SOUND MUTING WITH XFI FATALITY TITANIUM AND WINDOWS 7

5SOUND MUTING WITH XFI FATALITY TITANIUM AND WINDOWS 7z Ok sorry if this hasbeen covered before but I searched and couldn't find it so here goes:
I have a two month old XFI FATALTY TITANIUM CARD WITH THE FRONT PANEL BREAKOUT BOX.
It showed up staright away as a hi fi device and the optical output when selected works ok I dunno about surround sound it simply plays great stereo through my Arcam DAC connected up to my stereo.
Problems began when I decided to install the Creative Software. What happens i sit plays for maybe o mins then mutes also I primarily use i tunes and it wont play anything until a few seconds after the music starts.
This is just on optical out if I use standard phono to 3.5mm jack its fine.
What puzzles me is why this happens when using the creative software ? Reverting back to the pre creative software it plays fine I would just like to take advantage of the various functions suplied with creative software?
Any ideas please. FWIW I Completely deinstalled the card and installed? abasic CMI 8738 card and that does the same so maybe its windows 7
Oh spec wise Windows 7 32 bit
4GB RAM
Asus MOBO

Weird... I changed nothing and yeterday it worked...
I just understand this, but what the hell?

Problem with drivers/ sound stopping / vista32bit/ xfi fatal

i have an xfi fatality, installed the latest drivers and since then, sound will stop at random times usually happens when i am pausing something on media player (videos) and it might come back when i reopen the video
sometimes i will watch a video on firefox, and i might not get any sounds at all (sounds completely stop, not only per application)
sound will come back, on its own, at random times. some times i need to restart
i uninstalled the audio console, uninstalled the driver from system, and installed the previous version and i am still getting this problem (i wasnt getting it before)
any solution
thanks a lot.

Is there anybody with any idea what the problem might be?

Xfi fatality. sound problems with other devi

hello all. just recently bought a xfi fatality card,and im trying to connect it to my xbox 360 to get sound, and thats when the problems start.i have a optical cable from my xbox 360 connector to the optical in on my fatality front panel and some headphones connected to the headphone jack, but i get no sound at all. i have also tried the rca inputs on the front panel but no sound there either.tried to hook up a dvd player to just to test it, but like always no sound. its not my xbox thats faulty?as i've tested it on my stereo. could someone please help me im at a loss and dont know what to do.i've tried to change stuff in console but to no use. thanks for your help and?replys paperman?ps have searched the forum but no luck?

I had this problem to begin with, its just because as default the SPDIF in is muted. If you open the launcher in entertainment mode go to the option where you can the volume to each kind of audio and at the top of the volume slider on some of the devices there is an arrow pointing down. Click on this and choose SPDIF and then unmute it. I'm having a further problem now though as i've got the sound playing from my PS2 but i cant get 5. from it on DVD videos only stereo, any ideas?

Breakout box + XFI Fatality

B Hi there, i have an XFI Fatality Pro sound card. The card is fine on its own. I have acquired a breakoutbox which i think is from the elite pro, has the model SB050 on the bottom...
Now using the AD LINK cable i connected it to my sound card, as soon as i do this i get loud static noise untill i either mute sound or remove the AD LINK cable. I've tried individually muting all inputs and outputs on my volume panel but only muting all sound stops the noise...
Am i simply not able to use this breakout box with my Fatality sound card? Or are there drivers i should install to enable the breakout box functionality?
Forgot to mention im on Vista 64, core2duoMessage Edited by Creomortis on 05-5-2009 04:40 PMMessage Edited by Creomortis on 05-5-2009 04:4 [email protected]

to the best of my understanding *(only from past experience, I dont have one of these)* the two are not compatible. The Breakout box you are talking about is for an elite pro, while the Fatality connects only to an i/o dri've or li've dri've as it used to be called. you may have mistakenly connected the breakout box to the MIDI connector/joystick port on the back of the sound card.

