Is frame rate the same as sampling rate?

In both digital and film based motion picture cameras, the time varying signal is measured at a fixed frame rate, usually 24 frames per second (fps). The sampling rate is 24 cycles per second (or 24 hertz), the same as the frame rate in frames per second.

What is the difference between frame and sample?

A sample is the smallest usable quantum of digital audio. The term frame isn't formally defined in pure audio terms, but is often used in relation to video that may accompany an audio track. In that context a frame is the quantity of audio samples taken during a video frame interval.

Does frame rate affect audio quality?

The more frames per second (fps) can be processed, resulting in superior quality. For audio files, a higher bitrate means clearer and more detailed sound because a higher sample rate and better bit depth will produce better quality.

How many samples in a frame?

A frame consists of exactly one sample per channel. If there is only one channel (Mono sound) a frame is simply a single sample. If the sound is stereo, each frame consists of two samples, etc. is 8 bits, and we're handling mono sound, the frame size is one byte.
