DD/DTS decoder on X-Fi Xtreme Music and Vista x64

Running X-Fi Xtreme Music in Windows Vista Business 64 Bit, connected to 7. speakers (analog, no external decoder).
The most recent driver 2_8_0008 enabled the decoder tab in the soundblaster control panel. So I switched to internal decoder. Played a DVD in PowerDVD, setting output to S/PDIF. Everything like I did in Windows XP, but no sound in Vista. Help please!

The rest of the system is 8800GTX, Corsair 580w PSU, Intel Core 2 Duo 4300 @ .8GHz.
As I said I have tried pretty much everything I can think of, I bought the card brand new from eBuyer. Basically am i missing some files somewhere that I should delete before attempting a re-installation of the drivers?
Thanks for the reply CLKillerWanted.

    I have a lot of problems with Vista driver. There is only one driver and it doesn't work correctly. Sometimes I have very bad noise, the sound skips, and it often has disturbance. When I connect the integrated sound card there are no problems. But I didn't give 00 $ for noise and to use intergrated soundMessage Edited by Botev92 on 05-29-20070:4 AM

    Well to give Creative their due even if they took their time there are new drivers out for the X-Fi Xtreme Music and Vista and they work just fine. You can even select the different modes (entertainment, Game or Audio Creation) from within the Audio Console menu. Link:http://us.creative.com/support/downl...type=0&x=3&y=9

  • SB Xtreme Music and Counter-strike Source He

    Hello,
    I have a sound blaster xtreme music and I play the game counter-strike source. I have having a problem with the surround sound. I can hear everything around me except behind me when I play. Ive tried everything to get it but I just cant figure? it out. Can some help me!

    I do not have other games, only CSS - well the valve games i bought.
    When I am in Ventrilo, the others hear me with the audio creation, I can change the effects and they hear it. Although, in counter strike, it makes no change to my audio- my audio just sounds normal, so I thought the diagnostic from SB would show me something. The above error might be the reason, but I do not know what that actually means.
    Thanks

  • SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Music - Windows 7 x64 (Temp Fix)

    Here is my issue, I have a Dell XPS 70 with this card in it. I have Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installed and everything works perfect except for sound. I get very little sound, and what I do get is HIGHLY distorted. Sometimes my sound card locks up and I have to end explorer.exe and restart it.
    This happens in XP x64 and Vista x64 in ALL versions as well. The reason this happens is because I'm using 4 GB of RAM. I actually throttle down my memory to 3 GB using MS Config.
    If anyone else having this issue can offer me some sort of advice so I can not only get my Gb of RAM back, I'd like to add more in the future.
    Dell XPS 70 - Windows 7 Ultimate - 4x GB RAM, GeForce 8800GTX, SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Music

    YRe: I tried that yesterdayRe: SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Music - Windows 7 x64 (Temp Fix)j Did your system actually see the whole 4 gigs? Some systems dont see all the ram to begin with and the memory hole fix or anything else do not work. I had an Asrock 939 board that could not see all four gigs of ram in Vista or Windows 7. I changed to a Gigabyte board and have had no problems since. Dell uses a lot of less-expensi've boards that may or may not have this incompatibility. You can check and see if they have issued a chipset driver update or even a bios update for your system. I did have to swap my motherboard though for my system to see past 3 gigs, let alone use it correctly. Since I moved away from Nvidia chipsets I have been really lucky with what I can or cannot put in my system.
    I use a Gigabyte with an ATI/AMD chipset and I have been lucky enough to escape the SNAP, CRACKLE, and Pop people talk about......

  • 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?

    Xtreme Music
    Been having problems with sound since installing Win7 Pro 64 bit. I previously ran my system on XP Pro 32-bit. The sound just isn't the same as before. Since the original CD that came with the card is not compatible with Win7, I was forced to download and use the drivers on Creative's website.
    Note that I am using the same EXACT settings I had back when running XP at 35% max volume.
    Since Windows 7, I am forced to run at 20% max volume, yet music and in-game sounds sound distorted from time to time.
    Could there be an explanation behind this?

  • Problem X-Fi Xtreme Music and Console Launcher

    Hello, (I'm german student, so sorry for my english)
    I re-installed Windows 7 32bit a few days ago.
    Now, I already fixed the problem with Console Launcher as a tray icon.
    I installed the latest drivers from Creative and Console Launcer from CSL_PCAPP_LB_2_60_29.
    But I have the problem that the Console Launcher does not save my settings like bass to 60% or activating X-Fi Crystalizer. So if a change one of these settings and reboot my pc....everything is set back to normal.
    Help would be great.
    Thanks

    If no one has an idea, could please someone tell me which drivers he installed to run a X-Fi Xtreme Music on Windows 7 32bit with Console Launcher perfectly.
    Thanks!

  • Xtreme music and C&

    Hi guys,
    Just found this lovely issue Creative forgot about. Music card needs to be switched between entertainment and game mode. Is that necessary for other better cards? Anyway, I have it on game and I was playing C&C and then got to those movies between levels, well, now I can barely hear what they are saying because I should be in entertainment mode, not in game mode. What do I do?

    Hello,
    First of all, thanks for the answer.
    Yes, but when I try to click on the SuperRip button, the programm says that a component to upmix the cd is failing and I should reinstall the programm.
    I have tried It about four times, deinstall the whole mediasource programm and reinstall it, but It's everytime the same.
    Do you have any idea, that can solve the problem?
    Sorry for my bad english, but I am German...

  • Xtreme Music and Plati

    Argh...
    These two X-Fi cards are so similar in specifications that I can't really choose. However, I know that the Platinum has a remote control and I/O Dri've (what is it for, by the way). Once I get pass this stage of deciding, I can then be able to learn how to fix the card into the PC , I'm rather hopeless at hardware.
    Thanks in advance.

    The only diff tween those 2 cards is the Bay. The advantage over the music card is you are very limited , connection wise, without a bay. There are only 4 connectors on the actual card L L2 L3 and a flexi jack that will serve as either a digital, Line in or mic in so if you like to use apps like Team speak and such will have to play switch the cables alot. The bay will also give you a headphone jack, Digital in/outs, a Mic2 jack, midi in/out and an RCA aux in 2. You can buy the bay later on for I think around $80 so my suggestion is look at the 2 prices and go from there. If you never ever plan to use any of the features of the bay then go with the music. If the plat isnt much more, less than $80 diffrence and you do want the extra's then get the Plat so you will have the connections when you need em.
    Just my 2 cents on the subject.

    ps.
    I can play it in Cakewalk, but I can not assign a MIDI file to it and have it play it without getting the same kind of pops I was getting in stand alone mode. I read an earlier post about problems with NVidia and that is the maker of my motherboard. I have not had any problems with the pops in instances where I am just playing audio from a CD or?by playing a wav. or mp3. I bought this card because of the the ASIO?2.0 compatibility, but I am starting to have my doubts on whether or not this card can handle what Creative claims. Anyone got any ideas? I appreciate any help I can get.

    Have You forget? You are back in the 80's again! Use Creative Cr..s Mode Switcher and manually switch to Game Mode. And don't forget to manually switch to other Mode before launching any other applications. If You don't have Mode Switcher (Volume Panel) in system tray and obvoiusly don't have any system slowdowns and not experioncing high RAM usage that means You don't have Creative Bloatware installed. You can find it on X-Fi instllation CD.

  • 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
