Help with X-Fi Titanium

Hi, guys
I am on a Win7 OS & have just installed the X-fi Titanium.
Installed all drivers & software, connected my PC to my home surround system via digital out.
Here is my problem, when I switch my settings to DTS connect or Dolby Digital Li've, I am able to get sound thru the Creative speaker set up & I also get system sound thru, but I can't get sound playing video/audio files. When I turn DTS connect or Dolby Digital Li've off, I get sound thru, but obviously as PSM.
Is there anybody out there that can give me some help with my problem?
Thanks in advance,

To be honest with you Boon2 I have gotten the best results by installing in safemode & cleanboot state. I have tried installing the regular way from the desktop, but had no luck at all, that is why I'm here now because I couldn't install the software normal way. I've tried the install method suggested by creative T/S which was to install in a cleanboot state and delete the previous install in cleanboot & reinstall while in cleanboot I had no luck, I have also used Dri'vesweeper to delete all creative drivers while in safemode & regular way from the desktop.
The problem I think is the soundcard? is not being recognized, because when I finally got everything to install, software wise, when I reboot I would?get found new hardware (AUDIO DEVICE ON HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO BUS) and in my device manager, I have a yellow (!) by OTHER DEVICES: AUDIO DEVICE ON HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO BUS? And under the SOUND, VIDEO GAMING CONTROLS I have the following listed: AUDIO CODECS, LEGACY AUDIO DRIVER, LEGACY VIDEO CAPTURE DEVICES, MEDIA CONTROL DEVICES & VIDEO CODECS.
New if I try and delete the MS UAA BUS DRIVER from System Devices, then that would get ride of the AUDIO DEVICE ON HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO BUS? and I can install the latest CreativeDriver XFTI PCDRV LB 2 7 0006. But as soon as I reboot I get FOUND NEW HARDWARE WIZARD for MS UAA BUS DRIVER the driver installs for it and this also puts the AUDIO DEVICE ON HIGH DEFINITION BACK in my device manager.
How can I permanently get ride of the MS UAA BUS DRIVER?

  • Help with X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pin Read

    Need help looking up the pin readouts on the X-Fi Titanium Fatalty. The manual describes two different Titanium models: SB0880 and SB0886. The former only has connector pins for Intel HD Front Panel audio. The latter does not have these pin connectors but has only proprietary DID_EXT (digital, 2 pins [6 top row, 6 bottom row]) and AND_EXT (analog, 8 pins [0 top row, 8 bottom row]) pin connectors.
    Does anyone know where I can find a description of the pin layout of the AND_EXT and DID_EXT connectors? Again, although the Intel connectors are described in detail, these ones are not described at all in the manual. I'm trying to use an internal aux connector from my tv card to the sound card, so I'm trying to see if I can make a custom cable to do this. Otherwise, I'm using an external line out cable for now. The optional I/O dri've does have aux rca inputs on them.

    Hard to say, just because the sound is cutting out it may not be the card that is the issue. This could be cause by pretty much anything - drivers, bug apps, other hardware problems etc etc.
    If you haven't done a system reset recently, i.e. re-install OS, drivers and programs you could try that to see if the issues remain. Sometimes moving the audio card to another PCIe slot can sometimes help.

  • Help with Powerbook G4 Titanium

    I just bought a second hand Powerbook with original Airport card. The card recognizes my wireless router but can't connect to it. It's running OSX 10.4 and its a Buffalo Airstation WHR-G125 router. Its set for WPA encryption. Any advice? I have checked system profiler and the card seems to be working ok.

    Ensure that the Buffalo is using an 802.11b compatible mode.
    Try configuring the Buffalo to use a channel between 1 and 11.

  • Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium

    +Need a little Help with my new xfi titanium< A few questions here.
    st question? Im using opt out port on the xfi ti. card and using digital li've on a windows 7 64 bit system,? I would like to know why when i use 5. or 7. and i check to make sure each speakear is working the rear speakers wont sound off but the sr and sl will in replace of the rear speakers. I did a test tone on my sony amp and the speaker are wired correctly becasue the rear speakers and the surrond? left and right sound off when they suppose too. Also when i try to click on? the sl and sr in the sound blaster control panel they dont work but if i click on the rear speakers in the control panel the sl and sr sound off. Do anyone know how i can fix this? So i would like to know why my sl and sr act like rears when they are not?
    2nd question? How do i control the volume from my keyboard or from windows period when using opt out i was able to do so with my on board? sound max audio using spidf? Now i can only control the audio using the sony receiver.
    Thank you for any help..

    I do have a sony 7. reciever str de-995 its an older one but its only for my cpu. At first i didnt even have THX installed because it didnt come with the driver package for some reason until i downloaded the daniel_k support drivers and installed it. But it doesnt help in anyway.
    I have checked every where regarding the first question and alot of people are having problems getting sound out of there rear channels and the sound being re-mapped to the surround right and the surround left as if there rear left and rear right.
    I read somewhere that the daniel_k support drivers would fix this but it didnt for me and many others.
    For the second question i assumed it would be becasue of the spidf pass through and that my onboard sound card was inferior to the xfi titaniums. But i wasnt sure and i was hopeing that someone would have a solution for that problem because i miss controlling the volume with my keyboard.

  • Need help with computer freezing up.

    I seem to be having some trouble with my computer freezing up from time to time. Usually it's when I'm using the program Transmission or Toast Titanium. I can't access the applications files, the Dock icons or do any force quit on the programs. Also I can't do a restart or shut down. I have tried using the keystrokes to shut down and restart, but as well this doesn't work. Everything gets frozen. The only way I can stop the freeze is to manually turn the computer off by the on/off button in the back of the computer. I have heard it is really bad to do so. What else could I do when the computer is frozen like this to get it unstuck? Also being that this has happened a few times, how do I correct the programs so that it won't keep happening?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    When you run a program in Mac it loads the necessary information to the RAM and access it from there. If other programs are running in the computer along with the Toast Titanium then there is a possibility of the memory unable to address all the requirements. The best way is to keep an eye on the memory usage from Activity monitor when you start using the Toast next time.
    While trying to burn the data into a CD the files are first loaded into the memory so that it will be written to the disk. So what I will suggest is to close all the applications and wait for a reasonable amount of time to see whether the computer frees up memory and starts to write onto the disk.
    If not, you will also need to free up some hard drive space.
    Also in the ~/Library/Logs/Crash Reporter look for crash files and see what is causing the issue.
    Shutting down the computer with the Power on/off button is not that good however if nothing else is working, you have no choice other than that.
    Hope that helps....
    I wanted to add few more tips.

  • Can you help with wireless usb printing?

    I have a D-Link router ([DI-824VUP) that works fine as far as geting online and printing to an ethernet printer,(HP1300n) wirelessly. I recently bought this router because it has a usb printer port, yet I can not get it to see the usb printer (Canon S830D). D-Link was no help, as they don't support Apple wireless printing, even though they do support wired printing via their router. QUESTION-any idea how to get powerbook to see the printer when connected to the router? Printer setup utility does not see it, only the HP. Thanks-bobbabe
    OS 10.3.9.
    Titanium Powerbook 667.   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   D-Link router(DI-824VUP)

    Because this forum software is so absolutely USELESS now, you don't get to see the whole of the question in this view. In the other (non-list) view it says:
    "can you help with a technical problem with the stereo imagery option ? it won't take out lead vocal in a stereo mp3"
    And the answer is that if you can't isolate the vocal in the stereo field, or it is one of these odd ones where it's used inverted polarity in different parts of the stereo signal for the same vocal, then you won't be able to. But without a sample, it's impossible to tell. If you can post a link to one, that might help. It has to be external to this site though - Adobe in their infinite wisdom don't allow the posting of audio files on their audio U2U forum. Helpful, that, isn't it?

