I am going out on a limb here -- I believe the Dxi bypasses the soundcard. We have had some recent discussions on Soundfonts which can be used instead of the Dxi and many times have much better sound. If you want to go the sountfont way, be prepared for lots of searching and testing -- there seems to be thousands of free ones out there.

See this thread: http://www.pgmusic.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=220722 and here http://www.pgmusic.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=221035 for a couple of recent discussions.
