WMA lossless conversion consistently fails with verification errors

[TJinCville]

Started quite a while back, first with Win 8.1 and now Win 10.

Worked fine for years in Win 7 and 8.1 before that.

Have bought and upgraded to 16.1, reinstalled WMA Pro 10 Rel 9. No change.

Conversions from all 3 of FLAC, ALAC, and WMA to WMA fail at lower sample rate. Bit size remains constant.

Still works fine at same sample rate.

FLAC downconverts to WAV just fine.

Important as it's the intermediate step of the easiest way to convert 24/96 FLAC or ALAC to 24/48 ALAC for iOS - WAV does work but much metadata about file is lost.

Error text:

Re: WMA lossless conversion consistently fails with verification errors

What happens if you encode FLAC >> wave (with downsample) then wave to wma with verify enabled?
