Asus Xonar problem

Morning all,

I bought this card from OCUK last year
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...rd-with-built-in-headphone-amp-sc-011-as.html

and found since the last Windows Update (probably Creator Pack) that whenever the PC is switched on after being in sleep mode, the soundcard is set into headphone mode and will not play sound through the speakers. I have to manually open the Asus Xonar app, change it from headphone to 2 speaker set up for sound to come through my speakers.

What is strange is that the headphones would be plugged into the same socket all I am doing is changing the sound mode.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Bizarre as it is, I assure you it is possible! It is almost as the software doesn't recognise the soundcard until the settings are changed from headphone to 2 speaker which then "switches it on". The 3.5mm jack is not moved or even touched.

That is correct. Waking up from sleep it is in FP Headphone mode under the "analogue out" tab. I have to manually select 2 speakers for the sound card to wake up and play sound. If I then subsequently select headphone, it will work although the volume is distinctly lower but I imagine that is how it is set up.

A little worried reading about the known issues and possible issues. Do you use it on the new Win10 version and have you had any issues?
