This is for the DX. I'm presuming it'll work for other Xonar variants. I'm going to give it a go now.

Ohh sweet, I had pretty nmuch given all hope of recieving new updated drivers for my xonar soundcard. Just hope this works for my D2X. Thanks again for the heads up

Great, they finally managed to fix the GX/Skype crash.

Do not Asus release the drivers for each card? So the DX driver will not be compatible with a D2X etc. I have read it was like that, not sure if that's still the case. If it is like that, then someone with a particular card might have to wait an age for a new release.

I'm not sure. Just best to select your card and then go to downloads.

I think the DG driver and DX driver were both 7.12.8.1792 though. There may be small tweaks in each driver for the particular card though.

Seems to be really good. I've binned the Uni Xonar driver.

This driver was released a week earlier for Xonar DG.

Does this fix looping issues when apps don't close properly? I'm not using my Xonar D1 at the moment due to issues with games (reverted to onboard for gaming, and enabling the Xonar for music stuff).

Does this fix stereo up-scaling? It's really the only reason I moved to the Uni drivers.

just did a fresh install and used these drivers and after a while with bootup I get the message control center failed to load anyone else having the same problem

Might as well give it a go on the DG. Haven't had any problems with the current drivers im using though

There are only two official drivers for DG, one of them comes with the card. Andy said he didn't have any problems which implicates that it's unlikely for him to use unified drivers. Logic fail.

I installed over the top and haven't had any issues. Yet.

I'd be surprised if they did fix the problem, considering how long it's been an issue for.

Uni drivers it is.

Is this driver better than the UNI driver?

I had issues with the last one and switched to the Uni.

I tried the new one the other night and everything is great with it so far with my DX.
