Asus Strix Raid Pro control box

I have a Strix Raid Pro soundcard that uses the external control for volume and switching between headphones and speakers.
It has the latest driver and just recently fails to initialise properly and startup. It goes through the the two light patterns but just sits with every other light on. I can get it to work by either restarting the PC or exiting the Sonic Studio and starting it up again.
I've tracked the problem and found it's nhAsusStrixSvc32 causing an error and failing to run.
I hope someone from support can offer some advice, I've provided the event viewer info as below.

Nolonger get the error but the card isn't detected, doesnt show in Windows until I exit Sonic Studio from the system tray, wait a minute and then run a shortcut using "C:\Program Files\ASUSTeKcomputer.Inc\nhAsusStrix\UserInterface\nhAsusStrixUILauncher.exe" /noui

So something is delaying the card starting up.
Does Asus support actually exist?

They released the new drivers 1.1.22 to fix the licence problem.
Now you can uninstall, reinstall to your hearts content without any problems, great but the control box still wont work.
The card still isnt detected, nhAsusStrixSvc32.exe does not startup, although strix soundcard shows in the system tray the only way to get it to work is to exit it from the system tray and run nhAsusStrixUILauncher.exe appx 3 minutes after exiting it.

I'm absolutely fed up with this to the point of ditching the card and using my onboard sound or buying a creative card.

I think the next thing to do is to find every site that is selling this card and give a review warning people not to buy it
