Bioshock Issue

[Cmp™]

I got the Bioshock Series as a gift from a good friend of mine and wanted to try the first one. However, as soon as the splash screen comes up, the game crashes

I found a Steam thread that says if you launch the game with -nosound and it works, it's a sound card issue. I tried that and it did work, so I've confirmed it is a sound card issue. Sadly, that same thread only offers fixes for every card EXCEPT the card I'm running . I'm running an ASUS Xonar DG card.


Anyone have any ideas?

you can try to remove (what i assume youre using atm) the standard asus drivers and try the UNi Xonar drivers

or try disabling the DSP features like EAX

^ yea that, the UNi drivers really saved the Xonar lineup

That worked, thanks!