XFI Fatality Gamer + GigaWorks S750 + Decoder DDTS-

Dear Sir,
Im using XFI Fatality Gamer + GigaWorks S750 + Decoder DDTS-00 ( just bought it ) and the question is I feel no difference ( Dolby Digital and DTS Effect ) when I'm not using the Decoder.
What I've done is I already :
Connect cable from my soundcard to switch box and then another cable I connect it from my Gigaworks to switch Box. And then from the switch box it self I connect it into the decoder. All the cable im using is the standard from Creative. I haven't used any coax or optical cable.
Looking forward and really appreciated for the assistance.
Many Thanks.

To connect your Soundblaster NX to your DDTS-100 decoder, and let the decoder handle the DD/DTS decoding, you have to connect a digital/optical/coax cable, from the digital output of the NX, to one of the digital inputs on the decoder.. Also make sure you have set the settings on the souncard, to "digital output only", so that the decoder can decode the encoded digital streams, sendt by the soundcard..
if you want to connect your soundcard to the decoder via analog cables, and let the soundcard do the decoding it self, you will need to use a 7.1 analog-audio cable, that comes with both the decoder and the speaker system. Connect the audio cable from the analog output on the soundcard, to the input "switch-box", and set the switch-box to "PC-audio". Also make sure you have connected your speakers to the "switch-box".

XFi Fatality - possible fault. Screeches and p

Hi,
I have a Fatality Pro which most of the time works well, but at random times (can be during games or just whilst using windows) starts to screech and whistle. It sounds like a radio being tuned in. This is under Vista Ultimate with all updates applied and latest drivers. Xfi software from Creative Vista CD and updated. Everything used to work fine under XP MCE so i thought i'd dual boot but the same thing happens with XP now. The only hardware thats changed as far as XP is concerned is my graphics card - going from Nvidia 6600 to ATi 950 Pro AGP versions. Could this indicate a fault with my card?(Full spec:? Asus P4C800 Deluxe mobo, P4 3.06GHz, 2GB RAM, ATI 950 Pro 52MB AGP, Hauppage WinTV Nova 500, XFi Fatalty Pro)?Any ideas/suggestions greatly apreciated. Thanks,?Colin?Have also discovered that as the screeches get louder, CPU useage climbs to a maximum, and the pc becomes unresponsi've. Then there is a whooshy pop sound causing CPU use to drop to nothing and the sounds stop!? All very weird and irritatingMessage Edited by gryphon2 on 07-4-20070:23 PM

Ive got the same problem with my Extreme Gamer, as covered in another post. Creative has been unable to help me, seems they just think" sucks to be you, haha!". Suggestions have come that it might be an issue with X-Fi and AGP cards, or with Asus motherboards. My problem happens mostly when i have had, or having some kind of music player (Winamp, WMP or so) running. But so far nothing has helped. Replace motherboard or ditch the card maybe?Regards,Z

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?

Crackling, Left Rear Channel noise, IRQs, 4 Gigs of Memory, fixes and problems with XFi Fatal

