hi, i've download these drivers for my U3 but when i run the install i get get to isnt all the drivers properly, halfaway to the process it shows error and stops
Can you make a version of the Xonar DG/U3 that runs in any soundcard ?
I have a prodigy cube dac and I really really miss the Dolby Surround provided for the DG/U3, is there a way that you can make it works to run in my soundcard ?
I have recently purchased a Xonar u1 from ebay, new unopened for £10 ( Chuffed) to use with my gaming laptop. I am currently using the windows 8 64bit drivers from the Asus site with windows 10. All is fine and working well, but is there any way to get better or modded drivers?
I'm using a Xonar STX with the latest Uni Xonar drivers on Win10. Is there any way to access and use a more fully featured equalizer than the one in the control panel? I'd like to adjust more specific frequencies and at the tenths place decibel scale. Thanks.
Hello! Is it possible to add Xear Surround Headphone (http://xdemo.cmedia.com.tw/) to the C-Media panel of a D1? Or am I limited to Xear Living and Sing Fx? Thx
Hi. I think the function is similar to Dolby Virtual Speaker and Dolby Headphones with 7.1 Virtual Speaker Shifter. You can check "7.1 virtual speaker shifter enhanced profile v1.0" by Luis CU that's included in UNi Xonar "Standalone apps pack" or preferably through XonarSwitch options.
Hi, thanks for your quick response. But I thought of Xear Surround as an (software-based?) alternative to Dolby Headphone and was hoping it would be easy to use as addon during the driver intallation (like Dolby Home Theater v4 with its headphone surround virtualizer).
The Xear Surround is not standalone application like DHT v4, it is a driver function just as Dolby Virtual Speaker and I think it's actually it's replacement and it could even perform exactly the same.
Ok thank you! A last off-topic question: Does the driver regulate how many outputs a device in Windows has? https://multiroomaudioplayer.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/2015-10-16_13-26-43.png The problem with Windows is that the output number also limits the inputs from games or movies. So if with HDMI-Audio only stereo can be selected, the game will also only work in stereo. However, if it would be possible to force Windows to 7.1, it would be also possible to do a better downmix to stereo with Equalizer APO and the six remaining channels could simply be silenced or never reaching the HDMI cable.
Hi report Problem on DHT Addon after install last Cumulative Update Agust 8 for Win10 1703 KB4034674 at startup result: Uknow hard error and the addon not work...
Problem Update: I removed the update KB4032188 suppressed by KB4034674 and reinstalled ... now it works again Probably it was temporary glitch due to poor installation of the update now all ok

Hi! Thanks for drivers! About Addon ASIO v.1. This not work on Windows 10 🙁 Card Asus Xonar DS. - Windows 7 (x64) + ASIO 1.0.8.815 + any supported sound drivers = OK + "multi-ASIO". - Windows 10.1703 (x64) + ASIO 1.0.8.815 - FAILED. - - In asioconfig.exe: "No ASIO driver found - Select a valid ASIO driver or check your setup". - - In Cubase (x32) - "Could not find kernel driver for PCIX".
Total in Windows 10: ASIO 1.0.8.815 - not work ASIO 2.0.0.1 - not work ASIO 2.0.0.4 - not work ASIO 2.0.0.7 - found, work in single mode.
masiop.dll (x32) and masiopx.dll (x64) in "windows\sysWOW64" and "windows\system32" and windows registry has worked CLSID keys in CMEDIA section and ASIO, but not work. As I understand it in Windows-10 changed API or dll manifest or etc. and asio below 2.0.0.7 can't run? Is there a solution to this problem?
Hi. I'm not sure why you are interested in running older ASIO versions. I don't have a solution to make them work. If you really want a different ASIO maybe you should check ASIO4ALL or try WASAPI playback.
Anyway, thanks for the answer. I just play music by ear (as an accomponiment). Music is played from Google Chrome or Spotify, midi play in Kontakt (VST Instruments). Now when i run Kontakt, he works with the card in exclusive mode and sounds in the system do not work.
I looked driver in the disassembler. In the 1.0 ver other GUID and few other functions. Most likely, after windows 8.1 changed the operation of devices/audio. I'm not sure... I Found another way (if anyone needs it): VB-Audio VoiceMeeter (free or donat). In any client who needs an ASIO, we choose "ASIO > Voicemeeter virtual ASIO". He outputs it to his mixer and then the shared channel can be played on audio. In any client that needs an ASIO, need send data to "ASIO > Voicemeeter virtual ASIO". In Voicemeeter, the output channel send to the audio card. Latency is the same as on the Asus ASIO (cmasioPCIX). Sounds from the system also work.
Would it be possible to get, say, a DGX to output a digital s/pdif signal over all of the 3.5mm jacks instead of just optical? Or would that require a hardware mod?
I used my "AKG K601" with the "Antlion Modmic V4" at my "ASUS Xonar D2X" on Windows 8.1 with all Updates and "UNi Xonar 1822 v1.75a r2" driver installed. In recording devices I can adjust a variable microphone boost (10dB, 20dB, 30dB). everything is working fine.
So I made a clean Install of Windows 10 Pro x64 so I have the benefits of using DX12 and the new Xbox One S Controller with Bluetooth... Here come the pain. I downloaded and installed the newest Uni Driver for my Xonar D2X wich is Windows 10 compatible. Now I only have a checkbox for microphone boost, what ist much too quiet. I used the microphone boost tweak on this site, but +3dB isn't enough.
Is there any way to make the front panel speakers act as the rear speakers? As in being able to have 5.1 with the front panel for the front L/R. My rear L/R port is making a hissing noise. 🙁
Using front panel for rear channels is not possible. There is way that might work by using the side channels (last jack) as rear channel. For this do the following: 1) Connect rear speakers to side speakers jack (last one) 2) Disable stereo upmix either by driver installer or in XonarSwitch 3) Go to Asus/C-Media/XonarSwitch and select 6 Channels and 7.1 speakers 4) Press the Hammer/Tools icon near the speakers settings and enable "Exchange rear/side channels"
Oh, I think I said the wrong thing. What I meant though was if I could use my front panel for Front L/R while also using my side and c/sub channels as normal. The front L/R port on the card is making a hissing noise so that's why I wanted to do that. Sorry if I wasn't clear. Thanks for the help though, that is very interesting...
Can someone make another addon, like the recent dolby home theater i think its called Dolby Digital Plus I want to try it on my STX II. I have tried Cracrayol's DHv4 and it sounds awesome, its more forward even with stock OP amp and even works well with virtual speaker and prologic IIx 🙂

As far as I know, this is not possible.
