Creative x-fi extreme audio card quest

I have a new HP Pavilion with the creative x-fi extreme audio card. My question is, when I open up the entertainment mode and look at the tabs I don't have any option button for Dolby. How can I output Dolby surround sound? I have Logitech x-30 5. speakers but no option for Dolby output.

I am using HP DVD player. So I set that within the player at SPDIF? I still don't understand why I dont have the option in the creative dashboard. Doesn't the card support Dolby? I am pretty good at understanding all things video but this sound thing really confuses me. I thought SPDIF is for digital optical output to digital speakers? Can I get dolby with 5. analog speakers?

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!

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.

Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium

I have installed Windows 7 upgrade on an HP desktop that was running XP Pro. Install went fine exept I have an error "No Audio Device Installed"? yet I have installed the Xfi extreme audio card in its slot. The card works fine with XP. I have gone with the windows update installed the current driver with still no luck. Searched the forums again no luck, have done my due diligence via the internet and with beta drivers and still only have the red X everytime I boot. What can I do to get this card working agian?

Re: Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium0 As I stated in my first post I did my due diligence and after installing beta drivers for the SB0790 then installing the recommended driver dated July 09 it still does not recognize the device (7 Home Premium). I have gone through every forum google points me to we are not alone, taking advice I've installed then deleted these drivers about 0 to 20 times I've tried compatibility mode "Vista" "Vista SP", "Vista SP2", "XP", and so forth with no luck also running the driver as admin. Every time I update driver in 7 it tells me I have the current driver yet I have a red X and no sound.
I can't believe that Creative does not have working drivers for the final release of 7 knowing that they had 6 to 8 months to prepare. Really poor on their part.

X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card not work

Hello, in my first time building a computer, I've had problems that have been solved via various forums, and I'm finally at my last problem that I need to fix. I got an X-Fi extreme audio card that isn't working properly. I know that the card isn't broken or inserted improperly, as when I test the speakers through the card (I'm using the green analog cable, plugged into the card), it works nicely. However, when I try to listen to anything else, like music, youtube, etc, I can only get sound (occasionally) through the headphone jack, which makes things sound really strange through the speakers. When I try to put headphones in (the headphone jack), they don't make any sound. Does anyone know a solution to this? I've tried going through all the settings, turning the mobo's onboard audio controller on and off, and many other things. I'm using a Abit IN9 32X MAX motherboard, Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio VARPAK 7. Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express Interface Sound Card?and 32-bit Vista.

Today you're lucky, i also have an MSI XFI Audio but it's PCIe, if your card is PCIe, here is the CD:This CD is from a user named NUJA, http://nuja.free.fr/SBXAudioPCIe.rar , contain : CREATIVE_ALCHEMY_X-FI .00.07
Audio Console 2.40.2
Console Launcher 2.30.32
Creative Volume Panel 2.0.80
driver din 03/04/2008,6.0.0.20
This CD is better then CD from MSI, it has newer application and drivers.

"What U Hear" - X-Fi Extreme Audio on Vi

Hi,
Having Googled on this subject, I think I know what I want. The trouble is I've read so many threads both here and in other forums, I just can't find it! I hope you'll be nice to me as a first-time poster here
I have the X-Fi Extreme Audio Card , am running Vista (32) and need the "What U Hear" function. It appears I need old drivers/software from 2006 to make this work - Can anyone kindly point me to a li've link for these, please?
I have been in contact with Creative Tech Support, but have sort of hit a brick wall
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
I have the same problem, I got Windows Vista and as a sound card I have SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio. Everthing was fine until I baught this new headset from SteelSerios. The sound works fine but when I come to the microphone, I cannot record, I cannot be heard in Ventrilo and stuff.
So please Jingleman what have you eqtually done to solve your problem and what driver have you downloaded please.
Thanks In Advance
Dajdu,
I can not comment on SteelSerios, but I totally removed all Creative software, which included the driver. Vista then picked-up my 'X-Fi Extreme Audio' sound card as 'new hardware' and automatically found a suitable Creative driver. After this I updated driver allowing it to check the internet and the working driver is Creative 5.2..68 dated 08/05/2007 (that may be 05/08/2007 to you).
If that doesn't work, try temporarily removing any software you installed relating to SteelSerios
Cheers.

