Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI-Express) + Vista 32bit an media pla

Hi folks,Maybe someone here can help me with this issue, I recently bought a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7. Sound Card - OEM (PCI-Express), it arri'ved with the cd with software and drivers on it and i installed it into my vista 32bit without any problems.On rebooting my sound was working normally and as far as i could tell all was great untill that is i went to play some mp3 using windows media player, wmp kept telling me it couldnt play the file type then i tried to play a wma file an got the same thing, basically almost all audio types will no longer play in wmp. I rolled back the driver to use the microsoft driver (high defination audio device) and everything is playing in media player again.Only now i cant use the software suppiled with the card. Anyone have any idea how to use the creative driver and get wmp to play properly thanks in advance.
(in addition) after some messing around with various settings i discovered that this seems to be caused by the sb enhancements, when i disable them in speaker properties wmp plays as it should, althought i am rather disappointed that i have to disable the features on the card inorder to get it to work properly.

Need Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-express Windows XP dri

Hi
It seems that I can't find any drivers for my X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express card anywhere.
It's deeply frustrating as I can't use my audio card to anything without the proper drivers and software(the audio console).
Is there any way of getting these drivers / software?
Thanks in advance

Issues related to Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express 1)

Hi, I've recently bought a SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express edition).
Before I address my issue, I'd like to point out that my rig is:
Maximus Extreme (mobo)?
Q6600 (cpu)
ATI4870 (vid card)
4Gigs of DDR3 (ram)
and my OS is Vista Home Edition (32 bit precision)?
And so after physically installing the hardware, I quickly installed everything there was on the CD- this included the drivers available on the CD. After this installation, I restarted then found most recent updates via online sources (creative.com). But even after all of this, I wasn't able to get my microphone to work. Now from my understanding, the jack is shared between Line-In and Microphone and I'm supposed to configure this setting. And so I tried to do that, but my only problem was that I was unable to use any of the available features. After researching for a few hours I found out that I, appearently have to uninstall everything that I had installed and then reinstall everything from online sources (from creative.com-- latest drivers for vista 32 bit). But even then, I still can't use my mic or configure the settings so that I could use microphone instead of Line-In.
Now going back to my actual question, how do I configure the settings so that I could use Microphone instead of Line-In?

ERe: Issues related to Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express )[ Bumping.
Almost the same problem here.
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio edition, Windows 7 64bit.
I downloaded the latest driver from the Creative site, installed it, update with the update manager and then i installed the console.
Issue number : I DONT have your same console. I dont have a "Mode" button, im stuck in Entertainment Mode. I cant control almost nothing and i dont have all the options u have.
Issue number 2: My mic isnt working good. It's VERY low on volume, i cant be heard without the +20db boost (the only boost option i have, i cant boost more) and even with that acti've that's not that loud.
It is still working good with my onboard realtek soundcard. I cant understand what's the problem and how to solve it.
Ah, my headset is a Creative Fatality.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express - Softwar

Hi,I am looking forward to buy this product:?http://de.europe.creative.com/produc...uct=6770&nav=2?Does anybody know which software is on the?cd included, besides drivers ?Hope that there will be a kind of recording software maybe like creative smart recorder on it.Simply want to record audios from a line in source and need a recorder which runs with Vista. Thanks for any information in advance. Kind regards.

Thanks a lot for this link. So Creative MediaSource Player should be on the CD of Xtreme Audio. When I remember right this was also on the CD of my Soundblaster USB 2 NX.And with this player?it worked well to record line in sources as mp3.

Optical Input on Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E with Logitech z-5

So i plugged in my Optical cord into my new sound card the Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E and it worked only in the Front right, Front left, Front centre, and the subwoofer. Now i hear i need a external decoder... but then again that my sound card should decode it as well... the place i bought my card recemended a optical cord for my card?with the?speakers i have?(the?Logitech Z-5500) How much are decoders? What should i do next? Creative seams to have limited support especialy on optical inputs.

