Setting Sample Rate in Windows

Sample Rate Conflicts

If you start recording/playback and the microphone’s status indi-
cator starts flashing red continuously, this is due to the comput-
er’s operating system requesting different sample rates for input 
and output at the same time. The microphone will still appear to 
function, but either the input or output will be garbled, so the LED 
is warning you of this problem. 
This problem can happen in Windows 7 or Windows 8, and will 
happen by default in Windows 10, when playing and recording 
simultaneously. It happens with DirectSound, WASAPI Shared 
mode, WaveOut, MME, and other software that uses the Windows 
Default Format settings.
This will not happen in macOS or iOS, or with Windows software 
that uses ASIO4ALL, WASAPI Exclusive mode, WDM, or other 
software that sets the sample rates on its own.

To change the default sample rates in Windows 10

1.  In the Windows Search bar, type “sound”, and then select 

Sound settings

2.  Make sure the Samson device is selected in the drop-down 

menu and click
