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,

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • PROBLEMS Foxconn G965 chipset WITH Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal

    Hello every body.
    I have found a driver problem of X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatalty Professional Series and the motherboard Foxconn G9657MA-8KS2H.
    With the install process you dont have problem, and with music... but when you go to play the EAX effects doesnt work properly (metalic noise), at least it fault down.
    With other motherboards there is no problem. Of course I have tried everything, (drivers, thanche the pci slot, another games... GRAW, Battlefield 242, Call of duty etc... It doesnt work.
    Then I tried with my old Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro, and the same problem with old drivers. I download this november drivers and then it works fine.
    The sound is similer (less voices but similar, good sound), but I havent got the night mode sound level that let me play during the night without making noise (gun, explosions etc sound very loud).
    Some one knows where can I get a modified driver that runs with chipset G965?

    I had to switch from game mode to entertainment mode using the Creative Console Launder software applet. Once I made the change all fi've speakers are working, I would prefer that they all work in game mode but for now until I can find a better solution this will have too work for now. I hope this helps for you.

  • X-FI Xtreme Music with I/O Drive Upgrade Driv

    Hello,
    I just installed the I/O Dri've Upgrade and so far everything works after I installed the cd that came with the kit.
    When I went to Creative Labs webpage and did an autoupdate to check the drivers, it told me that I have a X-FI Platinum instead of a X-FI Xtreme Music.
    I just wanted to check with you as I know the X-FI Xtreme Music with the upgrade kit is basically a X-FI Platinum, however should I install drivers for the X-FI Platinum in the future?

    Yeah that's what I did - they're basically exactly the same card, but one comes with the I/O dri've and the other doesn't.

  • HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit and MacBook

    Hi,
    I've bought the HP Wireless Printing Upgrade Kit to connect my printer at the wireless network. That printer is HP Color Laserjet CM1312 MFP. I've set the a static IP on the router settings and for the Windows PC, that are in my wireless network at my home, everything works well.
    The problem is about the connection with the MacBook (10.6.8) because there aren't some driver or solution to obtain the access to that printer from a user that isn't on a windows.
    Do you have some ideas to help me?

  • Fusion drive upgrade question (7200rpm?+SSD swap)

    If I choose the fusion drive upgrade while purchasing a mac mini, will the non SSD drive be upgraded to a 7200rpm drive as well?
    Also, I would love to replace the SSD of the fusion drive with a 3rd party 256 SSD that I already own, if that's even possible.
    Or should I just stick w/the stock TB drive and install my 256SSD with a data doubler kit from OWC or something like that to save me some $$$?

    "If I choose the fusion drive upgrade while purchasing a mac mini, will the non SSD drive be upgraded to a 7200rpm drive as well?"
    No. The hard drive component of the Fusion Drive spins at 5400rpm.
    "Also, I would love to replace the SSD of the fusion drive with a 3rd party 256 SSD that I already own, if that's even possible."
    It's possible. No point in upgrading to the Fusion Drive if you're going to do that, though. Read here:

  • Hard Drive upgrade on a DV6324us?

    I have a DV6324us laptop that I bought 3 years ago and am needing some additional memory on my hard drive.  Currently I have 2GB of RAM, AMD Turion 64x2 TL-50 processor, and 100GB hard drive.  I have been researching upgrading the hard drive, but I'm not sure what the largest that I can install in it based on my system specs.  Any suggestions?  

    That series has presented occasional problems with 7200 rpm drives and 500 gig or bigger drives. You will have no problem with a 320 gig 5400 rpm drive. You very likely would not have a problem even with a 500 gig + 7200 rpm drive but I can't give you 100% assurance. 
    Laptop hard drives are sold at Best Buy and Frys or you can order from newegg.com or Tiger Direct. A 320 gig 5400 rpm drive can be purchased for as little as $55:

  • X-Fi Titanium PCI EXPRESS and I/O Drive Upgrade

    Hi!
    Are those two products:
    X-Fi Titanium PCI-E (Non Fatalty)
    http://pl.europe.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=&subcategory=208&product=7927
    and
    X-Fi I/O Dri've Upgrade Kit
    http://pl.europe.creative.com/shop/product_bundles.asp?category=4&subcategory=0&produ ct=2&page=
    compatible with each other?
    If not which other X-Fi Titanium PCI-E Cards are compatible with this I/O Dri've?
    Maybe X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro Seriies or X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E?
    Please help me, and thank you?

    That I/O Dri've upgrade kit is not compatabile with any Titanium series card.
    The Titanium Championship series has its own front bay, but it has slightly different functionality.
    The Xtreme Audio PCI-E isn't a Titanium and I would recommend staying away from it in general; it doesn't have the hardware audio processing of the other 'real' X-Fi cards.
