Default ProTools First cannot change sampling rate

I have used PT10 for some time in VO work, no issues changing sampling and bit rate.

Just downloaded ProTools first, and found it seems to be stuck on the default sampling rate of 48K 24 bit. Every time I try and change it to 96K in playback engine, it reverts back to 48K within seconds. I have tried all the obvious things, such as making the change before opening a new track, logging out, and back in again, but it reverts back to 48K 24 bit every time.

Is it fixed at this sampling rate? (I thought it could be used at 96K, but I maybe wrong?)

Gear: MacBook Pro - Catalina, 10.15.7
SSL 2 interface.

I have tried other software (and can record in 96K and higher without problems).

Any advice appreciated. Thanks

This might be one of PTF limitations as it is a free ”try out PT before buying”.

You can just google the limitations and look at Avids comparison page

Sorry I was wrong
If you look here https://www.avid.com/pro-tools/comparison it says 32 bit and 96 khz with PT First (Hardware dependant) so you shiuld be able to use up to 96 KHz.

Let me know if you cant grt there and I will get someone to troubleshoot this. I would start a brand kew session at 96Khz and try that with nothing except that new session and make it a session you save on the harddrive as I am bad at using the cloud with too much issues. We have Ultimate here and a big studio so First is not my fortι. Again sorry for the confusion from me.

Default Re: ProTools First cannot change sampling rate

A possible reason is some other app or macOS itself is using the device at 48 kHz. Make sure it's not set to be the default sound output in Audio/MIDI setup.

I hope you are aware of the problems that many users run into with Pro Tools First cloud project storage (look at all the posts on DUC for a start). And if you need to collaborate with other Pro Tools users you can't do that with exchanging standard Pro Tools sessions which First does not support. I would not be risking losing hard work on First and it's cloud projects, I would use Pro Tools (standard) with Sessions or just about any other DAW.
