96k Headphone Adapter MacBook Pro
Bought a 96k headphone adapter for my MacBook Pro. It plays back 96k audio from QuickTime and Apple Music no problem, but when I open PT, it says this interface doesn’t support 96k. As I open PT, I watch the 96k option in Audio MIDI Setup disappear. WTH?

Hi, welcome to the community.
i believe you should ask this question on Apple Support, does not sound like a PT problem.

Re: 96k Headphone Adapter MacBook Pro
What device is it? I have a couple that work at 96k and higher without issues, both on my iMac and MBPro. Are you setting the device as master clock in Audio MIDI setup?
Sorry if I'm asking the obvious...

Re: 96k Headphone Adapter MacBook Pro
Not so. It worked perfectly in Apple apps, QuickTime, Apple Music, etc. The issue only arises when starting Pro Tools. How could Apple possibly help when it works fine in their OS, hardware, and apps? Answer: They can’t. This is a PT issue.

Re: 96k Headphone Adapter MacBook Pro
Just because you can set the coreaudio clock to 96K when using this particular headphone adapter doesn't necessarily mean this device actually supports 96K. What it means (and what you are seeing) is a device that allows coreaudio sample rate conversion to its own native sample rate.
The Pro Tools coreaudio interface does not allow for sample rate conversion. Therefore, you are seeing the only real sample rates available with that device when you are running Pro Tools.

Re: 96k Headphone Adapter MacBook Pro
Don't be so sure of that; as @Top_Jimmy says, almost certainly this device isn't really a 96k interface. All those apps use CoreAudio SRC. The only "X-Kim" audio hardware I see is a cheap little USB-Headphone adapter - If that's what you're using then no, that's not gonna work. If you post a link to the device we may be able to confirm.

Okay, fine, let's cut to the chase. Where is Avid's list of approved headphone adapters that work at 96k with PT? I don't need an entire "portable interface" just to do some editing. I googled 96k headphone adapters and found the X-Kim. I'm not making final mix decisions. I don't GAF about pristine jitter specs or anything. I just want it to work. I shouldn't need to spend large coin so I can play back a 96k PT session in fecking headphones. The speakers work for Chrissake. The clock is there. I'm not asking for anything extra. This is ********. Laptops suck. I miss my Hackintosh while I'm on vacation. |

edit for additional: Why don't you use the MBP's headphone jack? It's still there you know. Last edited by musicman691; 08-08-2021 at 09:25 AM. Reason: added headphone jack info |
