Apparently the Asus Xonar DGX is EOL (End Of Line), which is a shame, since it's still a perfectly good sound card, and last time I checked it was still for sale in some stores. Asus also still has the broken Windows 10 drivers listed for download on their website. Unboxing, Install and software walk through of the Asus Xonar DG sound card. I was originally supposed to have a voice over but didn't end up recording one. Hope you still enjoy the video. ASUS Xonar DGX 1 1. Introduction 1.1 Package contents. ASUS Xonar DGX PCIE audio card.

I have an Asus motherboard with an AMD Phenom quad core processor that ran Windows 7 Home. The on board Via sound chip was good enough I ran the line out to the Aux in on an old Yamaha FX-495 Receiver that was gathering dust in a closet. I connected some early Bose satellite speakers and subwoofer to the receiver and got decent sound. I used the software equalizer and bass boost to improve the output, but it was still a computer output. When I upgraded to Windows 10 the sound enhancements for the chip were not compatible with Windows 10 and the sound quality went south. Via's newer drivers did not solve the problem. I studied the idea of disabling the on board sound and adding a PCI sound card to an expansion slot. I was going to buy a $35 ASUS Xonar PGI PCIe card until several contributors to ASUS forums mentioned the ASUS Xonar DG card would give comparable sound quality, use a PCI slot, and cost less. I noticed I could get the Xonar DG card on an open box special for $15 with free shipping and ordered it from Amazon. I disabled the on board sound chip in Bios and deleted the Via drivers and software completely. I downloaded the latest driver for the card from the ASUS support site. I installed the card and booted up. When windows recognized new hardware I clicked that I had the drivers I wanted rather than let Windows 10 load whatever it might load. I browsed to my download folder and clicked on the Asus driver and let their setup program install the drivers and software. The installation went without a hitch and as soon as I configured my speakers as the default sound output I had sound with no problems at all. I clicked on a YouTube video and found myself cranking up the volume and enjoying much better sound quality and much better bass than I ever had with the on board sound. I opened the Xonar DG Audio Center and customized the settings, selected for two speakers/large, matched the bass crossover frequency to match the Bose crossover and set the speakers as 'large' even though they are satellite speakers. I played some Springsteen and then some Metallica and can say without hesitation that this card gives me bass again and the Bose speakers sound nearly as good hooked up to this computer as they did years ago hooked up to a CD player. This was the sound I had wanted out of the computer from the start..and I finally got what I wanted for fifteen dollars. That is a bargain that cannot be denied. The sound quality is excellent I have everything from deep bass to the tweeters, the THD is minimal and I can crank up the volume and listen to the music without grumbling over fidelity. Hey. This is an under-thirty-dollar sound card and it plugged right in, worked with Windows 10, and gave me full sound and great fidelity. I give it five stars for the quality at the price point. The front headphone jack is the card's default output. The headphone jack has its own on-card amplifier. The sound in an old pair of KOSS headphones was great. The card is supposed to switch automatically to line out when you have an empty headphone jack; it does not. The software has a two click setting that resets the output to line out with no problem. This problem is so minor to me compared to the enhanced quality of the sound and the improved bass I'd live with it anyway. I had to tinker with the sound chip all the time in Windows 10 anyway so this new card is probably less of a hassle to use than the on board chip was. I might buy an even better sound card if I was going to plug the line out from this computer to my primary home sound system, but I might not need a better sound card than this one if I did. The price is right (and buying the open box option even better) and I am finally happy with the fidelity and quality of the sound from my computer. If you are needing better sound than your on board sound chip provides and have a PCI slot open this might be your best bang for the buck. I could not be more pleased.
