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

Which would be the connector?
Thanks!

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

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..

[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"

Changing AGP Aperture Size to 256 Mb seems to fix the problem, thank you.Message Edited by Vilson on 07-20-2006 0:45 PM

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.

Vista 64, Latest Driver & X-Fi Elite Pro: Audio issue with Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Pes 20

Hi,i have formatted XP S.P.2 and now i'm using Vista Ultimate 64.I have got an X-Fi Elite Pro and i have installed all the applications using the CD-Rom.I updated the driver, Alchemy and Mediasource to the latest version.The system is totally clean and updated (I used Windows Update when i finished to install Vista and nothing was installed). I would like to know why i cannot play Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 like in XP: when i enter in the game i have a noise (looks like the noise of the needle in old gramophones...) and i cannot use the speakers (Creative ProGamer G500).If i turn the volume to 0 i can hear it too... i have to switch off the speakers or exit the game to delete it.Is it another bug I tried to uninstall and doing a new installation of the game but... no way men... Thanks p.s.After year and 4 months (release date of Vista) is it possible to have a decent driver... The Audio Quality in Vista Ultimate 64 bit is lower than in XP and the same wave files have distortion with the low and middle-high volume (60-70).
Problems that i have never had in XP... i cannot reinstall XP another time. I bought Vista in 2006 and i cannot use it till you'll release a good sw.
Have we to wait till 200 for a fuc.ing working driver

There is a thread of more than 500 pages just about Creative X-Fi: http://www.hwupgrade.it/forum/showth...42043&page=550 I would like to know if u test drivers before sharing... because i don't know what you did in more than year.You should meditate, people...

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

Problems with X-Fi Elite Pro Creative Audio Creation Conso

Hi I am Sergio Fucchi from Italy and I am 47 years old and I like to create my own CD from my analog li've recording of jazz and classical music.
I have changed all the top quality of Creative cards: Li've!, Audygy2, Audygy2 ZS, Audygy4 Pro and now X-Fi Elite Pro. Now I have a problem to visualize correctly the console of Audio Creation Mode on my monitor at 800x660 because I can't to resize the windows, but I can only pan it around my screen. With the others modes I have not any problems.
My video card is an ATI All-in-wonders 9600pro with latest drivers, my PC is an AMD-XP 3000+ with a GB fo ram and s.o. is XP SP2.
Thank You.
Sergio Fucchi

Sorry to tell you that the Audio Creation Mode Console is designed to work only at 024*768 resolution or higher.

X-fi Elite pro DIN out and Creative speak

hello,
I have the elite pro and megaworks 550 speakers, I have tried to connect the DIN cable from the I/o console to my sub instead of the original speakers remote control. but it is not work..it's won't turn my speakers on.
Is someone succeed to do that? maybe with another speakers? someone know how to fix it's
Thank you very much.

Some 8 months later people like me are still falling into this same trap.
The External console is NOT compatible with the Megaworks & Gigaworks speakers (even the 7. versions) or so I am told by Customer Support after 6 weeks of working through the issues.
Why Creative would design this incompatability into there premier products is beyound me

Elite Pro Remote Control and

Hi there!
First of all: I already searched the forums, but was not able to find what i was looking for.
As I got back to my XP after using Vista I recognized that there is no "Creative Enterteinment Center" for XP, which was necessary for the usage of the remote control under Vista.
So... what now?

Honestly I can not believe that there is no way to solve this problem.
I am sure that there is somebody out there that uses the Elite Pro with XP who's RC works fine.
I already tried to install that MediaSource-Program, but I have not found any options to activate the RC.
In the meantime I found out, that there has to be a RCMAN.EXE running, which is responsible for the RC.
But now after I have installed everything I could, I ask myself where the heck that task is. Which program runs that task?

Problem when recording from the AUX phono output using creative x-fi elite

Hello everyone?Hopefully someone will be able to help me out here, as I've tried everything, however nothing seems to work. I am using the x-fi elite pro on a windows vista ultimate PC. When recording analogue material, from a tape Dec, for instance, I am using the creative audio console which accompanies the x-fi elite pro. I am using the aux phono input on the back of the box, and everything has gone smoothly until a few days ago. When trying to record from my tape Dec this last week, I suddenly noticed that the sound was very distauted in the left channel. Right channel was fine.Of course the first thing I checked was the level, and this was absolutely fine too, both channels were set to around 50% in the sound-options control-panel. I then checked the cable and then tried it on other equipment as well, and everything was also fine here. I then re-connected it to the audio consul, but got the same results. Fine sounding audio in the right channel, but distauted in the left. I then tryed re-installing the newest vista-driver to see if this would solve my problem, however it didn't. Now I've only got audio in the right channel, but no audio at all in the left. Has somebody inhere experienced anything simurlar, and if yes, can you please tell me what could be wrong??All the best from Allan

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.

