    You will need to know programming, and reverse engineering to do that self.
    Driver itself does almost nothing, you must hack Alchemy license protection, and I will not help you in that.

    Please not write to me about hacking Alchemy. I know the way but I will not share it because of legal issues.

    Still same driver signature problems, but only when i select ASIO Patch which is important to me.

    @shon3i

    It will be, because sys file is replaced, this cannot be fixed.
    Also note that ASIO patch, in this way is done it will downgrade driver to 1777.

    @CarvedInside
    ASIO patch will not work with only DLL changed ?

    Hello everybody! Thanks for great drivers. But having problems - when i play online games like tf2, css etc there is a sound loop, sound freeze, especially when some more 'difficult' sound appears. Same was with original asus drivers. This is getting really annoying. Any way how can I fix it? I have asus xonar dg. Thanks.

    also let driver cleaner run afterwards, it found some c-media stuff which driver sweeper maybe didnt remove. also got rid of that.

    Great work thank you for your effort. Additional thanks to Virus as well for the advice to not install GX, as a gamer I thought it was needed but it really isnt and DPC is reduced when its not installed.

    KIll HsMgr.exe and/or HsMgr64.exe process (GX 3D).

    Hows your DPC latency in idle and in game?

    First time when I play TF2, after the first 5 minutes I get a sound freeze for 2-3 seconds, so if you get this its somehow normal.

    Thanks Virus. Your suggestion helped somehow. Now I dont get sound freeze where I used to get before. Now it appears randomly somehow. Also Uni drivers control panel stopped working - can not open it. I guess its something to do with EAX 3D ? Dont get any sound freeze in offline games or newer games like Dead Space 2... Strangfe issue

      While playing online your network card is utilized , and this causes a higher DPC latency.
      Might want to check to install the drivers with Low DPC latency or C-Media Audio Panel option.

      Also I suggest selecting the Sample Rate at 44.1 KHz and not higher than this.

    Yeah, Carved is right. It my be buggy network card driver.

    GX is like EAX. nobody really need it. All sound effect can be done in software with same quality. There is some nice API for this - fmodex used by some good games (like Starcraft 2, Crysis)

    @CarvedInside
    I do have 192Khz in ASUS Panel and 192Khz/24bit in windows 7 control applet. All my games work just fine. I only noticed a skew in some sounds, when SVN is on and volume is <20%.

      Nothing helps. Network driver updated. Have already installed c-media panel. Latency is OK.
      44.1 Khz selected. EAX disabled. Still sound freeze and game crash error after exit.

        Test latency when downloading/uploading data, you may use speedtest like http://www.speed.io

        Also check if this is not game fault (validate steam cache in steam game properties).

          No latency drops when downloading/uplading. But i left running latency checker while playing css online and there were drops - max about 4000. So it seems my lan card is bit buggy? Steam cache also done...

      For me too! Everything runs just fine. Asus says "almost lossless" sample rate conversion for it.

        But when u do 192KHZ 24 bit in the windows control panel. it disabled all effect of the xonar, like the Upmix

          Yes u`re right! Thx ... but that sucks. Have it now @ 192KHz/24bit in CMedia Panel and @ 48KHz/24bit in windows audio panel . Applications have exclusive access i have checked the box for in windows so i think apps like PowerDVD will use 192KHz/24bit mode for HD Bluray Audio! Or games that have 192KHz audio support use the mode correct? Can somebody confirm that? Is there a possibility maybe a tool to check information about the used output mode that says for example Application use -> this mode ( like 192KHz/24bit) and windows use -> this mode (for example in exclusive mode 192/24 or normal 48/24)?

    All drivers can make high DPC Latency. We excluded networking, but maybe other driver cause that.
    I had some problems with Marvell SATA driver, so recommend you to run first disk benchmark to test your SATA controller driver DPC latency. Also you may run some graphic benchmark to test graphic driver DPC latency.

    I've just connected Sennheiser RS180.
    I don't know is it the new ASIO in Foobar, or your work guys, but now they just kick my ass 🙂
    Before these new driver they sounded only ok.
    After install it was like the Frankenstein just came alive again!
