Is the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music supposed to work properly on my comput

Hello,
first of all sorry for my bad english in some points because I'm german. ;-)
Now my question:
I'd like to buy the X-Fi Xtreme Music but I'm worried about whether the soundcard will work on my computer or not. I've heard that there exist several problems with nForce4-Chipsets and other ones.
Can you tell me if the card is going to work on my computer?
Here are the specifications:
CPU: Intel Pentium 4 ,8 Ghz
Motherboard: MSI MS-6399
Chipset: i845D (Intel)
Graphic: GeForce 3 Ti 200
BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00 (Phoenix)
52 MB SD-RAM
The computer is over 4 years old.
Id would be very kind of you if you answer my question.
Thanks a lot.

Hard to say honestly but think your safe. Personally it seems a large pecentage of ppl with the SCP issues posted here also have Pci-e systems and or Raid controllers. I have an "old" system with AGP and not had a prob with the issue myself. Best bet if possible is to buy it local, that way if doesnt work right you can take it back immediatly.

Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Xtreme Music prob

I have Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Xtreme Music and i'm wondering how can I adjust the settings so I stop hearing myself in the microphone.
Please answer me, thanks a lot!

It has when you are in "Audio Creation" mode and set speakers to 5.1 (or 7.1 if you use tripple plugs). You can route any input monitoring and stereo output to any output jacks, and even duplicate it to several jacks. Depending on your audio software you should also be able to route specific tracks to specific outputs (while in the creative console you define what plugs the output channels are send to).

And can you help me answer this question:
-I have this speaker,too.
-And when i use it with an Audigy soundcard and in 'quad mode' of speaker then the problem happen : there is no bass at all with two rear speakers.And sadly to say,This mode is very useful for gamer. This problem is shouted too by many users and there is a solution for this ,a 'bassfix' file from Dell.But it didn't work for me.
-Now,i want to buy a X-Fi extreme music,the same of you,but i can't not sure this problem finished or not.So can you check this for me?(Is Quad mode work OK with new sound card and the problem gone?)Please !!!!
Thanks a lot

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music & Creative Digital I/O Mod

I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music and I am told by the USA Creative website that I can attach a Creative Digital I/O Module (see link below). What I want to know is, will the optical output on the Creative Digital I/O Module produce a stereo, 5., 6. or 7. output? Or even all of these?

Hi Andy,
It depends on the source. On an optical output, you'll get multiple channels through if it's an AC3 source, such as the audio from a DVD. Other/normal audio will only come through as a stereo PCM signal though, so you'll only get 2 channels then. Check this sticky thread for some more detail:

HELP ASUS Vintage AH1 And Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Mu

I have a weird problem.
I have an ASUS vintage ah system with an AMD 2200+ 64bit processor
ATI PCIE Vidcard (X800 GTO Squared)
I added the soundcard today, replacing my audigy 4. Soundcard purchased : Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Music
When i booted the pc, it posts ok, then when windows xp and vista rc both get to the moving blue or green bar it just stops dead. Harddri've light is out, no disk activity, it stays this way indeffinately.
I've tried shutting off all bios options, i've flashed to latest BIOS and no joy.
I tried the card in my second pentium 4 machine and it boots fine.
What the hell is goin on?
Anyone else seen any weird incompatabilities or have this card running on a vintage ah?
Thanks

Hi,
That is probably a fault with the card. I'd contact your retailer or our customer service (contact us on the top menu)..
They'll be able to get the card replaced.

How do I get the "What u Hear" back in the PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Aud

When I right click on the recording the "what u hear" is no-where to be found, and is not present, is this fuction no-longer? available in the lastest PCI Express X-FI Xtreme Audio card in Vista? I can't seem to find it anywhere, it's not disabled or hidden it's just gone
any help would be nice?

