Welcome to the forum. You didn’t say if your interface works with Band-in-a-Box, or if you are even using it. If so, follow the advice above and stick to 44.1.

Use of those higher sample rates also requires a more powerful CPU and fast RAM and storage throughput. You could tell us more about your computer, which could be causing your problem rather than the MOTU. It could also be a problem with malware or other programs unnecessarily running in the background. Or a bad or unregistered plugin. Or a bad cable. Lots of things would be higher on my list to check than a defective unit from MOTU.
