    RELEASE NOTES

    Release notes 1.81a

    Driver for all supported cards. Includes 1825 audio drivers for Windows 10. Unlike previous releases, the 1825 audio driver will only work in Windows 10.

    • Windows 10: Updated audio driver to 1825 (built date: 22 ‎June ‎2016, made by C-Media).
    • Updated C-Media Panel.
    • Replaced C-Media driver uninstaller with UNi Xonar driver cleaner.
    • Added support for STXII cards in Asus Audio Center, cards will be detected as STX by Asus Audio Center but feature wise almost everything should be there.
    • 1825 audio drivers have an issue when the audio card is uninstalled, disabled or the drivers are overwritten, resulting in a system crash. In order to avoid the uninstall system crash I’ve come up with a workaround that’s presented below
    • Asus Audio Center: GX button is no longer showing. It has to do with 1825 audio drivers and there may be a reason why C-Media removed it. I’m not sure if it’s worth it to bring the GX on/off control back.
    • STX II: Asus Audio Center is missing the gain 16/32 ohms for headset.

    Possible issues:

    • STX II: XonarSwitch might not work. Need more feedback on this.
    • Audio playback through headphones and SPDIF at the same time isn’t possible anymore. Original
    • DSX & probably other cards: DTS Connect with 5.1 speakers does not work. Original report. Need more confirmations.
    • There are reports that the sound quality of these audio drivers is different. RightMarkAudio tests that I’ve made didn’t show any significant differences between v1.81a and v1.80a.
    • The 1825 audio driver may have higher DPC latency than previous drivers. Original report. The tests that I’ve made didn’t show any difference in DPC Latency between v1.81a, v1.80a and v1.80b drivers. Maybe it has to do with the settings that are being used. My test where done with 2.0 analog output.

    How to uninstall 1825 v1.81 drivers : In order to avoid a system crash while uninstalling 1825 drivers you will need to play an audio file before proceeding with the uninstall process. Restart system after the uninstall process is done.

    Release notes 1.80

    UNi Xonar installer changes:

    • Added DPI interface scaling to the installer.
    • Added card autodetection and if the audio card is not detected it will show an error message with possible reasons for that.
    • Improved driver cleaning. It uninstalls all copies of the Xonar/C-media CMI8788 drivers that are present in the Windows driver repository. By installing drivers with “Run driver cleaning” option you won’t be able to use “Roll Back Driver” option for the audio card in Device Manager.
    • Changed the driver installation procedure. Added a fail safe driver installer that should help in those cases where you were required to manually install the audio driver or install it in safe mode. Silent installation is always on and its user option has been removed. If standard driver installation gets stuck (does not finish after 100 sec) it is automatically closed. If standard driver installer fails to install the drivers then an alternate driver installer is launched. If that fails too, you will get notified by the installer that driver installation failed.
    • Windows XP: Added support for other CMI8788 cards.
    • Xonar DG, DGX, DG SI: Front Panel jack detection should now work if it did with the original drivers.
    • Fixed GX not being turned off by default in “Normal” configuration for the following cards Xonar D2, D2X, DG, DGX and DG SI.
    • Improved and fixed some problems with the new driver installation procedure.
    • Added different messages based on why installation failed.
    • Fixed “Front Panel Microphone” not working by default.
    • Increased the delay between driver cleaning and driver installation procedures. Might help in some installation failing cases.
    • Fixed the “Warning: Windows running in Test Mode or with Disable Driver Signature Enforcement is required!” message not showing up if needed in combination with the detected audio card.

    The 1.80 drivers come in two variants:

    • 1.80a “Standard”

    Driver for all supported cards. Replacement for 1.75a driver. Includes 1816 audio drivers for Win XP and 1823 audio drivers for Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10.

    • Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10: Updated audio driver to 1823 (built date: 2 Jun 2015, made by C-Media).
    • 1823 audio drivers are the first drivers released for Windows 10 by ASUS/C-Media. Whether they perform any better than 1822 or STXII 11.5 drivers remains to be seen.
    • Xonar STX II cards: Drivers work with STXII cards but the changing audio settings may not work with ASUS Audio Center and only with C-Media Panel. Installation on Windows Vista/7/8.1/10 x64 requires Windows running in option.
    • STXII: Asus Audio Center does not work. You need to download this patched version and copy paste it over “C:\Program Files\UNi Xonar Audio\Customapp\”.

