HI all,

I am having problems detecting the Xonar Pheobus and have tried all the pcie slots with no luck. Red and the grey - even the shorter grey slot.

Have disabled the motherboard's HD onboard sound too and still not detected in my devices......

The pcie cable is connected to the sound card and i have enough PSU to power all - Enermax 1250W.

When the card is inserted to the grey slots - The red light is seen through the control extension box (Headphone/Microphone Connector box) jack ports. However the green light is NOT seen AND the Xonar Phoebus logo on the card itself is lit (powered up)

However, when i insert the card into the red pcie slots these lights are not on.

One this else i noticed is the card DOES go warm over some time so tells me it is 'not' switched off........

I tried to install the driver and i get a message 'no card detected' etc etc.
:confused:

Is there anyone kind enough to advise me their BIOS settings etc who has managed to get the Xonar to work properly. Did you have to adjust any BIOS settings from default to get the card to be recognised?

Printscreens would be cool if it is not too much of a bother.

Thank you in advance :D

Kind regards

Seem to recall there were issues with earlier bioses causing this problem - which bios are you running on your board? Think you should update to 0901 bios, and that should solve the issue for you. Many had this problem with sound cards - both Asus and others.

Hi Mark,

he BIOS has been updated to 0901 and still the same issue unfortunately:rolleyes:
 
The question(s) i have is ->

Am i missing anything when attempting to install the sound card? I have tried with no GPU drivers (including the Nvidia sound for the GTX 750 ti sc) / disabled onboard HD sound and still the sound card not detected.

Even in this motherboard, it should detect the sound card regardless of what sound source is set as default and then allow me to install it and set it as default (without messing about with the BIOS)?

Maybe my sound card has died when moving it from the last computer - Static death.....................

Thanks

Can you move it back to the last computer to test it?
 
Yep - sounds like the card could have taken a static hit. Checking it in the other pc where it worked to confirm is the best bet.

I am leaning towards static death to be honest. As the motherboards are made to be user friendly nowadays where hardware is detected automatically and easily so cannot believe i have to mess about with voltages and BIOS for a simple sound card to be detected in the pcie slot when i am not in sli mode.:cool:
 
I had to install the drivers for my Asus Xonar DGX sound card in safe mode, it told me no card detected if not, I cant recall whether it appeared in device manager beforehand or not.
