I give up with the Creative X-Fi Extreme Mu

I've exhausted all possibilities in trying to solve this infuriating snap/crackle/hiss problem. I'm using an NForce 4-based board with an Adaptec RAID controller in one PCI slot and the sound card in the other. I'm using 2 NVidia 7600 GT's in an SLi configuration. The processor is an AMD 64 dual core. I've uninstalled, re-installed, used the driver from the cd, used the new driver, nothing works. Took the X-Fi card out, put in my old Audigy 2 ZS. No snap/crackle/pop with the Audigy. It's working perfectly just like it always did. It's a shame, because when the X-Fi card actually does work, it's great. I just simply can't take the stress and annoyance of using it any more knowing that at any moment the problems will start again.

It doesn't sound like you've tried anything I'd suggest:

    Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

  • What exactly is going on with the creative products, it is like an epidemic Admins come and l

    Ok, I got a vision m for christmas and everything worked fine. I stopped using it for?a couple of months and then my mom got a v plus. I wasn't getting the connection error with the MTP device stuff. Now I plug in my vision m and I am getting the same problem. This is starting to piss me off. I got my mom's to work on my old comp upstairs. But I will not allow mine to be linked to that computer. All my music is on this computer. I don't know what is going with the creative products, but creative you really need to figure it out.

    I agree. I've had problems with my old player (Zen Micro) and my new one (Zen Vision: M) which are connection issues. Sometimes they connect, and others they don't.

    Hello,
    I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC (together with the Apps) doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
    I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html  and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

    I bought an iPhone 5 around fifteen days back and it has already started to give problem with the on/off button. I have to press it five six times to switch it on or off. I am so frustrated by the fact that if I bring it to the service centre, I am going to get a refurbished phone in place of my brand new phone which I just bought. The idea of a used phone repulses me. Any solutions ?

    Why?  Your current phone is used... it has been since the instant it was removed from the shrink wrap and turned on.

    Live with the phone as is.
    Take the device to Apple for evaluation... it may not need replacement.
    Even if it does, neither you or the Apple tech should be able to tell if the replacement is new or refurbished.

  • Is the Time Capsule wi-fi router compatible with the Nest thermostat? I've read where there are issues with the Nest and Airport Extreme (AE)? Is AE used in the Time Capsule?

    I've read where there are issues with the Nest and Airport Extreme (AE)? Is AE used in the Time Capsule?
    If so, i already have a wi-fi router, so can the Time Capsule simply be used for wireless backup instead of as a router if there is conflict?

    A TC is fundamentally a AE with a sata chip included to drive the hard disk. Some slightly different bios to include disk functions, although most of those are also on the AE. So as a router it is 99.999% identical.
    And yes, if you have another router you can easily bridge the TC and use wireless for backups and internet connection. Once you no longer route through the TC the issues with most NAT problems including port forwarding should disappear.. mostly this is due to all apple routers using NAT-PMP instead of upnp which is the near universal standard for opening ports.. without upnp apple keep their routers more exclusive.

  • Install an app on multiple computers with the Creative Cloud membership?

    I have the Creative Cloud membership. Can I install an app on multiple computers? I wouldn't use the app on different computers at the same time.

    You can install on as many machines as you like, but the account can only ever be active on 2 machines at any given time. If you need to move to anotehr machine, you need to sign out with a full deactivation on one of the two machines in use.

  • Trouble with the creative cloud desktop sync software

    I've been using the creative cloud for about 6 months now and haven't had a single problem, though after this morning when I returned home from school my software is no longer able to connect to my cloud to sync files to and from the cloud. Is there an outage or a known issue with the software? I repeatedly get "cannot connect to the cloud" when I disable and re-enable syncing.
    Message was edited by: Ghostsan

    Please restart your computer and then try to work with Creative Cloud Connection to sync the data.
    If you are still not able to use it download the update version AAM from below given path then try.

  • What speakers work with the Creative Labs DDTS-100 Digital Decoder-Upto 7.1

    what speakers do the Creative Labs DDTS-100 Digital Decoder-Upto 7.1 work with thanks

    Unless the Digital 5500 speaker set has analog inputs it can't be used with the DDTS-100. You must connect the DDTS-100 to a speaker system through the analog outputs either from the main unit or the switchbox. I have not heard of any cables to convert analog audio into digital form so digital speakers can understand and play it.
    The best speaker system? I have absolutely no idea dude. You must be the judge of that, if it is you who are going to listen to it. I like my S750 system but that is me. You have to read loads of info and reviews and preferably listen to them in a store if you can.

  • Do I have to pay for Photoshop Touch with the Creative Cloud?

    I have subscribed to the Creative Cloud services and now I would like to download the available Touch apps, including Photoshop touch.  Since I already pay for a subscription, do I also have to pay for the apps in the app store or is there a way around that by entering my Adobe ID or info?

    thanks for the feedback, where you using phone support?
    The link concerning the cloud can be found here:

    Creative Cloud also integrates with these touch apps, which are available for purchase separately.

  • Can I install Cloud software on a Samsung Chromebook? [was: Trouble with the Creative Cloud]

    I have a Samsung Chromebook, I've subscribed to the Creative Cloud for my coursework. Is there anyway I can download the Apps with this type of laptop?

    No.
    Adobe software only works on Windows, Mac OS X and mobile apps work on iOS and some Android.
    Chromebooks run the Chrome Operating System. Software must be specially written for it. Few if any of the major apps e.g. Adobe software are available for Chrome OS.
    Chromebook software must be downloaded from the Google Chrome Web Store. That's part of what makes Chromebooks so cheap - limited apps.
