Creative X-FI Elite Pro + Windows Vista = Audiodg.exe 60%+ CPU Please He

Hi,
I got a problem with the Audiodg.exe process, problem is that sometimes it uses from 5% cpu and jumps to 50% and more and when playing this makes everything choppy and even cause mouse lagg..
As fast as i tab down the game the process drops to 5-0 and if I tab in again it jumps and holds on for several sekunds/minutes and then everything works fine and some minutes later it starts again.
This Hapends when playing all sort of games but mostly hapends in Counter Strike Source, and Windows Media Player, when watching films or listening to music but when doing that it gets worse and making the sound to lagg or slowdown etc.
Any idea got all the latest drivers exept for bios becouse Asus bios are unstable, and i cannot switch audio drivers becouse i got 4gb of ram and only the latest creative drivers work with 4gb...
Hope you understand everything
Spec:
OS: Windows Vista x64 Build Version 6.0.600 (SP ENG)
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair nForce 590sli
CPU: AMD 5200+ FX-62 Dual Core Black Edition

Everything got latest drivers etc...
Hope thats all, Best Regards C0MM4NDER

I didnt have this issue before to, it just starded after my reformat when i noticed that my cpus where on 100% in a game and then noticed that it was a process called Audiodg.exe that eats everything.
Im running software from my Creative Vista CD + updates from Creative Site, (and the 10006. driver from this site.) and no no codec packs installed yet. nothing this is a clean install only standard programs running installed only nod32 creative software and defrag software. and i used this before when i didnt have this problem only new is the drivers that i NEED becouse i use now 4gbs of ram and, this is the only hardware change from format, i had 2gb then now i got 4gb and i downloaded the latest driver, maybe its is the problem, but i need this driver.
Im 100% its the drivers because i've seen many other issues like this with other Audio companies that fixed it with a driver update, exept Creative "wow thats some news" i've allready talked at Technet on Vista 64 forums and person told me that it a driver issue.
Another proof is that if i run windows doing nothing Audiodg.exe uses constantly 0-4% of my CPU, if i start a mp3 its jumps to 6-8% if i turn of Cmss3d in Creative Console it drops instantly to 0% and stays there all the time, so its something with the drivers. running open al software only limits the audiodg to some point, but when running (Teamspeak) with Direct Sound, and (Counter StrikeSource) with Open Al /Alchemy) the Audiodg flips and starting to use 50% sometimes, and it hapends sometimes when i dont use teamspeak, so its Driver problem.
I phoned Creative and they told me on the support that they have no idea and telling the same story = Reainstall drivers etc..

Elite Pro and vista, creative console resets after ever reb

So, I've given up trying to search for the answer and I have no clue how to go about fixing this problem.
If I boot into visata 32 Ultimate, and go and setup my audio console the way I like it then reboot, it will reset itself to defaults when I boot back into windows.
basically its not saving my configuration. Why does this happen and how can I fix this? It doesn't sound the same as the Digital output resetting itself. I have the latest drivers installed on a clean slate...why does this still happen?
its friggen annoying!

yep , i see they are supported, the same is mentioned on the drivers download page,
it states that DTS has been re enabled on devices that supported it on XP when they were originally released.
so i have the elite pro, wich supported dd and dts, and still i get no sound form any dvd in dts or even sound from my PS3 input via optical to the external I/0 of the elite pro.
and i have been told that i would need to buy the dts pack.
why ? when i already paid ?250 for the card that supported it from the moment i bought it ?
dts input support was one of the reasons i bought this card in the first place.
i might as well sell this and use my onboard optical output and buy an amplifier that supports dts, at least then ill know that there are no drivers/support problems
?creative you might make the best sound cards out there but that alone only gets you half way there. us customers we need support and value for our money?
not u trying to rip us off

SoundBlaster X-FI XtremeGamer Fatality Pro & Windows Vista 64 Drive

Just wondering what the current driver is for my video card ( SoundBlaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer Fatality Pro). I downloaded the following driver (Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Pack .04.0078) and I'm not sure it is the correct driver. I've searched the forums and see that everyone is talking about the recently pulled driver (SBXF_PCDVT_LB_2_5_0003.exe). Would this be the driver I should be using for my sound card If not, what is the correct driver I should be using for my sound card Is there a current driver for my sound card I noticed that this driver is available as well (Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeMusic, Platinum, Fatalty and Elite Pro with Open AL support 2.09.0007). Just trying to clear up some confusion and not mess up my recently formatted computer with the newly installed Windows Vista 64. I'm hoping someone can help clear things up for me. Thanks for the replies.

