I use a creative X-Fi platinum sound card that supports 96mhz sound format.
When I first installed windows Vista Ultimate all the formats were supported,
including 48 mhz. Now windows sounds has for some strange reason disabled the
96 mhz format so I do not see that anymore. When I tyry and play sound in
that format there ius no sound. How do I enable it again. Can anyone help me.

Right click speaker icon in notification area of Taskbar, select Playback Devices, right click SPDIF Out, click Properties, click Supported Formats tab, tick 96.0 KHz Sample Rates check box, click Test.

The problem is that the 96.0 format has disappeared, although at the
beginning it used to appear. So, the question is how do I make it reappear as
a supported format? Thanks

Have you enabled Digital IO on the Custom Tab of the Speaker Properties dialogue, or set the Digital Output (PCM) Sampling Rate Settings on the SPDIF tab of the Creative Audio Console? Have you UNINSTALLED old Creative drivers and installed the newest drivers?

Also note that 96KHz is NOT supported by Dolby Digital processing. Are your speakers doing the Dolby decoding?
