Brand new XFI Elite PRO on INSPIRE T6100 -- Bad sound

Hi,
I just bought a new PC :?MB: Gigabyte GA-965G-DS3CPU: Intel E6600RAM: 2Go DDRII Kingston 800Mhz HyperXOS: XP Media CenterSOUND: XFI Elite PRO + T600 5. Well, everythinf went ok through building the computer (my job) and installing Windows and all the drivers etc ... but the sound is crap ... I can hear everything such as hard dri've spinning in the speakers, the sound cracks,? volume is very low. Extremely disapointing ... Of course I updated drivers to latest version ... checked cables, connexions, tried to plug a headset instead of 5. .. still bad sound ?Any idea for me ??

Well,
I went back to gigabyte.com.tw and this time, there were new BIOS available ... I still don't understand why they weren't there yesterday ..
Anyway, I updated to F6 (latest version) and ... sound is still very low, crappy, crackkkkking and so on ..
I'm gonna throw this through the window :'(

  • XFI Elite Pro to Inspire 5500 speakers, no rear so

    I have an xFI Elite Pro and some Inspire 5500 Digital Surround Sound speakers. If I initiate a test from the remote that controls the Speaker's "brain" I get all surround points working just fine, so I know they are connected properly from there. From the "brain" I have the /8th" cable that came with the speakers for a digital connection to a soundcard connected to the flexjack on the back of the soundcard part of the xFI and it is set to Digital I/O. Whenever I initiate a test from the Creative Software, when it says "rear right" and "rear left", it comes out the front speakers. I have the CMSS turned off . I have the decoding turned off on the sound card cause the speakers take care of the decoding. What am I doing wrong? Please help, thanks.

  • Solution to common Windows 7 Xfi Elite Pro installation problem

    Solution to common Windows 7 Xfi Elite Pro installation problems Hello,? I have just solved what I understand to be a common problem when upgrading a machine with an Xfi Elite Pro from XP to 64 bit Windows 7. Apparently the console control software for the "older" PCI Soundblaster cards for Win7 isn't done yet. If you've installed Win 7, updated the product identification module and run the new driver that you can find easily on Creative's support site and you still have no sound, try going to the Control Panel in windows. Switch the display to the "small icons" option and select "sounds".
    Choose the "playback" tab. You should find a list of possible sound output devices that exist on your machine. You need to highlight the Xfi on that list and then click the "Set as default" button at the bottom of the screen. That should do it for you.
    It did it for me.

    C The 'solution' you provided only touches a very small fraction of the problems with Creative sound cards. Only very unexperienced users may not control which sound card is choosen by their operating system. Many of us work with PCs for decades, being used to modify the registry and so on. The drivers of Creative are of an unexcusable low quality.

    I have a brand new mac book pro, I want to plug my iPhone into it & transfer everything from it onto the mac book, pics,music etc. I'm worried if I plug my phone into the Computer I will loose everything. How can I make sure this doesn't happen?

    When you plug your iPhone to Mac,click the Summary button and select “Manually manage music and videos".Then iTunes would never delete your original music.
    The most easy way to solve your problems is to move your music to your new Mac.Please refer to this article from Apple.com

  • Brand New Mac Book Pro with defective screen

    Hi Guys,
    Does anyone here, purchased a brand new Mac Book Pro 13-inch: 2.9GHz with a defective screen?
    I bought mine, Last June 14. I just noticed the defect last June 29 and returned it to where I purchase it at june 30.
    There are somewhat 'black smudges' on the left part of the screen. I'm a graphic designer, so i know that this is a big issue for me.
    Also, the fact that I'm just using it for 5 times I think, since I bought it, and there's already an issue.
    At first, i was battling with the customer service (from where i bought it), They wouldn't want to give me replacement, because I already exceeded their 7 day return policy. But I'm not giving in, so then they just told me, they would send it to apple service.
    It took a week for a progress, then I just got a call from Apple, that they didn't saw it either (the defect). Then I told the guy what I saw.
    It's only visible with black background and with the lights turned off.
    So he called again and told me that he also saw it, and told me that they would replace the Monitor.
    I'm new with this, is it normally ok, that they will just replace the monitor? I mean, would it still work properly, now that they've
    opened it and replaced only the defective part?
    Hope you guys can give me your thoughts.
    Thank You.

    Not sure what part of the world you are in but Apple has a 14 day return policy. But even with the 14 days you exceeded that time limit. So the only option is to replace the defective part and not the whole system. This is standard operating practices for any manufacturer once you have exceeded the return period.

  • Brand new mac book pro very slow

    I just purchased a brand new mac book pro 13" with and i5 processor, 2.3ghz, 4 gb ram, running osX Lion. I bought it to replace my 2008 mac book pro that had a failing hard drive and a bad logic board. So i bought this new mac book 2 days ago, set it up and everything was great until i went to surf the net. My internet is so slow, webpages take ages to load about 5 minutes or more, same with videos (like on youtube). So I tried my old mac book and the internet was running great on that one, same with my roomates old macbook, my boyfriends pc and numerous other devices connected to my wifi (a nook, a tablet, and an iphone). So i checked my network settings everything was good, its was functioning fine according to network diagnostics. After googling this I switched my dns to googles public dns which made no difference either. When plugged directly into the router via ethernet the internet surfs like a champ. If the wireless internet preforms like this my new macbook is somewhat useless to me .Help! What could be the problem? Or did apple just really screw up the airport on these new macs? My old mac was a beast speed wise, i firgure the new mac should put the older ones to shame. What gives?

    I suggest use the ethernet cable. They're much faster to transfer. You only need to connect your imac and mbpr directly to each other using the cable.  There is no need for the wifi if you connect the ethernet cable.

    Brand new 15" MacBook Pro Retina - unplugged from Thunderbolt Display and Keyboards today find keyboard alpha-numerics not working; except the function keys, delete key, tab key, command/ctrl/shift/alt/fn and arrow keys; and 7/8/9/u/o/j/l produce cursor nudges.

    It's a new machine - and the Thunderbolt Display is meant to work with it. You need to just make an appointment at your local Apple Store and have them fix whatever is wrong.
    If you like, you could always try a SMC reset and a PRAM/NVRAM reset to see if either of those will get your keyboard back in working order...

  • My brand new mac book pro, which I've only turned on about 20 times since I purchased it, start making a loud constant clicking noise today -- it sounded like a combination of a computer notification tone and a weird druming sound.  What's the problem?

    Is this thing a piece of junk?  My MacBook Air is running fine.  I've literally only charged the MacBook Pro battery a handful of times -- it's brand new.

    At these prices don't screw around.  Just call applecare to arrange an appointment at the nearest apple store. 
    Alternatively post in the Macbook Pro forum.  This is the Mac Pro forum.
