I have a very strange problem - my sound card, an Asus Xonar DGX, is crashing my system.
Card in, system boots, runs smoothly for ~15 seconds, then the output freezes and after a minute or two the system shuts down.
Card out, the system runs fine.
Now, this started about 20 minutes ago - I heard a pop in my headphones, then a continuous hissing and crackling. I confirmed that it was not my headphone dying by testing it on my phone and the sound was fine. I shut down the system and removed the card, and then installed the on-board audio drivers so I could still use my headset.
Here's another issue I've been having - while plugged into my motherboard audio, my headset makes a clicking noise every few seconds and the audio is horribly distorted. My headset is an Audio Technica A900X, and its impedance isn't very high, so my on-board audio shouldn't have issues powering it.
I recently upgraded my gpu to a GTX 970, but I don't see why that would cause issues with my sound card.
Any help would be appreciated.
