Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music EAX in Entertainment M

Is it real that in Audigy 4 more EAX options then in X-Fi ?

[Your question belongs in the Sound Blaster forum and the moderators will probably move it there when they notice.]
The easiest thing to do is just attach both to the rear Line Out connector using a stereo minijack splitter adapter (such as part # 274-33 at Radio Shack - search the http://www.radioshack.com site for a picture) or equivalent y-cable.
The card appears to have the same connector nearest the rear bracket (on top) as some Audigy-series cards, but the manual explictly instructs to only use this if CL says to. That means the using it could void your warranty. That said, here's a thread with a lot of info on the chassis-connector topic which probably applies:

    hi, i want to buy the Xtreme music and want to knw which model is better:

    ?30SB077200000 - http://scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=789620
    noticable difference looks different (no gold connectors, and is missing the X-fi Xtreme fidility logo on the card)
    thanks

    Bulk Version -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_purchasing
    Means : without Coloured Package, only Card + CD
    The Creative CD works on Vista, but doesn't know about XP. Don't have a XP Version here to Test.
    On the CD isn't anything like Vista only or something else...so i think it should work on XP too
    btw: i doesn't use the CD, use the Youp-Pax Driver for best Sound and minimal Installationfiles.

  • Creative X-FI Xtreme Music Windows Cr

    Hi
    Okay, i've been the luckey owner of a Creative SoundBlaster X-FI Xtreme Music. I've been using it on a ASRock 939DUALSATA with an AMD 64 3200+?Recenlty i got my self a new motherboard and CPU. ASRock ConRoe945G-DVI and a Dual Core 2 Intel. I've reinstalled windows and were on my way to install the drivers, when i looked at the soundcard was been put as a "VGA-Unit" and sometimes as a "Multimedia something.." After some reinstalls of WINDOWS and some trys, it finally worked. But after a reboot, my load **bleep**ed up. It crashed my windows. And now, it's been regonised as a "PCI-Unit" or in danish "PCI-Enhed" If i try to install the drivers i get Blue Screen of death. I've been doing all, i've been surfing on this forum for a whole day or two, nothing has been found to help only that some has been sending there soundcard to RMA, and got a new and it worked. I've contacted my dealer, where i bought it. He said to contact Creative Support. And i have updated all that can be updated trust me, i'm a nerd. If somebody can help me please. And if there is some Danish supporter's out there, s? hj?lp mig dog

    I dont' know much about that board..but have you tried disabling this?7. CH Vista? Premium level HD Audio (ALC888 Audio Codec)? which is included on your mb. Just to see if any conflict in Windows... I have previous issues (similar) with SB vs. imbedded. May want to try and remove the drivers for the HD audio.. Only other thing I would suggest.is try reseating the card or changing to the other PCI slot.

  • Any problems with K8N neo4-FI and Creative X-FI Xtreme Music ???

    Hi. Anyone having problems with the mentioned combination. (I've heard about incompatibility issue with creative and nforce4 chipsets) and since I have the mentioned board I would like to avoid future problems and maybe go with Audigy 4 instead. Thanks in advance.

    Here's MSIs technical support answer:
    Sometimes before, there was incompatibility issues between the X-FI Xtreme card and motherboards based on nforce 4 chipset. And then, Creative official has stated it existed on almost noforce4 motherboard, not only some or one manufacturer, so user met this issue should contact Creative.
    But from Creative's official statement as you find, they thought it caused by nforce4 chip, but our motherboard chipset is from NVIDIA. If NVIDIA had no plan to change the chipset architecture, we can't solve this issue. So we suggest you'd better not use this audio card if you use this MB.
    Best wishes,
    MSI Technical Support
    Now when I think about it, I have been using SB live 5.1 for years now and I have changed several platforms (VIA KT 400, Nforce2 (Soltek, Epox), Nforce 3 (soltek) and finaly Nforce 4 and have noticed strange behaviour with many of them in combination with mentioned card (I had to remove additional raid controller card because of skipping video and audio during video capturing on Nforce 2 platform). Now with SB live 5.1 removed, on MSI neo 4-FI it seems that occasional freezing of video on my DVB-T Pinnacle card has gone. I was convinced that the reason was weak reception (although my neighbour from just a few blocks away had excellent picture), but now I am not so shure. I don't know if I want to risk the possibility of repeating all those problems again even if it' "The most powerful audio processor in the world".

