Sound Card Question

[sourfacedcyclop]

So, I bought a Asus Xonar DX, got everything plugged in and such but when I pause and then unpause audio, I head a loud popping coming out of my speakers or headphones before the audio continues. Is this normal? I just want to make sure it's not going to blow up or something.

Is this with any media player/file?

if it does then your card might be faulty mine did this using itunes but it was fine when i used foobar 2000 also sometimes streaming videos would cause this but only on some of them

Didn't work.

It seems to happen everytime there is a abrupt change in sound

Its because when you restart the audio your pretty much playing a sound with 0ms attack at the begining. Which sounds like a click (same with a release). Which is why all the synths I program never have a 0ms attack/release or their "clicky".

So it's normal? I just want to make sure I didn't manage to mess something up when I installed it.

I've never had this card so I can't say exactly, but its pretty typical of sound things. Your new card might have a quicker response time than the one before it.

I have Xonar D1 (the only difference from DX, I think, is the PCI/PCIE Slot) but this sound is quite small or even not annoying for me. Have you ever tried to reinstall the OS cause from my experience some unnormal softwares might cause this issue.

Fixed the problem, moved card to different slot, the video card was causing interference. I'm an idiot. Thanks to all those who helped.
