I bought an Asus Xonor DG about 3 weeks ago and now this constant buzzing is happening. Even when volume is mute or 100%, its the same amount of buzz. I tried re-seating card in a different PCI port, and its still buzzing.

Motherboard: xw6600 workstation

Sounds like a short. Usually its the plug for the speakers. I would start with trying a different cord to the speakers. You can also check inside the plug sockets inside the card to see if any of the metal that touches the plugs is bent. It could also be something malfunctioning on the card itself.

Yea, I tried mutiple headphones/speakers. I guess I'll try to clean out the ports, but I don't think thats it

I use a 10x jewlers loupe and a good light to inspect computer parts. You would be surprised how many problems I solve that way. But if you end up not finding any problems you will have to conclude that the card is bad. I hope you can rma it. Good luck.