    Possible issues:

    • Microphone stops working if running specific programs. If you run into this issue please report it in a reply to the original report . If you run into the issue you can switch to v1.75a drivers or connect the microphone to the onboard audio card microphone input.
    • WASAPI playback issues might occur with some soundcards
    • Occasionally when waking PC up from sleep the Xonar card does not output any sound.
    • Drivers might stop installing on Windows 10. Try 1.75a, 1.80b or 1.81a instead.
    • Windows 10 Creators Update: Windows would not boot after these drivers where installed. If you run into this problem you have to boot Windows in Safe Mode and remove the audio drivers. Original report . I could not reproduce the issue.
    • 1.80b “STXII”

    Driver maily for STX II and STX II 7.1 cards. It does work for the other UNi Xonar supported cards too. Replacement for 1.75b driver. Includes STX II version 11.5 audio drivers (built date: 18 Feb 2014, made by C-Media).

    • Includes updated ASIO (2.0.0.14), driver installer, ASUS Audio Center and C-Media Panel.
    • Windows XP: Drivers now work for all UNi Xonar supported cards. These were not working with 1.75b drivers.
    • Cards other than STX II: Installation on Windows Vista/7/8.1/10 x64 requires Windows running in Test Mode or with “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement” option.
    • Fixed “Asus Audio Center” not working properly and getting replaced by C-Media Panel when installing with “Normal – Asus Audio Center” configuration.
    • Fixed some installation issues when drivers were installed on STXII cards (like missing driver uninstall entry in Programs and Features, incorrect C-media panel name).
    • Fixed a bug where optimal card configuration was not being applied if the drivers were installed without the “Re-enable stereo upmix” option.

    Possible issues:

    • Microphone stops working occasionally or when changing audio playback settings (DS->WASAPI). If you run into this issue please report it in a reply to this comment. If you frequently run into the issue you could try v1.75a drivers if possible or connect the microphone to the onboard audio card microphone input.

    Notes about Windows 10 compatibility (updated 13 May 2018)

    UNi Xonar drivers v1.64 and above will work with Windows 10. There could be some issues that you could run into depending on audio settings used. Different drivers could work differently so if you encounter any issues try installing the other UNi Xonar versions.

    Apart from driver issues, there could be issues solely from Windows 10 sound system that would be fixed with future Windows updates. There is also a small chance that some things could break with future Windows updates.

    Windows 10 (multiple versions) possible issues and fixes:
    • (thanks Shane)
    • (thanks Chris Leipold)
    • Popping and cracking sounds – If you have a AMD graphics card, try disabling AMD High Definition Audio Device from Device Manager. Possible to try the same steps for Nvidia HD Audio Device for Nvidia cards. (thanks Marc)
    • BSOD’s after system wakeup from sleep – Try UNi Xonar v1.71.1 driver. (thanks Kalle)
    Windows 10 version 1809 (October 2018 Update) notes

    Before upgrading to 1809, you should uninstall the UNi Xonar drivers especially if you have v1.81a installed, as the update process might result in BSOD (). As a reminder, in order to avoid a system crash while uninstalling 1825 (v1.81a) drivers you will need to play an audio file before proceeding with the uninstall process. Restart the system after the uninstall process is done.

    • Crashes at boot or after walking PC from sleep or hibernation ()
    • Audio stops working after some time ()
    • Inability to change the number of audio channels to other than 2 channels when using S/PDIF output if you have Speakers disabled in Windows Sound -> Playback ().
    Windows 10 version 1803 (April 2018 Update) notes (updated 13 May 2018)

    Our community member Chris Leipold reports that the wake up from sleep BSOD, settings reset and not working audio server process at startup issues that where introduced with Fall Creators Update are fixed with Red Stone 4 preview (pre 1803 release).