  • Several problems with X-Fi titanium

    #several problems with X-Fi titanium? hello there,
    i already read a bit through the forums in hope to find a solution for my problems... but i didnt find any and english isnt my mother tongue so sometimes i didnt really understand...
    to my problems:
    i got my 2nd X-Fi titanium a few days ago (first one stoped working after 6 month usage)... i kinda hoped my previous problems would have been gone with the old card, but unfortenately they are still there...
    first: the card does recognize when i plug in my headset into my front pannel and the the sound gets redirected to them... good so far... but when i pull off my headset and i want the sound to go back to my speakers... nothing happens... the card doesnt realize, that the headset is pulled off... i always have to open the software and turn off the "mute speaker automaticl" (no idea how its called in english..., hope you understand)...
    the 2nd problem - and this is the worst one - is that from time to time the soundcard makes weird noise... like a scratching or crackling... its really horrible and the only way to get rid of that is sign off the computer and sign on again... this problem occurs without a warning... when i play a game (like WoW or FFXI online), or while im listening to music, sometimes even when i just work with office...
    i already sent a mail to CL and of course the regular answer: deinstall drivers/software, install the newest ones... i did that but nothing changed...
    is there any way to fix these problems? im a bit frustrated, since i spent a lot of money to get a decent/well quality...
    some informations about my PC:
    windows vista home premium, service pack
    intel core 2 duo @ 2.66GhZ
    2GB Ram
    Nvidia Geforce 8800 GT
    MSI P7N SLI Platinum
    hope you can help... ty in advance
    fen?

    'Re: several problems with X-Fi titanium? Sorry to hear you're still having problems.
    One more thing to check is that the correct drivers are installed. If you check in the device manager, make sure the Creative drivers are installed and not the Microsoft ones.
    Also check in your BIOS that the front panel audio is set to HDAudio.
    Make sure the on board audio is disabled as well.
    -- If that isn't the case
    I see that you've un-installed/re-installed the drivers... I hate to say, but...try again and make sure you have completely uninstalled the drivers before rebooting and reinstalling the latest 2.7.0007 drivers. Try a free uninstaller software called Revo uninstaller. It runs the softwares uninstaller then it searches the registry and HD for remnants.

  • Help with if statement in cursor and for loop to get output

    I have the following cursor and and want to use if else statement to get the output. The cursor is working fine. What i need help with is how to use and if else statement to only get the folderrsn that have not been updated in the last 30 days. If you look at the talbe below my select statement is showing folderrs 291631 was updated only 4 days ago and folderrsn 322160 was also updated 4 days ago.
    I do not want these two to appear in my result set. So i need to use if else so that my result only shows all folderrsn that havenot been updated in the last 30 days.
    Here is my cursor:
    /*Cursor for Email procedure. It is working Shows userid and the string
    You need to update these folders*/
    DECLARE
    a_user varchar2(200) := null;
    v_assigneduser varchar2(20);
    v_folderrsn varchar2(200);
    v_emailaddress varchar2(60);
    v_subject varchar2(200);
    Cursor c IS
    SELECT assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, trunc(f.indate) AS "IN DATE",
    MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "LAST UPDATE",
    trunc(sysdate) - MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "DAYS PAST"
    --MAX (TRUNC (fpa.attemptdate)) - TRUNC (f.indate) AS "NUMBER OF DAYS"
    FROM folder f, folderprocess fp, validuser vu, folderprocessattempt fpa
    WHERE f.foldertype = 'HJ'
    AND f.statuscode NOT IN (20, 40)
    AND f.folderrsn = fp.folderrsn
    AND fp.processrsn = fpa.processrsn
    AND vu.userid = fp.assigneduser
    AND vu.statuscode = 1
    GROUP BY assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, f.indate
    ORDER BY fp.assigneduser;
    BEGIN
    FOR c1 IN c LOOP
    IF (c1.assigneduser = v_assigneduser) THEN
    dbms_output.put_line(' ' || c1.folderrsn);
    else
    dbms_output.put(c1.assigneduser ||': ' || 'Overdue Folders:You need to update these folders: Folderrsn: '||c1.folderrsn);
    END IF;
    a_user := c1.assigneduser;
    v_assigneduser := c1.assigneduser;
    v_folderrsn := c1.folderrsn;
    v_emailaddress := c1.emailaddress;
    v_subject := 'Subject: Project for';
    END LOOP;
    END;
    The reason I have included the folowing table is that I want you to see the output from the select statement. that way you can help me do the if statement in the above cursor so that the result will look like this:
    emailaddress

