This has to be done manually as OpenCore does not have an automated mechanism for it. You can verify this, by heading to the System Information app, and under `Hardware -> Audio` find the audio output, usually named `Built-in Output`. From here, look for the `Current SampleRate` attribute - If the number beside it reads 48000, this indicates that your codec has its default sampling rate set as 48 kHZ :::