X-Fi SB Extreme Audio + Barracuda HP-1 + Game M

Hi,?Windows XP OS (with all service packs) with X-Fi SB Extreme Audio + Barracuda HP - I do not have Game Mode available as an option in the Creative console. As I research this, it seems this is the normal state for this audio card. However, I am unable to get sound from all the speakers in the HP-. When I uninstall the card and revert to the on-board sound card, the HP- appears to be?working properly - it seems that this is likely a driver issue rather than a hardware issue. Assuming I get a good clean reinstall of the X-Fi Extreme Audio card and drivers such that the HP- works, am I going to get positional sound from the HP-s when i play games such as Gothic 3, BioShock, Gears of War, or F.E.A.R.,?or do I need to upgrade the audio card?I'm not really interested in the technical reasons why the sound card and headset may or may not be compatible, I'm mostly interested in knowing if this combo works or not. If this is a driver issue, is there a best driver set to use rather than the most recent drivers at the Creative site?

I never got any help with the above from anyone. I am using the remote control to jack in and out now, but the Zalman mic wont shut off no matter where I go or what I do. HELP

On board sound on GA-Z77X-UD3H vs Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Audio

Christmas last year I upgraded to a new computer and I'm wondering if I would gain any audio performance or sound quality by moving my old Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Audio card to my new computer which is presently running with on-board sound.
Here's the link to the motherboard model I have: http://ca.gigabyte.com/products/prod...px?pid=4441#sp
The audo is listed as:
1.VIA VT2021 codec
2.High Definition Audio
3.2/4/5.1/7.1-channel
4.Support for S/PDIF Out
Would it be worth it even with this old sound card? Or does the new on-board sound quality beat the old sound cards of yesterday? Also, yes I do play a lot of new generation games.

The X-FI Extreme Audio does not have an X-FI chip. It is an Audigy 2 chip with software emulation to come close to the sound capabilites of an X-FI chip based card. There is a lot of information about it on the web, Creative has taken quite a PR hit because of the comments by the CEO at that time. I don't know if he is still the CEO nor do I really care.

Alchemy for XFI Extreme Audio Ca

Will htere be a version of Alchemy for those of us that have XFI Extreme Audio cards?

dcdrac wrote:
that still does nto detract fromt he fact hte product is been sold as something it is not.
In what way? Not trying to defend Creative here (and i have slammed Creative and that card elsewhere), but nowhere on the product page for that card does it say anything about being a card for gaming. Like I said a few minutes researching the card would have told you exactly what it was, and what it was intended for. And also like I said you show me anywhere on this page,?http://us.creative.com/products/prod...9&product=5855?that it says anything about supporting EAX and being used for games. The fact that it has X-Fi in its name is irrelavent (despite the fact it shouldn't) to the fact that you didn't research what you were buying, and then complaining after the fact that it doesn't do what you expected (EAX and games).

[linux] X-fi extreme audio won't work.

Hi,
I have already installed my sound card (creative X-FI extreme audio) but it doesn't work.
When I open my console and give the command lspci I get the following output:
02:00.0 PCI bridge: Creative Labs Device 7006
03:00.0 Audio device: Creative Labs [SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio] CA00-IBG
So the sound card is detected, but when I play music I've no output. I've already installed alsa again with the synaptic package manager, but it doesn't matter. Who can help me and tell me what I'm doing wrong.
greetz, henk

I don't have this card but was looking around if it would be supported under Linux ...
According to wikipedia (sorry, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_B...system_support) this card can have similar drivers as the Audigy SE? Otherwise, you may find some help at the http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/wiki/...audio_to_work; with the instructions at the rosegarden site I managed to get another sound card working under debian linux (using jackd, timidity, a sound font).

