You are mixing up two *very* different things: 17kHz refers to the
highest frequency people can hear, whilst the 96kHz refers to the
frequency at which the sound is sampled by digital recorder.

I.e. a 96kHz digital recorder samples the frequency of the sound that
is being recorded 96.000 times per second. This has *nothing* to do
with the actual frequency range of the sound being recorded.
