Windows 10: Asus Xonar D2X drivers

I have a Asus Xonar D2X sound-card and although it will run using a third party driver the sound is not half as good as in other versions of Windows.
There is a lot of echo that I cannot turn off and the software says it is turned off.
To be honest the sound is poo and sounds disgusting.
I am seriously hoping that Asus or Microsoft will release a driver but I'm not holding my breath as Asus only have a beta driver for Windows 8 or 8:1. The last proper driver was for windows 7.
I love this sound-card and I dont want to get rid of it due to no decent driver being available. If thats the case I will keep using W7 for as long as possible.
All other hardware has been no problem at all. I could use the onboard sound which has a driver in W10 but again the sound is not very clever hence why I updated in the beginning.

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A DECENT DRIVER. I'M USING THE 32BIT VERSION OF W10

:)

 

Windows doesn't give me the option for 5.1 Surround Sound.

I switched to Windows 10 and since then my 5.1 Speaker setup doesn't work anymore. Apparently becauseWindows doesn't give me the option to set it to 5.1.

If I test the DTS/Dolby Digital format everything is fine (Via driver and windows setting).

I use Windows 10 Pro x64

My Reciever is plugged in via an optical cable

The other two audio options are from my MB (Asus Rog Maximus V Formula)

Driver is a Windows 8.1 driver because Asus hasn't released any Windows 10 drivers yet.

 

Windows doesn't give me the option for 5.1 Surround Sound.

It's because ASUS haven't released drivers for Windows 10 yet. They're expecting this to take about 2-3 months from Win 10 RTM.

I advise you to check out the UNi Xonar Drivers. They are pretty compatible with Windows 10 (read: the best you get).

On my hand I'm waiting until ASUS releases their drivers before upgrading, but this should provide you with a close-to-perfect workaround until that time if you've already upgraded.

Make sure you unistall your ASUS Xonar control panel and drivers before installing this one.

 

I'm never gonna buy ASUS Multimedia products again, they never care about drivers, they never care to stay up to date, I've struggling with Beta drivers all time with Windows 8.1, and now my D2X not working at all with Windows 10

I'll crash it by a hammer and throw it in garbage. I guess I'll go back to Creative.

 

LOL, you may have to revert back to your onboard sound for now and wait until or if Asus ever releases Windows 10 certified drivers for your soundcard but I wouldn't count on it.

However, if you Google search you might find so modded drivers for your Xonar soundcard that works with Windows 10.

 

Exactly I did revert to my onboard sound, but I won't count on ASUS, at least Creative has an update chart for all there cards and it's time to go back to Creative *Party

 

For some strange reason i now have it working perfect including the cards control panel and effects. all i done was do an upgrade install of windows 10 instead of a fresh install and it has been perfect since*Smile

 

You can always try downloading the Windows 8.1 driver for the Xonar D2X and install the file after unzipping using compatibility mode on Windows 10: ASUS Canada

 

Tried the compatibility option but no luck, I keep getting the message "Don't support this platform" *Party

 

Wow you're lucky but I'm not going to reinstall everything again using 8.1 then upgrade after 2 days of installing my apps *Party I still prefer to throw it LOL

 

Hello. I've just completed a clean install of Windows 10 and the Xonar X2 Driver for Windows 8 (not 8.1) seems to work just fine. Hope this helps.

 

also Uni Xonar drivers work just fine on windows 10 i have asus xonar d2

 

wow I just tried that and it works, Thanks Neddy that was helping *cake