    Mesh computer send 3 same cd but it not work
    Souund card working ok under windows xp.
    How problem?

    I bought the same soundcard and experienced the same problem as you (, but even under windows xp professional). What I did to solve the problem was only to bend the card a little bit downwards by putting a stick between the soundcard and the graphic card
    BTW, do you install a double system on your computer? Are you really sure that your card still work under windows xp now?
    ps: I have also the ASUS mainboard. I wonder, could it be possibly due to the incompatibility between ASUS' pci slot and creative's golden fingers?

  • X-FI Xtreme Music: "Emulated" or W

    HI,
    I just recently bought Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music and I think I have a problem with it.
    Here is my problem:
    In some games (FEAR, Call of Duty) I cant choose EAX support in the sound options.
    On Dxdiag under the Sound tab it says the SB X-Fi Audio is Emulated. I heard it should say WDM.
    Hardware Sound Acceleration level is set on Full Acceleration.
    I tried re-installing drivers, i tried cleansweep, i tried moving the card to another PCI slot. Nothing helps to change it to WDM. One thing I did not try yet is re-istalling Windows, but I dont really want to do that.
    Rightmark 3DSound Test shows me this:
    DirectSound:
    Device: SB X-Fi Audio [EC00] (emulated) (WaveOut 0)
    Features:
    Device has not enough hardware 2D buffers
    Device has not enough hardware 3D buffers
    EAX .0: N/A
    EAX 2.0: N/A
    EAX 3.0: N/A
    EAX 4.0: N/A
    OpenAL:
    Device: SB X-Fi Audio [EC00]
    OpenAL .0
    Features:
    Hardware 2D Buffers 27
    Hardware 3D Buffers 27
    EAX .0: Available
    EAX 2.0: Available
    EAX 3.0: Available
    EAX 4.0: Available
    EAX 5.0: Available
    Also, before X-Fi I had Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit and it was emulated it, but I thought it should be like that.
    Should I be worried about this "Emulate" thing or is it supposed to be like this?

    I posted both directsound and openAL. In openAL it shows that i have EAX support up to 3.0 in the entertainment mode and up to 5.0 in the game mode.
    Under the DirectSound tab it shows me this:
    Device: SB X-Fi Audio [EC00] (emulated) (WaveOut 0)
    Features:
    Device has not enough hardware 2D buffers
    Device has not enough hardware 3D buffers

  • X-Fi Xtreme Music and Inspire 5.1 Digital 5700 speakers NOT Working Digitally

    Can someone tell me why I cannot get the digital I/O jack to ouput the my speakers? I have tried using the creative I/O module plugged into the digital I/O jack then using a coaxial cable or optical to the 5700 speakers and neither works. I tried using the miniplug to digital DIN adapter that came with the 5700 speakers and it doesn't work. I know the speakers are fine cause they work fine using the onboard sound digital ouput. Did Creative do something to the X-Fi line of cards here?

  • X-FI Xtreme Music not detected by Win

    My Creative X-FI Xtreme Music is not detected by Windows XP with SP2.
    what I have tried:
    ) connected the X-FI to each of the 3 PCI slots
    2) installed latest nForce and VGA drivers
    3) installed latest BIOS (version 04)
    4) uncompressed the SB driver exe file and executed SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_09_000\Src\Drivers\setup.exe directly
    The soundcard works fine on a PC with an old ASUS A7V-266 motherboard! Why is that?
    system specs:
    ASUS A8N-SLI
    athlon 64 3000+
    evga 7600GT
    RAM 52 MB

    I had a similar problem that my ASUS A8N-VM CSM board didn't detect my X-FI card properly and the driver setup ended with a blue screen / reboot of my machine.
    A lot of boards with NVidia chipsets of the 4series seems to have that problem.
    With my ASUS A8N-VM CSM I found a solution: updated BIOS to beta version 002 and disabled the onboard IEEE394 (firewire) interface in the BIOS setup. After that I installed the X-FI without any further problems and it's now running very well.

  • X-Fi Xtreme Music Work With SBS560 Speake

    I was just wondering
    Will the Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music work with the Creative SBS560 5. Speakers?
    http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...oduct_uid=7366
    I was just wondering about the connectivity, because the X-Fi uses the 3.5mm jacks.
    Does these speakers use the 3.5mm jacks?
    Thankyou in advance

    Stu,
    Yes the speaker will work with the soundcard. Indeed the speaker are using 3.5mm jack.

