Well, this was my first switch to an ASUS soundcard from 10+ years of using Creative, and although the Xonar Phoebus's HW is top notch, the SW leaves so much to be desired and is unnecessarily...

From what I have seen so far, Creative's driver support is actually better than ASUS, and that is pretty bad. I am actually thinking of switching back to Creative with their new cards coming out in...

Have you tried starting the game with 5.1 set in windows, selecting 5.1 in the game, going into the actual game, and then plugging in the headphones? I used to have to do this to trick most games...

Thanks Raja, sent email as follows:

Hello, I have a couple of feature requests for upcoming Xonar Phoebus driver updates if possible:

1. Please consider an option of allowing the SW/card to...

Raja, the problem with the above is that I have no idea what the original source was recorded at 99% of the time i.e. for games I play. I don't think that information is usually released with the...

Raja, I requested this a long time ago, I just want to make sure you captured/forwarded it. I would like for the breakout box volume control knob to work in external speaker mode as well as just for...

You just need to turn off the environmental effects. I had that happen also until I unchecked the box.

You guys can check out the review of BF3 performance with this card and the new beta driver in the hardocp.com website. Looks like it is successful in fixing the BF3 issues.

Now we just need to...

Diablo 3 works 100% fine with my card. Diablo doesn't use Punkbuster.

No, but it is a v2.1 card whatever that means...








Just kidding! Wanted to see if I could push you over the edge into the heart attack.:cool:

Seriously, please get some therapy before you have a heart attack or stroke with all that anger. My card works 100% fine.

I am a miracle worker as well then, mine works flawlessly with Skyrim and Diablo 3, but as what tboo72 said, I don't use Punkbuster. So I woudl hardly say they need to recall the card due to a...

Would it be possible to add a box to "Play at original sampling rate". Is it possible for the driver to detect what the original sampling rate and bit depth was and just use that?

I lucked out then, TheGovernment. My system is very close to your second system! :D
That might explain why I haven't had any problems with this card.

I also do not have any issue with Diablo 3 and this card. In fact, it sounds amazing. No issues with Skyrim as well. Although I have BF3, I have not tried it, and given the feedback from everyone, I...

I would suggest three things:

1. Turn off the Environmental Effects under the speaker settings as this can cause sound to come out of unexpected speakers since it is trying to create a virtual...

I am using Bose Quiet Comfort 15 headphones and do not have any hissing when plugging into the Control Breakout box. I have the Headphones settings at "Normal Gain". Have you tried plugging into the...

Currently the control breakout box only controls the volume of headphones (if plugged in). It would be very useful for it to also control the master volume of the soundcard when using speakers. That...

Red light on is muted. I actually just hit the mute button from within the SW and the light came on.

Ok, not trying to nitpick here, but I think there is a problem with how to set up a 5.1 audio system in the manual. Either that, or it is a bug in the SW. On page 15 of the manual, it says to use...

Sorry, another question. Red light on the control box. When it is lit, does that mean it is muted, or unmuted?

This has to be the most complicated sound card I have owned. What are the disadvantages / advantages of cranking the sample rate to 192 Khz and 24 Bits vs lower settings? I am mainly using the sound...

FYI, they had 17 available at the start of the week. So I would not wait too long.

You don't need a big reseller, you just need a reputible company.

Excaliberpc shipped it same day to me without any price gouging. I got tired of waiting on Amazon. Great customer service. The...

Well, at least you took a thorough troubleshooting approach. :D

I am sure there are going to be a few bugs that make it past QA since there is no way they can test all possible SW combinations....
