After acquiring the Asus Xonar D2 7.1 Audio Card with a Logitech Z906 I noticed that the sound is cut at random times and the speakers no longer perform.

Only option is to restart the PC in order to have sound again, I've no idea what's causing this/

After trying to play a track in winamp after the issue occurred, the track stays still at 0:00 Laughing .

Found a thread on an asus forum where a similar problem seemed to occur, the guy mentioned that after hearing a 'click' sound from the audio card the sound would just go off and the only remedy is to rr the pc. I didn't hear any click sound, probably just because I listen at a higher volume, he also mentioned that this card has problems with nforce chipsets on mobos so that after getting a new mobo he got rid of the problem.

My MSI Z68A-GD65-G3 has an Intel chipset so i dont see what the problem is, think ill disable the sound card and connect the z906 to the onboard realtek 7.1 to see it it still occurs.

Any ideas ?

did you look and see if the hardware device was still selected in winamp as your output device when that happened?

have you tried it with the onboard sound disabled in the BIOS?
you should really have done that before trying to install a new one by the way, just in case, almost sounds like the teething issues creative cards used to have when they wound up installing weirdly because of it getting confused the by the onboard soundcard.

how loud are you playing things? those speakers should have anti clipping protection, it's possible but doubtful you tripped that if you're playing it really loud, actually... that may be incorrect, you'd probably need to power cycle the speakers and their remote/control thing not the computer.

Also, I just connected the z906 to the onboard card ( realtek alc 892 ) and it seems that it can handle 96 khz and 192 khz while on the ASUS XONAR D2 after selecting the 96khz everything is distorted .

Unsure how old your D2 is but there is both drivers and a firmware update available for these "first generation" Xonar cards. (I use a D2X myself.) so try that, it's via Asus support website.
(And to properly update the drivers use the uninstaller to remove the current ones as a overwrite install tends to just bug stuff, it's just one extra restart and re-configuring the Xonar audio properties and Windows sound properties.)

(Also make sure the channels and speaker configuration is set up properly in the Xonar audio config panel and I'd recommend killing the GX thing.)

Those are also much recommended over the Asus official drivers, usually newer core version too. Smile
(And other benefits, I'm using the Low Latency version myself but Normal should be OK too, C-Media version didn't quite work as it should have.)