X-Fi Extreme audio and FlexiJack with mini-tosl

Hi.
I was told that you can use a standard mini-toslink to toslink cable instead of the i/o module if you only want optical spdif output from this card.
So i bought me the card and a the cable.
On my gamer pc the optical led of the FlexiJack is glowing all the time even if i dont use the port.
On my HTPC (the one with the Extreme Audio card) the FlexiPort is black as night and ofcourse i dont get any digtal signal to my reci'ver. The decoder tab where you are suposed to be able to set "Dolby Digital/DTS Bitstream Out" is absent..

Anyone? I really need to get this working...

X fi extreme audio questi

?Hi all?Nooby to PCs, i have vista 32bit and i have downloaded the drivers from creative for my a fi extreme audio BUT there isnt no other features that have been added!?When i had xp i used the x fi CD and had a little icon in my task bar where i could change bass, crystal thingy, graphic eqauliser etc etc. Have i missed something or have i installed it wrong?Thanks

The current drivers offer only the really basic stuff (sound output ).
You'll have to wait for a newer beta or the final driver until you'll have the Audio Console back.
Meanwhile, you could check for a solution using the XP drivers in this thread: http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=Vista&message.id=4560&view=by_dat e_ascending&page=

X-fi extreme audio notebook interface specs QUEST

I want to?get one but I only have a PC CARD slot not an Express Card one, and I've seen a USB to Express Card converter BUT it warns that IT WILL NOT DETECT OR WORK WITH CARDS THAT USE THE PCI EXPRESS PORTION OF THE INTERFACE, so my question is, does the x-fi extreme audio notebook use this portion? if it does guess I'm pretty much PWND... THANKS!!

Just raising this up again, sorry!

Extreme audio digital

I connected my amplifier 5. chanels CAT CS-906 to my extreme audio through the coax cable using the digital output of the soundcard. I understand that the Dolby Digital 5. conversion isn't hardware made but still i want at least a software real time Dolby Digita 5. conversion so my amplifier would recognize and enable Dolby Digital not prologi. It sends Dolby Digital 5. signal only when i watch movies or listen to music that has the soudtrack on 5 chanels?
The problem with this is that my amplifier isnt that good at de decoding prologic and it sounds like crap when i listen to stereo music it mixes chanels up and it's just like piece of crap coming out of the speakers.But if the sound card sends Dolby Digital signal the it would sound MUCH MORE better. I know someone that has the exact amplifier and uses it on the computer but his sound card is nforrce 2 onboard and it still does Dolby Digital in real time all the time> The diference betwen us is just to great when it comes to listening to music
I want Dolby Digital 5. decoding in real time everytime why isnt this possible?
I am usinng windows Xp btw?

thank you crati've for helping me out i thought you are good at what you are doing but i found out that dispite your years of experience in this field you cant even design a proper software
you convinced me that you respect your clients by doing what you do
i regret even to this day that i bought that card from creative thank for making me feel this way
at least you could have the decency to reply me even tho you have nothing to help me with like......lets sayy a good software
you have an army of people working on developing new technologies in software and hardware and you cant even do something that is usefull to everyone
daniel_k is just one person comparing to hundreds you companies have and he managed to do something right why cant you do it's

X-fi Xtreme Audio card problems!

Hi!?I bought a X-fi Xtreme Audio card today. installed, and now I get a big fps drop in Battlefield 2, first of all I cant enable Creative X-fi in the Audio tap under options in the game, it says the card does not supoort bla bla bla, if I chose to use Hardware I cant play the game due to extreme lag, with normal software, same settings I used with my onboard card, Realtek AC 97, I still got big fps drop... What is this **bleep**?Hey I want my money back, this **bleep** is useless... or is there some sort of fix? or is my card complete garbage?kind regards from an angry customer?//Stripflash

First, please refrain from using profanity on the forums: it is against the rules.
Next, it sounds like something definately isn't working right, as the X-fi shouldn't drag down your framerate at all. I would start off with a "cleansweep" uninstall/reinstall. On this website, click "Support" then KnowledgeBase, and in the searchbox type "SID72."
Let us know how it goes!
Good luck,
Dale
