Asus Sonar SE and Windows 11

[bertie_bassett]

Hi, first post! Been loving the new system I bought on here a couple of months ago. But the only thing I'm missing from my old system is the S/PDIF audio output from the motherboard, which I used to send hi-res FLAC music (up to 192khz) to my DAC and have lovely sound through my hi-fi separates. So I'm looking to add one of these into the system.

However, the ASUS website confirms what the reviewer says: that they haven't yet got driver support for Windows 11. This is pretty poor.

Reddit, however, seems to imply that there is still some functionality with the card under Win 11. Is there anyone on here who runs one of these cards under Windows 11, and if so can you confirm what, if anything, still works? Does the S/PDIF output work? If so then I'll get one, if not then I'll wait and see if ASUS get their act together.

I'm using an Asus STX II on Windows 11 with the Asus Windows 10 drivers, sounds great and running fault free. I expect your Sonar SE will be the same.

Just one thing, there has been issues with Asus soundcards on AMD systems, so any issues make sure your running the latest motherboard BIOS, this is presuming your on AMD platform and not Intel.
