Hi everyone, Im having a major problem with my xonar ds i recently bought. Asus support was completely useless so im hoping to get some advice hear.
Windows 7 64 bit recognises my Xonar DS as "Multimedia Audio Contoller" and simply cannot get the Asus Xonar drivers to install. I get a "Please plug in your asus xonar ds device" upon setup.
First of all ive done all the basics, removed all previous sound drivers then disabled the onboard sound in bios. I have the latest bios version along with latest driver software for all my hardware. Ive tried manually installing the drivers which then recognises the xonar ds but does NOT work due to a "Failure to start" in the device status section. Ive also tried swapping PCI slots, cleaning the pins on the card and clearing CMOS. Ive tried different settings in the bios such as plug and play OS disabled/enabled. One thing i have noticed is the Hardware ID value is:
PCI\VEN_13F6&DEV_0788&SUBSYS_038E1043&REV_00
PCI\VEN_13F6&DEV_0788&SUBSYS_038E1043
On other help websites ive found that the ACTUAL ID value is meant to be:
PCI\VEN_13F6&DEV_8788&SUBSYS_838E1043
PCI\VEN_13F6&DEV_8788&SUBSYS_838E1043
I then tried to edit the driver ini file with 1st set of hardware ids which got the driver setup to completely install but the soundcard still did not work. Ive even formatted and reinstalled Win7.
The soundcard works in the other 2 PCs just fine.
I would be grateful to have some more suggestions as im very close to burning the sound card
