Horrible X-Fi audio console softw

Will there ever be an alternati've to the absolutely horrible method of changing modes and switching options in the console. Why the heck do I need all these graphics just to change modes? Why do there have to be all sorts of flashy effects when I switch modes it is completely unnecessary. I typically dont mind these things when they don't run slowly but I am running a dual core opteron 65 system with 2 gigs of ram and a WD raptor dri've (which is more than enough for any application) and the only application that runs poorly is creatives audio console and its becoming extremely annoying since I switch modes frequently.
Is there not a simpler way to switch modes? Can creative please release a stripped down version of the audio console? If not is it possible to get ahold of an SDK? I would take time out of my schedual to write one myself if I got an SDK that would allow me to. It's really that annoying and I'm sure I'm not the only one who would benefit from such a project. At the very least could creative devs just give an option to turn off all of the flashy effects?

Several of us have suggested something like that but no word from CL. If nothing else maybe add it to the r-click options of the tray icon. Even nicer is if they would come up with a profiles type system where you could associate exe's to modes for autoswitching. Im just thankful the software works better than my A2 software did, hehe

X-Fi Audio Console won't save chan

shame on me for buying an immature Creative product, but i got the XtremeMusic edition of this card. While it sounds amaizing the software continues Creative Lab's outstanding tradition of being buggy and horrible. I could probably get by without returning this product but....
the audio console does not retain my settings when i reboot.
am i the only one suffering this problem? as every time the PC restarts it defaults all the audio console settings.
I did download and install the SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_07_0004.exe update from the support page.
thx in advance
*ps, the bold is not intended to be shouting, but to assist all those speed readers out there

Mine hasn't been resetting....so far. I know mines a Fatalty but sw wise it should be same for all the cards. The only thing I can think of is that it has something to do with option for syncing with control panel. I have that option unchecked in the creative mixer speakers tab. Maybe try disabling it if its currently enabled and see if that stops the resetting. No idea if it will help but thats the only thing I can think of, can't hurt to at least give it a shot.
Hope it helps

How to connect a APExpress to a digital audio console

I have a Yamaha M7CL digital audio console that has an Ethernet connection. I want to control the desk wirelessly using the APExpress. I know how to do it with a Linksys or Netgear router. With those I need to plucg into one of the 4 LAN ports. Not the WAN. And it works great. Since the APEx has only one port (LAN or WAN?) How can I make it work. The console has Network settings that can be changed but I think my issue is that the port on the APE is looking for internet. I'm not interested in using this set up to surf the web I only trying to connect the 2 and wirelessly connect with my laptop. With all the different settings I have no idea where to begin. Can anyone give me a clue. Thanks.

Hello steviee7. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
In order for the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) Ethernet port to perform as a "LAN" port so that the Yamaha can access the network/Internet, it would need to be reconfigured as one of the following:
For both the 802.11b/g and 802.11n versions of the AX:
o As as relay or remote base station in a Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
For the 802.11n version only:
o As an extender of a wireless network created by another 802.11n AirPort or Time Capsule.
o As a wireless Ethernet bridge (ProxySTA).

X-fi Xtrememusic doesn't have the bottoms of DD and DTS in the audio console

Hellow every body!....
I have a little problem with the Creative X-fi Xtrememusic OEM that I bought...:
) The issue is that when the card is instaled withthe drivers, I notice that the windows detect the sound card as a X-fi audio, and not with the name of x-fi xtreme music.... this is normal? all the x-fi are detected as a x-fi audio?... Because this card that I have, is the xtrememusic sure.... because the audio is blue and its diferent like the sound card that I have...
2) Thats is the light problem.... Now the heavy xD: After installed the sound card I notice that in the audio console there is NO bottoms of the options "DD and DTS"... this sections are missing...
I try to uninstall the cd drivers... download the last drivers of this page... and when the last drivers are installed... there is no audio console and nothing.... only the driver and a old audio console... (not the with moder audio console that shows up in the current x-fi)
- Know I format my PC and I installed all again.... and the same problems shows up...
I have the windows xp ue v7....
Any how can help me? I don't know what to do... I try anything and nothing works...

when did you purchase this xtrememusic? if I don't remember wrongly.... the newer refresh doesn't have dd and dts decoding anymore and have to use the included powerdvd to do it. only the older refresh of xtrememusic include dd/dts decoding via creative driver. furthermore yours is an oem version....it may also have different function/feature. you can try searching the CD and see if there is any folder by the name of "PDVD" or something?with?"dvd",?can't?really?remember?the?ex act?name... if?the?CD?you?have?have?this?folder,?then?you?won' t?have?the?ddd/dts?function?in?the?audio?console.

