@goldenears: I tried the Realtek ASIO driver on my mobo and indeed, for me too, it does not work along with non-ASIO streams. So it's possible that the Centrance one doesn't either. It might be worth it to contact the manufacturer about this anyway, maybe it can be enabled.
But I assure you, this is not the norm. The typical popular devices with ASIO do support this functionality. And I would be very surprised if any of those with an XMOS USB interface don't. XMOS USB chip with a Thesycon Windows driver is a very common setup, used in many products nowadays. It's not amazing, but it works.
I can't give you any hard guarantees, but that's just my experience. Let us know how it goes, if you find out anything new.
(Side note: 16bit in audio settings is not recommended, use at least 24bit. I don't think this is causing the ASIO issues, though.)
