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

X-Fi Elite PRO and Vista: dropouts and no sound. Only Changing mode in Audio-Console helps

Hi... Please help me. I have an X-Fi Elite Pro and I am experiencing a very strange problem in Vista 32. Before using Vista, I had no problems at all in XP. Sometimes when I listen to the music (Winamp) and then after listening the music start watching movie, the sound dissappears. I mean the EQ of Winamp freezes and there is no sound at all
!!! Only if I switch audio-console (in Configuration menu) to Games mode (or an other one) and back, the sound comes back... Sometimes it happens, sometimes not. It is very strange. Please, do you know a solution for that?!

In no way a 300W Power Supply has enough power for all your stuff.
2 HDD's, a power-hungry Pentium, a xfi card, dvd burner and many other stuff ...
Problems like this can happen then if your power supply has not enough power to handle all this stuff.
Get a better powersupply that can handle your stuff and I am sure it will work again. In a few cases its also possible that YOU damage your hardware on this way, if it can not get enough stable power, it might mess up your hardware. I also already blowed up a harddisk one day because I have connected too much stuff to one cable. I had 3 HDD's, Mainboard, Lights, Fans and DVD connected to one single cable. All devices there did not get enough power, harddisks made crazy sounds (on/off/on/off very fast) and after that one of my HDDs was bad.
But no ... you can't blame anyone for this. In 99% a bad power supply should not damagae your hardware, it will just make sure it does not work anymore. Since you installed that hardware, YOU are responsible for this. If a hardware-dealer would have to install this card for you, it would be his fault, but now its yours.
BTW: Why do you expect that a 300W suppy is enough!? I mean really ... think about it! See what todays PS can do, take a look how much your pentium already needs ... There are at least 00W gone for your CPU, another 00 for your Videocard and just 00 left for ALLLL the other devices like your harddisks (20-30W each one), DVD, mainboard, soundcard ... In no way this will be enough. You must have missed the last 5 years ...
BTW: I don't think that the software audio console would not work when not having connected the y-power cable. I forget that cable too one time. My console did still work, just in games I got some strange problems a lot of times (no more sound for -2 minutes, crackling and other poroblems) which got solved after I plugged in the power-cable to soundcard.Message Edited by Homey-GER on 0-7-200705:42 AM

X-Fi Elite Pro and Vista, unable to start GRAW and GRA

Help,?Is there anyone using this version of card in Vista and playing GRAW. I cant get the game started at all with the x fi elite pro enabled, Hangs on initial splash screen, around 50% of progress bar. It will work in XP, I have done many installls of OS, using both the drivers on the CD and the latest web release drivers. Would just like to know if i am the only one in this boat, many people are playing this game in vista with the music and gamer version card but none that i know have the elite pro version. Thanks in Advance

Are you guys using your external I/O box under Vista?I know its halfway off topic but my box is completely dead (worked perfectly under xp) and not that many posts here with Elite pro cards so I take the liberty to ask here :-)?/cheers?

5.1 sound X-Fi elite pro and DTT3

Hi all?Ok, so I have an X-Fi Elite Pro, and the DTT3500 speaker setup from Creative. Both very expensi've where I li've. I could get 5. sound from my SB Li've! 5. digital, but no such luck on the X-FI. I've read all the posts, but when speaking to Creative tech support they tell a different story. I know I can get 5. (supposedly) from DVD etc. via co-ax or optical. How do I get 5. from other apps (such as VideoStudio) or games (BF242, etc.) that do not output DD or DTS?I've tried flexi jack to DIN (from card rear panel to the speaker amp), DIN to DIN (from break-out box to speaker amp) and 3 x 3.5mm stereo to DIN (from card rear panel to speaker amp) Nothing works. I get headphone sound obviously, and can get plain stereo sound (although I didn't get this setting right for optical; works with co-ax though)?(excerpt from tech support mail)
To assist you, i would suggest to connect the DDT3500 to the soundcard using the 3.5mm jack and the DIN Cable provided directly to the soundcard through the Digial In and DIN Socket.. enable the "Bit-Steam off" in the Audio Console, 2. select " Digital DIN" on the DTT3500 FacePlateIn case if you need any clarification, please do not hesitate to contactus.(/end excerpt)?I have made up a cable with 3 x 3.5 mm stereo jacks > DIN and got no sound at all from this. Tried all my solutions with digital I/O both on and off.?This is all very limiting, as apart from games that I'd like to enjoy as they're meant to be played, I also do video editing and need to proof my surround mixes. Not very happy Creative. Even the tech guy where I bought the card assured me it would work with 5....

