Xonar D2x problems

father-ted · 6 Nov 2009 at 20:56

I am having trouble getting the Xonar control panel to work.

I can only install the drivers from the cd that is supplied in the box, none of the new drivers will install for me on W7 64bit. I have sound, but the control panel will not work.

Onboard sound in the bios is disabled.

I have disabled the ATI gfx card audio as well, still the same.

I have a TV card already installed, which is working fine....dunno if that has any impact?

Any ideas please?

anyone?

What does the beta W7 64 driver say when you try and install it?

Right, managed to get the W7 1775 driver to install.

I have sound, but again the Xonar control panel does not work correctly.

The mute and volume dial does not work, the EQ does not work along with most other things.

I have it set to 5.1 speakers for my Logitech 5500's, but it seems to be outputting in stereo (L+R), and not 5.1.

I also cannot adjust the sound with the eq etc.......very strange.

Hey, just posted this in the thread about win7 and d2's.

"i have a d2x and win 7 beta drivers from asus, all good except, when source is set to stereo and then either headphone or 2 speakers is selected as output none of the effects work like, game mode, movie mode, music mode, graphic equalizer etc, but put source as 5.1 then headphones and all the options work so thats my one issue.

Would be great if people could let me know if the above effects them.

Apart from that all is well.

Cheers"

We seem to be having the same problem, i cant check that i'm actually getting 5.1 but all i know is in 5.1 the control panel options work.

Yes 5.1 in the control panel is showing, all the speakers are working but it is only in stereo L+R from what I can see.

Nothing else seems to work either.

I'm not sure if this helps but I know for my X-Fi on Vista 64-bit when I constantly had sound issues and couldn't get some drivers to work I ended up downloading the lastest driver.
Then extracting the driver *.exe file using winRAR then manually installing the driver for the soundcard via Device Manager, which resolved all my issues.

As I say I'm not sure if its of any use but if your running out of ideas it might be worth a try.

Thats how I installed this driver mate, as I struggled to get it installed the usual way.

Seems very strage.

I just put my problems down to Creative sucking majorly when it comes to drivers, but I'm surprised Asus haven't sorted the issues with their cards.

Mmmm how odd ,
TBH i had many problems with my Xonar till i upgraded to W7 64bit
the beta drivers loaded straight in no probs :confused:

Thats the strange thing, the drivers appear to have installed but when you check things they ain't quite right.

I cant adjust the EQ and most sound settings, which is a pain.
