Was the S/PDIF (coaxial) output set to PCM or DDL, when testing?
 
Is your motherboard's on-board audio disabled, in the BIOS?
Have you tried the Unified Xonar Drivers?

How about using the program Foobar2000 (with WASAPI) to play your audio files?

 

[manhas]

yes i m using the uni xonar drivers and the spdif is set to pcm
i use aimp 4 on wasapi xonar d2 speakers audio device and the onboard sound is disabled in the motherboard bios

  Guess I would have used the term "Expanded Stereo", your taking a 2.0 audio signal and expanding it to 5.1.
If it's he sound you like, cool.

Got it!

Repalce I/V with AD8620ARZ
 
Buffer with MUSES02
 
Using RCA out.
 
Sounds more forward and much emphasis on vocals.
 
Have anyone tried this combination ?

Im using STX with Muses02 in buffer and 2x Muses 8920 in I/V ... The sound seems good ) or maybe, i cannot realize the difference between the Museses and stock opamps ))))
 
remember, 2x Muses 8920 in I/V is the config of STX II
 
now, i still have another 1x Muses02 and 2x LME49860, and feeling lazy to rolling them ))

Woah. All MUSES. I can't do that. Not without ordering a new pair.
 
Where do you source your MUSES from ?

Hello to everyone, I bought this card few days ago used at a very good price, I've read 200 pages aprox. Just want to thank you all for the information posted here, taking some of your time to explaing how to do things, differences between op-amps and some technical stuff.
 
Regards.

Im Vietnamese, the Museses ordered from stores of Taobao.com (chinese website/providers). where are you from?
 
here 2x Muses02 + 2x Muses8920 cost me only US $20, pretty cheap huh )

hi  i have one problem and i want to help me please;;
 
 my name is jim and today i bought gamezero sentheizer

i have my asus xonar stx but i have some questions

gamezero is 150 ohms headset but i put the 150 ohms from the amplier from asus stx and the volume was too slow i was putting 100 and in all the games the sound was low

but after i put the 300-600 ohms from the amplier from my asus stx the sound was fantastic and very loud and avesome

my question is will i have problems now which i put 300-600 ohms;;

because gamezero is 150 ohms...


but if i put 150 ohms the sound is very low in alla the games ,,, music and movies

but when i put 300-600 ohms the sound is superb 

 

[Jim Arvanitakis]

look in the asus stx software is telling me 

normal gain or for 64ohms headsets

high gain for 300 ohms headsets

extra high gain for 300--600ohms headsets

when i choose the high gain for 300 ohms headsets when i was playing games ,,,or music 

i was puting the volume at 100 and the sound was too low 

but when i choose the extra high gain for 300--600ohms headsets 
the sound was very loud and i was very impresed

do you understand what i mean now;;

 

[Jim Arvanitakis]
