Staticy MIDI Output at 96khz sample rate


hello,

I am having a problem with my Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 card. When I set the card to a sample rate of 96khz MIDI output sounds distorted/staticy whereas recording vocals does not. However, setting it to 44 or 48khz MIDI sounds fine. I am using Sonar X1 and the Roland GrooveSynth to test it. I have done the following:
-Tried tweaking all the settings I could find in Sonar to no avail.
-Followed Focusrite's W7 Optimization guide which did not help the problem either. 
-Tried was plugging in the power source for the Saffire which did not help either.
-Disabled on-board soundcard in BIOS
-Changed Firewire Driver Latency to every setting and tested
-Changed ASIO Buffer to all settings and tested
-Tried all available drivers for Firewire card and tested after rebooting

PC Specs:
Windows 7 x64 SP1
On-board TI Chipset firewire port
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800 @ 2.00 GHz
6GB of RAM
Saffire MixControl 2.4
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H (http://www.gigabyte.us/pr...?pid=2931&dl=1#sp)

Any help is greatly appreciated as I have spent endless hours working on this.

    IIRC all softsynths don't like 96 kHz. I don't remember exactly what I've read on the subject, though. Propably someone wiser chimes in.

    Like always, I can't help asking why do you want to use 96 kHz. Most of us here think it's a waste disc space, and some say they can hear a difference in some situations.

    There's (almost) a consensus here that unless you use 800 $ microphones, 2000$/a piece monitor speakers and have a acoustically treated studio and record classical music there's nothing to gain in 96 kHz. But of course, if you like it, you do it.

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.
    The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.
