Your sound card has to support it. I've always just used 44100 Hz and 16-bit, same as Compact Disc. It makes sense to use a higher resolution if you are going to do a lot of editing but you will still have to convert it to 44,100Hz 16-bit if you make an audio CD.

do u know ho to config it?

It is configured in the software when you record. What recording software are you using?

Looks like they're selling it through their website. They're celebrating their 20th anniversary too.
