#ASUS XONAR DGX DRIVERS WINDOWS 10 DRIVER#

Of course that couldn’t last, and Creative’s Windows 8 drivers are once again defective: they don’t save settings between reboots. On Windows 7, I had been using an ancient Creative Labs X-Fi XtremeMusic (it’s really spelled like that, sorry) which produced great sound and even had working drivers.

Nor does the driver support virtual surround sound, which I consider a must-have for headphones. There’s no noise and the output may be strong enough for low-end headphones, but I had to crank up the volume to get any decent loudness from my Sennheiser HD 380 Pro, and even then the sound was flat and indistinct. Unfortunately, despite its impressive-sounding specifications, this cheap integrated solution just plain doesn’t sound very good. The MSI X58 Pro-E comes with an integrated Realtek ALC889 audio codec, and Windows 8 provides full driver support out of the box. Intel’s Chipset Device Software has already been updated for Windows 8 and replaces a few system files, although I couldn’t tell any difference.

My AMD HD 6970 graphics card works nicely with AMD’s Windows 8 drivers, too. Every operating system upgrade involves the popular guessing game, “I wonder which drivers will break this time?” I’m happy to report that my MSI X58 Pro-E motherboard is generally well-supported by Microsoft’s built-in drivers.