    Possible issues and fixes:

    • Microphone not working – Check . (thanks Shane)
    • Audio crashes – If you have “Dolby Atmos for Headphone” app installed you should remove it and replace it with the updated “Dolby Access” app in order to avoid audiosvr process stack overflow errors that are crashing the audio subsystem. (thanks Chris Leipold)

    Possible issues reported so far:

    • Settings (Bit-depth, sample rate, number of channels) reset bug when clicking the volume after restart might still happen ()
    • Windows might freeze when installing Xonar drivers ()
    • Microphone might not work even after doing the ()
    • S/DPIF output might not work at least for some with Xonar DG cards ()
    Windows 10 version 1709 (Fall Creators Update) notes (updated 13 May 2018)

    Reported issues so far:

    • Drivers above 1821 v1.71 may cause BSOD when waking system from sleep ( , ). It’s unclear if it is a driver issue or a Windows issue that’s triggered in specific conditions that are met when using drivers above 1821 v1.71. Since ASUS/C-media driver support is pretty much dead and most people didn’t have this issue until Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, people having this issue should contact Microsoft support and submit their crash dumps.

    Notes about Windows 10 compatibility (updated 13 May 2018)

    UNi Xonar drivers v1.64 and above will work with Windows 10. There could be some issues that you could run into depending on audio settings used. Different drivers could work differently so if you encounter any issues try installing the other UNi Xonar versions.

    Apart from driver issues, there could be issues solely from Windows 10 sound system that would be fixed with future Windows updates. There is also a small chance that some things could break with future Windows updates.

    Windows 10 (multiple versions) possible issues and fixes:
    • this guide . (thanks Shane)
    • (thanks Chris Leipold)
    • Popping and cracking sounds – If you have a AMD graphics card, try disabling AMD High Definition Audio Device from Device Manager. Possible to try the same steps for Nvidia HD Audio Device for Nvidia cards. (thanks Marc)
    • BSOD’s after system wakeup from sleep – Try UNi Xonar v1.71.1 driver. (thanks Kalle)
    Windows 10 version 1809 (October 2018 Update) notes

    Before upgrading to 1809, you should uninstall the UNi Xonar drivers especially if you have v1.81a installed, as the update process might result in BSOD (). As a reminder, in order to avoid a system crash while uninstalling 1825 (v1.81a) drivers you will need to play an audio file before proceeding with the uninstall process. Restart the system after the uninstall process is done.

    • Crashes at boot or after walking PC from sleep or hibernation ()
    • Audio stops working after some time ()
    • Inability to change the number of audio channels to other than 2 channels when using S/PDIF output if you have Speakers disabled in Windows Sound -> Playback ().
    Windows 10 version 1803 (April 2018 Update) notes (updated 13 May 2018)

    Our community member Chris Leipold reports that the wake up from sleep BSOD, settings reset and not working audio server process at startup issues that where introduced with Fall Creators Update are fixed with Red Stone 4 preview (pre 1803 release).

    Possible issues and fixes:

    • Microphone not working – Check this guide . (thanks Shane)
    • Audio crashes – If you have “Dolby Atmos for Headphone” app installed you should remove it and replace it with the updated “Dolby Access” app in order to avoid audiosvr process stack overflow errors that are crashing the audio subsystem. (thanks Chris Leipold)

    Possible issues reported so far:

    • Settings (Bit-depth, sample rate, number of channels) reset bug when clicking the volume after restart might still happen ()
    • Windows might freeze when installing Xonar drivers ()
    • Microphone might not work even after doing the microsoft privacy toggle fix ()
    • S/DPIF output might not work at least for some with Xonar DG cards ()
    Windows 10 version 1709 (Fall Creators Update) notes (updated 13 May 2018)

    Reported issues so far:

    • Drivers above 1821 v1.71 may cause BSOD when waking system from sleep ( , , ). It’s unclear if it is a driver issue or a Windows issue that’s triggered in specific conditions that are met when using drivers above 1821 v1.71. Since ASUS/C-media driver support is pretty much dead and most people didn’t have this issue until Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, people having this issue should contact Microsoft support and submit their crash dumps.
