Hello
I have a problem with my ASUS XONAR DX sound card, at least that is where I think the problems lies.

Anyway it is a PCI Express card, so I can hear a click from the card during boot, That is when the external power supply kicks in (I guess). But in demanding games or as I just have learned, when running PhysX FluidMark. I hear the click again and the sound is gone, and do not come back before I boot. Also after the "click" videos in Windows media player goes to half the speed, and there is of cause still no sound in them.

I have the newest drivers BIOS, Video, sound, Directx and a full updated win 7 64bit. I have made a clean new installation of windows, nothing helps. No answer from ASUS support. So please help, since I have used all my limited knowledge in this matter.
 
Solution
From what I read a while back, the bridge chip was the cause of some incompatabilites in nforce chipsets. I ASSUME thats the problem, but the only way to know for sure would be to either try a D1 (which is PCI native) or try on a non-nforce based chipset.

If you could get ahold of ASUS (keep trying; no company likes a lot of negative attention on their boards, just don't go overboard), try RMA'ing in favor of the D1 (heck, you could try pleading to a D2...)
