Hi guy

I change my PC with an Asus X370 Pro + Ryzen 1700x.
PC run great, but i cant use my Asus Essence STX II, i pluged it and into devices manager i can see it, but when i try to install the drivers or try to update the driver the PC reboot automatically without reason.

What is this ?

- I tryed to remove and reinstall the card into the PCI-ex
- I checked if the power cable was correctly plugged
- I tryed to format the Windows and try to install Essence driver first at all but same problem ..... i run the setup of driver and .... boom !
If i go into devices manager and try to install driver manually, same thing.

HELP PLEASE !

Fresh install or...?

What means fresh install ?
i formatted hard drive and reinstall manually all.

anyone ?

Hi
Im tryed another slot PCI.

I plug the card in the last PCI 8x and once started Windows the card was recognized with the correct name and seems run ( with the penultimate PCI-ex 1x instead the card was recognized with a generic name like "multimedia asus audio controller" or similar and install any drivers )

But i dont know what driver is it and there's only that, so ..... no Xonar Control Center to set the card.




I try to launch the setup of the official driver downloaded by the site and do the same thing, PC restart immediately and now dont boot, i must switch off the pc via power button.


What is this ?

Welcome to the World of the Essence STX II in ryzen.

I have been trying to talk to asus here:

https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?94266-URGENT-SUPPORT-REQUIRED-PC-reboot-when-installing-driver-of-ESSENCE-STX-II

With no success on the same issue...

Apparently they decided to give up on me!

If i remember well, Enable EpR or ErP (i dont remember) on bios in power options solves the issues with detection of sound cards. You could try that.

How to fix Asus Xonar STX II set up driver for windows 10 without reboot Computer
 

After search on some forums I have found out 2 ways that can fix it, But I test the second way only and it work for my PC

A/_ 1st way

1 - GO to asus support site
2 - Download the last driver for windows 8.1:
- For example STX_8_1_8_1822_Win8_1.rar
3 - extract files and go to "WIN81" folder
4 - looking for "CmSetx.dll" file, and edit with notepad
5 - The configuration file, has 4 lines:

[SETUP]
ATYPE=30
INI_PATH=SoftwareDriver\InI
SupportOS=win81

You need modify like this:

[SETUP]
ATYPE=30
INI_PATH=SoftwareDriver\InI
SupportOS=donotcare
6 - save changes and run with administrator privileges "Setup.exe" of root driver package folder.
( Not test yet )

B/_ 2nd way
Go to Device Manager
Disable ASMedia USB 3.1
Run setup driver as Admin
Wait still it setup successful
It will ask you to restart PC
Choose " No"
Enable ASMedia USB 3.1
Now you can restart your PC

Note : This way is work for me