  • How to connect SB X-FI XTREME MUSIC with Creative Inspire 5.1 Digital 5

    Hi,
    I want to know what I have to do to connect my x-fi xtreme music with my creative inspire 5. digital 5700 due to listen music with all? 5 twiters. I have windows vista ultimate 32bits. Thanks!?JoanMessage Edited by joanantoni on 07-9-200703:54 AM

    With your Inspire 5. Digital 5700, your best bet is?using the analog Front and Rear input connections on the decoder and connect them to the X-Fi Xtreme Music front (Line Out )?and rear (Line?Out 2)?output connections and then enable CMSS Music or CMSS Movie Mode on your Digital 5700 decoder which will then give you a 4./5. Upmix. Gi'ven that you don't have a Center connection on the the Inspire 5. Digital 5700, no connection can made to the your Front Center satelite speaker/Subwoofer (Line Out 3) on your X-Fi Xtreme Music card. I'm led to understand that Creative speaker systems do not need Bass Redirection to reproduce proper Bass frequencies on your Subwoofer and not on your satelite speakers but you may want to test this simply enabling and disabling Bass Redirection, on your X-Fi Xtreme Music sound card, to your own personal taste. Alternately, you can concurrently connect your Inspire 5. Digital 5700 via the Coxial Digital/PCM Input to the FlexiJack input/output jack on the X-Fi Xtreme Music and then enable Digital I/O mode for the FlexiJack in the Audio Console found in the Windows Control Panel or?in the Entertainment Mode or Game Mode Consoles. Unfortunately the FlexiJack only provides a 2 conductor connection therefore it only supports 2. Speaker system connections?therefore you will still have to enable the CMSS Music or CMSS Movie Modes on your Inspire 5. Digital 5700 decoder to produce a 4./5. sound upmix. Sadly, no optical connection can be made between your Inspire 5. Digital 5700 and your X-Fi Xtreme Music sound card without the installation of the X-Fi I/O Dri've or X-Fi I/O Console at, of course, additional expense. From my standpoint, the X-Fi I/O Dri've is a good value given the number of external inputs and outputs in offers. Again, it's a matter of what your personal connection requirements are and budget. Hope this hel

  • BioShock 1.1 + EAX + Vista 64bit + X-Fi Xtreme Music = no

    I've updated BioShock to v. and EAX option is completely greyed out (disabled). It's suppose to do like this when no Creative hardware is present. But X-Fi XM is there for sure and EAX option should be selectable. I've also tried ALchemy but it doesn't change anything. EAX option is still greyed out.
    My system:
    2.8.0000 BETA drivers
    Vista Home Premium 64bit
    X-Fi Xtreme Music (Retail)
    6 GB of RAM (other hardware is not important i think except RAM capacity which seems to be problematic all the time)
    I want EAX option to work in BioShock!

    I'm well aware that i'm basically screwed if i cannot select the modes (meaning it's basically games fault, if it's not able to properly detect whether i have EAX/OpenAL capable card or not).
    Also, since when Xtreme Music isn't a full featured X-Fi card? Rebadged Audigy? Where were you living for the past 5 years huh?
    Only X-Fi card thats not really X-Fi is Xtreme Audio. And i'm 5000% sure i have the Xtreme Music version (i even changed it for Retail version because reseller sold me Dell OEM card at first). I'm in the hardware stuff anyway so i'm very sure it's the right one.
    I've also downgraded drivers back to 2.5.0006 without any change (yes i used setup.exe and erased all shared files and later used Guru3D Driver Sweeper).
    It's funny though that out of BioShock's milions of copies sold there are only 2 guys complaining about this? Thats super funny.
    Looks like ppl use integrated crappy audio chips, they don't care or know about EAX or they haven't even updated the game to v..
    Yey...

    I have Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Xtreme Music and i'm wondering how can I adjust the settings so I stop hearing myself in the microphone.
    Please answer me, thanks a lot!

    It has when you are in "Audio Creation" mode and set speakers to 5.1 (or 7.1 if you use tripple plugs). You can route any input monitoring and stereo output to any output jacks, and even duplicate it to several jacks. Depending on your audio software you should also be able to route specific tracks to specific outputs (while in the creative console you define what plugs the output channels are send to).

    Hi Andy,
    It depends on the source. On an optical output, you'll get multiple channels through if it's an AC3 source, such as the audio from a DVD. Other/normal audio will only come through as a stereo PCM signal though, so you'll only get 2 channels then. Check this sticky thread for some more detail:
