If I go to Applications>Utilities>Audio Midi Support, I can set the Sample Rate to 96 kHz, but in fact the Sample Rate is back at 48 kHz next time I look.
Question: How can I get the machine to accept and stay at the new sample rate of 96 kHz?

Hi Robert, try this...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.audio.AudioMIDISetup.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Many thanks, BDAqua, for the helpful suggestion.
I did Safe Boot, saw many Permissions Repaired, but no fix for my problem. Here's the problem more specifically:
Computer:
iMac, OS 10.6.8, Windows XP Home in Bootcamp, later installed Parallels 6. Everything works with all the numerous PC programs I have with one exception and that is a audio spectrum program called SuperSID. It is for showing spectra from 0 to 100 kHz and is used for viewing low frequency radio stations for the purpose of observing SIDs (Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances). Signals to be examined are introduced at the audio Line input.
The problem:
The computer lets me look at only the lower half of the spectrum, euggesting the Sample Rate is set to 48 kHz. Windows XP has no means that I can find for changing the SR. Audio MIDI Support in the Mac has a pull-down menu that lets me change the SR, but the change fails to actually take place. I can change the Setting, but it doesn't really change anything. That's the problem.
I need to be able to see the entire spectrum for 0 to 100 kHz. With this more complete description of the problem, can you see any way to let me do that?

What all is being used for input, sounds like some limiting factor there.
