[Stk] *.wav file that FileRead can open

[Richard Dobson]

There's no such thing as an "ASIO Soundcard"; ASIO is a driver API, and 
  most soundcards come with several, not least the standard  Windows 
ones for MME and DirectSound. Asio drivers may of course be installed as 
well, but they have to be expressly looked for by applications. The 
default build for "play" et al uses the DirectSound API; you would need 
to modify the project as described in the docs to use ASIO. I can't say 
why you are not getting output, if play is running as you describe; 
perhaps it is a multi-device card and you are simply not connected to 
the right outputs. I haven't built with ASIO myself, so don't know if 
there are any problems there. If playing with the Windows settings 
doesn't fix it, try building with DirectSound and see what happens.
