You seem to think that my mainboard doesn't supply enough power to X-Fi HD.
through a USB cable.
I just plugged it into a USB 3.0 port. But, I have to test it for a while.

I thought my mainboard was dying, but other USB devices weren't
dropping out.

Do I need to get a replacement for my USB soundcard?
Or, is it a software issue? 
 It seems to be bus powered, if so, then for testing purpose use a very
 short USB cable and test different USB ports, if possible test with an
 active USB hub, too.
