Sound loop on Asus Xonar DG

Ice213 · 1 Aug 2012 at 12:42

Hi everyone,

I've had this problem a few times in the past and wondered if there was a fix for it. Basically now and then when I quit a game or a game crashes, I get a stuttering audio loop really loud in my headset and it won't go away unless I reboot or disable the sound card and re-enable it. This is pretty annoying

.

I googled the issue and others are having but the general fix seems to be to disable GX mode, but I don't have GX mode on at all (it isn't white in the Xonar Audio centre, which i assume means it is disabled).

Just wondering if anyone has this problem and has fixed it.

Thanks

Will give them a go, see what's what. I'm just not sure I can replicate the sound loop, it just seems to be a random event. Thanks for the link though

Well try the Brainbit drivers first, then go from there. They do solve some issues people have with Asus' own, so it's worth a shot.

Do you use these yourself by any chance? I'm just not sure which one I should be installing out of the 3 available, and will it effect the Xonar audio center I have installed? I've read through the site but the comments and stuff seem to be from people who are more technically into the audio, whereas I like it to be clear and good (which it is now, just the stuttering that occasionally happens is a pain

)

Cool thanks a lot, will probably go with the Low DPC option as that seems to be the most advantageous with only a few drawbacks

Well it was only one crash on driver San Francisco, it crashed to desktop and the sound loop happened. It happened once when quitting a game a while ago and most recently today when quitting rift. Although the rift problem is widely documented but the solutions all seem to be turning off gx mode, but that has been off for the whole time. Or heading into the device manager and disabling the card then re- enabling it.

The rest were all just game exits as far as I remember (which because it happens only occasionally I don't remember them all

).

I also haven't installed the Brainbit drivers yet.
