Good, but terrible with drivers

by Rich James star_border star_border star_border star star

It's a good sounding card, but Asus ALWAYS have a problem with maintaining drivers on their discrete sound cards. This is currently impacting this card along with their other offerings. It's over 2 months since Windows 11 released (and a lot longer with all the previews counted) and the best their support is able to say is "Yes, we don't support this card on Windows 11", despite it being a currently supported item. This has happened with all their previous Xonar range after a while, that they stop bothering to release drivers.
