xonar d2x sound card loud buzzing noise problem

Ok. Just curious, why does the graphic driver needs to be reinstall? Also could u emphasize on disabling sound in bios. And should I download directx 9.0c now? Thanks for the help!

Oops double post.

I have the same sound card and I get this problem after a clean install but "usually" not always it's only a problem when trying to use Silverlight.

To fix the problem, open up the Xonar UI and go to the DSP mode switches, try messing with the different DSP modes until the problem is fixed.

You can see the DSP mode buttons lower right on the Xonar UI, the picture might help.

I can't recall exactly which DSP button made a difference but just pushing different ones fixed the problem straight away.

This is the only thing that worked for me.

How did u know its an issue with silverlight? I tried messing around with the different modes and it worked randomly (sometimes it works with only PCM 48kHz and 7.1 virtual setting). Seems like I have to on the audio center every time. But then again I need to solve the blue screen on updating the driver. I did a scan and there're some errors with my system. I'll post them tomorrow cos I really need to sleep now. Many thanks chev65!

I knew it was an issue Silverlight because I have the same Xonar D2 and the problem seemed confined to Silverlight. This occurs every time I reinstall the OP system so I had a very good idea of what the problem might be.

You may also need to go into the sound setting in the control panel, click on speakers, then to configure, if it's not already on Stereo you should put it there and let the Asus drivers handle the 5.1. You might also want to check out "Levels" in speaker properties to ensure that it's set in the middle for balance.

I set the Asus panel to use 5.1, put a check mark on PCM, and another on
Dolby digital like in the picture I posted, for best sound quality.

The DSP mode buttons should definitely take care of the sound problem with Silverlight.

Good luck with those system errors what ever they might be. :)

Come to think of it, the this problem started after I updated the latest version of Adobe shockwave player. Could there be conflict?

Checking the dolby digital live & DTS Interactive doesn't give any sound. Spdf loopback also gives the buzzing sound. PCM most of the time gives the buzz too. My best bet is too switch between checking and unchecking dolby digital & sometimes between 5.1 and 2 speakers to cancel out the buzz. This method is kinda troublesome.







Need help on these.

Aha

I have a D2 - but refused to ever load silverlight on my pc's and never had this problem

Get rid of it unless you are forced to use it on MS sites - I never needed it to run anything at any time!

Glad you knew what it was!

errrr
reloading your graphic driver package also reloads a ton of other drivers including sound related stuff - ok

If another recently loaded prog has loaded on a slightly different driver and overwrote original - you could get a problem

errors with system?
- yet you said "brand new install of OS win7" - now you tell us

repair system how to
SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

I got all these errors after trying to update my xonar sound card to the latest version I got from asus site. During installation it crash with the blue screen. After restart, I got the Marvell 91xx config ata device yellow triangle saying the driver isn't installed. Of all those out-of -dates, I know I didn't update the nvidia graphic and audio driver. I'm afraid the audio will conflict with my xonar.

Silverlight doesn't cause the problem, it's only a symptom of the problem which was using the incorrect sound effect. Your comment to recommend not using Silverlight is wrong on so many levels.

Silverlight works fine on my system and it causes absolutely zero problems. The Nvidia graphics drivers have absolutely nothing to do with this problem.

The fact that sfc/scannow is showing errors is the problem here. Until that problem is fixed nothing will be working right.
