Xonar U7 - odd issue

[ShivP]

Hi guys

I am having issues with my Xonar U7. Basically, each time my PC is turned on the Xonar has just a very slow flashing "speaker" light, and does not output any audio. I have to plug it into a USB wall charger (just a USB phone charger for example) using the USB cable it comes with for a few minutes, (during this the light stays on as normal), then plug back into my PC and it functions perfectly until the PC turns off again

If I don't leave it "charging" for long enough, when I put it back into the PC it still does not function correctly, so doesn't seem to be a driver issue

I don't have the original invoice as I purchased it off the MM and stupidly didn't ask for the invoice, so going back to OCUK or Asus is a no-go.

Does anyone know of this problem and/or a solution?

Thanks

Tried USB2.0 (case port only, my motherboard doesn't have a USB 2.0 at the back), USB3.0, all do the same

Flashing light occurs in a Windows 7 PC