I must have answered something like that in another thread sometime ago, but here goes:
A single SPDIF connection, optical or coaxial, will only transfer stereo in analog form; no rear or centre channels!
There are two ways you can get all speakers playing via such a connection:
() Get your speakers to upmix the audio source to play on all fi've of them
(2) Output a Dolby Digital (AC3) or DTS signal. These contain the multichannel information encoded in the stereo signal. A suitable decoder (such as the one contained in the Z-5500) will be able to analyze the signal. Unfortunately, this is something you can mostly find in movies.
So, to sum it up, no natural everyday multichannel sound over one SPDIF (e.g. no EAX, directsound3d etc.)

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio: Many issues I have been faci

Hello everyone. This is my first post at these forums, with the hopes of getting my issues resolved once and for all.
First and foremost, let me inform you that I have very high experience with computer hardware.
A couple weeks ago, I bought a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card from a local retailer. (Yes, I am aware that this is not an actual X-Fi card with the designated chip). I previously had an onboard sound solution on my motherboard, and uninstalled and removed all of the drivers COMPLETELY before I installed my new sound card. I then opened up my case, and continued with the installation of the card. After I had downloaded and installed all of the latest drivers, I immediately started to notice issues with the card. My MAIN problem is that if I have a specific application open, whatever it may be, one of my headphones, either left or right, will stop producing sound, and then is followed by the second one, which leaves me with no sound output at all. If I restart the application, the problem is temporarily fixed, but then comes back again within a few minutes.
This is VERY irritating to me, seeing as I originally thought the problem was not with the sound card. Believe it or not, I reinstalled my copy of windows over 5 times throughout the course of the last few weeks in hopes of finally fixing the issue. And here I am, on a brand new installation of windows, and the problem STILL persists.
I can assure you all of my hardware is functioning correctly as I have tried 2 other sound cards which have not had any issues like this whatsoever.
Yes, I have read the FAQ, but I couldn't seem to find the solution to my issue there, which is why I am posting it here. Sorry if I sound irritated, but this has bothered me very much and I have been starting to lose a lot of hope in Creative...
Thanks in advance.

Anybody?

Sound very distorted at bootup with Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio

I have a new HP Pavilion Elite e9180t PC with a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card, an OEM card offered by HP. On two occasions, only two, so far, when the system is done booting the sound is distorted and it buzzes and hisses periodically. Upon reboot it is fine.
I have no idea what is going on and am concerned that this is a system of a pending failure. Is there something I can check?
Thanks.

I have this exact same system with the exact same problems. I called HP and got a woman who insisted it was all in my head. She didn't say that, but she continuted to tell me that unless she personally heard the problem herself, she could not help me. I told her it didn't happen all the time but usually at bootup and about every 6 hours or so as I was playing games throughout the day. I am a computer professional also, which should be noted, and I have worked tier 3 support for many years so I know how much knowledge a tier 1 support person has, which is what she was. I couldn't understand much of what she said due to the accent, which made it even more frustrating. Additionally, she remotely got on my system and clicked a bunch of things that made absolutely no sense whatsoever to the resolution of the problem. It seemed to me that she was trying to portray herself as "fixing" the problem so that I would agree it was now fixed and move one without her having to send me a new sound card, as I suggested. She asked me the same questions over and over "so what exactly are you hearing?" and "How often does this occur?". After the 4th time my frustration really began to show. Especially after "I'm afraid I have to conclude that there is not a problem with your soundcard if I cannot hear it." and "the diagnostics say the sound card is fine so it must be your speakers" even though I have swapped out the speakers several times and it also occurs on the headphones. Additionally, I bought TWO identical systems, one for me and one for my husband and his does not have the same problem. She tried to tell me that our parts were not identical, even though I opened both computers and I will tell you they certainly ARE identical. She is now calling me in exactly 6 hours because I told her that the issue occurs every 6 hours or so -- clearly she does not understand that that was an estimate of how often it occurs, not an exact timeline. I am really frustrated. She also told me there were no other complaints for this issue and now I find this forum. I also found a similar forum on the creative website. hmmmm. That tells me she was lying. She refused to let me speak to anyone else, also. Where are the award winning service and support technicians in all of this?? I mean, I work with HP from a business perspective all the time and I get better service. I am extremely frustrated.

SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express and XFX 9800GT graphics c

Hi
I have just bought a SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express card and looked at the motherboard where I have a XFX 9800GT graphics card installed and noticed the PCI-E slot where it attatches to the motherboard is right next to the graphics card and I am concerned it may cause air flow ventilation problems for the fan on the graphics card. The gap is about 2 mm.
.Does anyone think think this may cause the graphics card problems?
2. Is there an adapter/extention?lead that can be?connected to the PCI-E slot so I can attatch?the X-Fi Extreme card so I can move it away from the graphics card ?
Any ideas on this much appreciated.
Mack

The only way your going to know the answer to is by measuring the cards tempds before and after installing the sound card.
Graphic cards run with certain temp limits, and I guess there must be one for yours.
No idea on 2...all google throws up is "PCI Express to PCI Adapter".

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7.1 Sound Card - OEM (PCI-Expre

Hi folks,?Purchased a from Overclockers.co.uk, its an OEM card, but unlike most other OEM equipment I have, for the life of me I cannot find any drivers for it, at present I am using it under Vista 32bit, and Vista 64bit, both are using very poor Windows Update drivers which have crippled the optical output to 2 channel only
I can see me sending this card back to Overclockers.co.uk if I can't get drivers for it ?Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can find drivers for this card, or equivalents to it. Cheers, Vaughn.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Expr

hi all?i was wondering if people could let me know how the drivers for the below card?http://uk.europe.creative.com/produc...9&product=6770?are on xp and vista? i have an auidgy 2 zs plat atm but when i have it in my pci slot it gets too close to my ati HD 3870 card? by inches! which is causing it to get very hot. is it worth me upgrading to this card?would like to know anything and everything about how this card runs on xp and vista if some could help me out would be grateful?cheers

How it connects to the motherboard has nothing to do with it, the Xtreme Audio is still inferior to the Audigy 2 ZS in every way. The card is still a purely software dri'ven card, and if anything will cause performance loss due in games to having to process all game sounds/affects in software (processing is done by the cpu, not the sound card). Also the Xtreme Audio only supports up to EAX4; but guess what, so does your 2 ZS, only difference is your 2 ZS does the processing in hardware on the card.
Another point is your 2 ZS supports OpenAL nati'vely in hardware, and the Xtreme Audio had OpenAL support added recently in a driver update. Only difference is again, it is all done in software.

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Issue

Hey. I have Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7.1 Sound Card but cannot receive sound from it. I installed ALSA during the initial installed and tried to configure it but with no luck. I'm using the sound card with headphones too. Is there anything else I need to install/configure to get this working?
Cheers.

kentern, I looked at sly's output above (I hadn't noticed the link to it before because my browser colors and fonts are very hard to read), and he has the card that uses the CA0106 codec. I also have the CA0110 codec card, but have removed it from the PC as it seemed a hopeless basket case with all versions of ALSA, and I never did find anyone on any linux distro successfully running it to the point of producing any sound.
PS: Admittedly, the CA0110 codec cards are also supposed to work starting with ALSA 1.0.21 (see the alsa user and developer lists), but since its a completely different card, I would suggest you start a separate thread for that card instead of diverting his thread, here. For the time being, on my system, I've replaced the card with an old PCI card that works without trouble. I spent a couple weeks trying to get the x-Fi one to work on 1/2 dozen different distros, with zero success on any of them, and as a matter of fact, it was the ALSA 1.0.22 in archlinux that got me interested in Arch.