I have never installed the updated applications available in the download page... just applications and driver for Vista 64bit inside the cd and i updated the driver with the latest one. Anyway, I: Reformatted and installed Vista.
Installed Chipset Drivers.
Installed Video Drivers.
Downloaded and installed JUST the latest SB drivers and i have that **bleep**-ing error window...Guys, it's 2 years i try to install Vista...Have i to destroy this sound card If i have to change it, i'll never buy another creative product in all my life (and till today i have bought 3 sound cards, 2 webcam, 4., 5. and 2. speakers for every computer we have in the office...). Thanks p.s.What is the DMLL.exe service, please
If i enter in the "Task Bar" is visible... if i close it and i restart the computer i find it... How can i delete it forever

TV/ SKY Digital Sound Through MY X-FI Elite Pro and Gigaworks s

Hi i am trying to find out if i can get sound from my tv/sky digibox to pass through my gigaworks s750's.
I have just got hold of a new Sony Widescreen TV and a sky digibox both seem to to have audio out right and left on the back of them. On the computer side of things i have a X-FI Elite Pro and the Gigaworks S750's.
Im not sure about all of this so was hoping somebody in here could help.
Any Help on what i need to do or buy would be great
ThanksMessage Edited by Effigee on 2-5-2005 0:25 PM

Hey man, thanks for pointing me in the right direction! I started messing around with the Phono 2 dials on the unit and was having no luck what so ever. I then wanted to try my microphone to make sure that it was still working from all the changes I had made. Well, when I hit the record button and talked into my mic it showed something being recorded, so I knew my mic was still working... But.... when I played the recording, It was the recording from the T.V.!!! At this point I knew I was close to getting this issue solved.

I ended up having to open my "Sounds & Audio" controller within the Windows XP Control Panel and then going to the volume section of the XF-I card and then going to file, properties, and then check the "Phono 2" port off so that I could see it listed with all of my other volume and sounds controls. I then un-muted it as you said and Bam!!!!!!! Guitar Hero on my PS2 was pumping out at my full 500W!!!! I nearly went death from the experience, but it was very gratifying!!!

Thanks for your post. It really helped to point me in the right direction. I'm now thinking of digitizing all my vinal records now into MP3's too! Thanks again man, you?re the bomb!

X FI elite pro and gigaworks s750 no sound from speakers but sound from headphones please h

hi
i own an x fi elite pro and a gigaworks s750
thing is i recently had to format my computer, before which i was getting surround sound through my speakers and headphones normally.
however i can now only get sound through my headphones.
I have the latest drivers installed and i am bald due to pulling all my hair out
if you can help please do
appreciated

realwiz,
There's a setting in the mixer software where it instruct the soundcard to mute the speaker when headphone is connected to the I/O dri've bay. Perhaps you can check if that setting has been enabled.

Help with Optical Audio, w/X-Fi Elite Pro, and Logitech Z-5

Hi,
I need help with optical audio on my X-Fi Elite Pro, and Logitech Z-5500 speakers. I have everything connected, and sound comes out, but NO 5. Surround. This is pissing me off beyond belief. I have it all connected, and set to 5. Surround, and on my Logitech's I have it set to opical in, and have tried ALL effects, stereo, strereo 2x,[Dolby Sign] PL II Movie, [Dolby Sign] PL II Music. I have tried the sound card set for an external decoder, and the sound cards' decoder, and tried both with all optical settings on the sound card. It doesn't give me surround with optical... And I would REALLY appreciate help.
My drivers are up to date.
Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!!!
Yan N. B.

