HI

     ASUS    sells    Xonar  AE    and  Xonar SE    today .
    I  own  a  Xonar  AE     card.    Xonar  Essens ST/STX    is  a 
previous  model  ( in  the  region  of  12 years  old )  highend audio  
card.
    I dont  know enough  to  to  say  if  there  is  any similarities  
between  the  Xonar  models.
    The  driver  you  found  would  be  worthwile  to  work  on  if its 
usable  with  Xonar SE / Xonar AE.
