Applications for Xtreme Audio C

Vista Ultimate - 32bit and Xtreme Audio Card... will the applications on the ISO CD download work in Vista ?

Ah- can't edit here? I wanted to add that I know the Line In and my turntable are working fine since I recorded the record I was playing on my hard dri've and it plays back fine from there.

    looking for danial k drivers

    HI jmacguire
    Sorry if i'm Wrong , but there is two versions available for Xtreme Audio one is PCI Version not True Xtreme Audio and Other One is PCI Express I think it's true Xtreme Audio ,and the PCI Express Version has Different Audio Chip Inside,and may they are using different driver versions....... U should Check it on Creative Drivers Used For Xtreme Audio PCI Version And PCI-Express Version Is different, Daniel Pack Has only PCI versions....

  • Xtreme Audio pricing pol

    The law of Offer and Demand ...
    "You get what you pay for" ...
    OK, these things sound straight and of uni'versal value right?
    Then why have I seen such wild price variations for the most infamous "X-Fi", the Xtreme Audio?
    The full, boxed version topped at nearly Eur 70 just two months ago, more than a bulk Xtreme Gamer or even a bulk Xtreme Music. Not a price you'd associate with a "crap" soundcard, to use a certain "Super Contributors" words.
    Other people reported paying anything from Eur 30 to 50 for a bulk version (at least Eur 30 is near the price of a bulk Audigy 2 SE, which makes sense since the only difference is a sticker and a CD-ROM with updated (?) drivers.
    So really, what's the deal here?
    <i>Edit: current "official" pricing policy for Xtreme Audio (from Creative's own sites) seems to be $69.99 (I assume this refers to the boxed version) while for Europe it varies wildy from Eur 63.95 for Greece, Eur 66.49 (France), and Eur 69.90 for Germany, up to a round Eur 70.00 for Italy!
    Apart from the now huge difference between $ and Eur ( you can't really treat them : ...), it's like paying for an Audigy 2 SE at 2x-3x the price, unless I'm missing something here.</i>Message Edited by CreativeSkeptic on 05-09-200702:2 PM

    It could be very well an example that kind of sales tactic where something evidently poorly specified is sold at a price close to or even higher than something obviously superior.
    It is necessary to have both items on display, preferably near,and display the features of each (without ofc boasting that one rocks and the other sucks balls, you generally let the customer figure that part out).
    Often a third, even better specified product is placed on the same display, but at a price higher than both the previous two, so if the first one was supposed to look "crappy", this one is supposed to look "too much for you".
    The (intended) result is increasing the sales of the "mid tier" product, which appears much more convenient than either the "crappy" or the "too much for you" one.
    I don't recall the exact name of that marketing tactic (perhaps "underdog marketing"), but it's very common in large malls and consumer electronics chains.
    E.g. selling retail Xtreme Audio and bulk Xtreme Gamer for nearly the same price, while (ideally) everyone can check and compare the specs, makes the Xtreme Gamer appear much superior and more convenient, and makes the Xtreme Audio the "underdog".
    Ofc, there's the twist that if people "fall for it", you can ALSO manage to sell some Xtreme Audios despite the (obvious to everyone?) poor specs (which, again, are only GENTLY hinted at, as good marketing dictates), you can make some insane profits. You're practically selling an Audigy SE at 3x the price...which probably means a much greater profit margin, while getting rid of old stock. Just brilliant
    I can't really find any other, more reasonable explanation for this...

  • Driver Version Not Found" Error when installing drivers for X-fi Xtreme audio

    I recently bought the game Bioshock off steam and have been unable to play as it crashes as soon as I try to launch it. After doing some digging around I found out it was a sound problem. When I was looking at the drivers for my sound card (Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio) I noticed that the driver called:?XFXA_PCDRV_LB__04_0079.exe has a fix for Bioshock. However when I install the driver I get the error "Driver version not found". I am positi've it is the correct driver for my sound card. I am on Windows 7 64bit.

