I also never got a icon for the soundcard on my taskbar(like the ATi icon but for audio) after I installed the drivers. Without the icon I can basicly only play with the windows settings shouldent this card have professional settings like my previous Maximus I and II had?, the soundcard looks the same to me. I tried reinstall the drivers without getting the taskbar icon so what am I doign wrong?. I downloaded the sound drivers from Asus site the only ones that is on there(7.5 mb). Anyone have any ideas what is wrong, anyone have any solution?

I am using Vista 64 if that might have something to do with it.

Have you checked on your Mixer setting? Or did you just adjust the volume using the speaker icon located at bottom right? Sometimes the Wave setting under Mixer may be set way too low and so adjusting the overall volume doesn't help. Check the Mixer setting if you haven't already done so.
