Are you having the above messages in cPlay Diagnostic?
Probably, the on board audio device is not disable in BIOS:
Integrated Peripherals
Disable Azalia codec
Good Luck!

Hi smicyta, thank you for your attentionBut unfortunately that is not the problem. EVERYTHING has been disabled all the time just as per cics' recommendations. And messages I get don't match yours.
Current status is this:
cPlay and foobar2000 both play at 44,1kHz through ASIO4ALL. Anything above yields no sound through both players while I can see both players working (i.e. counting the song's time or graphically doodling the equalizer).
If I open cPlay's preferences dialog I can see that left and right channel say "not connected" at > 44,1kHz while correctly connected at 44,1kHz. Same is valid for foobar2000.
At > 44,1kHz the ASIO4ALL preferences dialog says "device status unexplainable" no matter if launched through cPlay or foobar2000, while at 44,1kHz ASIO4ALL gives no hint of malfunction (=properly connected).My conclusion ist that somewhere in the XP-system things are set in a way that only a 44,1kHz signal is allowed to pass through to the soundcard while > 44,1kHz is blocked. Where can I find that switch?
Is it on the way from the soundfile/player to ASIO4ALL (bypassing kmixer), on the way from ASIO4ALL to the WDM-driver or from WDM to the soundcard (expressed in an amateurs words). I don't know exactly which way the audio stream goes, especially since ASIO4ALL is a socalled "wrapper" (and I don't really know about that), but my description might probably have at least some relation to reality.Does anybody know anything about a possible switch in XP (i.e. a driver or a service, or so) to look at to cure the blocking of signals > 44,1kHz?
Or should it be the soundcard's WDM-driver? I must admit that this would sound very unlikely to me since Cantatis on their website explicitly claim the Overure 192 to be fully ASIO- (and ASIOv2-) capable (even though they don't provide native drivers).

Try this: Deselect Do not map through this device!
It works for playback in foobar2000 @ 176.4kHz, SoX resampler.
Good Luck!
Hi Smicyta,thanks for your hint. Did it and experienced a partial improvement - but still no sound > 44,1kHz.
Partial improvement insofar as the "device status unexplainable"-balloon-popup in the ASIO4ALL control panel is now gone, as well as the yellow "female-sign" associated with it! So the ASIO4ALL control panel seems to regard settings as adequate now for itself, as far as I can depict it.The remaining problem - and that turns out more and more to be the crucial point - is that the options dialog for ASIO4ALL (in cPlay and foobar the step before the ASIO control panel) constantly says "channel 1 left + channel 2 right not connected" when sample rate in the soundcard's options is switched > 44,1kHz. And I have no options anywhere to adjust that or pick something else.
I also tried to leave it at 44,1 in the soundcard's options and turn only cPlay to 192 (who knows...), but that didn't help either - no connection to the channels all the time.
Continue trying...

Did you mapped the channel to something like this? For some cards, may have to mapped the correct device channel for the left and right. And also for some, if all device channels mapping are set to none, foobar2000 might continue playing but with no sound.
Exactly THAT is the problem!!!Mapping right at this point doesn't work. The device channels are not automatically mapped at > 44,1kHz, and I can't map them manually with ASIO4ALL (a channel list pops up upon clicking, but picking an option has simply no effect, eventually everything stays as before).
For some strange reason mapping works automatically and is correct at precicely 44,1kHz.
I can't find some - lets say - preparing step or switch in XP to achieve mapping capability at > 44,1kHz.
And the soundcard's driver is held overly simple, so there are no options to choose from either other than the sample rate and headphones/speakers on/off (which I've tried as well, of course).

HI e,
Is your cplay set up like this:
And can you post shots of asio4all and your windows panel and your soundcards asio screen? If screen capture doesnt work then try just a pict of the screen.
There has to be something that we are missing. With asio you dont map the sample rate. You do map channels and sometimes if the mapping of the channels is wrong you might have issues. Cplay is nice because unlike foobar it just gets the mapping right and offers a simple dropdown.
The player should determine the sample rate.
No one here remembers the bending of our minds
O.K., here it is: go tohttp://eunegis.imgur.com/
and select the (only) album "Audio Asylum".
There are the screenshots I've taken.
If you need anything more just let me know, Sherlock...
I'm curious to hear if you can see anything more than I could!

Hi Dawnrazor,
thanks for your efforts and your patience.
I'll try to create screenshots of all important panels and post them here. I hope I can make it this weekend.
Funny thing is: at the moment I'm using JRiver with its inbuilt kernel streaming (ASIO doesn't work here either) through cMP (as one would normally do it with cPlay) - and it works! Sample rate in the soundcard driver is set to 192kHz, and in JRiver I'm upsampling to 192kHz plus I use complete memory loading. So I have practically the same constellation with JRiver as I would have it with cPlay if it worked. The difference is basically only JRiver's more bloated interface and the fact that it doesn't assign decoding and upsampling to one core and the rest to the other, afaik (and to recognize anything in JRiver I have to switch XP to 16Bit color depth).
At least something - right? Maybe its not the worst workaround anyway, and JRiver offers advanced remote control capabilities, afaik.
But I'll try the screenshot thing nevertheless... (that's a question of pride and battle motivation meanwhile - and a sign of respect to those who contribute!)
