Changing sample rate in Cadence changes pitch and speed in Pulseaudio

Hi folks,

I'm new to Linux, audio production and these forums. Hello! I'm using UbuntuStudio 18.10 on an old Macbook 4,1. I have gone through some instructions on setting up WINE for Reaper. I want to run Reaper natively in Linux, but I would like the option of using Windows VSTs in Carla, so that's why I did that.

I've been muddling through setting up Pulseaudio, Jack, ALSA, my midi bridge and Reaper. So far I've gotten quite a lot done using the time honored tradition of copy pasta. So that's good.

My current problem is with sample-rates. When I set the sample rate to be 48000 in Cadence, audio playback from a youtube video becomes pitch and speed shifted up. Now, I can see why this might happen because the sample-rate has increased, but I don't want it to happen.

Is there a way to increase the sample rate in Cadence without affecting the playback of sound/video routed through pulseaudio?

I have not yet tested this effect with a purely midi or plugin generated sound, mostly because I haven't yet gotten these things working yet. Should I expect the same sort of trouble there? If so, what would be the fix?

Thank you for your time!
