3d without glasses versus current pioneer elite pro-151fd

Just a general question to the group: Currently I own a pioneer elite pro-151fd of which I bought 2 yrs ago from BB and had it professionally calibrated after 200hrs of play--to this day--I haven't seen a flat panel that competes w/ the elite except for the Bang and Olsefuen at 5 times the cost,, the elite black levels and color depths are massive,,, do you agree ?? what will be the technology that will overtake the quality level of the pioneer elite "s , when ?? and will there a 3d version of that technology that will be without glasses ?? as a side question--is there anything that could be done as a additional piece of hardware that will become available to convert 2d to 3d without glasses ??

Yes I agree. Nothing today is as good as the Pioneer Kuro technology was.
what will be the technology that will overtake the quality level of the pioneer elite "s , when ??
I think it will still be plasma. When Pioneer stopped production they sold their Kuro tecnology and patents to Panasonic. Panasonic has been slowly incorporating aspects of the Kuro into their lineups and improving on that technology. Many think plasmas are dying but they are not. They will still be around for awhile.
and will there a 3d version of that technology that will be without glasses ?? Eventually but not for another few years. Several companie have already made demo models but there are massive issues with them that prevent them from mass production. Issues such as very poor viewing angles and the cost to produce is so high that the cost of the TV would be prohibitive for mass consumer consumption.

Currently I'm using XP and got no problems with the drivers yet, everything could be installed with the cd from my elite pro package.
So as far as I understood the topics correct, there are 3 option which drivers i could use:
. Orignal Creative windows 7 driver
2. Daniel_k support pack
3. Pax drivers
Can anyone tell me the advantages or disadvantages of these drivers? Important for me are the "gaming" utilities and THX for my 7. Teufel system.
Which dirvers should i use and work without problems?

Current sold macbook pro's- is the GPU fixed?

Hi,
as you all know there is this pesky problem with the nvidia GPU in the Macbook Pro (vertical lines, detected as X3100 and then dying). Does anyone know if the currently sold Macbook Pros's from recent inventory still have that problem? Is it fixed or can I expect that the problem is still sitting in the machine when I go out and buy a brand new one?
Best,
Hendrk

I wouldn't say that the problem has been "fixed" because like many others seem to believe, the issue may only affect a smaller portion of users. It may not exist in the newer models sold today, but you never know.
I am using a Santa Rosa MacBook Pro (the one with the 2.4Ghz CPU and a 256MB NVIDIA 8600 GT graphics card), and I have been using it since January when my defective MacBook was replaced. No problems. I have never seen a graphics card problem on my MacBook or anyone else's for that matter. Performance is great, and the newer models are undoubtedly better than that.
Also, I've been running dual displays for several days now, and performance is exactly the same with or without my extra monitor. Extended Desktop is such a great feature to have; I can run Safari full-screen on my external monitor, while running iTunes and Final Cut Express on the MacBook's screen when I am editing video. Of course my external monitor is an old display with the 4:3 aspect ratio... My point is, I have been using a few graphics-related tasks repeatedly, over and over again, and not once has my NVIDIA card quit or complained. You should not expect a new MacBook to have any problems whatsoever. If you do have a problem, take it to the Apple Store. Buy AppleCare when you order it.
I would recommend waiting for September though. Apple has been known to have media events during this time in order to prepare for the back-to-school and holiday seasons. New MacBooks may pop up alongside new iPods. Who knows? Apple may use an ATI card this time around, unless they switch to a different NVIDIA GPU. Good luck.

X-Fi Elite Pro: Implementation of Effects in M

Hi
Can someone please help me here? It's quite urgent.
I only just switched over to X-Fi from SB Li've yesterday. I'm missing a few things which IMO shouldn't be this difficult to find. If the manuals were printed, they'd basically be good for nothing more paper weights so I do hope someone here will be able to assist me.
Before I start I should probably mention that I'm in Audio Creation Mode.
. EAX presets: When I open the EAX controls in the Audio console, there are no presets plus the preset window is blanked out. The help file says that one should select a preset from the list but given the afore mentioned info, this proves to be somewhat impossible. How do I make the preset window acti've and get presets into it's
2. Auxiliary Effects:
a. In the SB Li've's EAX controls, one was able choose with which MIDI controller to send triggers for EG. a Multi-Tap Echo. If I understand it correctly, the MIDI implementation chart in the manual (which I stumbled upon by accident) seems to indicate that Auxiliary effect 3 is triggered by Controller 92 and Aux 4 by controller 94. However, I get zero response from either Auxiliary when triggering either of the 2 controllers. How do I trigger Aux effect 3 & 4 from my sequencer? Also I don't get any response from Aux 3 & 4 on the Wave channel of the mixer.
b. Is there a better delay unit than the "Digital Delay"? The fact that Tap can only go to 207milliseconds and Tap2 to only 404milliseconds, makes it totally useless for a /4 note echo of anything slower than 48.5BPM. The SB Li've's Multi-tap used to be able to go into the thousands. I'm unable to hear what it sounds like since I can't get Aux 3 & 4 to work.
I hope someone will be able to help me.
Thanx in advance

Hi
Pardon me if I seem a little sinical in this post. It's just that I don't like buying a new and expensi've piece of equipment and having to do a runaround trying to fix problems which shouldn't have been there in the first place.
It's a pitty that problems one has with a new piece of equipment or software almost always is fixable with something that would appear to be user incompetance when in fact it's the result of poor documentation. Anyway, thank you to the support team who helped me out. It would have been nice, though, if my more specific issues were answered concisely and not left completely unanswered.
I thought I'd post the solution if someone could benefit from it:
If you had previously run a Sound Blaster Li've! Platinum before installing X-Fi Elite Pro and you find that Auxiliary effects 3 & 4 doesn't work, it's likely that some of the previous SB Li've drivers had not been completely removed from your system. To do this you have to do a clean sweep of your previous installation (which I would have though should be handled by the uninstall program). Anyway, here's a link to a support page which describes how to accomplish this:
http://us.creative.com/support/kb/article.asp?l=3&sid=72
and then click on the appropriate link.
One problem I had is that the CTZAPXX.EXE mentioned in the procedure doesn't appear on the driver disk that came with my SB Li've! Platinum. Fortunately I have a SB Li've 24bit as well and the app was on that driver disk.
After going through the procedure as mentioned above, the 2 Auxiliary effects still did not work. I then installed the new drivers (Update 4) as available on Creative's Driver Page on 2 Dec 2006. At last it worked. A word of caution: Make sure you exit the Creative Volume Panel before installing Update 4. Otherwise, nothing will work as it should.
OK so that fixed my auxiliary effects not working.
I had to answer my MIDI controller question myself by testing with 0-27 values as the reply from support ignored this question amongst others completely. In all fairness, though, the MIDI implementation chart did tell me where to start the trial and error and reduced the test time considerably. And here's the result: Controller 92 does in fact control the strength of Aux 3 and Controller 94 controls Aux 4. There, that sentence took me like what? ...0 seconds to write.
That leaves my other 2 questions:
. Where has the presets gone under the EAX tab of the Audio Console when in Audio Creation Mode? There are 7 or 8 of them in Game mode but only a blanked out window in Audio Creation Mode.
2. Is there a better delay unit available anywhere which allows for longer delay times. The current one is actually closer to a reverb unit than a delay unit as there are many reverb units with longer delay times than this.
OK, so enough raving. Thanx for the help from support.

X-Fi elite pro, suround sound not working correc

I have a strange problem with my suround sound. I have an X-Fi elite pro sound card and 5. Z-5500 logitech speakers. Everything seems ok except my rear right speaker doesnt pick up the suround sound portion of the sound. When I play music it has sound but when testing for the suround sound that speaker gets nothing. Games are strange, the ambient sounds that are on all speakers at once work fine but when rotating around it clearly is missing the sound effects in that quadrant. I put my audigy 2 back in and everything worked ok so I know its not my speakers.
Is my soundcard defecti've or is there some setting I need to adjust?
Thanks.

It seems that you've bumped an old thread... So, did the original poster ever find a solution? I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum right now and can't that to work. I ordered an X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatality Pro, which if all works well I'll hook up to my current dri'vebay. I've heard there's no reason why it shouldn't... other than the fact that I'm running Vista of course, which doesn't have any remote functionality that I know of.

Need advice on optimizing the x-fi elite pro sett

Hi,
I am currently using SB X-Fi elite pro and Gigaworks S750. Need to have an advice especially on the THX setting optimization (bass redirection). I need to know how does this redirection work? Is it by redirecting any freq below the specified freq to the sub and the rest keep it at the sats?
The speaker itself has a build in cross-over right? Is it possible to know what is the freq? and what is the advantage over setting the freq at THX recommendation?
Appreciate the help.
Thanks

The Gigaworks have their own internal bass management like 98% of all PC speakers and you don't need to enable bass redirection on the soundcard. If you needed bass management, you would know as there would be little to no bass from yer subwoofer.
The only PC speakers that I'm aware of which needed bass management on the soundcard was the VideoLogic Digi-Theatre speakers.Message Edited by nvidiot on 0-24-2006 0:09 PM

Wrong channel distribution...Win7 64 and elite pro

2Wrong channel distribution...Win7 64 and elite proXHi folks!
I've updated my OS from a vista 32 to a 7 64bits and since then I've some problems with my Xfi Elite pro soundcard...
While listening some MP3s, the channel got mixed up and, generally I have a weird and loud noise before that occurs...
I've first thought it was a problem with foobar and its DSP but no... I still got the problem with other applications...
And when I test the channel with the audio console after getting the bug and after closing the audio software every channels seems to be correctly distributed...
I've a Z5500 kit hooked on the soundcard and I've also tried to play mp3 over the SPDIF output of the card and it seems to work fine... The problem seems to happen only when I play songs over the analog signal...
What do you think?

Hi there !
Sorry to bring back this old post from the dead, but I continue to have problems with my x-fi elite pro...As a matter of fact, I always had trouble with it !
Well to list all the problems I've have encountered :
The I/O console which seems to be dead then Suddely wake up in the world of the living.<
Sudden hissing sound coming from all of the Loudspeaker...<
Sudden loss of channels after changing the mode. The problem only settle after several reboots<
Wrong channels distribution with the analog config.<
Freeze my PC @ start up or BOSD ( on a vista x86).<
windows suddenly doesn't recognize it. And like the console, the card suddenly wakes up after several reboots.<
I've bought this card in 2006 I believe, and it has been the black sheep in my rig ever since...but it's also irremplacable because of its I/O console ! ( and to be honnest, for its sound quality when I've no problem with the card ).
As far as I can remember, I didn't had any problem as long I was on a good'ol xp. But I've moved on a 7 now...
Well, just to be sure, there's no way to use the console on the lastest fatalty? If not, do you know of a more recent card with both Spdif coax in/out and RCAs on it's
I thought of buying a Home cinema, but I would keep a good sound quality without laying to much bucks for it. And, moreover everything is in a small room...and my Z5500 is the perfect match for the setup of this room.

Help! with X-fi Elite Pro 1. Toslink issue. 2. Phono issue

:Help! with X-fi Elite Pro . Toslink issue. 2. Phono issue? I'm using a Toslink in and out to a JVC receiver. I can play and record computer sounds that play from creative external box through a Toslink into the receiver then into my receiver speakers. However, I can't record any other sound coming out of my receiver through Toslink into back of box.
As a separate issue, I can't get the phono jacks on the external box to work. I've tried it with a direct connect from turntable to external box, with and without turntable preamp on, and with the creative box switch on phono and then with the box switch on aux. I then tried it from line out of receiver to aux in in the back and then to line in in frnt of box. Nothing worked. When I tried those setups, I tried it with toslink out of receiver and then with Toslink in receiver.
I'm using a Dell Vista 64 computer.
Any help with these issues would be appreciated.

Wow, guess nobody can help me out here......

Elite Pro doesn't work with 5.1 setti

Hi, recently i have changed my card from xtreme audio to elite pro
It was working fine during xtreme audio when i set all to 5.; when i changed to elite pro, the 5. setting doesn't work.
The center speaker sound comes out from woofer, and the woofer is working as it should..
My only problem now is center speaker doesn't work with elite pro.. Is there any solution?
I have newest drivers, all installed well without error; I have check all the jacks and they are well plugged..
I have tested all the speakers, no errors, changed back to my old card and it works well with 5.
Please help?

For some reason, this resolved itself today.
It still occurred with 10.10.2, and I returned to the Apple Store to have it looked at. After checking, their assessment was that it was something to do with Yahoo servers, for that account. They referred me to Yahoo.
This morning, the Inbox loaded!!! The issue is now fixed. I hope others are seeing their issues resolved as well.

X-Fi Elite pro (recording questi

Hi,
I am looking at getting the X-Fi Elite pro, mainly for music/recording purposes. One of the important features I am looking for in a pc sound system is the ability to record VOICE and MUSIC at the same time (as in the Karaoke environment).
Currently my Asus P4P 800-E Dlx board has the onboard AC97, but for some reason I am not able to record voice and music in "stereo mix" mode, and of course doing Karaoke on an onboard sound system is not the best thing.
My question is: will I be able to record both voice and music (in stereo mix mode, or however way it might be) with this X-Fi Elite pro?
With the price I am going to pay for, I really want to make sure I get what I am looking for.
I hope all of the pros here can give me some light. Thank you!

Hi jutapa,
Thank you for your reply to my question. sorry it took me awhile to get back to the forum. I finally bought the system (just a few days ago).
To answer your question: yes, I meant recording with the background music from my pc + the mic, both at the same time as I used to be able to with 'stereo mix' mode. I can hook up external devices for recording. but what I want for a quick recording is just that. what puzzled me was that I used to be able to record that before I reinstalled my windows xp pro. however, talking of what is now, with this new xfi elite system, I am still unable to record the background music + mic from my pc. it's a little frustrating when I couldn't find the cause for why I lost that function, and now after having bought the new sound system, I still cannot do what I want to do.
Has anyone here able to do recording with both background music + mic internally from pc with this xfi elite system? If so, please shed some lights. it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

X-Fi Elite Pro Line Out?

Is there a way to get a line out signal from my x-fi elite pro? I need to run a signal to my preamplifier.
Thanks!

DACs:Line-outs (PCI card): (Four) Cirrus Logic CS4398 D/A converters (92 kHz, 20 dB)Headphones-output (Console): Cirrus Logic CS4392 D/A converter (92 kHz, 4 dB)
That's true.
I've tested it myself and notice the difference right away on headphone out.
I have also opened the I/O External pannel and found out that Line-IN 2, Line-IN 3, AUX3 IN has Texas Instruments ADC converter PCM804 while Line-in has AKM AK5394A ADC.
AKM AK5394A is much much more better than TI PCM804 but line-in has more noise floor when i tested it in sound forge without any connection noise floor was at -70dB while Line-IN 2 was at -90.3dB
Overall i use my X-Fi Elite Pro as audio router for routing and recording music/voice so i need lower noise floor.

X-Fi Elite Pro, Megaworks 510 and Vi

I have just clean installed Vista Ultimate 32 bit on my new computer with an X-Fi Elite pro. I am trying to connect to my Megaworks 50 system via the orange digital cable from the flexi jack on the card. THis is the cable that looks like a headphone jack on each end. Anyway...no sound. I have the playback device set to SPDIF Out. If I change the playback device to Speakers and plug in my headphones I do get sound. The digital cable worked with my previous Soundblaster card and these speakers. Any ideas??Thanks,John

Hi guy`s
Just had the same problem , and got i resolved by going into my startup tab`s on Windows XP.
Foregive me for explaning in English here , i`m sitting on a totally different language ,,,but i`ll give it a try.
Go to ..:START /RUN/...then type in..."msconfig" ..without quotes...hit ENTER ...go to the START TAB and check that
DDLML.exe*RCSystem* is checked on you startup tabs.
This task is the actual module loader for the remote to function , and if you dont know how to start it manually
right away , just reboot your PC and you should be good to go.
That`s all folks
Hope you get it working .
