Did you?
The sample rates you can set in Vista for the shared mode are only rates that the sound card can support natively (in hardware). It may be possible, though, that your sound card is "faking" sample rates. This seems very likely for an X-Fi sound card as older cards from Creative are known to resample everything to 48 kHz internally in hardware. Because this internal resampling has been considered to be of poor quality people used higher quality software-resamplers set to 48 kHz to circumvent the hardware resampler of the sound card. In case of the X-Fi you should find out which sample rate it uses internally for all processing and output. Just set Vista to use that sample rate and you will have no additional resampling in the sound card.
