Xonar Essence STX bit-perfect ASIO driver (beta) for Windows XP 32/64bit 1. Sample rate supported: 44.1 / 48 / 88.2 / 96 / 176.4 / 192 kHz
2. Supports one ASIO playback stream (maximum 8 channels) to analog output.
3. Supports one ASIO recording stream (2 channels) from analog input.
4. Recording source (microphone in or line in) is selected by system mixer.
5. To keep the ASIO stream bit-perfect, the following two rules apply:
(1)The ASIO stream has higher priority of using DMA buffer than other streams. That is, when the ASIO stream is played, other streams cannot be played.
(2)No volume control is available for the ASIO stream.
6. When there are more than two ASIO applications running, only one application gets the right to use the hardware resource. This is based on “first come, first service” rule.
7. Current buffer time is set at 10ms, will be adjustable in later version

Disclaimer:
Please be noted that this is still test version and feedback in our support forum should you encountered any error during operation, we appreciate your assistance to make Xonar Essence STX bit-perfect driver better.

Patch file for Red Albert 3 1. The Red Alert 3 uses a legacy 5.1-channel mask scheme and does not support the new 5.1-channel mask scheme that was defined by Microsoft since Windows Vista and matches Dolby and DTS 5.1 surround sounds, which Xonar drivers followed as a default setting. To solve the compatibility issue with Red Alert 3, the patch file is to change the default channel mask scheme of Xonar drivers to make Red Alert 3 work normally on Xonar audio cards. Xonar drivers actually support both schemes and most games could support the new scheme or either one and have no problems on Xonar.

Noted: 1. Install this patch after installing driver.
2. Under XP32/Vista32, Please execute CmAux.exe; Under Xp64/Vista64, Please execute CmAux64.exe
3. Please reboot your system after installing OK. Download