Except if you send DD/DTS multichannel sound to your receiver, you'll not have surround sound with digital connection. did you read the stikies?

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
Spec:
OS: Windows Vista x64 Build Version 6.0.600 (SP ENG)
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair nForce 590sli
CPU: AMD 5200+ FX-62 Dual Core Black Edition
RAM: 4xgb Corsair Dominator 066mhz (running only 932)
Sound: Creative Elite Pro
GFX: nVidia Gainward 8800GTX
PSU: CoolerMaster Real Power 000watt
HDD: 2x Western Digital Raptors X (2x50gb)
IDE: x DVD Liteon x8 burner and x CDRW Lite On Burner x52
USB 2x USB Devices Mouse and Keyboard
Lan Ethernet cable
Lan2 Disabled
Nothing gets overheated etc...
Everything got latest drivers etc...
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..

X-Fi Elite Pro and ASUS P4P800-E Mobo...any issu

[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">Hi. ?I posted this in the thread about the N-force mobo problems with the range of X-Fi cards...pages and pages...and I've also read the thread on BF2 performance drop problems. There seems to be a lot of angry and frustrated users of these cards who feel like beta testers... I followed the threads that went over several months with varying degrees of success...but overall a lot failure to use a sound card that was highly expensi've and hyped to provide wonderful benchmarkings and wonderful sounds.[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">?[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">I've ordered the Elite Pro this week ($900 AUS) and then I read these threads... I haven't got it yet and I'm thinking my extremely stable system with an old Audigy 2 Platinum on it is looking like the superior device at the moment.[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">?[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">Does anyone have one of these cards on the P4P800-E Deluxe mobo? Does it work okay? I don't like my chances of approaching ASUS for a mobo bios flash as . they don't respond to tech help (for me at least) and 2. they have moved on to 'bigger and better' things.[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">?[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">Let us know if you would please because I won't even unpack it... I'll just send it back.[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">?

[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">Okay. Thanks for that guys. I hope these issues are sorted out for everyone soon. I'm going to update my system next year after Vista has a chance to settle in and mobo vendors and Creative have some time to sort out their various bugs.[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">?[size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">Cheers

X-Fi elite pro and drivers SBXF_PCDVT_LB_2_15_0002 (wheird noises , no sou

Hi guys,i have a problem with my x-fi elite pro.When install the latest driver(SBXF_PCDVT_LB_2_5_0002) works fine but when i close the pc or reboot a strange sound comes through the speakers and no audio. I wonder if this is a problem of my x-fi or just the software. I run creative diagnostics and find it ok,but when i test the chanells works only left. Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.

May I ask what makes you so sure its Creative drivers? I dont have that problem with these drivers? Even if the problem is sound related it could be something to do with Vista, or that you are using corrupt codecs? Or something like that, im no CL fanboy thats too blind to see that CL isnt perfect, but sometimes people take for granted that when some issue is related to sound, it automatically is CL driver/hardware problem?! And you could be right, it can be Creative, but it hasnt have to be. Try re-installing youre video/audio codecs, and try re-installing youre video software if youre using third party player. I know i have problems with streaming, but my problems arent Creatives fault, its more of an issue with Adobe Flashplayer/Quicktime not working properly with 64-bit drivers/OS.

X-Fi Elite Pro and Radeon 5870

Hello, I've just added Radeon 5870 to my system. I observed some strange behaviour of my X-Fi Elite Pro since then.
Sometimes, when the sound goes really deep it sounds distorted. It never happened before neither with Radeon 3870 nor 4870.
Did you encounter this problem too? I'm thinking about ATI drivers, since they are in the eraly stage.
Every help is appreciated.

