The SB3 can sometimes handle 24/96kHz material by throwing away every
other sample, effectively giving you a resolution of 24/48kHz. But the
SB3 CPU often chokes on the large amount of data in a 24/96 file. The
best way to counter this is to downsample the file in a WAV editor and
save it as 24/

I doubt it will run properly on a PDC out of the box. Domain controllers are
much more restricted than default machines. Eg.
I had no success and tried:
1) upgrade via controller (standard procedure)
