Check the path of daemon.conf which pulseaudio is using.

$ pulseaudio --dump-conf
### Read from configuration file: /home/eh5/.config/pulse//daemon.conf ###
daemonize = no
fail = yes
high-priority = yes
...

And make sure you are editing the default.pa which at the same folder with daemon.conf.

Or simply delete your local configuration files.

Okay, so, had to reinstall my laptop anyway.

After a clean Fedora minimal installation, it passes the options, but it still isn't up to expectations: sample spec: float32le 2ch 44100Hz

Really hoping to get that 96KHz.

You need to edit the value of default-sample-rate in daemon.conf.

[easyrider]

You need to edit the value of default-sample-frequency in daemon.conf.

in my case it was default-sample-rate = 96000 as there is was no default-sample-frequency
which gives:

$ pacmd list-sinks
sample spec: s16le 2ch 96000Hz
