Best Xonar Drivers for Vista , help to find this exact one.

[D.Draker]

Hello everyone , please help me find a Vista driver for this almost 15-years old sound card , I'm looking for this version , proven to be the best .

Version: 6.12.8.1738-RC01

File Size: 18.70 Mb

Release: 14 Jul 2008

Filename: xonar_dx_81738_rc01_vista.zip

The audio driver link is down , but the page with the info is still alive .

https://www.touslesdrivers.com/index.php?v_page=23&v_code=21842&v_langue=en

Or these , but they are not as good as the previous one , 1738. All inks are down , sadly .

Go here - http://www.opendrivers.com/download/driver-83547.html

The "Official Server 1" link didn't work for me, but go down to the bottom of the page and find the "Backup Server" link. That worked for me.

Cheers and Regards

To be fair, you were actually very accurate and provided a lot of details in the question. 

 

More often than not similar questions go *like*:

Hey guys, I remember having got from the internet a driver for my Xonar audio card that worked so much better in Vista than the one I have now.

Any ideas on where I can find that driver?

you could use the wayback machine to see if the download link was working some time ago (or even saved)

I did try that, first thing, of course, and there is only one (bad) archived page from 2015:

Anyway the issue is solved.

Thank you very much for the link! I don't have that exact card, but the driver also works with other Xonar series cards, just need to replace the device ID, a very good driver, indeed!
