Hi,. I own Asus Xonar DX two years ago without problems... I formatted my PC (Win7 x64) yesterday, and now i have sound issues when i use 5.1 feature... The sound turns slow and distorted... I uninstalled and reinstalled with the newest drivers, but no change. The only thing different i made when i formatted, was using the updated bios: F10 (GA-P45UD3P). What can i do???

Are these the drivers you tried?
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=Asus%20Xonar%20DX%20Sound%20Card&v=ASUS&uid=XONARDX&pf=0&pi=0&s=xonar%20ds&os=64-bit
Is there a chance that the windows 7 will recognize the soundcard and load its own drivers for it, they might work better?
I have seen Videocard drivers mess with soundcard drivers and vise versa (with Vista, XP and earlier)
Also if there is an onboard audio chip you'll want to disable it in the bios or at least in the device manager.

let me know if this helps or not
Thankyou

SOURCE: Hi,. I own Asus Xonar DX two years ago without

if your computer came with a motherboard disc the sound drivers could be on it
you might have to uninstall then restart your computer then reinstall both the sound drivers and the sound card make sure you have both of these devices backed up to a disc before uninstalling
a yellow? question mark means you need to install/update driver to do this
right click to install driver also
click start control panel administrive tools computer management device manager scroll to sound,video and game controllers you might see a yellow question mark? Right click to reinstall drivers
click start control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers select appropriate speakers also audio you will find 3 drop down lists make sure you have the correct settings there
also
click start control panel sounds and audio devices you can adjust the volume there also select speaker volume you can change your settings there you can also tick in the box place icon in taskbar
if his does not fix the problem

have you tried this control panel sounds and audio,volume,advanced,speakers select the appropriate speakers from the drop down list or navigate to the device manager scroll to system devices + to expand,system speaker right click properties then select use this device (enable) also you might check
the speakers plug/outlet is usually at the back of the computer you will have to open up the computer to check the lead attached to the rear of the input plug make sure the connection is good
try cleaning your computer of dust using a fine air blower from a compressor making VERY sure that there is no MOISTURE in the air line specifically around the sound card and the CPU central processing unit dust causes static to build up in a computer
hope this helps

What is the best external sound card to play and talk at the same time into a chat room

ASUS Xonar DX ($89.99) or HT Omega Striker ($89.99) would be great if you are on a mid budget.

check these out as well.
ASUS:
Xonar DX
Xonar D2/D2X
Essence ST/STX

Auzentech:
Forte
Prelude

HT Omega:
Striker
Claro

Frankly, the Claro (HT Omega) and Essence ST/STX (ASUS) are the best soundcards on the market, bar none (with the Prelude not that far behind). The Striker (HT Omega) and Xonar DX (ASUS) take up the budget space check and compare all these then make a desicion based on every detail you need.

Please don't forget to leave a feedback and testimony if it works.

Sound error..not detected

If your system is running Windows XP, you can try the tips for fixing sound problems in Windows XP.
If it is Vista, similar steps are possible of course.
In most cases the right sound driver will fix these issues, but make sure there are no resource conflicts in the Device manager.

Asus Xonar DX on Vista Ultimate 32 LOCKS UP CONSTANTLY

Sorry it took awhile for someone to get back to you.

Did you disable the onboard sound in the BIOS?

If you haven't done this yet (you may have), try it and post your results back here...

Sudden crackles in the right surround speaker!

Your speaker is busted. You will need to get another one. It really can not be repaired and if it can, it will cost more than a new speaker.
