Xfi extreme gamer card help

Hi I have the Xfi extreme gamer card. I just reinstalled windows 7 and got the latest drivers from SoundBlaster . The sound seems muffled . I used Daniel Ks driver in the past and it worked well for me but now I get a error- ?setup was unable to detect the card? .

I can install the XFi Extreme Gamer but the problem is when i restart the computer, the resolution of the monitor drop to 4 bits only. When i check at display card properties, it show this message "This device cannot find enough free resource that it can use". Please help. For the information, my previous sound card is Sound Blaster 5. Li've and i don't have problem with it. My specs:Windows XP SP2RAM 2 GBP4 2.8 GHZ7600 GT (AGP)

  • 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!!!!

  • 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

  • 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.

    Hi, Dave. I am familiar with what we all do by default - since we all google the same info. What I want to know is what the items I am asking about actually do. I've got the vast majority of them figured out - and have a list of what they are and who they belong to and how they are controlled.
    UpdReg.exe and CTXFireg.exe are the ones I am still scratching my head over - because I haven't seen anything definitive posted by someone who is actually "in the know". It's all parrotted information that's been copied from forum to forum over the years - to the point it has become urban legend.
    I've found by experience that assumption is the mother of all screwups. So, I actually want to know, from "someone who has the inside scoop" - what these two utilities actually do. For example, do they do more than one thing? Do they do some sort of housekeeping to restore the volume control levels to the last known-good levels if the machine crashes at shutdown? Do they do that as well as provide the Registration Reminder?
    This thing doesn't get deleted automatically - and it reappears when you reinstall-from-scratch. I'd just like to know what's going on - rather than guess or depend upon hearsay.
    Could a CL Staffer please comment on this? Thanks.

  • Extreme gamer card is dead

    while back in December i bought a sound blaster extreme gamer and in January it died.
    i have tried this card in 3 other computers and it does the same thing the disk and drivers from the site all say can not find the supported product the card is placed in correctly and the red light is on in the back when it says found new hard ware which is about every 20 years it will say multimedia device and then when i try to install the drivers it wont work it does this on my other computers too... what should i do

    If it does the same on 3 computers probably it's really dead. If it's still under the retailer warranty try an exchange, otherwise contact CL's support for a RMA.

  • XFi Extreme Music Card Probl

    I just bought my Xfi card a couple of days ago; My Audigy One was working fine(just as a baseline) My board is a Asus A8V bios 04 2 GB ram, A64 3500. My current test game is Call of Duty with the .4 patch. I have installed all of the driver updates this week; Game crashes almost immediatly. I first had a IRQ conflict with my Geforce 6800GT. I moved the X-fi card to slot 4 and no more conflict; however same problem with the game. I also get some cracklin in the speakers when the system boots up.
    Question number one; should I plug a floppy power cable to the card? One post seemed to think that you should. This is just the Xtreme Music card with no accessories; the manual refers to this for "powering the X-fi I/o console via the AD_Link Connector. Any thoughs on this or my problem in general. I will try other games and see if it continues.

    Actually, if you check the fine print at dell's website you will see a # footnote that says?basically that their card may vary from a retail one and also that the dolby is accessed via the DVD software they include.
    Anyway here are 2 links to discussions right here in the forums that talk about it and I'm SURE if you did a search you would find even more, hint hint <wink>

  • Xfi Extreme Gamer: Vista 64: Microphone is no

    As title suggests, I am using the XiExtreme Gamer in?Vista 64. When I plug a microphone into the 3-way jack, even if I select microphone in the audio console, all I hear is a pulsing noise wjen I test the mic in BF242. Is there something else I need to do? I tried a headset and a stand alone mic.

    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.

  • Does the X-FI I/O Drive work with the X-FI Extreme Gamer Card?

    In what way? Not trying to defend Creative here (and i have slammed Creative and that card elsewhere), but nowhere on the product page for that card does it say anything about being a card for gaming. Like I said a few minutes researching the card would have told you exactly what it was, and what it was intended for. And also like I said you show me anywhere on this page,?http://us.creative.com/products/prod...9&product=5855?that it says anything about supporting EAX and being used for games. The fact that it has X-Fi in its name is irrelavent (despite the fact it shouldn't) to the fact that you didn't research what you were buying, and then complaining after the fact that it doesn't do what you expected (EAX and games).

  • Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium

    I have installed Windows 7 upgrade on an HP desktop that was running XP Pro. Install went fine exept I have an error "No Audio Device Installed"? yet I have installed the Xfi extreme audio card in its slot. The card works fine with XP. I have gone with the windows update installed the current driver with still no luck. Searched the forums again no luck, have done my due diligence via the internet and with beta drivers and still only have the red X everytime I boot. What can I do to get this card working agian?

    Re: Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium0 As I stated in my first post I did my due diligence and after installing beta drivers for the SB0790 then installing the recommended driver dated July 09 it still does not recognize the device (7 Home Premium). I have gone through every forum google points me to we are not alone, taking advice I've installed then deleted these drivers about 0 to 20 times I've tried compatibility mode "Vista" "Vista SP", "Vista SP2", "XP", and so forth with no luck also running the driver as admin. Every time I update driver in 7 it tells me I have the current driver yet I have a red X and no sound.
    I can't believe that Creative does not have working drivers for the final release of 7 knowing that they had 6 to 8 months to prepare. Really poor on their part.

  • No mic after updating to 2.18.0004 xfi extreme ga

    After?I updated to 2.8.0004 I had no mic from the front pannel jack or card jack with my extreme gamer card. I uninstalled? 2.8.0004 put in the disc that came with the card and every thing went back to normal.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Maurice

    I have no answer but I do have the same problem. Creative reportedly hired a team of **bleep** to design their new drivers. We can only hope that it will be adressed in a coming driver update. In the mean time the only way is to use older drivers.

  • X-Fi detected as Extreme Gamer -WHY ? + how to tell which firmware card has (vide nF4 proble

    Hello.
    The pictures say it all - new rev. of card, detected as Extreme Gamer. What is going on ?
    http://photos.allegro.pl/photos/oryg...0723/2307235_3
    http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/274/hhhch8.jpg
    BTW : the explanation by Creative of the new revisions is most disturbing : the say that they refined the production process, and as result new chips generate more heat ... AND ... they are looking forward into REFINING IT MORE so that they can, here's the best part, reduce the heat emission to level that previous cards had.
    I mean ,what the ... ? What kind of rifining is that ?
    OK, all in al, I would like someone (hopefully from CREATIVE) to explain it to me - first of all the wierd Extreme Gamer thing, and "the new revisions" thing.
    In addition I have another question - I am willing to buy X-Fi. Right now I own a nForce2 based mobo, and in near future (I can not tell how near, or how far) I am going to upgrade the whole PC. It could happen that I end up with nF4 board. The question is : is there any way to verify which firmare version the card has (because I am aware that in case of problems with nF4's, X-Fi cards were replaced with units with new firmware). How do I tell the difference between them ?
    Message Edited by Suchy0 on 08-27-2006 03:2 AM

    My X-Fi is a Dell OEM one.
    I assume is a new revision because the disposition of the capacitors is different to the pictures I've seen of the early X-Fi retail ones, and it has a radiator on the chip.
    It's being running flawlessly on my rig for about six weeks now.
    This is a brief summary of the hardware installed on it:
    DFI NF2 UltraInfinity with custom BIOS (homemade tweaks here and there, including new SATA Bios and some fiddling with memory timings/latency, nothing very serious).
    Athlon XP3200+ 400 Mhz (Barton core... big troublemaker)
    Thermaltake SilentTower Cooler
    Gb DDR-SDRAM PC3200 (2x52) Infineon slightly overvolted/overclocked (2.80v / 2.5-3-3-7)
    Antec TrueBlue 350w PSU (Slowly decaying... the 2v rail is going all over the place, shouting for a new one...)
    Asus V9999 GeForce 6800 GT now running on stock clocking (or my PSU will just quit).
    ViewSonic VX2025w
    Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 60Gb 8Mb Cache SATA50 OEM HDD on SATA 0
    SpinPoint P Series SP082C 80 Gb on SATA
    Lite-On DVDRW SHM-65P6S on IDE 0
    NEC DVDRW ND-3500AG on IDE
    SB X-Fi ExtremeMusic (Dell OEM) in PCI #4 (IRQ 7, not shared)
    TP-Link TL-WN650G Wireless Adapter in PCI #5 (IRQ 8, not shared)
    Onboard SoundStorm enabled (I use it for ventrilo with a headset)
    I run WindowsXP SP2 with all the latest patches/updates (Goddess bless AutoPatcher ^^).
    APIC enabled on BIOS and running "ACPI Uniprocessor PC" HAL.
    I also have far too much junk installed.For the MB I use the 5.0 drivers (all but the IDE driver)
    For the SoundStorm the 4.62 release.
    For the X-Fi I use the YouP-Pax 3.33 drivers. (drivers only, no bloatware TYVM)
    For the 6800GT I use the XTreme-G 9.45 drivers.
    For the WLAN card I use heavily hacked Atheros drivers (4..2.37 based).
    Now, I'm not friend of FPS's, so the only game I've played that qualifies as such is Prey, dri'ven by curiosity more than anything else. The X-Fi behaved during gameplay. No popping/crackling/crashing/jumping/skipping or hopping.
    I've extensi'vely played Oblivion (absolutely brilliant, worth every penny, pity my rig can barely cope with it), Dungeon Siege II: Broken World, Final Fantasy XI (can't get over this one... everytime I decide to quit I find myself playing again) and Syberia II (I love this kind of games... pity no one does them anymore...). Again no problems.
    I also played a few movies (DVD, DivX, XviD...) with no issues whatsoever.
    And my music (both compressed and uncompressed) sounds brilliant.
    Not too bad for a $9 investment ^^Message Edited by MrToad on 08-28-2006 2:05 AM
