BioShock 1.1 + EAX + Vista 64bit + X-Fi Xtreme Music = no

I've updated BioShock to v. and EAX option is completely greyed out (disabled). It's suppose to do like this when no Creative hardware is present. But X-Fi XM is there for sure and EAX option should be selectable. I've also tried ALchemy but it doesn't change anything. EAX option is still greyed out.
My system:
2.8.0000 BETA drivers
Vista Home Premium 64bit
X-Fi Xtreme Music (Retail)
6 GB of RAM (other hardware is not important i think except RAM capacity which seems to be problematic all the time)
I want EAX option to work in BioShock!

I'm well aware that i'm basically screwed if i cannot select the modes (meaning it's basically games fault, if it's not able to properly detect whether i have EAX/OpenAL capable card or not).
Also, since when Xtreme Music isn't a full featured X-Fi card? Rebadged Audigy? Where were you living for the past 5 years huh?
Only X-Fi card thats not really X-Fi is Xtreme Audio. And i'm 5000% sure i have the Xtreme Music version (i even changed it for Retail version because reseller sold me Dell OEM card at first). I'm in the hardware stuff anyway so i'm very sure it's the right one.
I've also downgraded drivers back to 2.5.0006 without any change (yes i used setup.exe and erased all shared files and later used Guru3D Driver Sweeper).
It's funny though that out of BioShock's milions of copies sold there are only 2 guys complaining about this? Thats super funny.
Looks like ppl use integrated crappy audio chips, they don't care or know about EAX or they haven't even updated the game to v..
Yey...

Windows vista 64 bits + xfi xtreme music + logitech g51 + SWAPS CHANN

Hello ! I am heber from argentina! bs as! federal discrict! Hey guys! you are soo cool! you help me a lot of times! but now i have to write to you becausa i dont get a solid solution to my problem. I search and see that there are some users with the same problem but i dont see a solid answer. The things that i do to try the fix the problem was clean and unninstall the drivers and soft with tools like driver sweeper etc and install the last driver but the result is the same. The only thing i found like a temporal solution when the problem happend its do the the assignement in the panel thx. I want to ask you if there is a solution, a permanent one...plz! becausa i am going to the thx panel like 30 times per day!!! i am going crazy! For more details i copy and edit a message from a user that have the same problem that i , read it plz : Ever since installing the latest drivers, 2.5. or whatever they are, I have sound and 5. support now using an X-Fi Xtreme music with Vista 64 bit (2GB), The card just randomly swaps channels on me. What I mean is, if I start from a fresh boot, I'll get all 5 speakers working in a 5. movie or video game or mp3. Shortly after though, it will swap all the sound to only the back channels and then only teh front channels, and sometimes only the center channel. Most of times it does in pairs , meaning that it wont be like front left and back right, always both back speakers and then both front speakers. Either way, it totally breaks the surround sound and it's rather annoying to hear the sound travel from front to back etc. Is there some way to fix this or anyone know the cause of this I'm about done with Creative and their crappy support for Vista. I might have to go back to on board 5. support if this keeps up. Well if you need something else! please let me know! and if you give me a hand i will be very happy ^^ . Thank you and a big hugh from argentina! PD: PLZ CREATIVE! YOUR SOUNDCARDS ARE THE BEST ! IN MY OPINION! BUT YOUR DRIVERS AND SUPPORT NEEDS MORE ATTENTION! PLZ!!! DO SOMETHING! FOR YOUR BEST!!!!!!

THIS IS A 3RD PARTY METHOD AND OF COURSE THERE IS NO SUPPORT !!!
BEFORE YOU PROCEED PLEASE UNISTALL EVERYTHING AND USE DRIVERSWEEPER OR DRIVERCLEANER TO CLEAN YOUR REGISTRY TOO !!!
Ok here's a new alternative way that new driver will work 100% both XP and Vista (32/64)
install the 2007 suite (please do custom and do not install the audio drivers except everything else)

(please burn the suite on a CD or DVD)(some applications have been moddified from the original 2007suite-pax, please re-download the suite!!!)
Ok after the installation of suite is finished do not restart your PC and install the following drivers:

Now you can restart the PC. Tested with all versions of windows (Windows XP / Vista both 32 and 64 bit !!!)

How to apply eax effects with x-fi xtreme music on my mp3 collection?

Hi. I am new in pc audio but as I understand it, eax is hardware effect and can be applied only in real time to any audio source. I find amphitheatre effect fantastic so I would like to know if there is any way to record my mp3s with applied effect in order to listen them on my car audio player (it would be some kind of DSP option in a car). The easiest (and fastest) solution would be to use Adobe Auditon or some similar software but I want EAX. I tried to use "audio creation mode" and in "what you hear" mode, record in real time my mp3s with "enable eax" option checked but no effect was applied (I checked "monitor recording" mode). Any experiences? Thanks in advance.

