Macintosh 5200, 5300, 6200, & 6300: Audio Sampling Rates (1/96)

I am using a sound editing application on my Macintosh Performa 5300 computer, but I am unable to get a sampling rate higher than 22.050 kHz. I have also noticed that 22.050 kHz is the only option available in the Sound control panel. Is there any way to get a higher sampling rate?
Many Macintosh computers support 44.100 kHz. However, the entry-level Power Macintosh and Performa 5200, 5300, 6200, and 6300 series computers with 16-bit sound only support 22.050 kHz audio.
