Any new product coming out so

Using Wikipedia I knew that X-Fi is the latest Sound Blaster; and probably the dominant out of all of them.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster
Looking at the release dates for each kind of Sound Card I'm seeing the last one released was October of 2006 entitled "Xtreme Audio"; same as "Xtreme Gamer"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster_X-Fi
Now my present card is a Fataty card which means that I have a 2005 version; the year is now 2008 and I guess I was just thinking that its time for an upgrade, afterall Windows Vista is out and its always a headache to keep our 5. + speaker system in sync with the Control Panel.
An example is tonight, I was listening to a music clip and I wasnt hearing much noise at all coming out of my rear speakers during the music. So I tried all formats and even though the "test your sound here" works just fine the true music still wasnt working.
I ended up selecting "default" or basically restore all defaults and I heard the music this time around
But I guess what Im asking or seeking is that I have no control over the volume level of my rear speakers. Maybe current cards; as the one that was released in October of 2006 one does have control over each of the speaker types in which you can make it louder than the other; I'm not sure.
I know I have the latest drivers for my current card but I'm not seeing any accessible way to adjust it; the volume in the rear speakers are very low.
The speakers I also have are new as well; bought them last August when I rebuilt this PC (sound card was just a carryover)
So anyways as the subject says:
Are we gonna get an announcement soon on a new Sound Card coming from Creative Labs? Isnt it due time?
and if the answer is like "probably in 200" or something then answer me this? (please)
Does the newest cards, the ones that was released in October of 2006 "Xtreme Gamer" does it have control functions where one can control the volume of the rear or center or basically each channel and does it fully support vista (lol I know?2 in question hehe)
Thanks for the input.

Well I figured out how to adjust the volume for each channel.
Open the Creative Console Launcher (if not at top of monitor; go to programs and creative and console launcher)
Hopefully?it should be in Entertainment mode; go to the Speaker Selection Icon
Once loaded you should see options such as: Speaker Selection Type; Bass Settings and Advanced Settings, Hit Advanced Settings
There you go, now you can adjust the volume for each channel in correspondence to your Speaker Selections; course I think the default is 79% each channel
However I'm still curious if there will be a newer Sound Card

  • Any Newer OS coming out soon?

    Hello,
    I have been running OS Leopard, and wanted to (obviously need to) upgrade my OS.  But before I spend the money (I'm a college student so every dollar counts), is there any new OS coming out soon (as in the next few months?). 
    Thanks,
    Chelsey

  • When is new imac coming out

    When is the new imac coming out?

  • With the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

    with the new ipad coming out soon, why should I buy the ipad 2?

    I can only echo what Pogo says about buying based on what it does today.
    3 weeks ago I bought a Mac Mini. A new Mac Mini model has been rumoured to come out anywhere between the same week I made my purchase and the end of August. None's been released as yet.
    I wanted one in the week of June that I bought mine so I bought it based on the fact that it did what I wanted and I couldn't imagine anything which could be added that I'd want - my MacBook Pro doesn't have Thunderbolt so the most likely addition isn't really going to be much use for me.
    Basically you have to buy what you what based on what's out at the the time.
    I can promise that within seconds of the iPad3 being released, the web will be full of rumours about the next one!

  • When is the new imac coming out?

    When is the new imac coming out?

    I heard that it is this Friday (21.5 ")  But who knows for sure.  I am really dying to see it and see if it is truly 75% less reflective.  The only reason I don't have a mac is because of the reflective/mirror screens. I just cannot work on them. I am praying that the claim of 75% reflective is very obvious.

  • Running v36.0.1 and Firefox is VERY SLOW, how do I speed it up or is there a New Version coming out to correct the problem?

    Upgraded to v36, then v36.0.1, I still have the same problem. Running SLOW. I tryed the Refresh option and didn't work. All it did was mess up all my Settings which I had to correct. Does anyone know if there's a Newer Version coming out to correct this problem? First it was only on my Laptop, now I have the same problem on both my Laptop and my Desk Top. Please Help! Thank You for your time and assistance.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.

    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to install for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • When are the new iMacs coming out?

    I want to buy a new iMac but I'm not sure if I should wait to get the next revision.  Are they coming out soon?

    History has shown us this for the last several iMacs...
    21.5" and 27" was introduced in October of 2009
    The next revision was July 2010..
    You should be able to see the pattern from above. If you look back further for different models you will find other similar patterns.
    We never really know for sure until Apple releases the next version.

  • Does MSI have any new boards coming?

    Hi guys. I was wondering if any of you knew if MSI had any new i7 boards on the way. I ask, because only two boards currently fit my slot needs: The original Eclipse SLI, and an Asrock I'd rather not touch with a ten foot pole. I need a board that can run three GTX285s (not tri-SLI, just plain SLI with an extra) and a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro PCI interface card. The two boards I mentioned will allow me to run the graphics cards without BLOCKING the PCI slot, but...
    Eclipse SLI: Supported Ram frequency is too low for my tastes. I'd like something that supports at least 1800. I also have zero need for the X-Fi card (or any onboard audio for that matter.)
    Asrock: It's Asrock. Enough said.
    I will not be ditching my Elite Pro. I bought it for the midi interface, for my keyboard, and it has served me well. Have you guys seen any news about future products? Or, and I hate to ask it here, do you have any recommendations for another board brand that meets my needs?

    Quote
    lipse SLI: Supported Ram frequency is too low for my tastes. I'd like something that supports at least 1800.
    Please note that the memory controller is part of the processor and there is currently no Core i7 CPU released by Intel that natively supports more then DDR3-1066.  That is why even the DDR3-1333 and DDR3-1600 ratings on the product site are actually OC ratings (system stability cannot be guaranteed in all configurations at these speeds settings).  It actually does not matter what board you go for, the memory controller of the processor will be the same and have the same native specifications.  Even if you would be able to find a board that mentions DDR3-1800 support (I am not even sure if there are even industry specifications for this kind of clock speed), it does not mean that the CPU will be able to handle that.
