Yet another note:
Woohoo! For those of you with the latest Kontakt v5.6 who got no audio from the standalone version with the ASIO driver and were forced to select the WASAPI driver...great news! A new driver shows up in the Kontakt Options dropdown: "US-16x08 Mixing Driver" in addition to "US-16x08 ASIO".
I can now get audio from the standalone Kontakt from my mains, and not have to use the internal Realtek audio.
Note that Kontakt reported an increase in latency from 10.x mS to 16.x mS. That's not an issue for me since I use it mostly as a previewer, but might be for some.