    v_folderrsn

    Hoping for some help with a very frustrating issue!
    I have been syncing calendar and contacts on my iPhone 5 and Outlook 2007 using iCloud  2.1.3 (my PC is running Vista). All was well until the events I entered on the phone were showing up in Outlook, but not the other way around. I’ve tried the usual recommended steps: deselecting calendar and contacts in the iCloud control panel and then re-selecting, signing out of the panel and back in, and repairing the Outlook installation in control panel.  I even uninstalled iCloud on the PC and downloaded it again (same version). 
    The furthest I’ve gotten is step 2 (and once, step 3) of 7 while performing “Outlook Setup For iCloud.” At that point I get, “Your setup couldn’t be started because of an unexpected error.”  After the first attempt at all this, all my calendar events disappeared from Outlook, although they are still in iCloud calendar and on my phone.
    Sound familiar?  Any ideas on how to solve this iCloud/Outlook issue?  Thanks much in advance!

  • Help with HP Laser Printer 1200se

    HP Support Line,
    Really need your assistance.  I have tried both contacting HP by phone (told they no longer support our printer via phone help), the tech told me that I needed to contact HP by e-mail for assistance.   I then sent an e-mail for assistance and got that reply today, the reply is as follows  "Randall, unfortunately, HP does not offer support via e-mail for your product.  However many resources are available on the HP web site that may provide the answer to your inquiry.  Support is also available via telephone.  A list of technical support numbers can be round at the following URL........."  The phone numbers listed are the ones I called and the ones that told me I needed to contact the e-mail support for help.
    So here I am looking for your help with my issue.
    We just bought a new HP Pavillion Slimline Desk Top PC (as our 6 year old HP Pavillion PC died on us).  We have 2 HP printers, one (an all-in-one type printer, used maily for copying and printing color, when needed) is connected and it is working fine with the exception of the scanning option (not supported by Windows 7).  However we use our Laser Printer for all of our regular prining needs.  This is the HP LaserPrinter 1200se, which is about 6 years old but works really well.  For this printer we currently only have a parallel connection type cord and there is not a parallel port on the Slimline HP PC.  The printer also has the option to connedt a USB cable (we do not currently have this type of cable).
    We posed the following two questions:
    1.  Is the Laser Jet 1200se compatible with Windows 7?
    and if this is the case
    2.  Can we purchase either a) a USC connection cord (generic or do we need a printer specific cord)? or b) is there there a printer cable converter adapater to attach to our parallel cable to convert to a USB connection?
    We do not want to purchase the USB cable if Windows 7 will not accept the connection, or if doing this will harm the PC.
    We really would appreciate any assitance that you might give us.
    Thank you,
    Randy and Leslie Gibson

    Sorry, both cannot be enabled by design.  That said, devices on a network do not care how others are connected.  You can print from a wireless connection to a wired (Ethernet) printer and v/v.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Going to Australia and need help with Power converters

    Facts:
    US uses 110v on 60hz
    Australia 220v on 50hz
    Making sure I understood that correctly.  Devices I plan on bringing that will use power are PS3 Slim, MacBook Pro 2008 model, and WD 1TB External HDD.  My DS, and Cell are charging via USB to save trouble of other cables.
    Ideas I've had or thought of:
    1.  Get a power converter for a US Powerstrip, and then plug in my US items into the strip and then the strip into an AUS Converter into Australian outlet.  Not sure if this fixes the voltage/frequency change.
    2.  Get power converters for all my devices.  But, not sure if my devices needs ways of lowering the voltage/increasing frequency or something to help with the adjustment.
    3.  Buy a universal powerstrip, which is extremely costly and I wouldn't be able to have here in time (I leave Thursday).  Unless Best Buy carrys one.

