[Help] Creative X-Fi Elite Pro Volume Rem

I have?X-Fi Elite Pro soundcard and Megawork 550 5. speaker. As You know that Elite Pro have an I/O console which have a 9 Pin DIN for remote control. Therefore, I connect my I/O Console with my speaker using the 9 PINS DIN Cable provided by Creative. the problem is, i can't adjust the volume of my speaker at all, it always goes to the max volume no matter how i try to adjust it.

Hi,
I have excactly same problem, tried reinstalling/updating GPU drivers, updating chipset drivers, emptying PCI-slots, putting sound card into different PCI-slots.
Also, it does not seem to have any memory, I/O or DMA conflicts with sound card. Maybe IRQ priorities?
This is what Microsoft says about "Code 2"

Changing AGP Aperture Size to 256 Mb seems to fix the problem, thank you.Message Edited by Vilson on 07-20-2006 0:45 PM

  • Help connect X-fi Elite Pro with DDTS-100 and Gigaworks s750

    Hi,
    I purchased a brand new Gigaworks s750 speakers system, DDTS-100 decoder and X-fi Elite Pro. I connected the DDTS-100 and Elite Pro using Optical Fibre output from the audio console of X-fi Elite Pro to the optical digital input of DDTS-100. With the cables supplied with s750, I connected it to the Decoder DDTS-100. The problem is I am not getting any sound from the rear speakers and the front speakers. Only the centre speakers and the side speakers are producing sound. I could hear loud hissing sound and very very low volume of the music from the front speakers and no sound from the rear speakers. I can hear good quality sound from the centre speakers and average quality sound from the side speakers. What could possibly have gone wrong with my setup ? Somebody please help me. Thanx in advance.

    Hi Richie,
    Thanq for your response. But unlike what you have mentioned, ("what may be happining is the soundcard is decoding the signal and then the ddts is trying to decode it with disatrous results"), In my setup the signal is not getting decoded two times, once by Soundcard and once by the DDTS-100. As I have mentioned that I am taking out an Optical Signal from the sound card to the DDTS-100, the signal comming out from the sound card to the DDTS is Encoded signal only. So there doesnt arise a chance that the signal is getting decoded twice. Can you think of any other reason why my setup is not working? Please let me know.
    regards,

  • 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

    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..

  • Creative X-FI Elite Pro prob

    Hi all, i'm new to this community, recently i just bought the X-FI Elite pro.
    When i first install using the creative driver CD, it has a crack sound from the Sound Card, anyway the installation was successfull. No problem when gamming, but everytime when i change to different mode, the card it self will have a crack sound, izzit normal?
    Thanks

    On certain mobo/graphics card set ups and some sound cards there is an issue with bus latency. In short while playing back audio you will hear a frequent crackling of the audio. That is not the same as the slight click the Elite pro makes when changing modes. It has been a Creative issue for many years but is only present with certain combinations of hardware. I have experienced that issue myself but several years ago. My current Elite Pro/PC set up does not have this issue.

  • Creative X-Fi Elite pro

    C Hello
    I just bought this sound blaster, and I think i've done all the steps correctly.
    The thing is that the software runs good, but the external part doesn't even turn on, and the remote control doesn't work neither. I don't know if I made something wrong or I've bought it broken.
    What do you think about this problem?
    Thank you very much

    Here we have the back

    And here we have the front

    Which would be the connector?
    Thanks!

  • Vista 64, Latest Driver & X-Fi Elite Pro: Audio issue with Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Pes 20

    Hi,i have formatted XP S.P.2 and now i'm using Vista Ultimate 64.I have got an X-Fi Elite Pro and i have installed all the applications using the CD-Rom.I updated the driver, Alchemy and Mediasource to the latest version.The system is totally clean and updated (I used Windows Update when i finished to install Vista and nothing was installed). I would like to know why i cannot play Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 like in XP: when i enter in the game i have a noise (looks like the noise of the needle in old gramophones...) and i cannot use the speakers (Creative ProGamer G500).If i turn the volume to 0 i can hear it too... i have to switch off the speakers or exit the game to delete it.Is it another bug I tried to uninstall and doing a new installation of the game but... no way men... Thanks p.s.After year and 4 months (release date of Vista) is it possible to have a decent driver... The Audio Quality in Vista Ultimate 64 bit is lower than in XP and the same wave files have distortion with the low and middle-high volume (60-70).
    Problems that i have never had in XP... i cannot reinstall XP another time. I bought Vista in 2006 and i cannot use it till you'll release a good sw.
    Have we to wait till 200 for a fuc.ing working driver

    The problem is now official: other customers have problems with some games (Pes 2008 and Crysis in particular). I'll show u the main italian hw. forum. There is a thread of more than 500 pages just about Creative X-Fi: http://www.hwupgrade.it/forum/showth...42043&page=550 I would like to know if u test drivers before sharing... because i don't know what you did in more than year.You should meditate, people... I paid more than 400 $ for an Elite Pro and after year and 4 month i cannot install Vista 64 too for audio issues with mp3-wave files and Pes 2008 or Vista 32 bit for problems with Pes 2008.

