While the SB16 seems to work up to 48000 Hz, the "Sound Blaster Series Hardware Programming Guide" limit the sampling range from 4000 Hz to 44100 Hz (Section 3-9, 3-10: Digitized Sound I/O Programming, tables 3-2 and 3-3). Later, section 6-15 (DSP Commands) is more specific regarding the 41h / 42h registers (Set digitized sound output sampling rate): Valid sampling rates range from 5000 to 45000 Hz inclusive. There is no comment regarding error handling if the register is filled with an out-of-range value. (See also section 3-28 "8-bit or 16-bit Auto-initialize Transfer"). Assume limits are enforced in hardware.
