Hello everyone,

I'll try explain my issue to the best of my ability.

A few days ago I've purchased an ASUS Xonar DGX to complement my recent purchase of the Audio Technica ATH-m50x, unfortunately there seems to be an annoying static when sound is playing.

However when I use Spotify with HF & GX mode on (in Xonar DGX Audio Center; I have to restart Spotify before this works) there is no static. Once I play music with Foobar2000 it's back, same goes for when I start up a game (World of Warcraft in this case), or playing a video on YouTube.

Not sure if this is relevant; when the static is present and I pause/stop the music, after 20 seconds the static is gone untill I resume.

So far I have tried the following

  • ■ 3 different PCI-e slots
    ■ different system
    ■ standard drivers
    ■ unified drivers
    ■ onboard device disabled and uninstalled
    ■ different headphones

Note that the static isn't present using the onboard audio.

For the past few days I've been searching all over, but haven't found a solution and since the static isn't always present I'm not sure if it's driver related or simply a bad card.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Well... after tinkering a little more I decided to change the sampling frequency (not sure if I translated that right) from 16 bit to 24 bit, with GX on, and now the static seems to be gone..

Now I'm afraid to reboot my computer though..

No static after rebooting, looks like I solved my own issue.
