Hello ROG members!

Thank you for having me.

I recently bought a sound card to boost the sound on my qpad qh-1339 headphones as the onboard audio on the Asus Maximus Hero XI z390 was not near enough.

I love the sound and power the soundcard produces. But im having a kinda hard time because everytime i reboot or doing a cold boot , the sonic studios under output devices is "grey'd out" . I have to manually go from headset to speakers and from speakers back to headphones for the adjustments / options to re-appear. ( this also happends if i close the software program and opens it up again ) Like it doesnt remember my settings at all when it comes to the output device.

also , if i dont do it my mic and sound settings is default. and i always need to adjust settings again. Pain in the A**.

I really hope this is just a dumb minor issue that can be resolved easily.