Because of the EAX is in output, you'll need to use "What U Hear" as recording source to get the effect added into source. This means that you need to play the data using another software than which one you're using for recording. While I was using Audigy 2, this was quite eay to do but I don't know the X-Fi ... especially if you're using Vista. Another possible method is to record the output of your card ... loopback cable Front out --> Line-In, etc.
There are also other methods available but, you'll need then to use VST/DX plugins which gives you same/better results as what you would get from X-Fi DSP even it's maybe 24-bit chip (because of the 'resolution' of the final mp3 format you're thinking of (16-bit, 44.1kHz/48kHz, 320kbps). If your collection is already stored as mp3 format files then, it's quite hard work to add those effects ... you'll need some software that imports mp3 format then add the effect you like and then export to mp3 format.
Also, the car is quite different space from room+speakers and headphones so, I suggest you to prepare some examples 1st and play those in car enviroment to get the direction needed for settings to get best possible result.

Why does my bass not work in Vista 64 with my xtreme music ca

I know the drivers are basic, but the **bleep** bass will not work when playing music or games. Hell, 5. sound doesnt work with music (itunes). Where is the option to redirect bass like in XP? XtremeMusic - X-FI.

if u install the Creative's THX SETUP CONSOLE from the windows XP cd that came with the card you can control the bass redirection

ITunes 1.6 and Windows Vista 64bit Help

I have not been able to use iTunes properly since I got a new computer with Vista 64bit. I can play music, browse iTunes Store and watch Video, but the problem comes when I try to attach my iPod Touch or try burning a CD. With the last version, it seemed that 64bit windows Vista was not supported so I just decided to wait for an upgrade. I download iTunes 1.6 from Apple.com and try to install and it says I need the 64bit iTunes Installer. Did I miss the download for it?
This is the error message I get...
This iTunes Installer is intended for 32-bit versions of Windows. It is Highly recommended that you download and install the 64-bit iTunes Installer instead.
All I need is a Link to the 64-bit Installer because I cant find it.

What's supposed to happen is that when you go to the download page, http://www.apple.com/itunes/download, it's supposed to recognize that you're running 64 bit Vista and then you get the 64 bit iTunes installer. But I've seen reports that FireFox users are only getting the 32 bit installer page.
Can you try that link with IE? And do you get a different installer then?

Vista 64bit t and itunes 7.5

I just installed Itunes 7.5 on my windows vista 64bit machine. The software loaded fine but the cd burning function doesn't work. Anyone have a solution to this problem? I know that Itunes 7.5 is not a vista 64 bit piece of software. Notwithstanding this fact, it is working fine except for the cd burning function.

ICloud wont work on Windows Vista 64bit

Hey there,
Ive been using iCloud with my iPhone 4, iPad and my MacBook Pro since it came out and it all works perfect.
Now I wanted it to run on my Windows Vista 64bit Desktop PC, to sync with Safari, Outlook etc.
My problem is: Everytime I start iCloud and confirm my username and password, iCloud is just shutting down saying "iCloud is no longer working" (in German: iCloud funktioniert nicht mehr)
I reinstalled it severall times and its always the same error...MobileMe has the same error by the way...Ive searched so long on the web and in other forums but no one had a clue...Hopefully you can help me!
Thanks,
p0ly

Hmmm. No, not exactly, but close enough (for me). Sorrry, in my rush I klutz'd the response. First I had MicroSoft do a clean install of 64 bit Offfice on my 64 bit Vista, then I uninstalled MobileMe, and iCloud, then reinstalled iCloud in that order. Oh...and by the way ... this was on 2 of my Vista machines. My virgin Win 7 machine had no issues at all with 32 bit.
The salient point I (regretably) missed in my first reply was to clean up the all references to Outlook in the registry. The tech tought the problem was related to keys for a (long ago) trial version of Office; Tho that was speculation on his part.
One thing is clear: The Apple tech said MobileMe has been replaced by iCloud and to remove it!
In the process, I learned that each (4) MS tech's stated, "Outlook has no issues, the problem is with Apple." I had to force them to do a clean install ... after failing with 2 techs I took a harder stance - happy I did. One told me they are under pressure to keep their calls under 15 minutes. Uninstall/cleanup/reinstall took ~2 hours.
Appologies p0ly,

Vista 64bit can't find driver for networked Laserjet 3390.

