Trouble shooting a sound card

Creative Zx PCIe, Windows 10.

I've ran the creative Diagnostics. Nothing came up. The issue randomly appears until I reboot. My card is out of warranty services as I checked this morning. I'm about to change the PCIe slots and see if it comes up again. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers several times, checked device manager (show hidden devices) and uninstalled any hidden sound devices after the software uninstall procedure.

Any other way to test this sound device?
