I'm unable to use MusicBee with my Apollo x6 (ASIO) as the device is not on the list.
It is not related to my system (Cubase, Pro Tools, Dorico, VEP, Sine, and so detect perfectly my audio interface plugged in with Thunderbolt 3.)

ASIO was invented and designed for studio and recording purposes.
There is no good reason whatsoever that any music player should, or even could be 100% compatible or compliant with everything that ASIO entails.

Also, it will depend on the features and quality of the drivers that the manufacturer of your audio device makes available.
And those are often, well, crappy.

I figured it out by trying other players. Thunderbolt 3 connectivity seems to be only available to 64 bit ASIO drivers. Musicbee seems to only support 32 bit.
That all make sense now.
