It's all really simple. 88.2 kHz is not within Windows' own capabilities, so that's why the choice is not offered. If you want, blame Microsoft for that, but it's still pointless because it is completely unnecessary to have anyway.
Make a project at 88.2, disable Windows sounds, make sure no other audio-capable software is opened, and you're set to go.
"Why can’t I select 88.2kHz as the sample rate in Windows 7?
Microsoft does not offer native support for 88.2kHz with its Windows 7 operating system. While several hardware manufactures have sent requests to Microsoft asking them to support 88.2kHz sample rates, it is Microsoft’s opinion that there isn’t enough consumer demand for this sample rate to warrant an update."

Re: MicroBook II Missing 88.2 kHz Sample Rate?
Thanks to "torrentg" and anyone else who contributed to clarifying this issue. Please excuse my English, I'm French and translating from another language which isn't always easy.
I will pass this info to all concerned, with pleasure. I learned something new to pass on to my audio students, aged 12 to 16. Below is the response from Motu Tech, as well.
In the case of MOTU hardware the recording application always controls the sample rate. For instance if you do a recording in Sonar or Cubase you will notice that the interface will follow the sample rate of the current project.
This is true even for MOTU interfaces that do have there own control panel and sample rate options.
The Windows default sample rate is strictly for applications that do not have there own audio I/O and sample rate options (such as Windows media player). This setting should not have any effect on the functionality of your recording software.
Cheers,

Merci et A bientôt

Re: MicroBook II Missing 88.2 kHz Sample Rate?
Absolutely, no doubt. You're welcome.
Now, if only MOTU will fix the issue that I will post about in my thread in about 10 minutes or perhaps longer from now. I'm having a few drinks so my computer skills are slower than usual at the moment. heh heh
Teaching 12-16 year olds this stuff? Wow, impressive! More power to ya!
I did stuff at and before that age, but how nice it would have been to have someone to direct instead of me trying to figure things out by myself.

Hey, I wish you luck on you issue whatever it might be, maybe I can help you in return. Lol!
3 years ago, I decided to start a free program to build young Audio Engineers. It was originally for 14 to 16yrs but I had such a huge demand from younger kids that I had no choice but to include them (I also have 1 student aged 9).
The only prerequisites are:
- Financially underprivileged,
- Attendance,
- Knowledgeable students must assist novice students.
Impressive, are the kids 12 & 13yrs. They are so inquisitive and their minds are like sponges, so you must be ready. They are all so inspired plus their parents and teachers say that its helped their discipline in other subjects, too.
So much joy......! Hopefully, some will become our next Audio Stars!
Good luck to you!
