I/O Drive Upgrade Kit - only headphone/mic work!

?<img height="300" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5ODGMPRp7L._SL500_AA300_.jpg[/img] width="300">
My card is a? PCIX X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro Series.
The upgrade kit is a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatalty I/O Dri've Upgrade Kit
I have one of those and I cant get anything other than the headphone/mic jacks to work.
The volume control and the 3 buttons do not work (buttons do not light up).
I thought it might be the cables, so I paid $5 to get replacement cables sent to me from the RMA dept and they still do not work.
Apparently, this issue is pretty widespread, but nobody seems to have a solutions.
Here's a thread [url="http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/2524-28-dri've-sound-card-half-working-help" rel="nofollow">from tomshardware[/url] with the same issue, yet no solutions.
DOES ANYONE HAVE A FIX?

Solid State Drive Upgrade Kit v300a with Windows 8.1 on Envy laptop

I am trying to install the Solid State Drive Upgrade Kit V300a in my new HP Envy with Windows 8.1. This upgrade was listed as an option for this model and was bought with the machine.
The doc lists OS supported, but Windows 8 is not in the list. Is Windows 8 supported?
The included disk labled "Arconis" includes ATIHO user guide pdfs and an HP-Drive-Install-Guide-1.15.13-327pm pdf. The install guide mentions using Arconis. The Arconis user guide says to run "setup" to install Acronis but there is no setup file on the disk. I have chosen the setting to display hidden files and there is nothing on the disk but pdfs. The v300a box claims that it includes Acronis Cloning Software.
How do I install this HP upgrade on my new HP laptop?

X-Fi I/O Drive Upgrade Kit and the Headphone Out j

I would?need an extra analog audio out for my new HDTV since I don't have an HDMI-out on my PC and the audio out's on my soundcard are reserved for 7. speakers. I thought the X-Fi I/O Dri've Upgrade Kit might be my solutions since it has an extra headphone out. I have an X-Fi XtremeMusic card and my new telly has L/R-RCA audio ins.
My question is does connectin headphone jack to the X-Fi I/O Dri've mute all other sounds? I would like to be able to use both my S750 speakers connected to the PC and the HDTV speakers connected to the X-Fi I/O Dri've's Headphone?Out?at the same time.
And one extra?question:?Do the headphone out on the I/O dri've introduce dedicated left/rigt channels including all the sound information from the source file being played, or just the left/right channel information as in 7. mode when the soundspectrum is divided between all the eight speakers and when the front left/right channels do not contain all the information? It's a bit tricky to try put into words what I mean, but I hope you can understand.
Thanks for any and all replies!

You can enable/disable the muting on jack input detection.
As for the output, I think it outputs the front left and right, so you would need to switch to headphone mode in order for it to be stereo only. However, the dri've also has digital out and from what I understand, that only outputs in stereo unless it's using a surround sound source such as a DVD, but I could be wrong.

X-Fi I/O Drive upgrade kit software not install

Hello , I have installed my new X-Fi I/O Dri've upgrade kit hardware today , but I am having some trouble with the software installation.
This is the message I receive after the installation has initiated ->
"Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system.Please insure that your product is properly installed before running this setup program.Setup will now exit."
After that the software seems to install but I'm not sure it installs correctly. I can't see anything different in the usual X-fi software menu , and the supplied I/O dri've remote control does nothing.
My soundcard is an X-fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Pro Series.
Thanks.

XtremeGamer Pro + Drive Upgrade Kit = No sound after reboot (please he

First, lemmie say I saw the sticky at the top of this page for digital i/o. After reading the thread, the fix doesn't work for vista and I see that it says you just have to enable digial i/o from the control panel. Since, I have already tried this ... I am asking for help.
Bought an X-Fi XtremeGamer card about 6 months ago and everything has been working fine. However, I recently converted the PC it was in into an HTPC. Since I have a surround system, it seemed my only option to go with a dri've upgrade kit or have to rebuy a new sound card (wanted 7. surround via coaxial/optical).
Long story short, everything installed fine yet everytime I reboot the computer I lose sound. If I go into the diagnostic software included by Creative, all the test come back fine but at the last test where it actually test the speakers I get no sound. Selecting to restore defaults brings the sound back just fine. No other "restore default" command actually restores sound accept the one in diagnostics.
If I reboot immediately after running the diagnostics/getting my sound back, I still come back into Windows without sound. So, it isn't anything I am tweaking that is causing sound loss.
Currently my PC specs are as follows:
Windows Vista
XteremeGamer Pro
Dri've Upgrade Kit
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz (OC - 3.3GHz)
Crucial Ballistix 2GB Ram
GeForce 8800GTS 320MB
eVGA NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard
Audio system:
SLS Audio Q-Line Gold 5. Surround
Connecting using coaxial right now, have not tried optical to see if that solves the problem though. Going to do that when I get home tonight.
I completely uninstalled all the creative software and reinstalled using the CD that came with the dri've upgrade kit. I also ran the auto update and it installed the latest drivers.
Dunno if it matters but it sees my card, with the upgrade kit, as a Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion Series.
Any suggestions/help?
Thanks

Called Creative support and they were just as helpful as these boards. To all who read this, stay away from Creative till they get their act back together. Leading in computer audio my butt, more like leading in customer dissatisfaction and poor support.

