Creative fatal1ty pro series problem

I use this soundcard and something really odd happens...
Whenever I talk to anyone thru my headset (microphone attached to headphones) they hear WHATEVER is playing on my PC. ANYTHING.
I have actually got an external mic and moved it far away from my headphones and continued to broadcast myself and they still heard it, so it was not the microphone picking up the noise, its the soundcard broadcasting.
Is there something I can do to stop this? Its really annoying cause in Skype it will drown out the other person so i have to mute whatever is playing to hear them...

I have the HS-200, and that happens for me, about once a month after 00's of hours of use. When it does, I do a hard reset of the microphone using a paperclip and that gets it working again.
Although the first year I had it, I had no problems. This has been a new issue that started recently.

  • Problems regarding my Creative Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset

    Hello Creative
    I have had this headset for a while now - and I'm pretty satisfied.
    After 2-3 hours of use, my mic as well as sound makes a weird noisy sound - so I can't hear anything and speak to anyone because it's so noisy - like it's the movie introduction man+alot of noise speaking, sometimes it even sounds like an airplane is taking off.
    To make it stop, I have to unplug and replug the usb cable again.
    I've tried on several computers, with same result - unfortunately.
    Have you heard about this problem before, and is there any solution?
    Dear regards
    Rune

  • Need help getting Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset Mic to work

    greetings.
    i am using a Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset Mic along with an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card, and i cannot for the life of me get my laptop to recognize audio coming from the mic. the mic switch on the cord is on, and the status light is lit up, and i can even hear my voice from the mic in the headphones, but the audio is not being inputted into the computer. i'm using winxp pro and have played around with all the audio settings in control panel with no luck. any suggestions? i thank you in advance for your time and consideration. take care.
    regards,
    jps

    Headsets or microphones with a USB connection cannot be connected to the input connections on a sound card directly. Instead, they must be connected to a USB port on a PC.
    They are treated as a separate audio device by Windows. They will be listed as a separate audio device in Device Manager as well as in Windows Multimedia panel. To adjust the volume of the headset or the microphone, use Windows Volume Control.

  • No MediaSource Go! with X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro Series?

    I recently picked up a new X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro Series card; which replaced my older X-Fi Platinum, that sadly stopped working.
    Anyway I noticed that, this newer Titanium card came with a newer version of the Creative MediaSource software; called MediaSource 5.
    However, it does not include the launching application, MediaSource Go! which is the launcher bar that loads on startup. With my X-Fi Plat, when I hover my mouse over the top edge of my screen the MediaSource Go! launcher bar drops into view and I can just click on the icon of any Creative application that I have on that bar, to launch that application.
    I liked that very much.
    So I am curious, why is this not included with the newer MediaSource that comes with the X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro? I would very much love to have it!

    @. Re: No MediaSource Go! with X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro Series? I have a similar issue. I am having a problem with speaker calibration which strated several months ago after updating some Creative files. Today I uninstalled all Creative apps and driver pack and reinstalled the latest versions. Doing this I lost my Mediasource Go! bar. So I downloaded it and when I tried to install it I got a message saying? I did not have the "minimum" version of MediaSource and that it would now quit. However, when I had Go! before I also had Mediasource5; in fact the Start Menu shortcut for Go! (which is now a broken link since Go was removed) showed it was in the Mediasource5 directory. So why won't Mediasource Go! install with Mediasource5 installed? I thought the "minimum" version of Mediasource required for Go! was 3.00.6.

  • Using back SPDIF Motherboards outputs with X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro Series

    I have an Asus Rampage Formula that comes with Digital Coaxial and Toslink outputs and a PCI-E sound card, Supreme FX II.
    I was able to use both back SPDIF outputs with out any cable, you the card in the PCI-E slot, but I have change my card with a X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro Series, no im not able to use any of those outlets, im used the the Coax to my Home theater and the Toslink to me headphones.
    Now I can only use the Toslink of the digital output of the X-Fi with my headphones but im not able to use the ports of the mobo to my home theater, is there a way I can use them? the card doesnt have a Coaxial output and thats the problem.
    Also, my mobo has 4 pin SPDIF output port, so you can connect something there, but it seems that there are any cable from the output port of the mobo to the audio card....
    I found this but Im thinking it might not work...

  • HDMI connection through PCI Express X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro Series and Nvidia GTX 2951

    Hello,
    I want to connect HDMI connection through PCI Express X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro Series and Nvidia GTX 295\but i cant tell which of the pins on the Audio Card is the Spdif.

    CRe: Mic not working (PCI Express X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro Series)? Hello,
    Thanks for the reply.
    The headset is connected via the 3.5mm jacks in the card.
    I believe I have it working now. I ended up having to unstall the drivers and software, reboot, install drivers and software and then mess with the settings. The only issues that I am having now is that I hear a a really high sort of feedback/hiss tone from the headphones now. To correct this I have to turn the input for the microphone down really low within the Windows 7 controls for the microphone and turn it up with Ventrilo to get the mic to work and remove the feedback/hiss.
    I believe that the issue stems from the flexjack setting. The whole flexjack thing really seems to mess with the microphone settings. I believe I choose line-in instead of microphone.
    Once I get home tonight from work, I will hopefully post the exact settings I came up with to get the mic to work.

