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".

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:

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 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?
Thanks for any replies,

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

Xtreme Music Question!

Hey everyone I HAve Vista 64 bit home now I also have a creative x-fi xtreme music. Now what driver do i use?! cause when I go to the site to DL drivers theres not option for xtreme music only for gamer and xtreme audio. So im def confused, any help would be aprreciated. THanks

I believe its the same drivers as all the other x-fi (except xtreme audio)
Soundcard, Soundcard, we don't need no stinkin' soundcard

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

Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Xtreme Music prob

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!
BladeCris

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).

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music & Creative Digital I/O Mod

I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music and I am told by the USA Creative website that I can attach a Creative Digital I/O Module (see link below). What I want to know is, will the optical output on the Creative Digital I/O Module produce a stereo, 5., 6. or 7. output? Or even all of these?

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:

Creative XFI Xtreme Music & Nforce6 prob

I recently upgraded my computer system from a MSI Nforce4 motherboard and a AMD-FX 55 processor to a Intel Quad core Q6600, and a MSI Nforce 6 650i P6N SLI Plantinum (or is it premium? i can't remember) Motherboard. After this change i started to get random system crashes. After many many many days of trouble shooting and formatting, i narrowed down the problem to my Creative XFI Xtreme music sound card. When my system crashes, the system will freeze with all but some sound glitches (if playing anything with sound at the time). Only way out is to reboot. No errors in the event logs indicated to me what could have been the problem.
Even though i have updated all system drivers, Bios, formatted, even used the creative XFI Beta drivers the only thing that solves my system crashes is the removal of the xFI card itself from the system. (yes i have disabled onboard audio). So my question is, Does anyone have any experiences with the Generation XFI cards and a Nforce6 based motherboard that has had a issue like this? Or is it just a compatibility problem with the MSI P6N 650i SLI board itself? Could even be the card has gone bad, however these problems only started after changing hardware which leads me to beli've in a compatibility problem. Could it be the card needs a newer EPROM Chip?
Any users with the same issue or similiar?
Thank you very much.

Thank you everyone for your replys. To answer the Questions (Hope i get them all).
. I was running WinXP Pro before, and currently Am still running WinXP Pro.
2. I Did as well change PCI Slots with the same end result of the system freezes/crash.
3. Toronto699, yes i have noticed the problem only goes away when the SOund card is removed, so at least i Now know i am not alone in this problem.
I figured that nforce 5/6 must be a issue, although i know there are many people out there that are running XFI cards on these chipsets, it does appear from all of the complaint posts through-out this forum that the latest drivers are not up to speed with all of the newer motherboards/chipsets out there. Esp since it Did work fine on my Nforce4 board (which i know there was a bug Even with the XFI and nforce4 chipsets early on tho i never had any), and only after i changed over did the problem start happening, which lead me to beli've in a incompatibility issue.
Even though i will probably never come accross a fix.. IF i do, i will be sure to post it.
once again, thank you for all that have replied.

Windows vista 64 bits + xfi xtreme music + logitech g51 + SWAPS CHANN

Hello ! I am heber from argentina! bs as! federal discrict! Hey guys! you are soo cool! you help me a lot of times! but now i have to write to you becausa i dont get a solid solution to my problem. I search and see that there are some users with the same problem but i dont see a solid answer. The things that i do to try the fix the problem was clean and unninstall the drivers and soft with tools like driver sweeper etc and install the last driver but the result is the same. The only thing i found like a temporal solution when the problem happend its do the the assignement in the panel thx. I want to ask you if there is a solution, a permanent one...plz! becausa i am going to the thx panel like 30 times per day!!! i am going crazy! For more details i copy and edit a message from a user that have the same problem that i , read it plz : Ever since installing the latest drivers, 2.5. or whatever they are, I have sound and 5. support now using an X-Fi Xtreme music with Vista 64 bit (2GB), The card just randomly swaps channels on me. What I mean is, if I start from a fresh boot, I'll get all 5 speakers working in a 5. movie or video game or mp3. Shortly after though, it will swap all the sound to only the back channels and then only teh front channels, and sometimes only the center channel. Most of times it does in pairs , meaning that it wont be like front left and back right, always both back speakers and then both front speakers. Either way, it totally breaks the surround sound and it's rather annoying to hear the sound travel from front to back etc. Is there some way to fix this or anyone know the cause of this I'm about done with Creative and their crappy support for Vista. I might have to go back to on board 5. support if this keeps up. Well if you need something else! please let me know! and if you give me a hand i will be very happy ^^ . Thank you and a big hugh from argentina! PD: PLZ CREATIVE! YOUR SOUNDCARDS ARE THE BEST ! IN MY OPINION! BUT YOUR DRIVERS AND SUPPORT NEEDS MORE ATTENTION! PLZ!!! DO SOMETHING! FOR YOUR BEST!!!!!!

THIS IS A 3RD PARTY METHOD AND OF COURSE THERE IS NO SUPPORT !!!
BEFORE YOU PROCEED PLEASE UNISTALL EVERYTHING AND USE DRIVERSWEEPER OR DRIVERCLEANER TO CLEAN YOUR REGISTRY TOO !!!
Ok here's a new alternative way that new driver will work 100% both XP and Vista (32/64)
install the 2007 suite (please do custom and do not install the audio drivers except everything else)
http://rapidshare.com/files/09758046/2007Suite-PAX.part.rar

http://rapidshare.com/files/09770659/2007Suite-PAX.part6.rar
(please burn the suite on a CD or DVD)(some applications have been moddified from the original 2007suite-pax, please re-download the suite!!!)
Ok after the installation of suite is finished do not restart your PC and install the following drivers:
http://rapidshare.com/files/09755063/SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_5_0006_FX.rar
Now you can restart the PC. Tested with all versions of windows (Windows XP / Vista both 32 and 64 bit !!!)
Master Volume works, remote control works too... CHECK IT OUT
