    Hm, for some reason my post didn't go at the bottom of the page, so I'll post it again so you don't miss it.
    "Yep only in 1.25 as I am currently using 1.20 and here the problem doesnt appear. I think it was direct sound, first instalation didn’t have asio(forgot to check it) but check both asio and direct just in case I am mystaken.
    Thx for correcting my post.:P"

    Xonar D2 user here. At last ASIO's working! Only tested with Winamp so far though. Will look for bugs with my Z-5500 when I get 'em back.

    Ahh finally my Roccat Kave 5.1 Headset works perfectly (tested with UNi 1.25 and Xonar D2X)! But one issue still exists: The surround doesnt work when you put the "colors" from the headset and the card together. But this issue can be fixed:

    [Headset Cable -> Card-Port]
    Orange -> White/Grey (Ctr/Sbw)
    Black -> darker Orange (Side)
    Green -> Green (Front)
    Pink -> Red (Micro)

    You may have to adjust the settings on the Roccat-Control-Panel (or the Asus Sotware Control-Panel).

      Sorry, but no one deletes your post but first comments need to be approved before shown. For the moment, try installing 1.20 and follow the instructions in the FAQ.

    So guys does how does the new ASIO(from 1.25) work for you? Like I previously said I get random pops. I am thinking of removing them from the next driver package, but it would be helpfull if I have confirmation that in fact the drivers are buggy.

      I noticed that I hear clicks during foobar playback because of some file system operations or other activity, but it happens with both versions of the ASIO 2.0.

      Windows 7 x86, Xonar DX.

        I noticed the same, but for me this is related to the Foobar buffer size. With a 50ms buffer size I can clearly hear crackling, more when the computer work with something else in background. Increasing the buffer size everything is all right. Sometime this appear for me with a too low latency in ASIO (1ms). I use now 2ms and is OK. I have to remark here that this latency and buffer size work as a filter against the rest of the noise that exist in such a digital system. These both do not have to be too low... but not to high too. So it have to be a compromise between. Latency near zero (hundreds of µs) is bad! The inside processing of digital sound in the card and the rest, have to have a kind of latency, and this is the reason for a buffer size in the processing of digital signals...

        I use the original Asus driver for STX 1792, and ASIO 2.0.0.2, witch I`ve replaced in.

    @ at0m , what issue were u facing . I might be facing the same issue with my Kave .
    The Rear Jack has to be inserted into the side input cos Xonar Control Panel shows 5.1 config having right side and left side.
    Does this driver fix it?

    • CarvedInside10 Nov 2010 @ 10:29

      Don't know if this helps but on Win7 with 5.1 channels setup, the rear speakers are in fact side speakers. This picture will show you how to properly configure this. Let me know if this is works.

    @ CarvedIns: first of all, thanks for those great drivers.
    works really good on my D2X and 5.1 empire sound system.

    i'm curious about the pic you posted, there are any sound difference from using 5.1 to 7.1 with 2 lateral speakers disabled?

    • CarvedInside12 Nov 2010 @ 17:19

      I honestly don't know. But 5.1 sound should be with front and rear, not front and side speakers as Windows 7 "insists".

    ty for that info carvedIns , but for this to work do i have to insert the rear into side and then take all these steps.

  9. K-ous10 Nov 2010 @ 14:53

    Ok i connected the rear to side and configured it as u said and voila it works.
    I am highly grateful carvedIns for this help.
    The Asus support was dumb enough to give me a stupid answer.

    Latency settings under ASIO config does not affect playback (increase/decrease sound quality). This setting is for recording purposes.

    I use 80 ms latency value with ASIO 2.0 and it seems to be a workaround for crackling during playback.

    One issue I noticed with Foobar2000 is that the player's thread priority stays normal during no playback in progress; but it is automatically set to Realtime when a playback occurs. You can verify this with the task manager under Windows. It may be the source of crackling so I advice CarvedIns to investigate this situation.

        Maybe your jack isn't fully plugged? If it still drops you might need to update your xonars firmware .

    The newest drivers finally fixed the problem I had with the sub of my 5.1 headset! I finally feel the bass, lol.

    This new release did not fix the uncompressed sound (PCM and other) issue in Xonar HDAV Deluxe when using multichannel output.

    No matter which port I use I can not get the rear speakers on the 5.1 setup to work, on 1.20, I had no issues, updated to 1.25 and now I get no rear audio? I read the post but still nothing, anyone else having this issue? Im going to go back to 1.2 and see if the problem once again goes away.

    [edit] nevermind figured it out, someone has been in my computer room lol a few speakers were disconnected ^^;; yup this is why you always check your physical first before going software lol… d’oh…

    Hmm... new installer doesn't seem to work very well. Did a clean install and I have no audiocenter what so ever.

    • CarvedInside12 Nov 2010 @ 17:16

      Which version did you used (normal/low DPC latency..) and what OS do you have? You might try an uninstall & driver clean with Driver Sweeper and install again.
