If that is an analog line in then there is no sample rate there.
But your software may not  be able to sample 48k from that port
  Do what it says go through your prefs in the software and change your 
project to 44.1k or whatever. (also if it came w/ an optical-USB 
interface then there is an optical out on it somewhere)
