Sound stops with Xonar DX

Hi!

I own an Asus Xonar DX soundcard for quite a while now (so much better than my Audigy 2 ZS btw) and I'm experiencing some issues. At a certain point the sounds don't get played anymore. It's a bit strange as it's not like everything is silent immediately:

Usually you at first get no more firing sounds anymore and later on (maybe seconds to minutes) you don't hear explosions anymore either. The last thing you can hear always are unit replying sounds which after a while also stop playing...

Does anyone hear use a Xonar card and does have this too? In very few cases I also had the strange effect that suddenly specific sound types started playing again but that really was rare. I also don't have a clue when exactly this starts - I'd say it often starts after 5-15 minutes but sometimes everything works fine in a longer game (although I can't say if that effect might occur if the game had lasted longer so I guess there's something triggering this)...

Is there a way to kinda run Spring in a debug mode so I might look if some kind of error occurs that hunts the sound down (I think there was but I don't know anymore how to achieve that)? I think I recently had the problem that after the sound had gone in Spring I also had no sound in Media Player Classic (VLC worked fine though). Didn't try if that is reproducable or just Window's bad temper though...

Anyone else here using a Xonar btw?
