Since the problem is caused by an update for Windows, I am not entirely sure who is responsible for fixing the problem. I have also tried using Microsofts tool to disable driver updates, but in my experience, this will not last for very long, and you will soon find yourself having the same problems. This prevents you from receiving security updates, so I do not recommend this as a long-term solution. Until a real fix is out, I decided to simply block Windows Update in my firewall. They seem to acknowledge that there is a problem, but I am not sure they are going to fix it.

I am waiting for Asus to respond to the situation, but so far I have no solution in sight. Today, we also have the option of getting an external USB sound card. The best solution is to simply get a new sound card, if you are lucky, you should be able to find another card in the range of 20-30$. However, you can always go back to a previous version of Windows 10, which did not have the problem. However, this driver does no longer work after the Fall Creators update. The last available Windows 10 driver for Xonar DGX is labled Audio driver for windows 10 32/64bit version 8., and it can be downloaded from Asus website. Installing Windows 8.1 drivers instead of the latest Windows 10 drivers, and I even tried installing a couple of different versions of the unified drivers from, none of which solved the problem. Sadly, I have not been able to solve this problem. When/if the installation process succeeds, there will be no sound, and the CPU usage of Windows Audio Device Graph Isolation spikes to 100%. I noticed the CPU usage for local security authority process goes crazy when installing the latest drivers. The symptoms are high CPU usage and no sound. Asus Xonar DGX no longer appears to be compatible with Windows, as it seems to have stopped working after installing the 1709 Fall Creators Update for Windows 10.
