So a half year later since I bought this card, nothing changed really... The drivers suck monkey b*lls, especially on Windows 8.
The following problems are those which I find the most annoying;
Game Crashes
Incompatible Games
Controller volume knob buggs (sound hangs and if you turn the volume up using the knob, the volume goes up and down randomly
Sample rate on 192khz just doesn't work well, pitch changes, sound pops in background applications like youtube
Sometimes the audio is a low volume when changing from headphones to speakers even though it's on max volume
Xear Surround sounds really awfull, and it locks the sample rate to 48khz.
Dolby Home Theater v4 Volume leveling is sometimes really annoying (I think this is on Dolby)
DTS is buggy as hell, it's like that the surround effect is only coming from the left side.
Okay, Raja@ASUS, let me clarify the 192khz part, if you start a game in 192khz, the sound on iTunes or Youtube starts popping, just like the game sound itself. Though you can close the background apps and restart the game (then you won't have popping sounds), you still have a different pitch when your graphics card starts working (like in SimCity) it's so annoying that I just go back to 44.1 khz.
And the worst of all:
Microphone Noise... Damn... even though this card doesn't use anything from the motherboard its power, I still get an anoying noise.
If the drivers were well-made, I would be glad that I've bought this product, but... I'm very dissapointed at the moment and would be glad if ASUS would make a trade offer or gave me my money back.
So guys, what do you think?