    Check the specs on input voltage/frequency of your power supplies.
    Many laptop power supplies are "universal/global" and are specced something like 80-265 volts AC 50/60 Hz, but not all.  These will just need a connector adapter.
    Unsure about the PS3 Slim - if it isn't universal it could be difficult as you'll need a 110/220 transformer, one big enough (power-handling wise) for the PS3 will be very bulky.
    For the external WD HDD, if it doesn't have a universal supply, you're probably best off just finding a new wallwart for it that is capable of running on 220/50.

  • Creation of context sensitive help with pure FM 12 usage doesn't work

    Hi,
    I hope somebody is able to help me with a good hint or tip.
    I am trying to create a context-sensitive Microsoft Help with FM12 only using the abilities of FM (no RoboHelp). For some reasons, my assigned ID's are not used in the generated chm file and therefore the help does not work context-sensitively.
    What did I do?
    - I created my FM files and assigned topic aliases to the headers. I did this two ways: a) using the "Special" menue and assigning a CSH marker and/or b) setting a new marker of type "Topic Alias" and typing the ID. I used only numeric IDs like "2000" or "4200",
    - I created a .h file (projectname.h) - based on the format of the file projectname_!Generated!.h (I read this in some instructions). So the .h file (text file) looks like this:
    #define 2000 2000 /* 4 Anwendungsoberfläche */
    #define 2022 2022 /* 4.1.1 Menü Datei */
    #define 2030 2030 /* 4.1.3 Menü Parametersatz */
    #define 2180 2180 /* 6.6.7 Objektdialog Q-Regler */
    #define 2354 2354 /* 6.9.2 Objektdialog Extran Parameter */
    #define 2560 2560 /* 6.9.5 Objektdialog Extran2D Parametersatz */
    - I published the Microsoft HTML Help. A projectname_!Generated!.h has been created. My IDs were not used in this file:
    #define 2000    1
    #define 2022    2
    #define 2030    3
    #define 2180    4
    #define 2354    5
    #define 2560    6
    - When I open the .chm file and look in the source code, the ID even is totally different. It is not the one, I assigned in FM, it is not the one which I assigned in the projectname.h file and it even is not the one, which was put in the projectname_!Generated!.h file. It is a generated name starting with CSH_1 ...n in a consecutive way numbered.
    Example:
    <p class="FM_Heading1"><a name="XREF_72066_13_Glossar"></a>Gloss<a name="CSH_1"></a>ar</p>
    What goes wrong? Why does FM not take my assigned IDs? I need to use these IDs since our programmers are using those already - I had to re-create the whole online help but the programs stay untouched.
    Please help!
    Many thanks
    Mohi

    Hi Jeff,
    thanks for your note!
    The text in my marker is just a number like "2000" or "4200". As said, I created manually a my.h file and used this marker there. E.g.
    #define 2000 2000.
    Whereby the first 2000 (in my opinion) is the marker text and the second 2000 is the context ID which the programmers are using for the context sensitive call of the help. My definitions in the my.h file were translated to #define 2000 1 (in the my_!Generated!.h file). The source code "translates" the context ID into CSH_8.
    I am still confused :-/
    Thanks
    Mohi

  • Need help with Boot Camp and Win 7

    I have iMac 27" (iMac11,1) 2.8 GHz, quad core, 8MB of L3, 8GB of Memory, Boot ROM Version IM111.0034.B02 and SMC Version 1.54f36 and can't get this machine to run Windows 7 using Boot Camp.  I have successfully loaded Win 7 but when it claims to be starting I only get a black screen after initial start up.
    I have checked and rechecked my software updates and have read and reread the instructions, however, I can't update my Boot Camp to 3.1 (my machine says i'm running 3.0.4) and I need 3.1 but can't load 3.1 because it is an exe file that has to be loaded into Windows after I load Windows but can't open Windows because I can't load Boot Camp 3.1.  That's my excuse anyway, so I'm missing something I just can't figure out what it is....this is where you come in!
    Thanks.
    Mike

    Mike,
    I'm not going to be much help with Boot Camp however I can direct you to the Boot Camp forum where there are more people that know how to troubleshoot it and Windoze 7. You can find it at:
