I regret the day I bought this piece of shit for 250$, Asus can't write drivers.
Now on to the issue, a few days ago I turned the PC on and there was a big red X on the 'Speakers' icon, lower right, couldnt reinstall the driver because the audio card was not found and couldnt find any error regarding the audio card.
I checked it and it seemed to be ok as its LEDS are turned on, so the card isnt dead.
I fixed the issue by restarting the pc 2-3 times and after that I reinstalled W7 X64 and played BF3 for about 1 hour and went to bed, after I woke, the same fucking issue again, and I fixed it with several restarts.
Any idea why could be causing this ?

1. You haven't disabled the onboard HD-sound
2. Your Graphic cards' HD-audio is making life difficult for your Xonar.
3. No idea.

I always uncheck the install of HD AUDIO in the nVidia installer.
There's something else, I got my TV connected in the second DVI slot, and when I changed to the TV, I had no more that X on the Speakers but after clicking on it the TV ICON was there.

Try actually disabeling the hardware since it might be on.
Check your gfx card and take a look at what PCI bus it's using then check with all the HD audio controllers in system devices to find out which one if from the GFX card. Then just disable the fucker...  |

Hah well they're mostly just basic suggestions, my motherboard (And the previous one.) had integrated solutions, GPU has that audio thing too and then there's the actual add-in soundcard I'm using so I'm used to drivers causing problems or setting one device as default or simply somehow becoming unsigned and deactivating.
Asus does good sound hardware but the first couple of generations suffer from poor driver support so the unofficial ones are pretty god even for STX and Essence card even though those already see some improvements in drivers compared to earlier models.
(Phobos which is their most recent hardware - though not absolutely highest-end since it targets gamers primarily - has a different driver entirely.)

Those are teh shit man. I had Fatal1ty FPS card which is awesome soundcard, but the drivers are pretty much useless. They even fucked up whole PCI slots on my mobo (needed reinstall windows and everything to get working)
