Asus Xonar U7 MKII with Echelon driver?

Thumser
Level 7
Would it be possible to use Xonar U7 MKII with Echecon driver?

I really hate MKII driver with Sonic Studio, PUBG lags so hard because of that (especially mouse stutter).

But I want to use Sonic Radar.. it's one reason I bought MKII (I'm deaf from one ear).

If I try to use U7 Echelon driver (which has Sonic Radar too), I get error on installation that "Xonar_U7 is not detected".

I have W10 version 1709.. any ideas how to make Echelon driver work?
I googled hours and hours, but no luck.

Please use the driver intended for MKII. We will check to see if there is a driver issue. Is the issue present only when playing PUBG?
In the meantime, reinstall Windows in case any of the recent updates is causing an issue.

Can you be more specific about what you are experiencing? What exactly is the problem?
After some tests, no lag issues were found when testing with various mice.
What mouse are you using? System specs?
If you are using different PCs, what do they have in common?

These mouse lags look like freezes for 0.1-0.2 sec in random time. Browsing/gaming/etc... I will try to explain you more detail and even try to record a video, if you'll email me to eto.egor(@)ya.ru

Same problem here.
I thought mouse and sound stutter/ laggy caused by CPU performance before, but after close the Sonic Studio the stutter/ laggy all gone. Running normally.
(Open Sonic Studio, stutter/ laggy is back. )

I try to record the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfqQDIGlPs8
Obviously laggy at 0:08-0:14 and let me hard to click on my bookmarks.

My spec:
CPU Intel i5 3570K
16G RAM
Strix Raid DLX
Sonic Studio V1.1.18
Sound Card FW V1.03
Control Box FW V1.14
Windows 10 x64 1803 17134.191

This problem needs to be fixed.

All the same. This is difficult to explain, because these mouse lags are difficult to see on the video.

As I understood this problem causes nhAsusU7MKIISvc64.exe. When I close this process the problem is gone, but Sonic studio continues to work without problems (I have win 10 x64). Please say to devs about it. I think you should to remove nhAsusU7MKIISvc64 from the drivers

After installing Sonic Studio we have 3 running processes:
nhAsusU7MKIIUILauncher.exe
nhAsusU7MKIISvc32.exe
nhAsusU7MKIISvc64.exe - THIS process causes the lags! and it even doesn't work!

When I close nhAsusU7MKIISvc64.exe - EVERYTHING works fine and no lags.
When I close nhAsusU7MKIISvc32.exe - sonic studio works, but without effects at all. and no lags.

So... You just need to delete nhAsusU7MKIISvc64 from the driver

I use Strix Raid DLX so 3 processes are:
nhAsusStrixUILauncher.exe
nhAsusStrixSvc32.exe
nhAsusStrixSvc64.exe

Close nhAsusStrixSvc64.exe still can feel laggy for me.
