If an ASIO device does not support 44.1khz, in my experience that device is not usable with BB. I do not have such a device to test with though. Otherwise you are correct.
Hmm. I suspect few, if any, recent devices do not support multiple rates, so perhaps that's probably an obsolescent feature, though you comment abot "not usable", whilst quite likely correct, is contradicted by the 2024 manual on p14, near the top:

Since many ASIO drivers do not support multiple sample rates, Band-in-a-Box has a built-in resampler which lets you play and
record songs that have a different sampling rate than the rate(s) directly supported by your ASIO driver. For example, if the
driver does not support 44.1K sampling rate, but supports 48K, then Band-in-a-Box will use the resampler to convert to 48K
when playing back, and to convert FROM 48K when recording. The Resampler Quality combo lets you choose Fast, Good,
Better, or Best. Fast is the quickest but is the lowest of the four levels of quality. Best is the slowest (uses more CPU time), but
the most transparent and accurate quality.
It appears that probably either the program or the manual may want a correction/adjustment.
It may have been specific to devices I tried before - I remember trying with a Behringer interface and an old Mbox with poor results, but that was years ago. I tried just now with my Zoom recorder locked to 48khz and BB did work over ASIO, so perhaps if a device can be locked to a specific sample rate then BB will work - however most ASIO drivers are "smart" and automatically set the requested sample rate, which in the case of BB is 44.1khz.
