I'm trying to use my Xonar DX sound card just as a DAC with my external headphone amp. My headphone amp (Cavalli Liquid Carbon) doesn't have TOSLINK input, only RCA, 3.5mm and XLR. There is a 3.5mm to RCA cable, andI've plugged that into the line out jack but I'm not hearing anythingI had to plug the 3.5mm into the 'front' headphone jack.
I was having problems getting the card to work again. It didn't seem to power up, but re-seating the power cable a couple times seems to have at least allowed me to install and open the driver.
I have the software setup like this

Is the Xonar set as the default audio playback device? If not, that could be the problem. (Windows only allows one default audio playback device).

I'm marking this as unsolved as I'm not sure if I'm double amping. I had to plug my amp into the front headphone jack of the Xonar. In the documentation, it says to plug into the microphone/line out jack, but in the past I wasn't getting any response from it. Should I just not worry about this?
