Hi chaz73

Do you have onboard sound on the system, if so you may need to go into the BIOS (advanced options or the like) and disable the onboard sound.

Another thing is does the sound card show up in device manager, if so does it have any conflicts highlighted? (right click computer, select manage, click device manager).

Hi chaz73.

Well everything looks good if device manager is reporting no problems (pending it is listing your Xonar DG sound card and not the onboard). I know this is silly and obvious but make sure your plugged in to the PCI sound card and not the onboard sound card, you are in the sound output port which is normaly green, and the volume is up. I hope you have not damaged your card. Have you got an older card just to try out to eliminate the computer?
