Happy new year!
Hello,
I had issues installing the 1.5 drivers on a machine running Windows 7 x64. With test mode enabled, the install would never finish and I would have to force close it. With it disabled, I was able to install the drivers but I had the driver signing issue. (Settings I used were C-media audio, unchecked silent install).
My workaround was to install the drivers without test mode enabled, and when the program asked me to reboot, I ran the "enable test mode" batch file. Upon reboot, the drivers were installed and working. Hope this helps someone else.
Its unbelievable that ASUS is not able just to map a sound data stream into their (My) Xonar STX so it outputs correctly. Few Months ago i set up my new AKG 601 & Xonar STX and monitored the sound improvement of the dynamic 601 headphones over several weeks. I thought "Not bad, but I am probably to old now with almost 50 to get really exited by my mature ears". Since yestarday with your v. 1.41 driver ... Wooow!!! These sinks go up and down my spine, accoustic gutiars let me litearlly shiver. I love you guys!
To be honest I am a little hesitant taking credit for music sounding better with uni xonar drivers, because the changes I made weren't directly targeted at improving the sound quality. But others like you claimed this too, so i don't know exactly what the deal is.
I am glad that everything is fine now! And if for whatever reason you go back to the original drivers and notice that the sound quality is the same(or it still isn't), please come and share this with us!:)
Hi! I Have experienced an annoying problem with the Line In of my Xonar DG 5.1…. I hope you can solve this strange problem in a future release of your great Uni Xonar Driver. When I connect my iPod to Line In and I activate the “Monitoring” option from the C-Media Panel for listen to music from it, and passes a certain time playing some songs (four minutes normally), starts to sound noises like a sort of peaks that pricks my speakers while plays the music. It’s very ugly how it sounds. But when I select the microphone In and I play music from the iPod connected to it, I haven’t any problems, except a low noise when there is silence but, because it’s an ipod and not a Microphone hehe XD! The Driver version is v1.50 Exp1. I hope my message could be understood hahahaha! Greetings from the South of Argentina n_n
Hi. I understand what you are saying, sadly I am afraid that this thing is out of my hands as I have limited access modding these drivers.
Just a thought, by deactivating microphone boost and lowering the microphone volume might get rid of the low noise while using microphone in.
Thanks! it's a good solution anyway. You're OK, bye!
Hello everyone! Happy New Year!
I've got one problem and I can't find a solution. When I exit a game (example Fifa 12)/ or a game crashes strange noise appears. I can't stop it until restart PC. I am using Xonar DS with Unified Drivers 1.50. OS is win7 86x Sp1.
Thanks in advance!
Hello and Happy New Year!
Be sure you have GX turned off. If its off, uninstall and try also with 1.41 drivers.

As Carved said, make sure GX is off except in old pre-Vista games that have explicit EAX or DirectSound3D support.
If it still happens, you may be able to at least stop the noise by disabling and re-enabling the Xonar driver in the Windows device manager. Sometimes this doesn't work and you are forced to reboot to fix it, but there's nothing to lose by trying.
Hi guys
I've got Xonar DX card and having two silly problems with it
1) Out of blue sky there is crackling noisy sound with lenght about 1sec. This coming up in maximum volume ignoring windows volume settings. It really scares me, especially if there is a silent room and this shows up..
2) I'm loosing my right stereo channel (it plays very quiet comparing to left), Restart PC will solve this problem
I've RMA my first XONAR DX but second (brand new) card is have got the same symptoms..
If any of you know a solution I would really be greatful
Regards,
Stan
PS: Installed latest 1.50 exp1 on Win7x64 without any problems (test mode enabled)
Have you tried updating Xonar DX firmware?
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Audio_Card/Xonar...
PLX firmware update Ver 1.1
Description:
1.Fix Xonar D2X/ Xonar DX/ Xonar HDAV 1.3/ Xonar HDAV 1.3 Deluxe channel swap or noise/latency during 192kHz 5.1/7.1 playback when used with certain motherboards (like Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3, Gigabyte GA-MA790FX-DQ6, etc.)
2.After installing, please reboot your system to get the patch take effect.
Attention: I don't know if the updater works on Windows 7 or Vista. But you can try running it with admin rights (run as administrator).
@stanik_sk
I recommend to try what MasterFaster said. It should work with Win7 too.
If this doesn't help maybe a motherboard bios update could be of help.

Have you eliminated your speakers/headphones as a possible source of the issue? What you describe sounds a lot like a bad cable or connector somewhere in an analog audio path (sound card -> speaker amplifier or speaker amplifier -> speakers).
It is not related to his headphones.
I'm having the same issus that stanik_sk mentions (Asus Xonar DX on Win7x64): A few weeks ago it started that I lose my right stereo channel. Fortunatly it only occured three times. The solution is rebooting, nothing else:(
I dont think it is related to your modded driver. I'm using the one that is based on asus 1794 since the release of your modded version. In the last months I've only used Windows Update and updated my AMD drivers. So maybe that'll be an issue which Asus, AMD or Microsoft has to fix.
When running the Asus Drivers there is an ASIO control panel that allows setting the bit depth at 16, 24 or 32. Since I've been running your wonderful drivers I exit out all the Asus stuff. What happens to bit depth in this case? Does it run at the last selected setting?
I run all our audio through JRiver Media Center 17. It also has a bit depth setting. Any idea how this all ties together and how the final bit depth is determined?
Thanks again for all your efforts.

