the sample rate has nothing to do with it, as far as i can tell, given i tried them all.
rather than try to dismiss a proven workaround, why not let him try it?
my stream always worked in my browser, and stopped in 3dx with the update. that's why he should give it a try at least.
and no, going by their track record of not bothering to fix things they broke years ago, 3dx will not fix this.

if you need some help, @Paulinus I can try to get you going with an account.