X-Fi XtremeMusic installation, Audio Console probl

Shortly after learning I'd been fooled into buying a rebranded Audigy card instead of a real X-Fi, I picked up an X-Fi XtremeMusic online. Immediately after installing it the problems hit me from every direction. The PCI slot I had installed it in absolutely refused to recognize it - and this was the exact same slot my previous "Xtreme Audio" had occupied! Regardless, I switched up the PCI slot after reading dozens of forum posts both here and elsewhere and found that my card was immediately seen by the system... or so I thought. When I tried again to install the software, I was hit with the exact same error message as before "Setup is unable to detect a supported device on your system." Back again to the forums. After learning more, I wondered if it would be a driver issue, and found the Web Update 4. I installed this, and lo and behold I got sound and an incredibly basic version of the Audio Console. No nice graphics (think Win98 style), no graphic equalizer, just a series of mundane, and to be honest, quite useless tabs like something straight out of the system device manager. I thought I might be able to get back the Audio Console like I had with the NotX-Fi I was running before by attempting to use the installation disc again, and I was hit with the Exact. Same. Error.
How is it possible for me to have the surround sound and other features from my card without being able to complete an installation from the disc? How is my system not aware of the X-Fi when I'm clearly getting good sound out of it's Lastly, does anyone know if I can get the -real- version of the X-Fi XtremeMusic Audio Console instead of the pitiful tab based garbage I'm stuck with at the moment? Thanks in advance.

X-Fi 2.11: Audio Console still doesn't wo

The audio console still doesn't work for me in the new version of the drivers. I get sound no problem, but when I try to open the Creative Audio Console I get the following error:
"The audio device supported by this application is not detected. The application will now exit."
I have a X-Fi FPS...does the Audio Console not support this line of X-Fi's? I noticed on the driver download page that the FPS was curiously missing from the list of X-Fi cards that you could choose from. Is Creative dropping support for the X-Fi FPS?

Ok...nevermind...after a driver roll-back and a few Blue Screens of Death later, I finally got the console to work...this is the first time I have got it to work ever with any of the drivers.

No Dolby/DTS decoder tab in audio console after installing new driv

Using X-Fi Elite Pro and Vista 64-bit /w new 2.8.0004 drivers. Notes in the lastest driver says that Dolby/DTS encoding is enabled for Vista, but I'm not seeing the decoder tab like other people have. Can I still decode with my soundcard using method 2 in this thread

I don't have decoder tab with X-Fi XtremeMusic either in Vista x64.

I have the X-Fi XtremeMusic soundcard and Vista Ultimate x64 SP, I get the decoder tab in both creative audio console and Creative Console Launcher (All modes). In order to get the Dolby Digital and DTS decoder tab in both creative audio console and Creative Console Launcher (Entertainment mode, game mode, ect) you have to install the following. Later, you can buy the Dolby Digital Li've as a add on.

There is no mode switcher on my Audio Console launcher.

I have the Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme card and downloaded some time ago the console launcher. The application on the site says the version currently available dates from 2007. I open up the launcher but do not have the modes tab at all. Why is that? How can I get a version that has it? I want to use the audio creation console.
Any assistance would be appreciated. Creative Audio Console Launcher panel .jpg

Thank you for your prompt response. This is my first time on this forum and hope that I can get some help with this issue. I'm very glad this forum uses this format you've recently adopted. I believe it's the same as the one on my Ubuntu Forum. It's a sad thing that this kind of rubbish shows up everywhere nowadays.