I'm not sure what all is included in the Audio Pack but the 2.5.0002 or .0003 drivers are technically the correct ones. (You may only be able to get .0002 since the other one was pulled). However, you'll find that a majority of users are completely unable to run Vista with an X-Fi card at all.
The easiest way to get the latest driver/software is to go here: http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/ and select the card you own.
Good luck, but don't hold your breathe...

Adobe Creative Suite 5 / Upgrade System Windows Vista to Windows 7

Dear customer service,
I am a customer of Adobe as I bought two years ago the Adobe Creative Suite 5.
My system is still Windows Vista. Now I wanna buy the Microsoft Home Office 2013 and now I have to upgrade from
Windows Vista to Windows 7.
My question is if there will be any problem with the Adobe Creative Suite 5? Or can I only put in the upgrade CD,
leave the Creative Suite on my pc and have nothing else to do than just installing?
Thank you for your reply.
With best regards,
Nicole

Correct. You only need to run the CS5 installer and have to provide the pertinent serial numbers in the process. Just make sure you run Help --> Deactivate bevor nuking your Vista install and reformatting your drive. If there are issues during the install, ask in the Download, Install & Setup forum.

Thank You

I'm in a similar situation with the Intel 6850, 4 MB of RAM, and the Xi-Fi Extreme Music. I am running VISTA Home Premium 64 bit. I bought my new computer at the end of Sept. and the sound has been on and off mostly off since then. Most of the time I just get static. I have the latest driver installed (I think its Nov. 4) but very, very poor sound.

X-Fi Elite PRO and Vista: dropouts and no sound. Only Changing mode in Audio-Console helps

Hi... Please help me. I have an X-Fi Elite Pro and I am experiencing a very strange problem in Vista 32. Before using Vista, I had no problems at all in XP. Sometimes when I listen to the music (Winamp) and then after listening the music start watching movie, the sound dissappears. I mean the EQ of Winamp freezes and there is no sound at all
!!! Only if I switch audio-console (in Configuration menu) to Games mode (or an other one) and back, the sound comes back... Sometimes it happens, sometimes not. It is very strange. Please, do you know a solution for that?!

In no way a 300W Power Supply has enough power for all your stuff.
2 HDD's, a power-hungry Pentium, a xfi card, dvd burner and many other stuff ...
Problems like this can happen then if your power supply has not enough power to handle all this stuff.
Get a better powersupply that can handle your stuff and I am sure it will work again. In a few cases its also possible that YOU damage your hardware on this way, if it can not get enough stable power, it might mess up your hardware. I also already blowed up a harddisk one day because I have connected too much stuff to one cable. I had 3 HDD's, Mainboard, Lights, Fans and DVD connected to one single cable. All devices there did not get enough power, harddisks made crazy sounds (on/off/on/off very fast) and after that one of my HDDs was bad.
But no ... you can't blame anyone for this. In 99% a bad power supply should not damagae your hardware, it will just make sure it does not work anymore. Since you installed that hardware, YOU are responsible for this. If a hardware-dealer would have to install this card for you, it would be his fault, but now its yours.
BTW: Why do you expect that a 300W suppy is enough!? I mean really ... think about it! See what todays PS can do, take a look how much your pentium already needs ... There are at least 00W gone for your CPU, another 00 for your Videocard and just 00 left for ALLLL the other devices like your harddisks (20-30W each one), DVD, mainboard, soundcard ... In no way this will be enough. You must have missed the last 5 years ...
BTW: I don't think that the software audio console would not work when not having connected the y-power cable. I forget that cable too one time. My console did still work, just in games I got some strange problems a lot of times (no more sound for -2 minutes, crackling and other poroblems) which got solved after I plugged in the power-cable to soundcard.Message Edited by Homey-GER on 0-7-200705:42 AM