  • X-Fi Elite Pro help plea

    I've just got an X-Fi Elite Pro, i slotted it into a spare PCI slot and booted into Windows XP.
    Windows loaded fine, I inserted the driver disk and installed all the software on it. I restarted.
    I get a window pop up saying "Multimedia Audio Controller" detected. I follow the messages to automatically find and install the drivers, after a while i get a message saying "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the neccessary software."
    Can anyone help me on this issue please?
    My X-Fi card has the code "SB0550" written on it btw.

    I've just been looking at the Device ID and the devices supported by the Creative drivers they have.
    My X-Fi Elite Pro defines itself as:
    PCI\VEN_0&DEV_0005&SUSBYB_002002&REV_00\4&CF8C54&0 &08F0
    The hardware itself is listed as:
    PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SUBSYS_002002&REV_00
    PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SUBSYS_002002
    and X-Fi devices are defined by the driver as:
    %XFi.DeviceDesc%=XFi_Device,PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SU BSYS_00202
    %XFi.DeviceDesc%=XFi_Device,PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SU BSYS_00302
    %XFi.DeviceDesc%=XFi_Device,PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SU BSYS_002202

    %XFi.DeviceDesc%=XFi_Device,PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SU BSYS_002602
    It's close but not the same - so where do i get the drivers for my specific card?

  • Help! with X-fi Elite Pro 1. Toslink issue. 2. Phono issue

    :Help! with X-fi Elite Pro . Toslink issue. 2. Phono issue? I'm using a Toslink in and out to a JVC receiver. I can play and record computer sounds that play from creative external box through a Toslink into the receiver then into my receiver speakers. However, I can't record any other sound coming out of my receiver through Toslink into back of box.
    As a separate issue, I can't get the phono jacks on the external box to work. I've tried it with a direct connect from turntable to external box, with and without turntable preamp on, and with the creative box switch on phono and then with the box switch on aux. I then tried it from line out of receiver to aux in in the back and then to line in in frnt of box. Nothing worked. When I tried those setups, I tried it with toslink out of receiver and then with Toslink in receiver.
    I'm using a Dell Vista 64 computer.
    Any help with these issues would be appreciated.

    Wow, guess nobody can help me out here......

  • 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

  • Problems with X-Fi Elite Pro Creative Audio Creation Conso

    Hi I am Sergio Fucchi from Italy and I am 47 years old and I like to create my own CD from my analog li've recording of jazz and classical music.
    I have changed all the top quality of Creative cards: Li've!, Audygy2, Audygy2 ZS, Audygy4 Pro and now X-Fi Elite Pro. Now I have a problem to visualize correctly the console of Audio Creation Mode on my monitor at 800x660 because I can't to resize the windows, but I can only pan it around my screen. With the others modes I have not any problems.
    My video card is an ATI All-in-wonders 9600pro with latest drivers, my PC is an AMD-XP 3000+ with a GB fo ram and s.o. is XP SP2.
    Thank You.

    Sorry to tell you that the Audio Creation Mode Console is designed to work only at 024*768 resolution or higher.

  • X-fi Elite pro DIN out and Creative speak

    hello,
    I have the elite pro and megaworks 550 speakers, I have tried to connect the DIN cable from the I/o console to my sub instead of the original speakers remote control. but it is not work..it's won't turn my speakers on.
    Is someone succeed to do that? maybe with another speakers? someone know how to fix it's
    Thank you very much.

    Some 8 months later people like me are still falling into this same trap.
    The External console is NOT compatible with the Megaworks & Gigaworks speakers (even the 7. versions) or so I am told by Customer Support after 6 weeks of working through the issues.
    Why Creative would design this incompatability into there premier products is beyound me

  • 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/guitar port set up help nee

    Hi people, does anyone know if it's possible to run my guitar port thru my elite pro soundcard, and if so how do I go about connecting the two? Perhaps I'm missing something blindingly obvious, but I just can't seem too figure this one out.
    Any help received with thanks.

    Thanks for your help Sirhunter. Perhaps I could have explained my problem a bit more clearly: I can get a signal into the computer no problem; if I switch to tuner mode on Guitar Port it is obvious that there is input. Getting sound out is a tad more tricky. The normal route would be to unplug the speaker wire from the analogue out on the soundcard, run a cable from the analogue out to the input at the rear of the Guitar Port and then plug the speakers into the headphone socket of the Guitar Port and everything is hunky dory. The trouble in my case is that I have 7. speakers that take up three analogue outputs, and there is only one input on the back of the GP.
    Is there a way round this, or would it be a better option to buy some amp modelling software and go direct through the breakout box and bypass the GP completely? Again, thanks for any assistance or advice.
