hi everybody
 
yesterday my xonar DG started to have a very low hissing sound in headphone mode.
if i disable all sounds in windows and in the xonar audio center the noise still continues
if i put the analog output in anything thats isn't headphone mode, it works perfectly, but if i change to headphone mode the hssing sound comes back
 
i disabled GX mode, disabled onboard audio in BIOS, used drive sweeper, reinstalled my xonar drive again and the problem still continues
 
does someone have and ideia of what could it be?
 
is my soundcard defective?
 
thanks

Sorry, this reply isn't related to the hissing sound... but have you ever heard this sound when switching between songs in itunes with your card: http://www.head-fi.org/t/605513/asus-xonar-dg-clicking-sounds#post_8308630
 
Thanks

Also, just out of curiosity, how close is your PSU to your sound card? Did anything change in your hardware setup? Sounds like some type of electric interference??

my PSU its in the top of the case and the xonar in the bottom
its an corsair HX1000
 
its like a continuous whistle, but very very low

If the problem did not occur before, did you change anything in the system recently ?

no, i didnt change
 
the card worked perfectly fine only about 1 day
than suddenly i was watching a movie and after i finished it i noticed the problem
i think that my card is broken

Not using Subversion / SVN

SVN = Smart Volume Normalizer in this particular case.

Try installing the third party software from Bitbrain "Xonar Unified Drivers".

Most likely a faulty card. Send it in for a replacement.

I have this same problem, noticed this couple months ago.. My card is almost 1.5 year old. New DGX comes tomorrow so I will report my findings

 

[Tuny]

i have tried the uni xonar drivers but the problem persists
 
i think its an defective card, but i cant send it to RMA since in the country i live i would have to pay more in the shipment than in the price of a new card

Have you tried front headphone mode? Just tried front headphone mode and almost no difference against front speakers (FP 2 speakers).. Of course front jacket have a very low static noise

 

[MaddmattH]

Tuny, are you plugging your headphones into the card itself or a front jack?
 
I notice crackling when I use my front jack, nothing to do with the card though because it does the same when connected to onboard sound. Just a crappy front jack, wiring problem or something.