[Help] Creative X-Fi Elite Pro Volume Rem

I have?X-Fi Elite Pro soundcard and Megawork 550 5. speaker. As You know that Elite Pro have an I/O console which have a 9 Pin DIN for remote control. Therefore, I connect my I/O Console with my speaker using the 9 PINS DIN Cable provided by Creative. the problem is, i can't adjust the volume of my speaker at all, it always goes to the max volume no matter how i try to adjust it.

Hi,
I have excactly same problem, tried reinstalling/updating GPU drivers, updating chipset drivers, emptying PCI-slots, putting sound card into different PCI-slots.
Also, it does not seem to have any memory, I/O or DMA conflicts with sound card. Maybe IRQ priorities?
This is what Microsoft says about "Code 2"

X-Fi Elite Pro and Vista, unable to start GRAW and GRA

Help,?Is there anyone using this version of card in Vista and playing GRAW. I cant get the game started at all with the x fi elite pro enabled, Hangs on initial splash screen, around 50% of progress bar. It will work in XP, I have done many installls of OS, using both the drivers on the CD and the latest web release drivers. Would just like to know if i am the only one in this boat, many people are playing this game in vista with the music and gamer version card but none that i know have the elite pro version. Thanks in Advance

Are you guys using your external I/O box under Vista?I know its halfway off topic but my box is completely dead (worked perfectly under xp) and not that many posts here with Elite pro cards so I take the liberty to ask here :-)?/cheers?

Creative X-FI Elite Pro prob

Hi all, i'm new to this community, recently i just bought the X-FI Elite pro.
When i first install using the creative driver CD, it has a crack sound from the Sound Card, anyway the installation was successfull. No problem when gamming, but everytime when i change to different mode, the card it self will have a crack sound, izzit normal?
Thanks

On certain mobo/graphics card set ups and some sound cards there is an issue with bus latency. In short while playing back audio you will hear a frequent crackling of the audio. That is not the same as the slight click the Elite pro makes when changing modes. It has been a Creative issue for many years but is only present with certain combinations of hardware. I have experienced that issue myself but several years ago. My current Elite Pro/PC set up does not have this issue.

WINDOWS VISTA 64BIT. a little help please!!!

hi
i am running windows vista 64 bit, my motherboard is Asus M3A32MVP, soundcard: Soundblaster Xfi, grapics card ATI 3870x2, processor AMD Athalon 6400 plus running on 4 gb of RAM
as i read all the posts as to how vista does not have the decoding for the audio sound, i think i may have solved the problem that we need in order to get surround sound. everyone needs to take a look at power dvd 7 max ... which has all of the decoding/encoding software for 5./6./7. surround sound, which seems to be missing from vista's os as far as sound is concerned. I keep seeing the particular fix for the creative driver for xp 64 , and vista 64 which was released on 3/4/08. this will fix the 4g of ram problem. i also purchased the instalation cd for the xfi soundcard for vista which is avaliable through the creative web site... IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE THAT MIGHT BE RUNNING THE SAME TYPE OF CONFIGURATION AS I AM OR IF SIMULAR TO WHAT I HAVE...AND IF SO IS IT WORKING TO IT'S FULL CAPACITY...... MEANING NO PROBLEMS..... CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH THIS BEFORE I PUT VISTA 64 BACK ON THE COMPUTER??

Will Creative Cloud programs work with Windows Vista?

The specs say works with XP or Windows 7. Does this mean they do NOT work with Vista?

That's crazy Why support XP And not vista
Presumably because so many people still use XP.
That said, Photoshop CS6 will be the last version to support XP.

Creative X-Fi Elite pro

C Hello
I just bought this sound blaster, and I think i've done all the steps correctly.
The thing is that the software runs good, but the external part doesn't even turn on, and the remote control doesn't work neither. I don't know if I made something wrong or I've bought it broken.
What do you think about this problem?
Thank you very much

Here we have the back
