Microphone records crackly or metallic sound with a 96kHz mic input

My soundcard has a HiRes mode, and in this mode the microphone reports itself to be 96kHz/16-bit, mono channel. Recording the microphone in this mode and the recording has either crackling or metallic noise to it. Replugging it seems to sometimes change how intense the noise is. Switching to another mode on my soundcard that uses 48kHz/16-bit mono channel microphone recording and the issue goes away.
