I'm currently trying to set up a soundcard I purchased.
I'm setting up a pc using an ASUS Rampage Extreme motherboard, and a Core 2 Quad 9660K
The original Rampage Extreme board would come with an Asus sound riser in a PCI slot, but as I purchased this board used I don't have that original component, so I need to use a different sound card.
I've bought an Asus Xonar PCIe 5.1 sound card, updated to the most current drivers, but I am experiencing audio dropouts. They range from anywhere from 2 seconds to 10 seconds, and happen at random intervals, the longest it's gone is 5 minutes between dropouts, but this is incredibly frustrating.
I've tried so many different combinations of rollback drivers, drivers that came with the sound card, the microsoft drivers, and some odd things happen.
I eventually in my frustration gave up, and completely formatted my drive, and reinstalled windows with the most current windows installer, and to my avail even with a brand new fresh installation of windows 10, no combination of drivers will work without these intermittent dropouts.
I then assumed that the card was faulty, and returned it to the store, and brought home another one.
Same issues, therefore I've eliminated it being a hardware issue, this must be a windows driver compatability issue.
Are other users reporting similar issues with the Xonar SE? I've seen one other post exclaiming the exact same issues.
I am presently using it with analog output to a pair of stereo desktop speakers, under the default windows settings with no sound effects or processing, but trying to play movies or music still results in the dropouts, and I'm now under the impression I should bite the bullet, return this card and pay the restocking fees, and find a card whose drivers actually work with windows 10. Are there any other things I can try before this costs me yet again more money, just to fix this sound issue?