Hello fellow troubleshooters. Well I've been working on my XFI issues since there are so many of them trying to make the one piece in my newly built system work as intended. I will put my hardware info below this post for comparison purposes if it helps you at all or for feedback/ideas. Well first off I had the crackling noise popping so on even when my machine was idle. If you have not done this yet do it
!!! Start, Control Panel, Sounds Speech and Audio Device, Change Speaker Settings, Advanced (in device volume), ok now there is a bunch of sliders go to "options" check everything, ok now that you see all the sliders mute Everything besides: Play Control, Wave, CD Player for testing purpose. You will probably hear a difference as you do it. Especially Mic 2. Ok well that issue resolved my popping crackling noises when idle. Ok so I still have a shared IRQ issue since I have an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe board and the slots go as such PCI-E, PCI, PCI, PCI-E, PCI. Well since the GeForce 7800 GTX cards I have take up not just the PCI-E slot, but also the PCI slot is covered from the Huge Fan. Then the Same thing for the Second graphics card. So I have only one slot that works for my PCI Fatalty sound card. Well this forces me to share PCI IRQ between one of the Video Cards and the Sound Card. Its not a "conflict" it is simply sharing the IRQ, after the above issue fixed my popping issue this no longer was a concern. Now my big issue is that I sent my Sub Woofer in for RMA, I have the Gigaworks S750 7. THX speakers, they are great but when I really crank up the volume on them I would get the sound like a speaker was blown in the left rear channel, so I swapped another speaker in its place and I have the same problem. So the RMA folks said to send in the Sub Woofer which cost me over $30 to ship the thing only to have them tell me there is no problem. Well I had recently done RMAs on my sound card, both Video Cards, and my mother board too in hopes of fixing the next problem. So everything is new though I got a refurb on the mobo. So I'm just waiting on my Sub woofer now so I'm using my headphones and guess what I'm finding there is this noise in the left speaker, an issue I sent the headphones back for a long time ago when I was using them waiting to buy my speakers. I have the Creative Pro Gamer headphones. So now I read a post about someone else with the same issue left channel, and I have to wonder I am not alone and that usually means in Creative Labs land there probably is others with this issue that have spouses that wont let them stretch their audiophile legs with extreme volume, if this is you try it out kick up the bass, and see if you have this problem too, if so please post it here. I have no clue on this one and I am open to any ideas. Ok and the last issue!! This is the real problem I'm facing now. I play EQ2 I love my MMO titles with the occassional single player title for those short stints at the computer between work, parenting, and stuff my wife demands be started before she finishes speaking of it (those of you married know what I'm talking about). I have 2 operating systems, XP Home, and XP Pro 64. Home I use for Office, graphic design, and general applications. XP Pro 64 I use purely for gaming. All my games are installed through this OS which is on my 2 74 Gig Raptors in Raid 0, I have another Partition for XP Home, and a 3rd for all the game installs. So I recently found that after selecting Extreme Graphics option in EQ2 then moving the rest of the sliders to Max that my G5 keyboard which has a performance monitor in it showing the amount of Ram usage showed me hitting about 90% and would spilke at the same time as I found I had frame rate slowdown. So I decided to get 2 more gigs of Corsair Twin XMS 3500Pro 024x2 memory bumping me up to 4 gigs. Well I had to go into the bios I found and change a memory setting to discrete and enable the memory hole in order for XP Pro 64 and the motherboard to see the memory. At this time I was working on other things with my computer, and suddenly the popping noise came back so I'm pissed now.... But oddly its not happening in XP home, only in XP 64. So I'm thinking I may have to go to XP home for my gaming OS, then just before I install home I remember that XP home wont register 4 gigs of memory.... So I go turn off the memory hole and discrete settings and this sets the memory to 2 gigs.... Crackling sound in ALL EAX GAMES goes away.... So now clearly my issue with my sound card and EAX crackling noise is Memory related somehow. Now I have isolated it to 4 gigs of memory, but it makes me think of those folks with this issue perhaps something is amiss with their memory and how it works with timing, or onboard memory on the sound card which is a first time memory is put on a sound card?.... Any input is appreciated as to how to repair this issue, thanks for reading, below is my system set up.

Evolve,
I have the a8n-sli Premium which as you stated is basically the same board with a couple extra items. I have the latest beta bios ver -06. Since the early fall release the option which we will be talking about was available in the premium board which it I remember was Bios rev 9. I would download the latest bios rev.
07.04 (latest beta?or go with 06)?and flash in. Here are the steps to get the proper memory options to work and I have also included my system specs to compare.
) Hit Del to get into Bios
2) Go to the second tab on the top of the screen "Advanced"
3) Select the first option in the menu "CPU Configuration"
4) Select the first option in the "CPU Configuration" menu called "DRAM Configuration"
5) Select Manual configuration from the first Menu item.
6) The last two options in the same menu for DRAM are s/w remapping over 4G and h/w remapping over 4G. Select the "s/w remapping option over 4G" and enable it. Disable the "h/w remapping over 4G."?
7) Hit f0 and save the config.
You should now at post have 4GBws total but only 3GBs of usable memory and your X-fi should crush it in XP64 and XP32.
My Specs
A8n-sli premium (Bios -06)
amd X2 4400 (~2.5 GHZ)
4GB LL patriot memory (~228 HZ)
X-Fi Extreme Music
LSI 320-2e PCI express SCSI RAID controller (256MB buffer)
2x Seagate Cheata 5K.3?dri'ves
All water cooled
Good Luck
PapaH
By the way this is defiantly a XP64 driver problem because even with h/w remapping enabled in XP32 the card sounds fine. It only happens in XP64.

