  1. I just tried low latency. This driver has the asus control panel. So i turn GX mode off. Bioshock and stalker still allow me to turn the EAX tab on. I though i had to manually turn GX mode on with the Bat files? I would like to have control over turning this on or off as some games dont like GX mode on. This driver seems messed up with regards to GX mode. It needs fixing.

    1. The Low DPC latency version doesn’t autostart-up hsmgr.exe files that ASUS uses for EAX emulation. You only need the second part “2) Download and run the corresponding hsstart ***.bat file and add it to Start->Programs->Startup for automatic startup.”

      If you have the GX button disabled, then it is disabled.

  2. Hello Internet world,

    does this driver fix also work with my asus xonar dx/xd ? so many dx2,xd,dx,d2 etc.. im sure that i have the small one, low profile card fo rpci express. the sound is good, but sometimes, when u play games or wathc a movie, if the appl. crashes so does the sound 😉

    i get a infinte loop sound, i can only stop this issue by openig device mang. and disable and reenable the audio device. Are there any fix for this problem ?

    sfme

    thx for the hard work

    1. I don’t know of such card xonar dx/xd, but i think it will work. But best way is to try them.

      For your issue, I really don’t know, anyway application shouldn’t crash in the first place. Be sure to check and let us know if they fix the problem for you.

  3. hey there!

    i just installed the b2 driver and it seems like if it’s done correctly. but only the driver itself is installed. there is no c-media program and the folders “asus xonar audio” in start menu and “Asus Xonar DS Audio/customapp” in the program folder are empty.
    what am i doing wrong?

    i’m using a german version of win7 64bit. don’t know if that is important regarding folder names or something…

    [later edit]
    chose restart later after installation and i could use the program by clicking the tray icon. then i did the restart and the tray icon is lost and i can’t find the program anywhere.

    1. No the C-Media B2 build doesn’t use the files in CustomApp folder, those files are for Asus Control center.
      Yes that was a problem, tray icon not running after restart, but you can launch it from Control Panel.
      I solved that problem with the 1792 1.20 drivers. There you can choose to install the C-Media Audio Center by running the \win7\3.CmediaPanel.bat before running setup.exe

      1. downloaded 1.20 and now i’ve got another problem. during installation that red window, wich informs me about that the driver is not digitally signed, appears. but only for a very short time so i can’t chose to install the driver anyway.
        it seems like the installation continues after that but when it’s finished i get the information that i can’t use this driver because it’s not digitally signed…
        thanks for your efforts so far

        1. That shouldn’t suppose to happen, I mean not working. Although red window appears and disappears quickly, thats because Asus doesn’t have WHQL(Microsoft) signed drivers, and they skip the unsigned driver attention & warning.
          Do you have SP1 (beta or pre-beta) installed Windows 7? From what I know, SP1 takes blocking unsigned drivers at the next level.
          Can you install the normal version of UNi Xonar 1.20?

  4. no sp1 beta version. just windows 7 professional. and unfortunately i’m unable to install any version of 1.20… moved back to original asus driver in the meantime so that i can at least use my computer :S
    but if you have any idea to solve the problem i’ll try, because it’s impossible for me to play games since the dpc latency is that high.

  5. It seems there is no way to enable FP Headphones within C-Media control panel on Win7, no “Oxygen HD Front Panel” option like in XP…

  6. I have tried several times to install the 1792 v1.20. I have cleaned everything out. Did the Patches first as per instr. But after restart there is no driver installed at all. If I reinstall 1790 v1.11 there is no problem. Why can’t I upgrade? Tried this process several times.
    Also, why have a lost the ASUS interface? I use the card mostly for sound/music. I cannot get the digital out to change sampling rates despite changing settings
    Please help

    1. Give me some details , like which OS & Xonar card do you have. Did you try to run the normal setup without customizations? Don’t get the last part, with the question and all.

  7. Is there anyway to enable DTS connect with these drivers? If not, could you add the feature? I know it’s part of the DSP.

    1. For know I couldn’t find a way to edit the control panel. But I may be able to help you with a .bat file that should work, but its not so practical if you enable & disable frequently.

  9. Hi

    Tested the install with the c-media center UI.
    The c-media center UI did does not show up. I saw it in the try right after the insatll, but it died (disappared) when I moved the mouse over it.
    Restart did no difference.

    Windows 7, x64
    Xonar Essence ST

  10. It also seem that when you use the C-Media panel with an Asus Xonar DG, you lose the ability to set the headphone amplification level. (Unless I’ve missed it somewhere!?)

        1. Now I know what you are talking about, and not all cards support headphone amp, mine doesn’t. I just remembered that for now with C-Media Panel the headphones amp aren’t there. I previously tried to make an external application that would enable various amp settings but it didn’t work, tried testing it with someone that requested it. I have yet to try and see if i can make it work. if something comes up I have your email and I will contact you.

          1. This is something I’m missing as well 😦 Studio grade headsets have more resistance and require an amp, so without this setting its really quiet 😦

            1. Starting with 1.30 drivers while installing the C-media panel , you can also access the Asus Xonar Audio Center, and enable the missing options from there (like amp in your case). I know its not a perfect solution but for know this is the best one.

              Note that your card must support headphones amp change.

    1. Yes I have a xonar stx card and selecting impedance level
      – 64ohms
      on the c-media panel would be great!

  12. Forgive me if I missed something, but;

    EX button in the C-media driver GUI does nothing and the batch files listed here can’t be downloaded at the moment. Could someone just open them in notepad and paste them in the comments please?

    Version 1792.

  13. Hi, can you upload the files to a mirror? (rapidshare, mediafire, fileserver, megaupload, etc)? the ftp isnt working.
    BTW thx, the drivers are awesome! Keep up the good work.

    1. The links on this page are for an old version of the drivers that was used for testing. Now you can choose to install the C-Media Panel by downloading the default package.
