hey guys, I currently have an x-fi xtremegamer soundcard in my main rig, but lately its been acting weird(i heard a loud pop and teh sound went all wonky, I re-started and it sounds sort of ok) Its 3 yrs old, and lately I have seen a ton of refurbed xgamers available. Is it dying slowly?

Does anyone here have any experience with the Asus Xonar Dx or D1?
 
Sounds like it could be a software issue, I/O problems can make sound cards make weird sounds. In my experience slow death of solid state components is rare, but not unheard of.

As to the Xonars, the DX is a pretty solid card for the price, I've deployed a couple and the sound quality and feature set is quite good for what they cost. The D1 I believe is quite similar, but in PCI instead of PCIe.
 
Check your ground. First thing to check is your hdd. Make sure it properly mounted.
 
An improperly mounted hard drive will cause a loud pop and wonky sound? Where do you get this stuff?