X-Fi Elite Pro, can't hear PS2/X

Hello. I tried to search the forums, but I either searched poorly or I couldn't find a similar issue.
Here's the problem -- I can't hear either my PS2 or my Xbox using the Elite Pro on my PC.
Hardware:
[The good part]
PC does not have on-board audio for the motherboard (no need to flip a BIOS switch).
I have the SoundBlaster X-Fi Elite Pro PCI card plugged into an open PCI slot on the motherboard.
I installed the drivers from the CD as per the instructions. After the drivers are installed, and the reboot occurs, I can hear my normal PC sound perfectly through my headphones (I only have headphones. Speakers will come later).
Initial hardware check - PASS.
[The bad part]
I plug the two RCAs (Left/Right) from my PS2 into the back of the Elite Pro exterior console.
I plug my Xbox into the back of the exterior console as well, only this time into the optical input using Monster cabling.
That's what I have set up. No matter what I've tried as far as configurations go on the software side, I cannot hear these two devices. Either through the fancy-graphics Creative Console Launcher, or from XP (SP2)'s Control Panel > Sound options... I just can't hear anything (Playback or Recording options, Mute boxes, volume sliders, etc). I've also tried flipping the Aux2/Phono switch on the back of the exterior console and then trying everything I already tried all oer again.
I'm at a loss as to why I can't hear anything. I went to the store and picked up a RCA-to-Stereo converter and plugged the PS2 into the Microphone/Line-In port on the exterior console, and I could hear the PS2 through that. There are several reasons why that is an insufficient fix to my problem: ) I'd like to hook up the Xbox and PS2 at the same time. 2) I play World of Warcraft, and need the microphone slot freed up so that I can speak to my guild, and not have to crawl behind my machine every time I want to switch what I'm doing. 3) I paid for the Elite Pro specifically so that I could set all this up.
If anyone has any suggestions, by all means let me know!Message Edited by Gimpifier on 09--2006 09:48 PMMessage Edited by Gimpifier on 09--2006 09:49 PM

Ok, as you see in the picture, there are several mixer stri
ps.
All of them are related to the upper tabs. So:
The Inputs tab bares all the available inputs on your rack and PCI card (just Line In for the latter).
The Multi-Channel Wave tab bares all the outputs available on your rack and the PCI.
Those two tabs are the most important right now.
As I noted earlier, the problem occures either from a mute selection in the Auxiliary 2 strip or a 0% setting to the volume slider of the same strip. Otherwise, you are routing the Aux2 to an output not connected to your speakers. From what I see, no "Mute On" is apparent and you are routing every input to Front L/R Output. Have you tried plugging your headphones to Front L/R and select "2/2." as speakers?
You should also select the monitoring to "Recording" and not to "Playback" (found at the blue field, bottom right). This will enable you to see the input level for your recording source (Aux2 in your case, correctly selected by you).
Your speaker selection is set to "Headphones". Are they connected to the front output?
It might be better to do some troubleshooting. So:
What is the real problem?
No signal from Aux2 input?
No signal from the headphones output?
You say that:

The RCAs are li've and working. If I use the Stereo adapter, I can plug them into Mic-In/Line-In and I can hear them if I swap to Line-In. The problem is getting them to work as they are intended, so that I don't have to monkey behind the PC when I want RCA audio.
Can you be mor specific on this? Li've and working? You mean li've from the PS2? Get them to work as intended?

What are the flat frequency settings for bass & treble knobs on X-Fi Elite Pro?

Ok, I have the X-Fi Elite Pro and I need to set its bass & treble levels (volume control panel) to a flat frequency response setting. I noticed that the default value given by creative is 50% for bass level and 50% for treble level. So, what is the flat frequency response setting for bass and treble knobs? 0% or 50%?
Kind regards
Message Edited by Hyperion on 11-14-2008 08:26 PM

Ok, I get the picture. The reason why I asked this question came up when I bought a new set of monitors (the Edirol MA-15DBK). I found out that after changing speakers (I had a set of Philips SPC-3208) the new ones were set to 0% boost/cut for bass/treble, but the sound came out quite bassy in an almost irritating level. So, I thought that maybe my card's bass levels were somewhat boosted. I guess now some lower frequencies are revealed, so I have to take care of my room acoustics. However the reviews for the Edirols gave low bass levels, so this gets more complicated. I am still in a 30-days trial, so maybe I will have a look at the Gigaworks T40 series II and I'll see what happens then...
