DN60 Audio problems (video looks good, audio is corrupted)

Hey y'all - all my footage recorded to CF cards in the Datavideo DN60 is coming out great (video) but the audio is totally corrupted/not recorded

I learned that the DN60 can only record audio sampled in 16bit/48Hz and I think this was what I was doing wrong, but I'll have to go test the camera and report back. Will follow up within a week/few days

My vx1000 footage was all filmed with the audio setting in 12bit/32Hz, which is probably why none of it was recorded to the DN 60 correctly. here's the DN60 manual where I saw the information on the audio sampling rate: https://www.manualshelf.com/manual/datavideo/dn-60/user-manual-english/page-15.html

Yet, I also had the same audio problem with footage from the VX2000 as well, which I think only records 48Hz/16-bit audio, so it seems like this shouldn't even be a problem. But anyways, could also be my cameras' actual microphones - though i don't think this is it, because I can see the recording levels and can tell they're working.

Anybody have this problem before and know any tips/things I should do to troubleshoot?

cheers