Where can I download the FULL driver for my XtremeMusic? (eg. more than just the audio consol

I just bought an OEM XtremeMusic and I downloaded the latest (from 2006) driver from the Creative Lab's website but all it installed was an audio console and the driver itself. I can change most of the settings I need inside the audio console, but isn't there an equalizer I can adjust and more settings? The screenshots of the XtremeMusic software from the website is definitely not the same as the audio console I have. Also, isn't there a CMSS-3D test somewhere? I can't find any of this. Did I miss something on the website that I could download?

Windows 7 64-bit X-Fi PCI-Express Audio console

Hello,
I have a SB PCI-Express Extreme audiocard, and I recently installed Windows 7. I have the basic driver and I do have sound, but the full control suite of software, that included the audio-console and startup-console I had in XP that allowed me full control of my card I do not. Which is rather annoying, because there's much more functionality there.
I tried installing the XP version of the control software, but it started with saying I have newer drivers installed, which made me cancel it as I figured it would be bad to install XP 32-bit drivers on W7 64-bit system.
So, I wanted to know if Creative is working on make W7 64-bit version of the control suite, and if so, whether there is an estimate on when it'll be completed/released? And if not, if someone knows a workaround to get the control suite of XP installed anyway without overwriting the drivers.

Re: Windows 7 64-bit X-Fi PCI-Express Audio console" http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/SB-P7X-Series-Support-Pack-2-0-07-3-2009-AudigySE-Value-LS/td-p/53329
That is for your card, sorry about that. Then you can download and install the newest Creative driver on top of this package. You will first unpack Dan K.'s support pack, install it, reboot. Make sure your sound is functioning and that in Device Manager you have Creative X-FI, not high definition multimedia device. Then reboot again, and install the newest Creative Labs driver. Now you can configure your system for number of speakers, tone, bass, EQ, Crystalizer, etc.

When Audio Console launched, Unable to find audio device error message comes

When I launch audio console, I get an error message saying:
"Unable to find audio device. Please make sure that your audio device is enabled and installed with its driver. This application will be closed."
This can't be right because my soundblaster audigy 2 ZS platinum card is installed, its working, I can hear things etc.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the audio console software package from creative and that fixed the problem for a very short while and it is now reoccurring.
I've had this same setup for several years with no issues, now all of a sudden, this is happening.
Anyone out there had similar challenges?
Thanks for looking!Message Edited by dgmtoronto on 07-22-200703:33 PM

Most probably you don't have passed the correct root= option to the kernel so that the kernel cannot, as it says, find its root device. Read the wiki page about refind in order to know how to configure it (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/REFInd). Refind as no fully automatic configuration like grub.

Sb x-fi xtreme audio console launcher problems on windows 7 32bit

Asb x-fi xtreme audio console launcher problems on windows 7 32bit'sI recently installed windows 7, because I was tired from Windows XP, but unfortunately after installing all the drivers for my hardware I realized my 5. isn't working quite as expected.
My first problem was, that the Crystalizer didn't work, after installing tons of different software, found on creative labs forums the crystalizer started working.
Then I realized that the CMSS-3D wasn't (and still isn't working). How do I fix that ? I've tried numerous ways but nothing happens, while in windows XP everything worked fine after installing the drivers.
I also miss some configuration options in the Creative Console Launcher, namely the check boxes:
?"Automatically enable headphone settings" and "Automatically mute speakers".
Where the hell did they go?! I use them, I need them. How do I get them back? Is XP somehow privileged than 7? Isn't it supposed to be the opposite?
I also can't change the speaker configuration - it's stays 5. whatever I do, and the drop-down menu with the choices is missing?! Auto-detect option doesn't work, and if it did worked - I don't need it.

To : woj2322, You may need to download and install the Dell Notebook System Software version 5.0.5. This installs patch fixes to solve the PCI ExpressCard device not work correctly. This is only for the DELL Inspiron 520 Notebook (See Below). Microsoft patch fix info below also. Also, I see there's other people that are having the same issue, maybe you to need to download and install the patch fix for your notebook's on dell's website. It's called "Dell Notebook System Software" under "System Utilities"