Using a Xonar DG and UNi Xonar 1794 v1.41
Battlefield 3 with audio set to 48Khz / 8 Channel / Dolby Headphone OFF / Other settings like Flexbase OFF
BF3 audio set to Home Cinema or War Tapes.
Strange sounds, not the same as Asus driver on their site.
Things just don't seem to sound correct. It seemed some things like Heli's and jets, tanks etc, Were right next to me. And I could not hear some voices. Lots of the game sounds sounded wrong. Hard to describe it. Could be issue with the game, though it did sound ok before. Maybe someone who has this card and the game could check it out.
Going to try the Uni 1.5.
TY for the work on these drivers. Happy New year - belated but not by much.
Could I be so bold as to ask for some simpler expalnations of what some settings do.
What we should be choosing when installing the drivers.
For us simpletons (we are the MANY)
I mean I get the basics, like don't up mix the audio from say BF3 48Khz to 96Khz,
but I need to be told 'what's best' as my uneducated ears cannot decide what 'sounds better'. If I know it's working the best it can, that would do great. I think there are a lot of people in the same situation as I am in.
Thanks again.
Well I am thick, but also tired and should get to sleep.
Installing UNi Xonar 1796 v1.50 exp1
It did not ask to reboot at the end of the installation.
I rebooted, device manager shows.
"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)"
I'm guessing its just unsigned driver, but strange it didn't ask "install anway"
Will give it a go after a good kipp.
Well it seems the card is broken, or the drivers have changed a setting that will not uninstall
UNi Xonar 1796 v1.50 exp1 would not install properly(or I had to tick a box to select somethin on the install.
Installed asus driver. reboot
When I watch a movie, there is no voice. As if the channel is missing. All the silly tricks are off only when I select Doly headphone, I can hear the voices again. Sounds very tinny.
Unistalled-reinstalled all with reboots and its the same, buggered.
I'm pretty good with pc's but this has me stumped.
Are there and files that are placed in windows system folder, possibly, that could be creating the issue?

Hello again.
There is several people with this rare problem. There seems to be no solution yet. I've contacted Asus 3-4 times already but they're hopeles as usual. Just pre-prepared copy/paste messages is what I received from them regarding this matter
I just updated card's firmware from the link above, I must of forgot this.. but I did that on the card which was send to RMA (didn't help at all). I've MB Bios updated to latest official version. It's ASUS P5Q Pro. This MB have got 2 PCI-e slots for my soundcard but VGA card is covering one of them so I can't try change it. I've decided to borrow this Xonar to a friend of mine for testing. He noticed 0 (ZERO) problems with this card on his Asus P5Q Deluxe MB during one month testing. I'm 99% sure that my MB is just fine, but it's P45 chipset so it's out of market already. What is making me even more sure that my MB is allright is threads I've been reading on the Internet. We are not just few experiencing this problems.
I'ts seems to me that there is some bit of incompatibility between this two Asus products. I'm really angry about it now. I was thinking about swtiching MB with that friend, but I'm running RAIDS on this machine, not gonna risk it because of sound card. The other solution was change DX to D1 (PCI slot) and hope that this card will be working properly. They've said the D1 is simply PCI verios of DX but that's not true. D1 doesn't perform that well so it's basically downgrade.
I wish I could record that bloody noisy sound comming out of my headphones/speakers ocasionally. It's like 10seconds of nail scratching the iron plate is played in one second with maximum volume. Could bring you the heartattack (not kidding now!). Loosing of right stereo channel is also annoying but not dangerous
Also, look at this image, this is the RMA card I've received. Especially look for U22 bug. As weird it seems this could be a re-work and doens't effect Xonar working order. (it worked one month in my friend's MB without a glitch) http://prntscr.com/5388m
(Just to be curios here, could anyone verify this on his DX cards purchased in last 6 month?)
Anyway, I'm trying your new drivers now.. I'm dediced to return the card to its seller and ask for cash back or D1 replacement.. Few more audio "shocks" and I'll do that

1. Uninstall the Xonar drivers.
2. Reboot.
3. Download Driver Sweeper from: http://phyxion.net/Driver-Sweeper/Driver-Sweeper/...
4. Install it and then run it (as admin).
5. Check ASUS - Sound, then click on Analyse and then on Clean
6. After you clean everything related to ASUS - Sound, then reboot.
7. Then try to reinstall the drivers.
Note: Always run the driver setup as admin.
