So I got this new Soundcard and it was working fine up until an hour ago. I checked the divers and they're all up to date. System specs are in the pictures attached.

Hello and welcome Nekodev mate just how did you check the driver status - if it was the Windows feature then I for one think it really is a pretty sad check.

Now it is always best to update the driver for a component direct from the manufacturers site however you have chosen what I consider one of the most convoluted and disorganised site of component makers of I have ever come across. I have tried this site before on several occasions to get drivers for members and have come up with not much at all.

I think it best if you can contact them direct to be honest. This is the Aussie contact you of course will need the local one Contact Us - Creative Store (AU)

Now just as an afterthought because the device was working I would just try disabling the AV and see if it makes any difference. If it does as it can from time to time then it might mean you contact them for advice on your problem.