XFi Fatality pro series and front panel sound -lack of- so la

Had to chip in on this forum as I'm quite furious with Creative -and I know I'm not the only one, and since CL's people read this board, then could you please take notice of your custormers? After all, aren't we the ones thanks to whom there is still a CL? Therefore could you please stop insulting our intelligence and regard us as milking cows as well?
When you've spent quite a lot of money on a *high end* card like a X-Fi Xtreme gamer Fatality, who in on earth would be willing and happy to have to fork out for a front panel costing nearly half the price of the card just for the privilege of being able to connect your case front panel headphone and mic to the sound card?! Do I expect the connection from the card to front case audio to come as standard? YES. Do I take it kindly to see a proprietary connection preventing me to do that unless I buy another expensi've toy from CL, or do I want to have to mod a cable or buy a modded one to that effect? NO! CL has voiced concerns that people making/using modded cables could result in damage/fry the card, well who's fault is that if not Creative's? How about doing the decent thing and provide the cable WITH the card in the first place, and even more decent, why not provide these cards' owners with one? Can't be the case of not having such cables since CL is making the proprietary connector for their front panel in the first place. If insisting no such cables are available, then make them!
Meanwhile cards' owners are left with little alternati've if they cannot have their onboard sound (to connect to the case audio) and their CL card coexist without conflict. This is lame at best, arrogant at worse and the same approach as with the cards' drivers -will not go there as there are enough threads about that but for the record, if it wasn't for a certain someone's functional drivers, how many cards would still be in use? I guess it could be said I was stupid enough to get this card, should have known better and go for another make which would not be giving me such grief! I emphasize again, these cards aren't cheap to buy so Creative, I am NOT interested in the forthcoming X-Fi2 series, just provide the present ones with full functionality and the means to at least connect to our case audio without any more expense on our part.

Thanks for that, Cornholio_OH! I've already looked into PC Performance's adapter and indeed noticed that those using it said PCP are wiring it wrong. So I got in touch with PCP about it and they deny the wrong wiring, stating that there's no mistake in how the cable is made but only how cases front ports are wired and grounded (?!). Also, they only provide the adapter for AC97 and not HD audio and some people had trouble with the AC97 connection, though I suppose that's better than nothing
Though you are right that it's an alternati've that may be worth the money, personally I strongly bulk at having to get one of those, especially when adding shipping costs to Europe, it no longer will be worth the money! When nowadays there are cards that do perform as well if not surpassing CL's and who provide the adequate connection and at no extra cost, I am strongly inclined to getting rid of the Fatality -practically brand new one by the way- and go for another make. Call it stubbornness or principle, if us consumers just roll over and give in having to either buy more accessories or modded cables, we're sending the wrong signal to CL and everyone else that it's okay to take us for stupid and milk us.

XFI Fatality And Front Audio Ports On C

Hi guys I have a bit of a question about something that has been nagging me for a while.
I have front audio ports on built into my case that I would like to have working. I know that the sound card came with an I/O Dri've with similar ports on it but it is just bugging me knowing that my case has them also and that they are not working. The case has a headphone and mic jack in front, Problem is that I have no idea if I can even hook them up using the sound card.
Has anyone done this? If so can you help me connect my front ports.
Thanks
Any replies would be appreciated

XFI fatality 24bit " want to be 16bit " sound processing question.

when i bought the xfi extreme music i asked if it's possible to set the sound to 6bit 4400Hz and somebody in here told me it will still be proccessed internally as 24bit.. is that true or did creative labs change the design in the PCI-E xfi chip?
i want the sound to always be set to 6bit 4400Hz for the analog sound.
i hope someone can answer my question.
thank you
