Just to clarify, on Vista and 7 the route would be Windows Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound, and the Default Sample Rate is in the "Quality" Section of Audacity Preferences.

Your best chance (after following the advice to seek a Vista 32-bit driver for the device) would probably be to choose "Windows DirectSound" as "Host" in the Audacity Devices Preferences (as you have done), then in "Sound" (Recording tab, right-click the device > Properties: Advanced tab), make sure both "Exclusive Mode" boxes are checked. Otherwise, you'll be trying to use the rate shown in "Default Format".
