How to set Zoom to 44.1 kHz on macOS Sequoia?

Please refer to the attached Audio MIDI Setup utility screenshots, showing that Zoom I/O cannot be reconfigured from its default 48kHz.

 

The reason for my wanting it at 44.1 kHz frequency is to prevent incompatibility with DAW settings for clients requiring their projects to run at 44.1 kHz, e.g. I cannot screenshare / audioshare Sibelius scorewriter and Cubase DAW at the same time as Zoom without compatibility flagging. Changing the frequency to 48 kHz makes the audio samples play back at a higher pitch, and can also result in a recalculation of root samples.

Most likely you are using an ASIO audio driver. Try a non-ASIO audio driver to see if you can find a driver that will auto resample 44.1 to 48. I have the same issue on a PC when using ASIO drivers. Setting the DAW driver to non-ASIO allows the resampling without having timing or frequency shift issues. This is only needed to work in the video domain which is standardized at 48K.