    Hey!
    I have Vista Ultimate x64 and I ran windows update couple days ago. There was a new update for my xtreme audio pci-e. I installed it and now my driver version in creative software update is .3.2. Before i updated i ran creative's own software update. It didn't find any new drivers. I was WTF. I think that new driver fixed my volume problem. I had problem's when there was a deep bass in a song. The sound card lowered volume levels then somehow. Now that happens no more. In vista's device control it shows the driver version as 6.0.0.203. Driver date is 7 october 2008.

  • Mac Pro setup and expansions for Pro Audio applications? Help please...!

    Hello everyone.
    I want to buy an 8 core mac pro mainly for professional audio applications (Logic, plugins etc) and I have a few questions about upgrading and expansion.
    1. Since Logic is a 32 bit application and can only address up to 4GB of RAM, does it worth upgrading to 16GB or should I spend the money upgrading the processors?
    2. I've noticed that the Mac Pro has three (excluding the graphics card slot) full length PCI Express slots. Can I install a PCIe card with the shorter connectors? (like this UAD-2 DSP card: http://www.uaudio.com/products/uad/uad2quadomni/index.html)
    3. Can the Mac Pro handle hard disk drives with capacity grater than 1TB and HDDs with speeds grater than 7200 rpm internally? If yes, why Apple doesn't have these options within the Apple Store?
    I know that my questions may be a bit silly but since this is a big investment I would like to get everything right.
    Any help and advice would be very much appreciated...

    Windows 32-bit I have some bookmarked articles, but each app/process has its own 2GB address space and uses page and swap a lot more than Mac.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit
    Free memory doesn't sit idle or go to waste, even Vista/7 will cache 3-4GB to improve system performance. And it isn't released until or unless freed, not fixed or locked and someone else requests more. Mac OS and Mac Pro especially need more memory, and it does show benefits.
    A lot depends on how well written software is to take full and proper advantage. And that is ongoing.
    Snow Leopard takes a step further into 64-bit, the first time that 64-bit drivers have been attempted. Big review of Snow Leo:

  • S/PDIF options for PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card non-existant!

    Hey guys, I've been searching around for this for a while now and I still come up with anything...
    I currently have a PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card installed in my PC, and this cound card has a built-in optical output port. I have been trying to set the sound card to use this port and I still can not find anyway around it.
    I have searched the support pages and they always go back and say that I can enable audio on that port using the Digital I/O icon in the media console (I'm in Entertainment mode btw, doesn't seem like I can change that). However, I don't have that icon present in my media console. I tried upgrading drivers, updating software but still to no avail
    So right now i'm running Windows XP (32-bit) and what seem to be the latest software and drivers for this card, and none of this is making any sense to me and so I believe that I am going mad!
    I am honestly starting to believe that the port is just there for decoration...

    This seems to be a fairly common issue across out in the market.
    Do you not think it would be worth while chasing this down internal to Creative and sharing the solution with everyone?
    Pointing us one at a time to support for what should be readily available drivers doesn't make a lot of sense.

  • PLEASE HELP!! ExpressCard Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card for NOTEBO

    Hi. I'm new here and found this forum because I have problems with my?Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card for notebooks. The card itself works fine with my Dell XPS notebook but I also purchased the upgrade kit-speaker docking module that would allow me to play my 4/4. speakers. The problem lies withiin the speaker docking module (upgrade kit). I'm running Windows Vista, could this be the problem? I don't get sound from my speakers. When I run the diagnostic test I only hear sounds from my front left and right speakers and nothing from my sub and my back speakers. I hear NOTHING when I play music or anything off of my laptop. Please help with this issue. Thank you.

    That's great, but ideally i would require to purchase from the UK.....

  • What application to use for recording audio to Tiger

    I need to record audio of a 4 day conference. Can somebody recommend the best applications for this? I will plug my Mac into a mixer to get the audio and then I need to create CDs/DVDs of each session. I was thinking maybe Garage Band or Quicktime (Pro?)
    Thanks.

