in stand-alone mode with SPDIF as source, so with USB removed. But of course then you have no control over the unit.
