How do you make sure your computer is using the sound card not the other ones on v card and motherboard?

Disable the integrated sound in the BIOS and make sure you're plugging-in to the appropriate connectors.

You could disable the other ones, though that really isn't needed. You just need to make sure the devices you are using are pointed to the sound card under playback and recording devices.

Make sure your headphones or speakers are plugged into the back of the card. Then right click on the speaker icon in the task bar and go to playback devices. Then make sure you have a check-mark next to ASUS Xonar Essence STX Audio Device. if its not then right click and click "Set as default device".

You have to disable the sound card on your motherboard in the BIOS first, uninstall the v card whatever that is and then install the new card. You should then check in System in Control Panel if you are running Windows that the ASUS card is listed there after the install. No other sound card should be installed other than the ASUS, they all have to be uninstalled. It is a great sound card by the way.

You could always go into the device manager and disable the obsolete sound output. That would stop it from even showing up on the list

It seems to work fine but t was only the lap top speakers that were out not the sound card. Check your device manager to see if the sound card is functioning if the computer says it is. Check your sound systems. Its easy to replace a sound card in a lap top. And worth it.

Sorry. I cannot help on this one. The Creative Labs SB0570 sound card I bought is installed in a custom built desktop running XP. As of now, well satisfied with it. What it will do with Win &, I cannot say.

My keystation needs the computer to produce sound. A computer program also needs to be installed for it to work.

It does do that on my win8 laptop- but I suspect this is a function more of the operating system than the sound card itself. And if it doesn't happen automatically, there are usually settings for controlling that in your operating system.

The question is a little vague. Use more specific details such as program used to interface, are the drivers loaded, the DAW program you are using, etc.

Sound comes from the computer, not the monitor. Plug your speakers into your computer.

Yes go into system preferences then sound. In sound then go to outputs then it should say like LCD Tv or something like that which is your computer. Do not select internal speakers thats your computer. The Type will say HDMI

I don't think so. The audio jacks (both front and back) that came with the computer are hard wired to the motherboard and once you enable the sound card, those are disabled. I bought the card my built in sound card failed. I was hoping the new card supported EQ function but it does not thus the audio/music sound like crap. I eventually swapped computers with my wife and gave her the Creative card as she can't hear the difference. I was disappointed the this card performance.

In Windows go to "Control Panel" then to "Sound" and you should see what devices are connected. Look for the the device you want then right click your mouse button on it and select "Set as Default Device" then click "OK" and sound should start coming from whatever device you choose. I tried just clicking the device many times and it changed nothing until I set it as default. Hope that helps someone.

Go through your audio setting on your computer to set up through display port options

They should just plug into a USB port for power and then your audio out jack - make sure that the volume disk on top of the right one is turned up all the way. if you still are not getting sound, check and make sure that the volume on your computer isn;t turned down or off. If that isn;t the issue you might want to check out your sound card.

There is no one simple answer. First I would look to any support forums for the software you are using it with. I assume a DAW. When you say computer sound card, that might be the main trouble. You should always be using a dedicated audio interface not a standard sound card that comes with your average off the shelf computer. Daniel G. is right in that your audio buffer size is a good place to tweak. But go find a support community for the program(s) you are using the keyboard with.

Yes, all motherboards come with on-board sound now. This board has a nice one.
