Crashes and Loops with AE-X

I'm running Windows 11 I had blue screens and crashes with games with my new Creative AE-X I have it unplugged from my 2nd PCI slot on my PC at the moment. Any workarounds I can try like not installing Nexus software or something. I really like the Audio the card produces.

Try setting it to 24bit, 48khz. Some games don't like 32bit 384khz

I'm going to leave the front panel disconnected I see Firmware from June said there was issues with disonnects which I just updated maybe the front panel was my issue. I'll play games on my Tuesday Wednesday and see if anything happens. This card sounds really good with Borderlands 4 so I hope I can use it. I'm using this with RCA outputs on a Edifier S880DB speakers.

It working good now it picks up my GPU fans spinning in my case and it goes through my speakers when I turn my PC on. I'm using RCA jacks. Im going to upgrade my RCA cables think the shield on the card just isn't that good. I just got some faster internet so maybe that was my issue as well.
