Try the Uni drivers, I had trouble getting my Xonar DG to work.

I tried the unified drivers and the 8.1 drivers both don't seem to work for me

I have sound but cannot access the Xonar Xense application so cannot change anything!! No drivers out from Asus yet either so will have to wait

Weird,I'm using latest beta drivers from Asus website for 8.1(Asus xonar DX) and same ones for my Win10 upgrade with no issues

I had the same thing with my XFI card, managed to find some drivers that fixed it though.

Although randomly there will be no sound after certain boot ups.

Try the windows 8 drivers not the windows 8.1 i had to do that for my DGX

With my Xonar DX in W10, I get an odd issue where sometimes after waking from sleep, the left channel will be slightly louder than the right.

Thought my headphones were broken at first, rebooting sorted it :/

I use these drivers http://maxedtech.com/asus-xonar-unified-drivers/

uni drivers worked for me. I'm using an essance stx,no joy with any of the standard drivers though

Did you try the windows 8 ones rather than 8.1?

F1aw1ess · 30 Jul 2015 at 10:24

same with me;

I had to go into device manager and delete the sound card (although don't tick drivers as well) then scan for changes and it picks it up again and sounds works fine.

I have to do with every 2nd or 3rd reboot which is a bit annoying

On a fresh Win10 install I used the Uni drivers with no issue at all. If this helps.

Burnout81 · 30 Jul 2015 at 18:10

I tried both uni and 8.1 drivers on win 10 as soon as I updated with no results
I tried a clean install with uni and 8.1 drivers and 8.0 drivers with no results
I reseated the sound card and tried the above with no results

I really don't know where to go from here

ok so I feel pretty dumb but at least its fixed, in the audio center I had front panel headphones set apparently as default. changed to normal headphones and its fine now

I have the asus DGX and used the disc and windows 7 drivers worked. Easy stuff

Danny091 · 30 Jul 2015 at 19:52

The windows 8 drivers work for DGX too (Not 8.1 tho) if you ever have any problems with the 7 ones

I had that problem. Windows 10 silently updates the driver to some Xfi driver that doesn't seem to work. My Xfi sound kept going off until I realised this was updating it to a non-working driver.

To stop windows auto-updating drivers ...

Right click on This PC (also known as MyComputer) > Advanced system settings > Hardware > Device Installation Settings > Never install driver from Windows Update.

i was also havin sound card problems. i have a creative xtreme gamer card. no sound at all in w10 after upgrading from w7. playback shows that device is playing but nothing could be heard. defaulted then to onboard sound and swapped all leads over..... still nothing! rebooted and sound began to work via soundcard! w10 crashed and no sound again!!! tried to change audio settings to different rates in advanced settings and it made no diff. couldnt check the creative sound setup thingy as w10 told me it was not compatible! gave up and rolled back to w7 and all fine again.
