Solved my Windows 10 sound problems dirt cheap!

May 15, 2016

Size: 105dBStyle: PCIVerified Purchase

I have an Asus motherboard with an AMD Phenom quad core processor that ran Windows 7 Home. The on board Via sound chip was good enough I ran the line out to the Aux in on an old Yamaha FX-495 Receiver that was gathering dust in a closet. I connected some early Bose satellite speakers and subwoofer to the receiver and got decent sound. I used the software equalizer and bass boost to improve the output, but it was still a computer output. When I upgraded to Windows 10 the sound enhancements for the chip were not compatible with Windows 10 and the sound quality went south. Via's newer drivers did not solve the problem. I studied the idea of disabling the on board sound and adding a PCI sound card to an expansion slot. I was going to buy a $35 ASUS Xonar PGI PCIe card until several contributors to ASUS forums mentioned the ASUS Xonar DG card would give comparable sound quality, use a PCI slot, and cost less. I noticed I could get the Xonar DG card on an open box special for $15 with free shipping and ordered it from Amazon. I disabled the on board sound chip in Bios and deleted the Via drivers and software completely. I downloaded the latest driver for the card from the ASUS support site. I installed the card and booted up. When windows recognized new hardware I clicked that I had the drivers I wanted rather than let Windows 10 load whatever it might load. I browsed to my download folder and clicked on the Asus driver and let their setup program install the drivers and software. The installation went without a hitch and as soon as I configured my speakers as the default sound output I had sound with no problems at all. I clicked on a YouTube video and found myself cranking up the volume and enjoying much better sound quality and much better bass than I ever had with the on board sound. I opened the Xonar DG Audio Center and customized the settings, selected for two speakers/large, matched the bass crossover frequency to match the Bose crossover and set the speakers as "large" even though they are satellite speakers. I played some Springsteen and then some Metallica and can say without hesitation that this card gives me bass again and the Bose speakers sound nearly as good hooked up to this computer as they did years ago hooked up to a CD player. This was the sound I had wanted out of the computer from the start...and I finally got what I wanted for fifteen dollars. That is a bargain that cannot be denied. The sound quality is excellent I have everything from deep bass to the tweeters, the THD is minimal and I can crank up the volume and listen to the music without grumbling over fidelity. Hey. This is an under-thirty-dollar sound card and it plugged right in, worked with Windows 10, and gave me full sound and great fidelity. I give it five stars for the quality at the price point. The front headphone jack is the card's default output. The headphone jack has its own on-card amplifier. The sound in an old pair of KOSS headphones was great. The card is supposed to switch automatically to line out when you have an empty headphone jack; it does not. The software has a two click setting that resets the output to line out with no problem. This problem is so minor to me compared to the enhanced quality of the sound and the improved bass I'd live with it anyway. I had to tinker with the sound chip all the time in Windows 10 anyway so this new card is probably less of a hassle to use than the on board chip was. I might buy an even better sound card if I was going to plug the line out from this computer to my primary home sound system, but I might not need a better sound card than this one if I did. The price is right (and buying the open box option even better) and I am finally happy with the fidelity and quality of the sound from my computer. If you are needing better sound than your on board sound chip provides and have a PCI slot open this might be your best bang for the buck. I could not be more pleased.

Sound card is great, installation was a nightmare.

January 7, 2017

Size: 105dBStyle: PCIeVerified Purchase

The sound card itself is excellent. Awesome audio quality, and the surround sound in game is phenomenal. The reason it got a star off, however, is that it took me an hour and a half to install the dang thing, and I am a pretty tech savy ex IT person. I've been building computers for a while and have never had this much trouble installing something.

But for future purchasers here's some advice (I wish someone had told me this). First, disable onboard sound in the BIOS. Then uninstall ALL SOUND DRIVERS (Yes, even AMD and NVIDIA install sound drivers). THEN you can install the card. If you don't do the other things first, windows will not recognize your device and will not let you install drivers.

Best Sound Card for the Money -- Buy this card! (Details on features/software in review)

August 27, 2015

Size: 105dBStyle: PCIeVerified Purchase

Absolutely best Sound Card for the price.. No question. If you are looking for a Sound Card in the Sub $50 price range.. Buy this.