I originally posted the following in the wrong section so I posted a retraction there and am reposting in this networking section. ===== I have an all-in-one Laserjet 3390 printer. It's connected to my WinXP Pro PC via USB and works fine as a printer. I don't use the scanner since I have a Canonon scanner that I use. I bought a Dell Studio 1537 laptop that came with Vista Home Premium 64bit installed. I networked the laptop to the WinXP PC via ethernet cables and a Belkin router. I can transfer files between both PCs with no problems. Now I'm trying to print on the 3390 from the Laptop. When using the Vista laptop, I can see the 3390 on the network. But when I try to connect to it, a window pops up saying: ***** The server for the 'HP LaserJet 3390 Series PCL6' printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network administrator or original equipment manufacturer for the correct printer driver.***** So I selected Vista 64bit on the HP website and downloaded the Universal Print Driver HPUPD47PCL664.exe. Unzipped that file in a folder on the Vista laptop. Then connected to the 3390 printer again from the Vista laptop as I did before and when the pop up occured, I browsed to the folder that contains the unzipped UPD driver. I see several .inf files which is what the install program wants but when I click OK, a pop up says: ***** Windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver. Contact your administrator for help locating and installing a suitable driver. ***** Any ideas?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

mrlaw10, You do not need the HP software since your printer is already on the network.
First, do a Windows Update. Next,
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices and Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's host name (found on the printer's network configuration report the generated above). Click Next.
If you get a message about Additional Port Information Required, then the printer was not found using the host name. You can go back and retry or using the printer's IP address instead of the host name.
7. Select HP or Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Make a choice and click Next.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

Windows Vista 64bit OS, NVIDIA and other questions.

I have a few questions I hope someone can answer.
Can I run 64bit Vista in Bootcamp?
If I wipe my harddisk and install 64bit vista and have a Windows only machine would that allow me to use different NVIDIA grpahics cards such as 9600GT?
I would imagine that the limitation of graphics cards are only due to driver compatability with MAC and qualification process?
If I wish to expand storage are there any sub 1TB drives that can use a 32MB cache? It seems only the 1TB/32MB cache is qualified with MAC. Is this another limitation that I could get round by running Vista 64bit.
I am not trying to start a flame war. I am only looking for sensible answers.
Thank you.

Can I run 64bit Vista in Bootcamp?
Yes. Both the computer and OS X are fully 64-bit compliant.
You can install a second video card that does not work with OS X but does work with Windows. Third-party video cards do not work with OS X because they do not have the EFI boot ROM required by OS X. They will, however, work when you boot into Windows. You do not need to convert the Mac Pro to a Windows-only machine which would seem a waste of perfectly good hardware and software.
You can install any SATA hard drive in the Mac Pro. There is no limitation with regard to size. Cache, however, is a feature of the drive and not the computer. Apple does not "qualify" drives for use with the computer.
These questions have been discussed in the Mac Prp fourms so I suggest you search the forums for other discussions of the topics.

Windows vista 64bit shutdown macbook pro

Hi,
I a having trouble getting my macbook pro (3,1) to poweroff after a sccessful shutdown while using vista 64bit. The same happens when I do a reboot. The system appears to successfully powerdown ready for the actual 'reboot' or 'poweroff' but it doesnt do either, and I am left with a black screen indefinately, and I need to manually hold down the power button to turn the thing off. Any ideas whats wrong? I didnt have this problem with windows xp.

Check your disk drive (chkdsk). If it wasn't having problems before, it might now, and you may need to use a restore point
http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/127417-system-restore-points-stop-xp-dual-boot -delete.html
boot from DVD and use system restore, or follow tips for troubleshooting Vista.

System File Check is also useful.

Windows Vista 64bit and Zen, Video Convertsion

We just updated out computer to one with Windows Vista 64bit.
Everything was fine until we tried to convert a .mov file to place it on the Zen. First it said we needed Quicktime ver 7 (which apparently the original video was created with). Tried to install that, to no avail. Turns out Quicktime 7 is not supported under Vista 64bit, according to Apple.
I then found on another message board of people having trouble running iTunes on Vista 64. Use the following link:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
You can then select the 64bit version of iTunes.
After the install the video conversion worked perfectly.
Hope this helps others.
Thanks

Palm Centro / Windows Vista 64bit

Has anyone figured out how to sync music to a Palm Centro using Windows Vista 64bit? My understanding is that there is not a USB driver for Vista 64. I can already HotSync my Centro using Bluetooth, that works (albeit slow) but can't sync music and as anyone with a Centro knows, removing the memory cards is inconvenient.
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Even if there was a way to sync music files to your Centro from a Vista desktop, music files tend to be large and take a long time to sync. The best way to put music files onto your card with any operating system is by dragging & dropping onto the /audio folder on your card with a card reader. Removal of the micro SD card from the Centro isn't all *that* inconvenient. Not like you need to do it very often.