    I think you would have stereo Left/Right RCA plugs on the mixer board output, so you would need a cable like this to go into the line-in stereo mini jack on the PB.
    http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3452165&clickid=prod_cs
    If you don't have a mini-jack input, then you may need an external USB input device like the Griffin iMic. (there were some Mac models that did not have the line-in jack, I don't recall which ones.)

  • Explain me something about X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express version

    @Explain me something about X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express version? Hello,
    I have a question about this card.
    I've received my pc week ago and as I didn't know what to take about sound card (contrary to other pieces) and I didn't want integreted one, so I took the X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express. I didn't want to fall intro trap of X-Fi Xtreme Audio (normal) which isn't an X-Fi one in fact... BUT according to Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster_X-Fi#X-Fi_Xtreme_Audio ) Apparently mine isn't an X-Fi too? It's just a CA00 chipset one which 7. support?
    With all the problems I have (sounds leave and come back without my intervention, or begin to be like headphone mode, you know, compressed sound), I would like an answer. This card is or isn't a "real" X-Fi sound card or it's just a poor Audigy?
    Or CA00 is enough good contrary to EMU20?
    Because the titanium one isn't so expensi've, I could go for it. (Yeah I'll ask to my sellor if I can give them back my sound card if I have too many problems!)

    D Oh yeah by the way, I'll make the most of this topic to ask you why it's possible to activate the bass settings on console launcher and not in the other application "Audio Sound Panel" (sorry for my english, mine is in french) and why I can't set the bass and treble like I did on my Audigy

  • Creative Labs sent me the email announcing that the X-Fi Xtreme Audio works withVista!

    Why settle for basic, built-in sound? The ad asks.Wow look at all the specs...Speaker and Headphone connections for stereo to 7.Line In / Microphone In / Digital Out / Digital I/O / Auxiliary Line level Input?Wait a minute...this is the card I already have that I can only get drivers that makes me settle for basic sound. Better yet... I pulled it out and went back to my on board soudcard so I could get most the stuff that I am supposed to have with the X-Fi. This is what they offer for drivers for this card...Provides basic audio support and control options for sampling rate and speakers only. Looks to me that Creative is trying to dupe the public into buying products that is currently inferior.

    Well, this is the newest driver that pulls up from?the model number of the one in the ad. Doesn't look certified to me and it only supplies basic functionality. Very misleading ad.

  • X-fi Xtreme Audio card Digital I/O in Windows Vi

    Hallo,?Recently I bought an X-fi Xtreme Audio card and installed it in a PC using both Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista. The card has to work connected to a Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5700 external decoder. I installed the card and used it with no problems under windows XP SP2.
    In order to connect the card with the external decoder I had to check an option "Digital Output only" in Entertainment Mode - Speakers and headphones section. Now, on the same computer, I'm trying to use the card with Windows Vista.
    The system recognize the card and I was able to install software and driver for the card (driver version is .4.65 as "Creative System Information" application reported). If I connect an headphone to Line Out connector I can hear music playing.But I cannot select Digital I/O output.
    In Vista, Entertainment Mode hasn't any checkbox to allow "Digital Output only" to work.
    So I don't have any idea on how select Digital I/O output. Anyone can help me?Thank you in advance.

    Hi?I had the same problem, and here is the solution. ) Make sure u download the latest drivers for Vista. 2) After the installation u can goto the Control Panel> Sound Settings?You will see that there is 2devices listed. st is the Speakers configuration2nd there is the SPDIF configuration. Alter first the Speakers configuration to ur needs, enable the Digital out! > make sure u never select a frequency above 48khzAlter the SPDIF settings and test the sample rates that is given on the screen sothat u know what works with the card and not. If there are any problems leave the settings i gave exactly as instructed, and then goto urAudio Console and check there is a headphone settings and disable them. Try again thereafter!?Good Luck!Marvin?IT & Audio Specialist