I am a Network engineer, with a CS Degree, have been building computers since I was 10 yrs old, etc.. (So I know a good product when I come across it, esp. for the price).

You can choose to believe my credentials if you will.. I understand it is "online" -- Point is this card has a fantastic Signal to Noise level, built in amplifier, superb chipset to any "on-board" audio -- I personally replaced a very good motherboards audio (Asus Z87-Pro) with this card.

A few things this will do for you:

1) If you have a headset that the microphone is too quiet and you are always fiddling with settings in teamspeak, gaming, ventrilo, skype, etc... This card will VERY likely correct this issue for you. It did for all the headsets/mics I have that were too quiet.

2) This card will improve the audio quality of any headset from the cheapest of them, to the most expensive 7.1 headset on the market (Over on board audio).

3) The Amplifier is not too drastic, but it's enough to allow for a cleaner signal at a lower "volume" level which translates into a better sound quality and for detailed directional sounds to come through much more audible. (IE: Footsteps of your enemy in a FPS game, or the nuances of music, etc.)

4) This card is PCI-E -- Note the Slot, approximately 1" for this to fit. It will NOT fit in a PCI slot, but there is a PCI version that is a few dollars cheaper and does the exact same thing if you need it here: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-XONAR-Headphone-Audio-Card/dp/B0045JHJSS

5) This card DOES have TRUE 5.1 surround sound outputs. It has analog outputs for your Front speakers, another analog output for your Side speakers (and rear would go on this), and a separate analog output for your Sub(s) (3 in total).

6) The card has SPDIF (Digital Fiber Optic Audio Out) should you choose to use this/need this for your setup.

7) This card has automatic front to rear and rear to front jack detection. Even my on board audio required me to click "ok" when I plugged in a microphone / headset to the front jack -- This card auto senses this and you don't have to do anything. Quite convenient.

8) This card has EXCELLENT Software called Xonar DGX Audio Center -- Which has such things as: Volume, Smart volume, Mute, DSP Modes (HF and GX), Audio channels (2 channels to 8 channels), Sample rate (Up to PCM 96 KHz) , Analog Out options (headphones, speaker options/config etc), SPDIF Out options, Dolby Headphone Simulation of 5.1 and/or 7.1 (and it WORKS lol). It has a Mixer. It has Effects built in. It has Karaoke Settings built in (why, I don't know), It has "FlexBass" set in.. Basically a cross over which boosts your bass levels with the amplifier and frequency you set it at. It has AEC (Accoustics Echo Cancellation) -- This will allow you to use a microphone with your desktop SPEAKERS going.. and cancel out the audio. It has VocalFX (As the name implies Vocal options. -- Such as 3D Games VoiceEX, Local VoiceEx, For VOIP (Skype, etc) - Home, Bathroom, hall, etc -- "Magic Voice" -- Default, Monster, Cartoon, Male, Female (Changes your voice to those things.

9) Don't bother with the CD it comes with -- Just go to the Asus website, find the Card and download the driver and software there. Install the one .exe/rar (compressed) file setup and you are done and can configure with the aforementioned Xonar DGX Audio Center.

I have a review of the card on Youtube,.. under the youtube account ikoslog -- or Gizmo Gallery -- But there are MANY reviews of this card there and most all are steller praising reviews.

Lastly, if you have On-Board audio.. Or any of the headset problems.. Or some annoying noise in your speakers that you can't get rid of -- Buy this card. For the price, it is , again, hands down the best. It rivals $50-$100 cards and contrary to some reviews the Software (latest) from the website works right away no issues (this is on Win 8.1 Pro 64 Bit).

Take care,

Working fine on Ubuntu 12.04

March 25, 2014

Size: 105dBStyle: PCIeVerified Purchase

In case anyone was wondering if this card would work under Linux - I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on a newer ASUS motherboard. I'm using the optical S/PDIF and all is working well out of the box. No additional driver installs needed. It also looks like it has recognized the headphone jacks as well. I hope this helps if you were wondering.