  • Problems with X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series

    Hello All-
    Recently, my sound has really degraded. I get bursts of choppy audio, some time more persistent than others. If I am playing a game, it will actually cause skipping as if my machine was under heavy load. If I am watching a video, it will actually lag the video where the video is choppy or pauses briefly then catches up. Sometimes this happens when I first start a game or other media application, sometimes it persists where it is pulsing chop like a process is causing load on the applications. Sometimes, this persists as long as the application is open (winamp/pandora, various games, streaming video via winamp/real player, divx etc). I am on the most up to date drivers available through the creative support site (2.8.08 I believe).
    I have a 2.6ghz quad core, 4 gig RAM.
    Windows Vista x 64
    2 x Nvidia 8800 GXTs overclocked to 786m each
    Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    I Join the club i have had this problem for ages my games will just freeze and then i get this crazy screetching noise i have never been able to fix the problem its creative all over for you crapy drivers i have had enough of creative and wont be bying one of their cards again try it in a different pci slot or try some different drivers if its still in warranty complain to creative get shirty with them and they might rma it if all else fails goods luck rich

  • Creative Soundblaster X-fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro, Software Problem

    Alright, so I got this soundcard, and I installed all the software/drivers that came with the cd, and I also updated them. But sometimes the volume panel dissapears, the mixer won't open, the modes won't switch, etc...
    This soundcard is great in my opinion when it comes to music production. This is my first soundcard purchase, and I already noticed an improvement in sound and how it performs alot better. But this problem is a bit annoying because I also like to play games and the mode switcher will sometimes not work. This is usually fixed by logging out and logging back in.
    I use windows xp incase anyone needs to know.

    Assuming you installed all the latest updates, have you checked updates for XP?
    you would be surprised what a few updates for the OS will do for yeah

  • X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series - hardware DD and DTS decod

    Do I understand correct that hardware Dolby Digital and DTS decoding?is blocked in drivers for this card??Bundled PowerDVD 6.0 doesn't support Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES and also Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS NEO:6... Sincerely yours,Pavel

    Actually, support is in the Creative Audio Console (which is part of the driver suite for all Creative sound cards), and is especially true for Windows Vista, as it has been since Windows 2000 Professional. Part of the problem with Windows Vista is that direct hardware access (even for audio) is headed off at the pass, and thus driver support (and application support) needs to be rewritten to realize that. PowerDVD is expecting an interface (that is no longer there).

  • Sound lag with X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro Seri

    Hello to you all,
    I just built a new computer and the problem I have is that sound lags with WMCE in Vista. My video card is ATI 4850 (52mb) and motherboard is 790gx. The internal sound and integrated video are both disabbled. Any suggestions as to fix the sound lag while watching TV on Media Center? I have no problems with music or games with this. Thanks to all.

    Just to confirm that deselecting entries in the "headphone detection" tab the creative audio panel seems to provide a temporary (but not an acceptable permanent) solution.
    "Automatically mute speakers" provides the workaround but "automatically enable headphone settings" also needs to be deselected otherwise the PC will set to "headphone" on resume (rather than "5:" for example).
    So it could be that on resuming from standby it is setting some internal headphone settings to mute the speakers.
    I have created a support ticket hoping that this and the other post above might bring about a driver update.
    Will keep testing and post any updates.

  • X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series Pin connections for panel in pc c

    Which pins do i need to use to connect up on the soundcard for the mic and speaker socket that is built in on my pc case to work ?
    So that i dont have to keep reaching around the back to unplug my speakers and plug in my headphones !
    If i have got the speakers already plugged in the back with a microphone, can i, will i be able to just plug the headphones in on the pc cases headphone port and the soundcard disable the speakers automatically ?
    Is the a diagram somewhere that shows the pin names or configurations ?
    Hope Someone can help
    Regards DeluDeD

    Hi,?What Creative does is hiding information that could be useful to their buyers in hope that buyers ruin their soundcards and run on to buy another, this is the only possible explanation to what they are doing. Just think this: ?Why in the hell they hide this information that could be so helpful and almost risk free and why do they charge a ridiculous price for the X-Fi I/O Dri've?
    In my Country (Portugal) a X-Fi ExtremeMusic Costs around 0.00? (around 88 dollars) and the I/O Dri've costs (in Creative?s Site) 04.5. (around 84 dollars), but if you buy the Sound Blaster? X-Fi Platinum (that has all the above and seems that the sound card is better) it only costs around 60? (around 28 dollars). So, if you buy the two first items in separate you?ll pay 24.5. (72.00 dollars) and pay more 54.5. (around 44 dollars) than if you had bought the Platinum.
    I really think that they should change the category from accessories to Deluxe Expensi've Options.
    The good news to Creative is that I wont buy anymore products from Creative, I?ve stopped to sell the speakers since they launched a series of Cambridge a few years ago with a subwoofer that sound ruined (I bought 30 of them) and never replaced them with a good one, now they do this and I say no more.
    Over the last 5 years in the Computer Assembly business I probably sold more that 3.000 products from Creative but my reaction to this attitude from Creative is the last that I can take. I?m not going to buy I/O Dri'ves to every PC that I sell with a Creative Sound Card!!!
    I?M BUYING PHILIPS NOW!!!!
    Good Luck Creative?
