Creative inspire P7800 and X-fi extreme sound card on win 7

I have a dell with windows 7, the creative X-fi Extreme sound card and my creative inspire P7800. The sound has not worked properly since receiveing the computer.
I am going to assume it is my speaker and the set up.
I currently cannot even get the option to set up the 7.1 surround speakers. It only shows two. Half the time the sound doesn't work and the other half it only works on certain sites.
I would appreciate any advice on how to trouble shoot this and get it working properly.
The driver I have currently installed is the creative ver. 6.10.0.209 dated 8/27/2009.Above this there is also another listing that says ATI High Definition Audio Device. I do have the on board sound of my motherboard disabled.
If I need to install another driver please advise me of the procedure to do it correctly.
Thank you for any help!
Wanda

You may want to try downloading the card's latest driver from http://support.creative.com/Products...T=CategoryID:1
It is a new driver and is released on 28 March 2014.

    S750 GIGAWORKS AND ASUS MOTHERERBOARD REALTEK SOUND CARD
    My system currently used a built in sound card on the main board asus hd audio
    I am wondering if these speakers will work fully with the built in sound card or will I need to purchase another sound blaster card?
    the mobo is a but I have noticed the jack plugs on the s750 have

    should work fine mate, i have asus p5n-e sli board, and i have the realtek hd audio onboard, one thing i can tell you though, CREATIVE audigy 2 and x-fi cards have a serious problem with nforce 4 and 650i chipsets, not sure about 680i but i wouldnt risk my money, they just dont seem to draw enough power from the pci bus if you have a decent graphic card installed, you end up with very loud crackling and pops which sound scary as if its gonna blow your pc up, theres a lot of complaints on the net about this and i had to pull my audigy 2 zs out my machine and go back to onboard realtek because of this problem, blame driver support, creative just cant get their act together

  • Creative Inspire P7800

    Hello, I have a Creative Labs Inspire P7800 7.1 audio system. It is virtually new (used it twice). Somewhere over the years I lost the power adaptor for the subwoofer. Google doesn't return many results with the info I have. I am looking for a replacement adaptor, and/or enough info to manufacture my own. The jack on the sub only says 3.5V AC in, and the manual mentions it but doesn't contain any details . Any info would be appreciated, such as: part number for adapter, amperage of adaptor, type of jack (probalbly have one that fits it), and which pin is + and -.
    I'm rather electronics savy and have decent soldering skills, so making my own adaptor isn't out of the question. Also, I'm trying to avoid taking it apart to determine more. Thanks.

    Ok, upon searching the forums (should have done this first), it looks like the model # is UA 460. The power is 3.5V AC 6 Amps.
    Is there any sort of internal rectifier? Wil it accept DC Voltage (I assume there is an internal rectifier that converts the AC to DC)?

  • Creative Inspire P7800 Don't Work

    Seems all i get is hiss, and 2 speakers of the 7 Working. I have read all the posts, and i don't see much mention of 7800 series, but it seems to be the cabling. I would like to know how i can get this system working. I would also like to know to whom i would have to call to have this problem corrected. I almost bought the logitech speaker system, and after reading all the posts here, i wish i had.
    I

    well i just posted twice about the P7800. Turns out the cable they send you is made for their Creative Sound cards, so if you want one to work with any other 7.1 Sound card you need to call them and order it, The cable they send you has 3 jacks. Center/Sub, Front and rear, or somethig or other, But it doesnt have teh side speakers, the Blue plug. Call their Customer Service.

    I am considering buying this speaker system and I was wondering how it will perform with a

    If you are getting sound when you are "testing"  but not when trying to play files it could be that you didn't connect your cd rom to your sound card's auxillary (for playing cd or dvd) or you have certain file types muted...for example...it is possible you have wave muted...but midi is not.  check your volume control properties and see what is marked with a red X...creative is notorious for having some sources muted.
    STUPID QUESTION #1, With the Diamond Plus Sound card having sound card on board the MB, where do I find the AUX of the sound card?
    STUPID QUESTION #2 I recall years ago having similar issues with a sound blaster card, and yes it was related to some things being muted.  Where are those volume control property settings, and what are the proper settings?

  • Creative Inspire P7800 Middle Right Noises

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem w/ my middle right speaker. I haven't had this problem before until now. My middle right speaker would make static noises when I turn on the volume. I tried unplugging the output wire to my computer and it still make the static sound so I know for sure the static isn't outputting from my computer. I tried plugging in different speaker into the Middle right port and it makes those noise. The noise is pretty annoying when I'm not playing music. It sounds like something is hissing. So is there any way I can fix the output port of my middle right output? I tried opening it but the wire connecting to the subwoofer is attached so I can't do anything about it. Any way to fix this? (I bought this like a year or 2 ago so I don't think i have manufacture warranty or do i?)

    off subject a little, but i recommend buying a 60 gig off amazon.com. those were the first models to be released and they really are much better than any of the other models they have made. 40 gigs and 80 gig models really don't have all the features like backwards compatability and the four usb ports. it will cost you a little bit more but it is worth every penny.
    as for the dts... i found out that will work, but i am concerned about the four linear formats that the ps3 uses. my sound card works with the two basic ones that my computer uses, but i am hoping to find out when i get windvd in the mail if the speakers will work with the other two.

