Soundcard Xonar DGX only works 'sometimes'

1

Since about half a year, i am having a really confusing time with my Soundcard. When I boot my PC up it feels like there is a gamble going on that is deciding if the Sound Card works now. If it does not work, I always restart my PC a few times and after a non deterministic amount of times, the Sound Card gets recognized and will be automatically used.

  • OS: Arch Linux x86_64
  • Kernel: 5.0.4-arch1-1-ARCH
  • Desktop-Environment: Xfce
  • Audio: Pulseaudio/Alsa

I used the "lspci -v" command when it was working:

Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8788 [Oxygen HD Audio]

Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. CMI8786 (Xonar DGX)

Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 44, NUMA node 0

I/O ports at e000 [size=256]

Capabilities: access denied

Kernel driver in use: snd_oxygen

Kernel modules: snd_oxygen

and when it was NOT working:

Multimedia audio controller: C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8788 [Oxygen HD Audio]

Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. CMI8786 (Xonar DGX)

Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 15, NUMA node 0

I/O ports at e000 [disabled] [size=256]

Capabilities: access denied

Kernel modules: snd_oxygen

To be honest I am not really great in the 'Linux Audio Stuff', so I hope you can help with this.