The software is named as MediaSource Audio Converter. It comes w/ the MediaSource package which can be found at support/downloads too.
BTW, XtremeAudio is not based on same hardware that those othed X-Fi (PCI) models are so, if you have Li've! 24-bit/Audigy SE/Value or any Audigy 2/4 card there already then you perhaps don't get any other advantage but those couple of bundled additional software only (as like the Chrystalizer).
You can rip CDs and record audio directly to mp3 format by simply using MediaSource Player ... I don't know if there are support for edit VOB or DAT format files (least creative wavestudio 5.0 didn't support) but, supposeingly, there are 3rd party software for this task available.

MacBook Pro and Vista

Hi all,
Our company develops software for Windows Management in the Enterprise space, and I spend most of my time demoing the software in a VMware environment.
A while ago, someone recommended that I should look at buying a high spec MacBook Pro, and installing Windows Vista and VMware Workstation on it, as the performance will surpass the highest spec PC out there.
I currently run a Dual Core 2.33GHz Dell Precision M90, with 4Gb of RAM and a 512Mb dedicated graphics card.
Due to the Intel chipset, the hardware only sees 3Gb of the 4Gb DDR II memory available.
I spend most of my time within VMware workstation hooked up to a high spec projector (hence the decent graphics card)
Is it true?
Would a MacBook Pro be better?
Specifically, I wouldn't want to run dual boot in a Boot Camp Scenario, as the Mac OS wouldn't be required (I have no apps for this anyway)
Also, I probably wouldn't be interested in VMware Fusion at this stage, as I understand it is not as stable yet as VMware Workstation for the PC.
... it would certainly be funny to demo our Windows Management software on an Apple!!!
Your comments and advice would be much appreciated!

techydude,
"Exclusivist?" No, not at all. And, I do not disagree about the potential for conversion, either.
However, I try to avoid whatever "evangelical" tendencies I might have. Sure, if someone comes here inquiring about OS X, and it seems apparent that they are looking for relief from Windows, I will wax eloquently (well, I'll wax) all day about the advantages of OS X.
I have a rather pragmatic approach, but I also have an eye for "elegance." In either mode, it doesn't make sense to me to purchase an Apple computer, only to run Windows exclusively. Thinking pragmatically, it is a no-brainer that the purchase of a PC with Windows already bundled makes more sense than a Mac which would require the additional cost of a full license for Windows (just for starters). Since neither option would present a savings or price premium, provided one is comparing similarly-configured machines, one must look at the inherent value to the end user represented by each option. If the end user has no intention of running OS X, the Mac immediately loses every bit of its advantage over a PC, value-wise.
And (as I mentioned before), purchasing a Mac just to run Windows is simply not "elegant." In the same vein, I see no reason for someone to own and drive an SUV just because they want to or can. In my book, there's no legitimate reason to burn more fuel than necessary unless one is towing a large trailer (camper, boat, etc.), and the entire concept represented by "Hummers" is abhorrent to me.
If this makes me "Exclusivist," then so be it.

Acrobat 7.0 Pro and VISTA

Just FYI,
Acrobat 7.0 Pro does not work with Vista. It will continually ask for re-activation even though it is activated the first (and subsequent) times.
This is not a complaint. Acro 7.0 preceded (and was never intended for) Vista. Just thought it would be helpful to have this fact clear (to avoid calling customer support and being told on the SECOND call that this is the case).
Will definitely upgrade to Acro 8 or 9. Acrobat is an invaluable tool.

You may get a few responses. A few have apparently been successful with AA7 and VISTA, but I am not sure of the stability of such installations. You might want to provide a few more details of what you have run into, installation process, and such, so that they might answer. I think your data may be adequate, but if you have more it would help. The upgrade is likely a good idea in any case.
