Windows 7 64 bit + Extreme Gamer = no mic

Hi,
Installed Windows 7 tonight thinking that surely i wouldn't have any problems with drivers after he Audigy 2ZS/Vista Fiasco and guess what. My Mic does not work. It should just work out of the box!
Used current drivers from creatives own site but couldn't find any option to correct in settings. Vent and windows register volume levels when i speak and i can hear myself in my own headphones but no sound is being transmitted on vent, or in steam.
I have uninstalled everything. Can anyone help?
Thanks....

-Re: Windows 7 64 bit + Extreme Gamer = no mic?
Now this is a long shot. This is an experiment for you, but it was a success for me. Running Vista and Windows 7, I switched several times between my x-fi FATALITY PRO PCI and my X-FI Titanium PCI-Express. I accidentally formatted my system without switching out sound cards and I installed the drivers for my X-FI Titanium. I had unzipped them with Winrar to look in the directories, hoping to learn .ini files and their customizable settings. I chose update, and then have disk and browsed to the location of the TITANIUM drivers by mistake, and I updated my X-FI Fatality PCI. Well what do you know? It worked. I used that card with the wrong driver, and it restored my what u hear function and my microphone worked great. You may want to try it........you may not. Just a suggestion. Download the Titanium driver, unzip it with winrar winace or 7-zip, and then manually update it with the have disk, and browse to the unpacked folder. Restart and you will have sound. Check your micophone and sound now......You will have to reconfigure your EQ and speaker settings and always be sure to NOT check full range speakers in the control panel, speakers applet.

Vista 64: XiFi Extreme Gamer: Mic not work

I can't get a microphone to work in BF242 with Vista 64 and my Extreme Gamer. I plug the mic into the 3-way jack, select "mic" in the Creative console; but when I get into the sound setup in the game all I can hear during the test is a pulsing noise. Is there something I need to change in the Windows sound setup (I have tried 2 different mics by the way)

Just ran across something new to try. The Extreme Gamer has an internal connection to run to a front sound panel. (It's one of the reasons I purchased this model.) A post in the XiFi Forum mentioned that the front panel connection sometimes causes problems with the muti-jack. Anyone else see thisI'll report back when I get a chance to try this.
Update: After unplugging the front panel connector I have been able to successfully use my mic in BF242. Remember to change the settings in the "Sound" section in Vista as well as in the Creative Control Panel (shouldn't the Creative panel automatically change the Vista settings ). In Vista you need to select the Microphone as default recording device and also change the recording slider source from "What You Hear" to the mic. I had to push the slider to the max for the mic to be heard in the game.

Creative XFi Extreme Gamer no Microphone In

Hello,
I've just reinstalled Windows XP SP2 (with all the patches) on my gaming machine. After installing the latest Creative drivers for my Soundblaster XFi Extreme Gamer audio card (from the website: SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_5_0006.exe) the sounds work fine but my microphone doesn't work. It's plugged into the Flexijack on the card but there's no setting to switch the Flexijack from optical mode to audio mode. The Soundblaster XFi documentation says to click on the "Advanced" button under the Microphone settings in the Mixer and there should be a check-box to switch the Flexijack over but mine shows no such check box.
Can someone point me to the right settings?
Thanks,
Dennis

Good luck, lots of x-fi things don't work right in 64. Most people I know just gave up and use the onboard audio mic instead, less hassle.

Problems with Installing Software for XFi Extreme Gamer C

Hi, I've just bought an XFi Extreme Gamer card. I've got a dual boot system (two difrent hard discs). The board installed ok under XP and works OK. The problem is that under Win2K Pro the installation comes up with an Entry Point Error for CTXFISPI.EXE WTSRegisterSessionNotification could not be located in WTSAPI32.dll. These files exist on the CD and Hard dri've. I do get sound and music etc but the problem is that when I try to launch the volume control or console etc it says "The current selected audio device is not supported by the application. Do you want select another audio device now?". If you say yes you get the choice of "Follow Windows Default". Now checking the device manager etc you find that Creative SB XFi is there and has no problems. There doesn't seem to be any updated drivers for Win2K on the site, I'm at a bit of a loss what to do next, I only upgraded to try and play some newer games, hasn't helped so far. Also can't launch the diagnostics programme either.
Any suggestions would be great, I don't if it's Windows fault or Creative at the moment.

are you blind man? that what nearly every post on this forum is about the complete lack of vista support. Yes we all have the driver but you can forget the console and all of the advanced connectivity you paid for. Creative are just a joke in my opinion why can't they get this sorted i also use optical in for my xbox 360 i'm totally pissed off with this situation. Come on creative get your act together and get some proper support sorted!!!!

Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic Issues

"Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic IssuesG Ok, i've seen so many posts on this issue but am now suffering from a headache after spending 3 hours trying everything I could find in google to fix this.
The mic works when it wants. When it does work (rarely), its garbled or lagging like crazy.
I have read, and searched this forums, but besides seeing "Doesn't work" or "Use daniel_k's drivers" i cant find any definate fix (or even links to something new that I haven't already tried).
I tried daniel ks drivers and they seems to be pretty darn good, however it still did not correct my issue.
I record music, and I play games. . . and absolutely love win7. . . but am forced to use XP (limiting my amount of memory used) when I want to do any of the above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

&Re: Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic Issues? The support pack does absolutely nothing to fix the mic issues.
Does this driver improve sound quality or performance? Are there any tweaks?
No, this driver does not improve sound quality nor increase performance.
No, there are no tweaks.
If someone states that its driver improves sound quality and performance, you are being fooled, cheated.
It is even worse that the so called tweaks come from a person who is not EVEN technically acknowledged, does NOT know anything about Windows internals, software engineering and?sound?fidelity that all audiophiles always look for.
If you "feel" the sound better, that is the infamous placebo effect and there is no real proof that any tweaks work.
In fact, I have yet to see a driver that states in its release notes that it improves sound quality.
I've disassembled about every single .SYS driver, .DLL libraries and .EXE executables and found nothing.
There are some undocumented registry values, but nothing related to sound quality or performance.
Would the so called tweaks even exist, they would be in my Support Packs, you can bet that.

Microphone issues on Windows 7/Vista 64-bit (x64) with 4GB?of RAM or more
Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, resulting in random issues with the Microphone (static, robotic or distorted voice, white noise).
Workarounds:
- install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows
- limit the RAM available to Windows to less than 4GB
- enable Memore Hole in BIOS Setup, if?your motherboard supports the setting

Windows 8.1 Bootcamp External Mic stopped registering

Im using Windows 8.1 installed on my macbook through bootcamp. Yesterday I booted up Windows to find that the mic on my gaming headset is no longer being recognized, according to my laptop it doesnt even exist. I have spent all day looking for fixes, and it worked fine before. I am using the combined jack that MacBooks have, combining audio and microphone. The microphone still works fine on iOS, and i also tried my apple headphones with the microphone and had the same response.
Reinstalled all drivers.
Headphones are set as default device.
All drivers associated have been updated.
I even did a fresh install of Windows, which fixed nothing.
Please help!!!!

Your headphone port is a combined analog/optical port. The faint red-light indicates that the microswitch which controls the analog v optical output is stuck.
1. You can try a SMC reset - Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
2. You can plug the headphone jack gently a couple of times, which should release the microswitch, and the red light should turn off.
3. Do you get audio from your internal speakers? Please also see Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs - Apple Support. This has the bit about the red light.
If the Internal Speakers option does not appear in the Output tab and your computer is not a Mac Pro, check that Digital Out is present as in the image below:
Confirm again that all external audio devices and cables have been removed.
Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
If you do not see a red light, proceed to step 5.

Xfi Extreme Gamer. Conections Quest

I got this card to replace an aging Audigy2 but I need to conect the output to my home theater system. The card Boasts a "optical" connection but there is no documentation on how to impliment that method. I have a digital I/0 box but the documentation states it is not compatible with the card. I may return this if I can't get the optical conection to happen and go with the fatality platinum. The break out box seems to have more options. Has anyone got the optical to interface with their reciever and How?Message Update. I returned the Extreme Gamer card? for the Xfi Platinum. The break put box supplies me with the needed optical out signal for my reciever. The digital I/O module did not work (contrary to CL web site).?I still had to make several setting selections internally within CL's interface and Windows before "finally" getting a working signal out (a lot of trial & errors). The signal is kind of weak and the volume needs to be cranked up to a high degree, but hey it works now!? Note to CL. Your connection instructions are vague and less than useful in real world settings. Do you have an opening for a Tech manual writer? ; )Message Edited by jaytmoon on -2-200603:07 PM

Thanks Rad- but Those options won't help me.I really hope someone for creative would jump in here since the product's packaging leads me to believe that this can be done wothout any home made mods or 3rd source cabling. It really looks like a "Truth in advertising" faupa to me!Message Edited by jaytmoon on -7-20062:5 PM

Sound disappears randomly on Extreme Gamer XiFi Fatal

Hi all,
Very new to the forums here and?I was wondering if anyone could advise me on what I can do. I've been experiencing random and complete sound loss during online gaming and sometimes during browsing or sound distortion while gaming or playing online vids such as youtube. Currently running vista home premium on a quad core system and I have the?lastest driver/software updates for everything. I read a sticky about some Vista compatibiliy issues, but it was an old post so I assume things ought to be fixed by now? Wondering if I should return my card for a warranty replacement or something. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am experiencing similar problems. I installed an x-fi extreme gamer in a new system in November and all was well until 3 weeks?ago. The sound now still works at first boot or immediately after a reboot, but has started dropping out to be replaced by?white noise after anything from a?few minutes?to tens of minutes after switch on. This only resolves after reboot. Starting creative Console, Sound Recorder etc. after the white noise has started results in BSOD.
System details as follows:
Asus Maximus Formula (458 MHz FSB)
Core 2 Duo E6750 (8 x multiplier)
4 GB Corsair DDR2 800
BFG 8800 GTS?320 MB
Sound Blaster Xtreme Gamer
Vista Home Premium 32 bit with SP
500 GB Samsung SATA HD
620?W Corsair PSU
Have uninstalled and reinstalled all latest drivers.
Any thoughts welcome, have tried everything I can think of.

Problem with my Extreme-gamer cons

Hello,
I just bought my soundcard to play on Battlfield 242. And saw the web page "http://www.soundblaster.com/products/gaming/article.asp?articleID=6848&categoryID=3" on how I could make my gaming richer.
And I realise that my Creative Extreme-Gamer Console doesn't have a option called "Sychronize with control panel" in gaming mode.
Any ideas? Really need help.
Thanks

X-FI Extreme Gamer Locks up with high pitched signal play

My System..OS:Clean format and install Vista 64 bit UltimateMotherboard:ASUS P5N-E-SLI4 GB RAMVideo:2-nVidia 7950gt SLIAegis Physic acceleratorX-FI Extreme Gamer..purchased ~ 2 years ago?Works awesome up to the point it hangs. I've updated the bios. My Power supply is 800 watts. Ive checked the interrupt list and the memory alloction list and nothing overla
ps.
I dont know what else to do. If I need to purchase something different I would gladly do so if I was certain it would fix the issue. Andy?Really frustrated at this point?

I also have had this issue occur with me. In basic troubleshooting, I have found that if I can disable all applications that are trying to access the audio bus. remove and reinstall the drivers, I can get normal sound back without having to reboot the computer. This leads me to believe that it is a driver issue and not a hardware one. The issue occurs for me mostly anytime i heavily use the audio, such as listening to a lot of music with Winamp, or playing games with lots of audio channels acti've. normal idling it will cause it to eventually fail too , but takes much longer to occur (day instead of 5 minutes since reboot). the issue only started since i had to reinstall Vista on my computer not even a month ago, before then, the audio worked perfectly. currently I am forced to use the onboard audio as it will not crap out and is actually usable same time that the X-fi drivers have locked up.

Windows Explorer EXTREMELY slow at copying files from network, but robocopy works

Hi guys,
I'm having a REALLY BAD performance issue when copying files over from SAMBA 4 to any Windows 7 computer. To copy a folder containing 50 files with a total of 10 MB using the explorer it takes about 20 minutes (!!) at a rate of 3-5 KB/s, but when using robocopy
the same folder takes like 3 seconds to complete. Also, the issue does not occur with older versions of Windows, like Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.
Please please please come up with some ideas except the usuals like disabling Remote Differential Compression, disable autotuning using netsh, setting local security policies for NTML authentication or trying new switches / upgrading network drivers or windows.
I DID IT ALL, but nothing helped!
Thanks in advance!

Linking in your post over on Server Fault in case it gets resolved over there first ;)

How to run a OEM installation on Extrem Gamer (silent install)

>Hi.
I'm having problems with the lastest driver for Extrem Gamer (2_8_005).
I can't get it to install silent. I have tried the main setup.exe with /s.
When I try to record the setup with /r the setup?would not?complete.
Sbxf\setup /s work occasionally, the same with ctzapxx /s. But it usually take several reboots and attempts.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

BBecause there is 2 drivers, for retail and oem hendrix series. Both include (or in this case must include) same AppSetup.exe. To reduce installation size Creative put only one copy in root directory, regular installer automatically place it in correct location before proceeding.
