Hello, this is my first post on this site 

I have recently bought an ASUS XONAR ST and I hope next week I will also get the SONY MDR XB500's (I already ordered them). Next year probably I will also get the SENN's HD 598 (if I buy them now my wife will kill me

).
I just installed the ST drivers and I was terrified when I have heard a lot of pops and clicks and also during playing in the XONAR AUDIO CENTER. After this experience I have read the forums and it seems like this is "normal", I don't think so but anyway...
After this I have tried to watch a movie but then I have seen the next problem: I have CyberLink PowerDVD 10 installed but I cannot launch the program with the ST. I have to go in device manager to disable the ST and then I can start POWERDVD, but if I enable the ST again the PDVD close without any error message... I have also try PDVD 9 but I have the same problem... I have also tried UNi Xonar 1790 1.11 and UNi Xonar 1788 1.01 but I have the same results.
Another problem is that after restart (not every single restart, but...) the TV TUNER drivers are uninstalled or something because if I launch the TV application (PVR2) I get an error message "Cannot find any video capture device" and I have to reinstall the drivers and then everything works fine with the TV TUNNER.
Also another one: when I restart or shut down, my PC dose not actually do this: on the monitor is writing "windows is shutting down...", the monitor shut down but the PC doesn't (all the vents are spinning).
All this troubles I have since I put this nice sound card into my PC... Can anyone help me with some answers to my problems? I have seen a lot of people are using PDVD with STX/ST why I can't do this (now I'm using TotalMedia Theatre 3)?Next step will be a WINDOWS clean install, but until then maybe one of you have some ideas...
 
I have:
OS WINDOWS 7 X64 Ultimate Version 6.1.7600
MOBO M4A79T DELUXE, last bios
CPU Phenom II X4 955BE
KingstonHyperX 4GB DDR3 1800MHz CL9 Dual Channel Kit KHX1800C9D3K2/4G
HDD WD1001FALS
PSU Enermax MODU 82+ II 525W
GPU MSI HD 5770
TV TUNER LEADTEK WINFAST TV2000XP EXPERT
Antivirus AVIRA
 
Sorry for my bad english.

OK, I'm back after the new Windows 7 install:
 
1. pops and clicks are still here at start and shut down of PC and also during options changing in ASUS AUDIO CENTER
2. the problem with the TV TUNER is still here from time to time, if it comes up I have to make a restart or two and then everything it's ok, without reinstalling the TV TUNER (or I just reinstall the TV TUNER driver...) I think this is from some compatibility issues between the drivers from the 2 products XONAR ST and Leadtek TV2000XP Expert. For XONAR I have installed the last beta driver 7.12.8.17731 and for Leadtek the last one from Leadtek site.
3. the problem from the shut down or restart (PC does not turning off) is still here and I have it also at start up (the vents are starting but the beep from the MOBO is not coming and the monitor does not power up). This is my biggest problem, because it's happening very offen

. I don't know if it's a problem from the MOBO (the PCI slots are not allocated correct, maybe I'm saying something stupid now).
4. CyberLink PowerDVD 10 is working

 
I'm thinking to change the MOBO or the TV TUNER...

Cicad,
 
Did you make sure to disable the on-board audio and remove all previous audio drivers before installing the Xonar ST??????

 

[cicad]

yep, I have disable it from BIOS and after the fresh install I didn't installed the drivers for the onboard sound card, so this is not the problem...

t installs 1790 for the version of your operating system.
USA ASIO or Wasapi, as it prefers your ear

Hi OverDrive I have also tried that drivers, you cans see that above. The sound card have some mechanic relays (they have informed me about this on the asus forum). When I start up or shut down the PC I have to hear that relay clicking if it does not click at start up the PC is not starting (only the vents does) or the tuner will not work, at shut down or restart no clicks => the PC will not shut down properly... I will listen much more carefully those clicks and I will come back.

Based on what you posted I would think there is some type of conflict with the card and the tuner.  Can you move one or the other to another slot?  This should reset the cards resources and fix the conflict.  -If this is the issue.

On my MOBO I have only 2 PCI slots so I can only move one product in the place of the other. Should I switch the tuner and sound card slots? I will try that also. Yesterday everything was ok, I had no problems and I only made Windows update (a lot of updates...) I don't know if this could influence or not my problems... I will do the switch only if I will have the problems again (NEVER TOUCH A RUNNING SYSTEM) and I will come with results... Thanks.

I have moved the tuner and the sound card one in the others PCI slot with no results. I have installed an older version of the tuner drivers, same thing...  I'm thinking to sell my LCD and PCI tuner for an LCD with an integrated tuner... or to buy a tv box tuner.
