ASUS launches Designo Series MX299Q Ultrawide 21:9 Cinematic Monitor
ASUS today announced the Designo Series MX299Q Ultrawide 21:9 Cinematic Monitor, a 29-inch widescreen display with an ultra-wide 21:9 aspect ratio and 2560 x 1080 resolution. The MX299Q features the latest AH-IPS (Advanced High Performance In-Plane Switching) display for rich, vibrant color with 178-degree wide viewing angles, and ASUS SonicMaster audio with built-in stereo speakers.
Ultra-wide resolution enhances work and play
With a display area equivalent to that of two 17-inch (5:4 aspect ratio) monitors placed alongside each other, the ASUS Designo Series MX299Q Ultrawide 21:9 Cinematic Monitor has a display area 33% wider than a similar Full HD monitor. The 21:9 aspect ratio gives more room for working with multiple windows side-by-side, removing the need for a secondary desktop monitor. The ultra-wide 2560 x 1080 resolution also means there are no black bars above and below the image when watching widescreen 2.35:1 movies and gamers can also enjoy games in immersive cinematic widescreen.
The LED-backlit AH-IPS display with extremely accurate color reproduction makes the MX299Q ideally suited to both professional and home use. 178-degree wide viewing angles also mean that images don’t wash out when seen from either side, or above and below.
Premium SonicMaster audio, co-developed with B&O ICEpower
The ASUS Designo Series MX299Q Ultrawide 21:9 Cinematic Monitor features ASUS SonicMaster audio technology, co-developed with Bang & Olufsen ICEpower®. A combination of advanced audio hardware and professional audio processing, SonicMaster refines every acoustic detail to deliver crystal clear sound with richer, more distinct vocals and wide frequency range. The MX299Q has an embedded Bang & Olufsen ICEpower® MobileSound 3 chip that delivers incredible audio fidelity through the two built-in 3W stereo speakers for rich and satisfying sound.
Exclusive ASUS technologies
With an 80,000,000:1 ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio and a 300cd/m² brightness rating, the ASUS Designo Series MX299Q Ultrawide 21:9 Cinematic Monitor delivers life-like visuals by adjusting backlight luminance to achieve the darkest black and the brightest white shades. ASUS Splendid™ Video Intelligence Technology also ensures vivid colors in every situation, with its six modes (Standard/ sRGB/ Scenery/ Theater/ Game/ Night view) easily activated using a designated hotkey. The MX299Q also comes with QuickFit Virtual Scale with on-screen guidelines for an actual-size preview of images prior to printing.

Extensive connectivity options in an award-winning design
The ASUS Designo Series MX299Q Ultrawide 21:9 Cinematic Monitor display has an array of connectivity options for wide compatibility with a range of multimedia devices. Video inputs include DisplayPort, Dual-link DVI and HDMI/MHL, with MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) providing a single-cable video and power connection for compatible smartphones and tablets.
The MX299Q features a 0.8mm bezel that gives the illusion of a frameless panel design and an ultra-slim profile measuring just 16.4mm at its thinnest. ASUS Designo Series MX monitors have received numerous design accolades that include the 2012 Japan Good Design Award. The MX299Q also won a 2013 CES Innovations Awards in the Video Displays category.
ASUS Designo Series MX299Q Ultrawide 21:9 Cinematic Monitor will be available from July in Taiwan, Asia Pacific, European and North America markets. Please contact your local ASUS representative for further information.

Thanks Corvus.Corax. I had already tried that after searching for similar problem online. Unfortunently it doesn't change anything. Now, once in a while, it crashes too.
I only need to access the control panel to toggle surround OFF and ON again. Yeah... sigh... need to do that or I won't hear stereo in the 4 speakers (at least not after reboot).
Thanks anyway.

Sounds like there is more wrong than with just the CP.
It's the first thing that starts up for me.

Mine does the same thing at times. If I reboot its fast but sometimes you click it and nothing then 1-5min later it pops up.

If you have an AMD video card with built-in audio, disable ULPS in the registry. Also, in the AMD CCC Panel, disable the audio cards there for Displayport and/or HDMI. This is really a problem with how AMD cards init audio devices. It's even more of an issue if you run CrossfireX, because the second card will go into ULPS and it takes a while to reinit the audio devices on that card when you go into an audio control panel (Either Window's or Creative's).

I tried your suggestion about the ULPS, rebooted but same thing. I didn't find anything related to Displayport and/or HDMI in CCC. Maybe because I'm using a DVI to VGA adapter (monitor only has VGA, altough it's a LCD).
Without going into any love/hate discussion about it... I bet it's the usual Creative Labs driver behaviour...
I'll wait for a new driver version, if any, and see if it goes away.

thx so much for a hint. CP was so slow, I'd click the icon in the bar, wait 5 secs, it shows up,
disabled two amd hdmi, (ulps was disabled already ) and it works from the bat no reboot needed. I click it and it pops up like it should in the beginning.
I encountered the same problem, when I upgraded to a AMD videocard. Just as a shot in the dark I disabled the AMD High Definition Audio Device from the device manager and that solved the problem in my case. Might be worth a try.

Just to keep you up to date, and it may also help somebody else, I seem to have fixed the issue (for now).
I removed everything related to Creative Labs, including some old installation info from my Audigy, ran Driver Sweeper, CCleaner, even manually removed stuff from Windows Registry (with proper reboot in the middle). After all this, I installed the SoundBlaster Z without the EXTRAS and it's not slow anymore.
For the record, I can enable AMD HDMI audio (not that I need it anyway) and I don't get any problem.
As always with Creative Labs, I hope things don't get messed again... For now it's all working as should.

Sorry for necroing but I have the same issue and this thread seems to adress it.
Unfortunately I dont have AMD card to disable those hdmi audio so it wont work for me.
I already disabled nvidia HD audio controller, cleaned with driver sweeper everything related to creative labs, even uninstalled all drivers related to nvidia then proceeded first with creative drivers (heard some guy had this fixed this way) but to no AVAIL.
Seems Im stuck :-/
Any hints im missing?
