Since you have a separate sound card, do you have the Integrated (on the motherboard) audio disbled in the BIOS? If not, that can conflict with the sound card.

(I have a PC that I recently built using an ASRock Z77 Professional (Fatal1ty) motherboard. It's a "utility" PC and not my prime recording studio PC but works well. It has an i5 3550 CPU).

Do you have the latest Creative Xfi drivers? that would be the next step. As I mentioned originally drivers are usually the cause of these types of problems.

I assume this is your sound card and here is the driver downloads. The driver is relatively old (2010) so it may be the one you have. If it is the same, reinstall it anyway over the existing drivers. Usually, Creative issues more driver updates but for this model its just the older driver. Creative Worldwide Support > Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional Series

The link I posted has the identical driver as the link you posted. That is common with Creative, the driver can cover many different models.

I wonder if its some other device or something in Windows startup that is randomly causing the problem? The sound is on a shared Interrupt (IRQ) with another device. The other device is higher priority and thus can interrupt the sound. That is another area to look at, and see what the other device is.

Sound dissapears on sytem startup (SSD related)

My Xtreme Music started doing the same thing about a month ago. Easiest solution I have seen so far without going back to onboard (sucks) or getting a new card, is to go into Device Manager and uninstall it from there and then scan for hardware changes to "re-install" the driver (also no restart required this way).
