Creative soundblaster x-fi xtreme audio PROB

Hello!
Ive just bought a ceati've soundblaster x-fi xtreme audio some days ago but it dosent work properly.
I bought a ( http://www.clasohlson.se/Product/Product.aspx?id=383530 ) becouse i wanted to connect my PC to my reci'ver but i cant choose Spdif in the console launcer.
-It just says unknown or no signal in the Digital I/O menu.
What am i doing wrong?
Help!

The Digital I/O jack on the Xtreme Audio soundcard isn't an optical out jack so you can't use an optical cable directly with the card. If your receiver has coaxial jack, you can get a 3.5mm minijack to coaxial cable to work with the soundcard.

No 6.1 channel speakers option with soundblaster x-fi xtreme audio

Here is my problem: I have a 6.1 channel speakers and a yamaha receiver, but my computer doesn't show 6.1 configuration, and neither does the creative software. Both control panel and creative software only have 5.1 and 7.1. When I use my speakers with my dvd player everything works just fine. My soundcard is the soundblast x-fi xtreme audio pci, and I have windows XP. Does anybody know what's going on?

6.1 isn't really a common speaker configuration so I doubt that many sound cards discretely support it. I'm assuming that the only way to get 6.1 audio is from a movie with a Dolby or DTS -encoded track via SPDIF or letting the receiver upmix 5.1 input into the rear mono channel.
How are you connecting the sound card to the receiver? Are you using SPDIF or direct analog connections? If watching DVD movies, I'd recommend SPDIF, provided your DVD software supports it, you should be able to send a 6.1 encoded stream over SPDIF to the receiver, but for everything else I'd recommend the direct 5.1 analog connections, set your sound card to 5.1 and then let the receiver upmix to the rear channel if you so desire to use that feature.

Soundblaster X-fi Xtreme Audio and ALch

I bought a Soundblaster X-fi Xtreme Audio soundcard to go with my new computer as I have always used Creative and have been impressed by them. However, in Vista, my rear speakers do not seem to work. I did some research and found that ALchemy was what I needed, but I cannot get this to install. It gives me the error message that my card isnt supported. Is there any workaround for this? I feel pretty miffed having an X-Fi card and being excluded from proper sound in Vista.

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".

24 bit 96 kHz on Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio so

I have a Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card.According to data sheets it has 24 bit 96 kHz recording and output. When I set recording options in Adobe Audition .5 to
Sample rate to 96kHz
Stereo
32 bit float
In the Edit View down left it says "recording as 6 bit"
If I change to 44. kHz it says "recording as 24 bit"?Someone told me that I the HW does not support 24 bit (32 bit float) but is compatible to 24 bit, i.e. it samples at 6 bit but provides internal data that is 24bit. The same somone told me that I needed a E-Mu 0404 card to get true 24 bit(32 bit float) and 96 kHz resolution. Can anyone from the technical support tell if this is the case or not.

Problem with SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card Installat

I just completed installation of my X-Fi Xtreme Audio card for PCI express slot. I followed instructions and cancelled the prompt for audio drivers (by the hardware wizard) and installed via the Creative Labs CD. The installation went well and the card appears to be
functioning normally. My problem is that whenever I boot up the computer, the hardware wizard keeps discovering my card as new hardware and prompting me for a driver. I have been cancelling each time, but the last time I put in the CD, and had it search for the driver in the Audio/Drivers/driver/WinXP/bin, but it didn't seem to be able to locate the driver to satisfy itself.
What should I do (besides turning off the hardware wizard) to end this cycle of "new hardware found" episodes every time I boot.
I hope that someone can help with this.
ps: I would have liked to speak briefly with a Creative Tech Support person, but they seem to have conveniently left any telephone contact numbers off of their website, so I must depend on your help. Thanks.

Hi,

Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio

What the hell is this soundcard?!? I never heard about it and I can't find it at all anywhere in Canada. Creative didn't even provide a Specification or Comparision tab in the product page below. To me it looks like a cut down version of the Xtreme Music but I'd really like to know.
PS: Creative webmaster made an error and inversed the description of the 24bit Crystaliser with the CMSS-3D lol.
www.soundblaster.com/products/product.asp?category=&subcategory=208&product=5855

I have asked about that card here and nothing... Reading the specs it doesn't say nothing about any hardware acceleration so I guess is more like the Li've!24bit or AudigySE kind of card... rebranded of course.
