multimedia audio device. If no device is found, try scanning for new

hardware.

I cannot nd the Xonar DSX Audio Center

Instructions:

1. Make sure you have installed the driver

2. Locate the Xonar DSX Audio Center icon in the system tray found at the

bottom right-hand corner of the screen. Double-click the icon to open the

Xonar DSX Audio Center utility.

3. If the icon is not on the system tray, go to the Windows Control Panel and

double click the “Xonar DSX Audio Center” icon to make it visible in the

system tray.

I cannot hear any sound from my analog speakers

Instructions:

1. The Xonar DSX uses power from the PCIE bus and from a separate power

cable. Check if you connected the small 4-pin power connector from the

power supply to the Xonar DSX. If you did not plug the internal power, Xonar

DSX Audio Center will display a warning message and prevent you from

using the application even if you double-click the Xonar DSX Audio Center

icon on the system tray.

2. Ensure that you have connected the speakers properly and have powered on

your speakers.