I/O drive upgrade kit - X-fi xtreme gamer

Hello I bought a?set of headphones but I need to get something practical to make life easyer?to connect them when I want to use them. I thought of the I/O upgrade kit but as far as I can tell there isn't one compatible for my Soundcard. I have this one > http://www.soundblaster.com/products...8&product=5854?Thanks.

Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to use an X-Fi I/O dri've from another SKU X-Fi with a Fatalty Xtreme Gamer?
I've plugged it in and it's powered, output digital audio (the light is on, at least) and it detects the headphones being plugged in properly but no sound is coming out.
Am I doing something wrong?
Cheers,

SB X-Fi Titanium I/O Drive Upgrade Kit ?

Is there availability of the I/O dri've upgrade kit for the Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium in the United States? I don't see it in the online shop, is there any ETA for this product? What's the expected pricing? Thanks.

If Creative doesn't want to help you, take your money and spend it someplace else. If you have a Radio Shack store in your town, take the old cable(s) there, and ask them if they can repair them for you. Or, if you don't have the originals any more, take your hardware and/or instuctions into the store and ask them if they can make some custom cables with the info you've got on hand. My local Radio Shack has made custom cables for the CNC lathes where I work; They've made power cables for assorted electronics that I'd lost the power cables for; They've made replacement automoti've wire segments for some of my auto projects, using some really terrible drawings that I made.
Hope that hel

Help iPhone4 only headphone set working cannot use the phone

Help iPhone4 only headphone set is working I cannot use the phone in a normal way, voice control keep coming up

The update did not do anything.
AT&T cannot and will not do anything, they do not provide support for iPhones, Apple does.
The issue is not with the iPhone or iOS if you've reset network settings and tried forgetting the Wi-Fi Network, it is specific to the network.
Check the settings on the router, try disabling the security settings first... that will clarify the issue is not with the device but rather the Network.

X-fi I/O drive upgrade kit and X-fi elite

Will the dri've unit work with the X-fi Elite Pro? I see from the product descriptions it isn't supposed to work but since it uses the same connector I don't see any reason that it wouldn't work.
Why would I want to use the inferior dri've bay unit's? Because then I have a convenient place to put the external module. I do very much want a headphone and mic connector on the front of my computer and I also very much want the higher quality DACs of the X-fi pro.

Ben,
I realise you're frustrated and trying to get the product working, but replying in completely unrelated threads will not help. Please keep it in relevant threads only.

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi I/O Drive Upgrade Kit ( 30SB02510000

Why can't I buy one of these in the UK?http://us.creative.com/products/prod...6&product=4659?Thanks for any help. nick

When you see prices marked on items in the states then that is without any tax.Depending on where you are in the states the tax you pay can be different.State, county and whatever other tax is payable. Also you have NO way of getting a replacement if something goes wrong with it. Good that you buy/import/get shipped to the UK from the states cannot be replaced outside of the states.

Only Computer mic works!!!

How can i get Flash media encoder to see my USB
audio and not just my computer built in mic?

How are you attaching the microphone? If there is more than
one mic in the system you need to identify which microphone you
want to connect.

Anyone got a mic working? (cs46xx Hercules Digifire 7.1)

Morning all.
Everything's cool with Arch atm, but I can't get my mic to work.
I use a Hercules Digifire 7.1 sound card, which uses the cs46xx (crystal fusion is it?) module, and works fine. Since I've been playing ut2004 on here, I want to get my mic working, so I can use the VOIP in-game.
Unfortunately, even if I put all my volumes to maximum in alsamixer, the mic doesn't work. I mean, I can hear myself in the speakers when I talk into the mic, but there's no input received by recording programs, skype, etc etc.
I can't seem to change the volume for 'mic boost' in alsamixer, not sure if that's a related issue.
Any ideas anyone?

I use a Hercules Game Theater XP sound board, which AFAIK uses the same chipset; at any rate, the same driver.
To get the mic working, set the "Mic" channel to to "Capture" in the mixer app of your choice, and mute the channel (so no feedback). That should do the trick.
With some applications, it seems also necessary to set ADC to Capture. Funny enough, only the mic input will be captured, not the full sound as would be expected ...
Hope this helps,