  • PSE 12 and Premier Elements 12 Sound Card Compatibility

    Specs say need a Direct X 9 or 10 sound card or one that is compatible.  Is DTS sound+ card compatible?  Found a Windows laptop on a Black Friday special that meets all the other requirements but can't find an answer about the sound card.  Hope someone has a quick answer since the sale on the laptop ends tomorrow.  Thanks.
    And now I know thre answer to my question.  After almost an hour on the phone with HP, I know that the sound cards are compatible--the tech that helped was really great and ended up running around their call site to check with other tech reps to find the answer.  Apparently not a very common question, since before I submitted my question here, I had talked with Best Buy and the tech I spoke with there didn't have the answer.
    Thanks to all who stopped to look at my question.

    if you downloaded the premier elements 12 install file, search for recent files.
    if you can't find it, redownload it.

  • Spdif guitar sound from Creative Blaster not coming out through motherboard sound card

    I just bought a new 64 bit PC & transferred my creative labs sound blaster card to it from my old 32 bit PC.
    Everything was fine with windows XP on that 32 bit machine. I fed my guitar signal from my Line 6 UX2 into the spdif in on the creative sound card & the guitar sound was available at the back of my PC from the basic card on the motherboard.
    Now with the new PC I still plug my guitar into spdif input at front of my creative labs sound card. The output is present on the optical out at on the Blaster card. However the guitar sound coming out of the back of my PC from the onboard Realtek sound card is delayed by about 100ms & is poor quality. I've tried every configuration setting but can't get it right. I need to take it from the back so I get everything including play back from one output.
    Also the creative labs control consol opened initially, but now says 'device not available' when I try to open it. Although to start with it would open. The creative card is enabled so it should see it.
    I've downloaded the latest creative labs driver. I think it's for 64 bit. Not sure.
    Any constructive suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Does ANYONE have a solution?

  • FCP, Beta SP and Blackmagic Multibridge Extreme capture card

    I'm having problems getting a video signal into FCP via a Multibridge Exteme capture card by Blackmagic Design. I currently have device control and am able to view footage already in FCP on an NTSC monitor so it appears as though the capture card is working. I have my capture setting set to blackmagic NTSC-10 bit (i've tried several different settings). I have the deck connected to the card through the component ports. Here are the specs on what i'm working with:

    Under System Preferences go to the Decklink Preferences.

  • Inspire P7800 vs. Inspire T7900?

    What's the difference between the Creative Inspire P7800 and Inspire T7900? The only difference I can see is that the mini tweeters in the left, center, and right speakers wit hthe T7900 set are missing in the P7800 set. Is the sound quality really different, or what?

    gaboritz,
    The speaker is connected to the computer soundcard and the soundcard is the one that's interacting with the OS. If there is no sound from the speaker, there is only 2 possibility. Either the speaker is faulty or the soundcard is faulty or not interacting properly with the new OS.
    Have you try updating to the latest soundcard driver?

  • Sound Card for Creative Inspire T7700

    What sound card do I need to have for the Creative Inspire T7700 and how do I find out what I have.
    Message Edited by amzngbac on 12-18-2004 09:09 PM

    amzngbac,
    In order to fully optimize the 7.1 speaker you have, you will need to get a sound card that support 7.1 speaker system. The Audigy 2 ZS series range support this.

  • Creative Inspire 6.1 6600 Sound Problem

    I have a Creative Audigy Audio Processor (WDM) (Audigy 2) and the speakers are Creative Inspire 6.1 6600. The sound goes down when the selector of volumen is between 3 and 4. I need to increase the volume to make it sound again, but it goes down again. What`s going on?

    Does this problem only occur in certain programs? Because I have a similar problem with my sound suddenly dropping without warning. But it only happens when I'm playing music in Windows Media Player. If it does have something to do with the media player then I suspect it could be the "WOW effects plugin." I hope this helps, or at least narrows down your problem.

  • Creative Inspaire P7800 Replacement Cable

    I am trying to find a replacement cable for my 7.1 Creative Inspire P7800. The cable I need is the 4:3 cable that runs from the subwoofer to the sound card. One of my cats chewed through one of the wires, and I am having a difficult time finding a replacement. I called customer support, but they don't carry that particular cable anymore. Any information I can get would be very helpful. Thanks!
    *edit* I have a Creative Audigy 2 Value sound card. Is this cable even needed? Or can I used a regular 4:4 cable? Or two 2:2 cables? Help!
