Me too. Big problems installing.
Uninstall the former drivers. Reboot the machine and the new will never install.
Update. When installing with Asus control panel it worked fine. Not with c-panel.

CarvedInside :
Yes, thats because C-Media Panel doesn’t have the headphone impedance option in its settings.
I tried to activate it separately from the C-Media Panel, and didn’t work. I am planning to work on this but it does take time, and my Xonar doesn’t support headphone impedance at all, so its a little harder for me.
So every CMI8788 sound card except the xonar series has no control over headphone impendance?
No,I think you got it wrong. Xonar cards are all based on CMI8788, but not all of them have the headphone amp implemented on them (thats hardware wise).
Look at that! 1793 drivers for XP: ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/Audio_Card/Xonar_Xense/
🙂
Thx for the heads up.
The new UNI drivers are already in works. I have been working and testing them for 2 days now.
Hopefully anyone thats interested can wait 1 or 2 more days.:)
Updated ASIO 2.0.0.4, hope this one will be better than previous. Drivers seems to be the same as Daniel_K has published.
Just tried the low dpc latency option and it does lower it, but not as much as you stated (or as much as I hoped it would). That of course depends on the setup so yeah... Currently I'm seeing 103~143 (absolute maximum 174) when playing music. When idle I see 93~124 (absolute maximum 143). I haven't opened the asus control panel, but I imagine things will be the same as with the normal mode (143~214)
Yes that depends on the setup, might not be such a bit difference from 2.0 sound as to 5.1 sound output (as I tested it). And maybe you did enabled some sound options , I wrote about this in the release notes.
Keep in mind that even with no drivers installed, you will still have DPC latency, maybe 80 us in your case. The DPC latency depends also on other system components & drivers. I myself have 70 us (max) while playing music using 2.0 /44.1 KHz settings with C-Media Panel.
To make sure you are doing everything ok. Install the low DPC drivers or C-Media Panel, don;t change any options, restart your system and after that check your DPC latency while playing music, after than launch Asus Xonar Audio center and check the DPC latency again.
1.30 installs and works perfect without "temp workaround"!!!

Hi!
Great driver...
I have one problem I don't know if it can be solved by this driver, or if it's hardware related. If I choose Stereo Mix in windows 7 32 bit Recording Devices, it mute the Line In. I know it works correctly with other brand of sound cards. Is there a way to get around this problem?
Thx
From what it seems it switches to Microphone when choosing the Stereo Mix. As an output recording source, if you have separate line in and microphone jacks, might want to switch the jacks.
Even if this works but you still need the Stereo Mix and Line in. Let me know and I will try to check it out!
Installation opens an empty CMD window and gets stuck that way.
Default settings,Windows 7 32bit, D1, v1.30.
Problem above occurs when Silent Installation is checked.
When not, it returns to the 5 minutes installation ending with a “Plug in your Xonar audio device”
And now it also occurs on v1.26 which worked fine by now.
Every installation try is followed by a Driver Sweeper erase in Safe Mode.
PLease help.
Try to download the driver again, as I did just a minor change in the Xonar D1 information file. If still doesn't work , check this guide.
Hopefully one way or another will make it work.
Let me know if you manage to install the drivers or not.
Just installed the new version. Everything works fine and I don't have any problems...yet. If anything happens I'll report back. (STX/W7 x64).
P.S. I haven't seen this confirmed, but does EAX still work with these drivers (regardless of the installation method)? I haven't had the time to test that yet
EAX will work only with Normal or C-Media GX versions.
@message for other readers
Just want to point out that I did respond to all other comments , please check them out
How is the stereo-to-5.1 upmix feature enabled/disabled? Seems like it might be nice to have game cutscenes with stereo audio upmixed, if it's actually doing a Dolby-esque decode.
Its a registry key, but you would have to restart or disable/enable the soundcard, ill try to update the files external files with a stereo upmix disable/enable switch.
Sounds perfectly acceptable. Thanks!
Hi,
I have a Xonar Essence ST and I wanted to install the latest driver 1.30 (I previously was using version 1.26 normal) with the C-Media panel because of the better latency.
The setup finished without problems but actually it didn't work.
If I started foobar it didn't find an ASIO device.
So I installed version 1.30 NORMAL and it now works (also during the installation the card's relays clicked - they didn't during the installation with the C-Media panel).
Any ideas?
I have this same symptoms 🙁 Card (Essence ST) doesn't install correctly with C-Media Panel 🙁
To everyone who is having problems with the installers detecting the presence of the card: try opening your device manager, right clicking on anything and selecting "Scan for hardware changes." In my experience this recognized my D1 under Win7 x64 when the installer couldn't.
Also to those who experience sound corruption that would otherwise need to be resolved via restart: close any applications that are using sound(active or inactive), then use device manger to disable and re-enable your "*****Audio Device" without needing to restart! If it prompts for restart it's because something is still accessing the hardware (close it and try again). Window vista/7 is required. And if you use the C-media panel you'll need to log off/on to restore it (or maybe write a batch file to reinitialize it...I dunno how to do that though). The Asus panel can be started via shortcut.
As far as I can tell, there should be no need to restart after updating or reinstalling at all (unless you're still on XP). That's the beauty of user mode drivers, they run independently of the OS kernel!
Hope this is helpful to someone.
Also: If it tells you that a restart is needed to disable/re-enable the Xonar in the device manager in Win Vista/7, and you've closed everything you can think of, there's still something you can do that worked for me:
Right-click the Windows mixer applet in the system tray and open playback devices. Right-click and disable each Xonar playback device (usually Speakers and SPDIF). With those disabled, try the device manager disable/enable again, then re-enable the Xonar playback devices.
Your comment helped. Thanks.
Installed fine and working great!
Thanks!
Greetings CarvedInside, I have sent a letter to which no reply was, so I am here. Is it possible to add a driver to xonar ds modes for music and movies, as is done for example in xonar dx.
Thank you.
I am so sorry I read it but i totally forgotten. Ill put this in the to do list. Asus xonar control panel displays different options based on the card detected on the system, so this could be tricky so I can't promise you anything.
Well, you try to do 😉
Thanks, great drivers. Everybody experiencing a problem with v1.30, Low DPC, Silent Install - Just go to Device Manager and right click on anything and Scan for Hardware changes. It will work.
Just want to ask you neither the alternate install special build didn't work for you?
Silly question, but before or after running the install?
