The native Creative Audigy/X-fi implementation may support 24/192 with 
OpenAL, but I'm not sure (never tried it).  Historically 24/192 (or even 
24/96) has been difficult to handle with software implementations.  That 
may have changed by now, but I haven't heard of any implementations.

As an alternative, you can always use ASIO if you've got the hardware to 
support it:
