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).

Purchased XFI extreme audio PCIe for someone and it won't install on vista 32

The hardware isn't detected and thus cannot be installed. I had the same problem with my fatality titanium but at least there was a patch download for windows 7 so the card can be detected. No such patch exists for the extreme audio PCIe which means the card won't install under windows vista or windows 7.
Am I missing something or what? I have read other similar complaints about this particular XFI.

EUREKA!
Reading the bowls of the post just below, It said to make sure shockwave was enabled. It wasn't!! I enabaled it and tried my web sites and things worked fine.
Thanks to those that post helpful answers

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.

Alchemy for xfi - the product state could not be determined (error 6

as the title states I have xfi platinum & installed alchemy for xfi, tried to start it & I get "the product state could not be determined (error 60)" I click any of the links & it takes me to the buy page for the audigy alchemy.

"an error occurred while attempting to connect to the internet. (00000)" I dont have anything blocked regarding this program & have tried with my firewall disabled. Please. Help

Well I didnt follow the link, but a kind person did download an update for Windows for me, if i can find link i will post it is from USA, took over 2 hours to install/update but appears to fix this problem, i now have all the bits that windows left out back on pc, so there is a solution out there, i know the site it came from there had been 80,000 downloads in over 2 days.

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!!!!

Line-in not working with Xfi extreme audio pci-e

Hi,
im trying to play my xbox360 on my computer, the video with my winfast dtv000T is ok, but whenI try to get the sound by connecting the xbox360 sound in one of the two mic/line-in I get nothing (tried in K!TV, Winfast PVR, DScaler). Im running XP SP3. I can use teamspeak with the mic but I dont know why when I try to use the line in for sound capture its not working at all (its working with my onboard soundcard, but I prefer my xfi). I connect my xbox to the blue female jack 3.5.
here are my settings:

I dont know what to do :/
anyone have an idea what is causing this ?
thx in advance

Under applications there is this version: [url="http://forums.creative.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/soundblaster/message-id/#">Creative Console Launcher 2.40.09?[/url]
My line-in worked as this is the entertainment mode that?you can turn on your Line-in under the mixer tab. Problem is, when I play my guitar there is quite a latency that is unbearable (.05) for a guitarist. I don't know if this should bother your application for it.

Optional drivers for xfi extreme music?

Been using this card for 2+ years with no probs. Just did a fresh install of xp pro student and crysis crashes often. Some of the issues were ati vid drivers and still may be, but I was able to find and try older versions of the vid card dri'ves that have improved the issue.
I would like to try older versions of sound card drivers but between the black circles that obscure much of this forum and no listing of?older xfi drivers on creatives download page I have not found anything.
Also would like to find WHQL approved xfi drivers for xp. The only driver at creatives site pops up the "not approved" window during installation.

+ No more black circles. I can now search and read replies but to no avail. I still have not found info on whql xfi drivers or older drivers.
I have searched here and the net with poor results.
Am I missing something obvious?

What ever happened to the "What you Hear" device for XFi Exteme Audio for Vi

I thought for sure the mixer device would be added back in as part of these new driver, but apparently the minds of creative feel it is ok to take options away from a purchased product? Does anyone know of a good work around to allow for recording "What You Hear" in Vista?

wclampet,I have same problem with my X-fi extremeGamer card in vista. It means i can't use any other sound recording software to record anything off the net since there is no recording device such as 'what u hear' for it to use. Can't get support from Creative and they won't even answer the simple question of whether it's supposed to be there or not because mine is an oem dell system. For the some reason i cant?install the latest drivers from the Creative site either ( because i have an oem version ?) - though i?dont think it would solve the issue anyway really. [color="#0033ff">Anyway just to let u know there is a workround - u can record basically 'what u hear'?using?the Creative Mediasource?5 Player using the Digital -in (the only record device i have) and choosing Wav,multi-channels as the recording format. You will end up with a wav. file (big) which you can then convert using the?Creative Mediasource 5 Converter (after a lot of trial and error in choosing the right destination?format - WMA?Pro -28kbps 44kHz?5. Channel for me -
I thought it was not possible for a long while).You end up with a Windows Media Audio WMA file. If you want to convert to Mp3 is seems you have to buy another program off them. ?I am a bit annoyed at not being able to use any other?streaming audio recorder program with this soundcard? that could record direct to MP3. Would appreciate it if anyone (including anyone at Creative - I am in Singapore U know!) could tell me if?there should be a 'what u hear' recording device or not - and if not why not ???

Offical vista drivers/software for xfi extreme mus

Are they out yet?Cause i still cant get my speakers to run 5. any more on vista i have to use 4. so any help would be great thanks.

I gave instructions for how to download the whole CD via torrent here:
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=Vista&message.id=2996
Don't pay attention to the guy that claims that it's "spyware city" at that site... If you follow the instructions I gave and only download the specified .torrent file, you won't have any problems. It's when you download unpopular torrents that claim to be something unlikely (one on there claims to be an early release of crysis, for instance), that you're going to find spyware. Be careful with that and always know what you can trust. The download for the X-Fi CD is definitely safe, as I use it myself. Good luck.

Xfi Extreme audio prob

I have windows vista ultimate, i install the driver from web site and now on the microphon settings i have Chinese language.
after more reinstall its same, what can i do?

Are you sure you're actually using the X-Fi as soundcard? And not some internal card?
If you have an internal card did you disable it's In the bios if possible?

Xfi xtreme audio no treble/bass contro

i just recently bought a xfi xtreme audio soundcard..
everything works well, except i cant find the treble / bass control in neither the windows volume panel nor creative launch console.. T_T
the treble / bass?control is grayed out, is this function not available for xfi extreme audio? or?issit the drivers problem?
i just feel disappointed with it if?it'streble / bass control is disabled for this soundcard..
becos even my old time SB Li've 5. Digital Entertainment got this?function...

i mean Creative shouldn't just repackaged the old AudigySE under X-FI series just because it redesign the software/driver used...well, they can named it as 'AudigyVista' if they want to let people know it's support under Vista....just named it as X-Fi XtremeAudio' is just a big misleading, can considered as cheating also....and the introduce of XtremeAudio also expose the ugly truth that the so called 'X-FI =Xtreme Fidelity' function such as Csytalizer is just the cheap effect emulated by the software and not the function that processed by the chip at all...

My speaker installation (car audio in home with xfi extreme!!) pictures see this!!

This is what i do with creative products to put it to the test of time.... This pc has everything...esp a hell sound system!!!Creative this is for u... PS... The Specs is below

XFI Extreme Music workaround for hanging and lock

Well I think I found a workaround for all the problems with my new XFI XM card.
I uninstalled it by activating a System Restore point to just before I installed the drivers with the Installation CD.
Then I rebooted and when the Add New Hardware prompt popped up as it detected the installed XFI card I made sure my XFI install disk was in the dri've and went through the wizard. It located the drivers it needed on the install disk. Finished the installation and rebooted.
Been running my system ever since, bout 0 hours now, also played Rise of Legends for about 2 hours straight (and if anyone knows how buggy ROL can be, thats no small feat), ran Itunes, all the normal stuff I do and not one glitch or hangup since. Even with about 50+ units duking it out in ROL I had momentary spots where the sounds seemed to bleed together but hey, with all that stuff going on and no lockup or BOOM BOOM BOOM starting up non stop, I'm a happy camper.
Granted I didn't install any of the other fancy software from the install disk, but this is much better, at least it works with no locku
ps.
Hope this maybe helps anyone else who at least wants a functional system.
Have a good one.

Hi KokChoy, thanks for the reply. The reason I am asking is that others seem to be having the same issue with the Vista CD available online and seems to relate only to the extrememusic. Has the CD available online been updated since release It appears as though the online CD is for all XFI cards (except extreme audio). I was under the assumption that this would be the same CD which was distributed through retail with Xfi product's. The CD which I received with my extremegamer does have the drivers for the extrememusic as I pointed vista to the CD to search for drivers and it did indeed locate and install as an extrememusic.
Not meaning to sound rude so I appologize in advance if I do but upon researching this I have found a number of posts but they all seem to contain "may not", "might", "should" or something similar. I was hoping to get some form of official response about the status of the install CD and specifically the extrememusic before ordering and paying shipping and handling for something which may end up being of no use to me.
Thanks.

CD-ROM Audio Connector on XFI-Extreme Music Addit

Hi Guys,?I was looking at the specs on the XFI-Extreme Music Addition card. I do not see any mention of an internal connector to connect the CD/DVD rom to the sound card for listening to audio CDs. Does this card not have such a connector? How do you listen to audio CDs without such a cable connecting these devices. Thanks in advance?

Hi Stormy 3?Had that unchecked. Thanks? a lot. Now I have learnt something new. I always thought you needed that cable. And the Audigy ZS 2 was the first sound card I had that came with a cable to connect to the digital slot on the ROM dri've. All the other cards I had only had the analogue cable. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
