Another option: uninstall your drivers (undo the re-install you did) and the device listing, shut off the computer, remove the card from your computer, start your computer (no detected card), shut down your computer, re-insert your card, turn on your computer, re-install the drivers. Sometimes the computer needs to be in windows one time with no trace of the device or drivers to "reset" itself.
If that doesn't work, change the last few steps to
shut down your computer with no device physically present, attempt to install the drivers, it'll ask you to install the hardware, so turn off your computer if it requests a turn off or restart, then install your card and start your computer up. Some driver install programs want you to install their software before the hardware before it puts the final version of the driver on your computer.
Or if CCCleaner doesn't solve your woes, make an image backup of your system, uninstall your drivers, then search through your registry (regedit.exe using the find option) the directory name (e.g. "/XONAR_DX") of your soundcard and delete keys that look relevant. If you over-delete and windows won't boot, that's what your image backup is for.
Good luck.
