    Maybe you can do a recording with the sound that you are getting. Are you using speakers or headphones?

    Yes, i've executed the DDL_DTS_Activator.exe and then the BAT file. But i can't find the Realtek speakers entry in the registry (may be because i've installed 2.58 version? must i uninstall it and then install 2.57? where can i download 2.57 ver?

    I'd really appreciate it if you could add support for the "Array Microphone" option from the U1 drivers for other Xonar cards. I have a microphone that benefits from this option being enabled (not the one that comes with the U1, although I have that one as well) and I'd love being able to use the option on my Desktop PC, as it tremendously lowers the pickup of outside noise.

    Thanks in advance!

      Didn;t knew for what was the Array Microphone but wanted to find out.. I'll check this out and see if I can enable it. Can you tell me if this can work with any microphone or only with special ones?

    hi
    every time i go to the mixer tab in de cmedia panel it crashes: http://666kb.com/i/brip5x78a7blbjoom.png

    i'm using the uni xonar 1.30 drivers (tried the 1.30 TB5 too).
    installed with cmedia panel without gx, with stereo upmix, disabled silent install (but saw no errors)

    any advices?

      Didn't encounter this before. I think the problem might be an your side. Are you having Win7 SP1?
      Have you tried a complete uninstall, using driver sweeper like in the faq guide? Does this happen with 1.26 drivers?

      In the worst case if you don't manage to solve the problem then you could use the mixer options from the Asus Audio Center instead.

        ok i removed the driver and reinstalled a third time. it works now. but the stereo upmix function (i've checked during install) is not working. in fact that did not work for me the last 2 driver versions 🙁

          Maybe you forgot to select sound channels: 2, speaker config: 7.1 (8), as this is how stereo upmix worked on Win7/Vista with any Xonar driver.
          LE: At least this is how it has worked for me the past 1-2 years on Win7.

            i'm pretty sure stereo upmix worked in previous driver versions when selecting 6 channel input and 5.1 output (without any further settings). that's pretty much what i initially wanted - since i really don't want to switch the channel input every time i play games or listen to mp3s. especially problematic when listening to mp3s WHILE playing 😉

              I know what you are saying, but for me it doesn't work even with stereo upmix enabled v1.10 the way you described.
              Bu there is a chance that it might be a problem on my side.

              Maybe with the previous driver you enabled audio options like Dolby Pro Logic ? Please uninstall the latest driver, and try an older version that you know it worked, to confirm or deny that it previously worked without any other settings.

    Hello... I love your driver, works great for my Xonar STX... however I was wondering, did something change with the ASIO? When I use my primary sound card driver in foobar, and switch to ASIO, i don't hear a difference anymore... is this because everything is using ASIO now? Thanks a lot!

    Reply

    • CarvedInside07 Mar 2011 @ 23:45

      🙂
      No, the drivers still use Asio only for specific applications (like foobar) that are configured to play through ASIO .

    I also posted on the Asus site because there updated drivers also do this. the Original drivers Go to Sleep.

    Any updated driver OR even Uni drivers refuse to enter Sleep state on Win7. At any time i can fall back to the Original driver disk , install drivers and win7 WILL enter sleep state. None of the Updated drivers i have tried will sleep. they all return the same Problem, Using a CMD prompt(right click- Run as Admin)and type

    powercfg -ENERGY

    In the report it states....
    [quote]System Availability Requests:System Required Request
    The device or driver has made a request to prevent the system from automatically entering sleep.Requesting Driver Instance PCIVEN_13F6&DEV_8788&SUBSYS_82691043&REV_004&2d87d632&0&10F0
    Requesting Driver Device ASUS Xonar D2 Audio Device[/quote]

    I do not get this with the original drivers but they crash.

    Just a heads Up... hope to get this sorted...

      Sleep as normal standby or hibernate ( both windows options) or Standby - S3 (hardware, bios option) ?

      I don't noticed this problem on Win7, maybe someone else that uses Win7 as primary can check this out, but maybe your Win7 installation is "corrupted" or there is a conflict with other drivers on your system.

    I've been using 1.25 drivers for several months without any issues. However, after installing any new version (including latest 1.30) I've been experiencing a high level of background static noise when no audio is playing. I'm using Xonar Essence ST on Windows 7 32bit. Any suggestions?

    • CarvedInside07 Mar 2011 @ 23:52

      You can try an uninstall, restart, clean with driver sweeper and install again.

      Are you using headphones or speakers?

    My experience is similar to hunterz0's.

    Was trying for 3 hours until I managed to get the “Please plug-in UNi Xonar Audio device!” Retry/Cancel popup and I followed hunterz0's sequence to success.

    In the hours of trying i notice that BOTH regular 1.30 installer AND TB5 can cause the long shutting down.

    Also tried going back to 1.28 but see the same problem - seemingly endless installation.
    Goes on so long that I force close it but when i restart the driver is installed with no control panel.

    I'm guessing its the same with the 1.30 installers, the pattern endless install then restart to have drivers only. Didn't make sure as for the 1.30, after the endless install, I rebooted to safe mode to clean off the drivers to retry.

    Hope the installation will improve in the next version.

      I'm sorry for this.

      Except for the fact that this problem might be caused clients side*, the original asus driver installer (which my drivers still use) is crap.
      * Don't get me wrong but windows does rot over time and is high influenced by the stuff you install on it, not counting malware and other viruses.
      I recently had to reinstall my WinXP X64 because it was causing different small problems, and nothing I tried fixed . This was using my ~10 years of expertise in computers.

    Driver install hangs at a blank command prompt. Saying it will be completed in 60 seconds...

      Thats a "stationary" message. But you seem to have a problem, please uncheck silent install option to see what error you get.
      You also might want to try the 1.30 test build 5.

        Please plug-in UNi Xonar Audio device!

        The thing is, I went into device manager like it has been suggested and searched for new hardware changes, but that stays at "Scanning Plug and Play compliant hardware"

        LE as in, it doesn’t do anything, it just stays there.

          Have you tried installing the test build ?

          BTW: Try a driver clean with the latest Driver Sweeper , as Jay suggested.

            I did it with the test build, and as the above post by Zero said, I then did the official release one on top of it, that seemed to work.

    I don't know if this will help anyone else or if it was just coincidence for myself, but for quite a while now I've been having the same installation problems, able to get them to install in a process very similar to hunterz, or installing them through safe mode. However I noticed a recent update to DriverSweeper that I downloaded, and for the heck of it I did a complete uninstall of the uni drivers then a sweep with the new version, and upon running the 1.30 install, it finally worked right off the bat. I was considering the idea that maybe the previous version of Driver Sweeper had something to do with at least some of the installation issues, one that this new version fixed. In any case maybe it'd be worth a try for those having issues.

      Thanks for sharing this. Its possible that might be some remaining files that in some cases are not deleted when running (UNi) Xonar uninstaller, and previous versions of driversweeper didn't either. If this is the case I can add some delete routines before the driver is installed. Hope others can confirm what you are saying.

        Just an update, I decided to try the whole process a second time to see if the first time was an abberation or not. Uninstalled, wiped with DriverSweeper, and this time I installed with C-Media, GX enabled, 5.1 upmix (first time around I did Xonar Audio Center, 5.1 upmix), and again the install worked the first time. Also for the record since I failed to mention it the first time, I'm running a Xonar DS on Win 7 64bit.
