Why 48hz?

[Edocecrous]

Hello!

Why most ppl here and in the documentation refer to the audio as being 48hz?

If that refers to the playback frequency, than it is 48000Hz = 48KHz, and not 48hz. Just like regular CD playback is 44100Hz, so 44.1KHz.

So is this something else, and shame on me not knowing the difference, or everyone else uses it wrong, and they meant 48KHz when they write 48hz?

Hello,
I'm glad you know what the difference is. I'm sure it's just a typo. People are probably just typing too fast and not bothering to inlcude the k for 1000 or typing 48000. Sometimes shorthand has it's drawbacks. I imagine most people will understand what they mean. If not, that's what the glossary on this website is for. But not everybody researches info on there own.

I suspect that a lot of people have no clue what "k" or "Hz" is.
There are too many typos.
