Asus Xonar U7 problems

Replaced my essence ST with the U7 and i have some problems.

The asio driver does not seem to work, i have xonar u7 asio set in foobar2k and the eq bars are moving but nothing gets outputed. Only Direct sound works. Used to work fine with the ST.

I have the thing connected via coax spdif to my dac, which then goes to my amp / speakers. With asio my dac would automatically switch to the correct khz setting the specific track was recorded at.

Using it via wasapi now but would prefer ASIO.


Also, at random times, when i stop playback a crackling sound remains in my speakers, repeting itself over and over. I have to switch the dac off/on or play something else to get rid of it. But it does not do that all the time, now it remains silent after stopping playback for example.

Weird, was not expecting so much trouble with this unit considering the essence worked perfect from day 1.

I have tried every driver avail, currently running the latest one.

Noise goes off when i turn off/on the dac at the end.

Also, if you leave it long enough it will eventually dissapear (15+ mins though).
 
Damn... and that sonic studio shit they are using for it does not want to keep volume settings unless i keep it alt tabbed in the task bar. Have to adjust every fkn time i start up windows, very annoying.

The ST was a gem regarding fiability and stuff simply working on it. At least the sound is not different but i only need the coax out from it as my DAC handles everything else.

Too bad they don't make mobo's with a coaxial spdif output on the back, they only put that plastiky optical spdif on them. There was the gigabyte g1 sniper z87 that had a coax on it but they don't make it anymore and they removed it from the z97/x99 gayming version for some reason. Meh
