Tom,
If the problem is only happening when the Asus U7 is the default
soundcard, then how do you deal with the tendency of the Windows
operating system to set any newly installed soundcard as the default?
Seems like a "catch 22" to me.
Yes, the specs on the Asus U7 are very good, but for panadapter use, it
needs the 192 kHz bandwidth.

That's strange. Never heard a single issue with the Asus u7 stuck at
48 and i know of many many people using them. The only reason that
happens is that people often set the card as the default sound card
which should not be done.
The u7 in my experience, is the quietest and least likely to have Spurs.
Cards to stay away from now a days with win10 are the emu cards.
Upgrades to win10 may work but not fresh installs. Drivers are at
least 4 years old and still beta.

Tom,
Tom,
If you want to use the soundcard for panadapter applications, then go
with the recommendations on the LP-Pan site, but there are several users
that have been reporting that the ASUS U7 reverts to 48k and there does
not seem to be a solution. The ASUS U5 does not seem to share that
problem. In addition to the bandwidth of the card, the noise floor and
the lack of a zero frequency spur are important considerations.
Look at the LP-Pan Yahoo Group for a lot of comments.
If your soundcard will be used for digital modes only, then you do not
need a 'top of the line' soundcard, most any will do.
But the LP-Pan website can still be an assist in selecting one - look at
the noise level on the various cards to find the better ones for
soundcard digital mode use. The internal soundcard in your computer may
prove to be adequate, but turn off the sounds generated by your OS if
you use the internal card so you do not transmit those sounds.