I just found out that the "what u hear" function is not supported in the Creavti've Sound Blaster PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card
however, I, was able to get this to work (here's what I did) for a work-around
. I used a /8 stereo y-adapter and connected it to the speaker output, on the X-fi card,
2. then used the on-board REALTEK sound cards imput jack,
3. by doing this I now have the REALTEK Stereo Mix and the REALTEK line-in as the "what u hear" option, this will only work if you
have an on-board sound card
so now I can record everything I hear on my PC, streaming audio, ect. I hope this helps anyone who's bought this card and doesn't have the "what u hear" recording option as this function is NO LONGER supported by Creative...................here's what I got in my email form the Creative support team about this issue:

Maybe there are no driver updates available yet .
Also, is it goin' to be X-Fi drivers or some others ... since, by the picture behind below link, the DSP used in X-Fi Xtreme Audio is CA006 instead of the original X-Fi DSP, CA20K.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme audio lag prob

Hi,
System sepcs:
XP SP3
AMD 2.5GB Dual Core
2GB 800MHz RAM
500GB HDD 32MB cache SATAII
I have a sound blaster X-Fi Xtreme audio card and have the latest drivers. when i play any type of sound, music, movies etc the sound seems to 'lag' or play very slow and i tried re-formatting my computer but still no help.
Any help/ideas is greatly appreciated.

With your Evolution e49 keys (USB), did you install the drivers to add the USB Midi In via the Properties MIDI music Playback. Once you install the drivers for that USB device, you will have the option to select and change to the USB midi device in Properties MIDI music Playback. This can be easy to do in windows xp, not in vista. In vista you have to have some DAW software installed, such as "Cakewalk SONAR Home Studio 6" to change the midi devices around within the DAW software. In audio console, you have :?MIDI Device:
SB X-Fi Synth A [EC00]?This is normal and will not see a change or can not be changed within the audio console.
I have the E-MU Xmidi x (In/Out) USB midi cable. I had to install the USB midi drivers for this device, both in Windows XP and Vista. In Windows XP>Properties MIDI music Playback, I can change to the E-MU Xmidi x USB device and use.

PLEASE HELP!! ExpressCard Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card for NOTEBO

Hi. I'm new here and found this forum because I have problems with my?Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card for notebooks. The card itself works fine with my Dell XPS notebook but I also purchased the upgrade kit-speaker docking module that would allow me to play my 4/4. speakers. The problem lies withiin the speaker docking module (upgrade kit). I'm running Windows Vista, could this be the problem? I don't get sound from my speakers. When I run the diagnostic test I only hear sounds from my front left and right speakers and nothing from my sub and my back speakers. I hear NOTHING when I play music or anything off of my laptop. Please help with this issue. Thank you.

That's great, but ideally i would require to purchase from the UK.....

Issues related to Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express 1)

Hi, I've recently bought a SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express edition).
Before I address my issue, I'd like to point out that my rig is:
Maximus Extreme (mobo)?
Q6600 (cpu)
ATI4870 (vid card)
4Gigs of DDR3 (ram)
and my OS is Vista Home Edition (32 bit precision)?
And so after physically installing the hardware, I quickly installed everything there was on the CD- this included the drivers available on the CD. After this installation, I restarted then found most recent updates via online sources (creative.com). But even after all of this, I wasn't able to get my microphone to work. Now from my understanding, the jack is shared between Line-In and Microphone and I'm supposed to configure this setting. And so I tried to do that, but my only problem was that I was unable to use any of the available features. After researching for a few hours I found out that I, appearently have to uninstall everything that I had installed and then reinstall everything from online sources (from creative.com-- latest drivers for vista 32 bit). But even then, I still can't use my mic or configure the settings so that I could use microphone instead of Line-In.
Now going back to my actual question, how do I configure the settings so that I could use Microphone instead of Line-In?

ERe: Issues related to Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express )[ Bumping.
Almost the same problem here.
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio edition, Windows 7 64bit.
I downloaded the latest driver from the Creative site, installed it, update with the update manager and then i installed the console.
Issue number : I DONT have your same console. I dont have a "Mode" button, im stuck in Entertainment Mode. I cant control almost nothing and i dont have all the options u have.
Issue number 2: My mic isnt working good. It's VERY low on volume, i cant be heard without the +20db boost (the only boost option i have, i cant boost more) and even with that acti've that's not that loud.
It is still working good with my onboard realtek soundcard. I cant understand what's the problem and how to solve it.
Ah, my headset is a Creative Fatality.

I need help on the Sound Blaster Audig

I just got the sound Blaster Audigy 4 and installed it on a Dell computer. The receiver that comes with the card worked fine with the media center the first time it is installed but after that the red LED light comes on instead of blinking when the remote control is used. I tried to re-intalled the driver of the card which took a lot of time but did not fix the problem. Would somebody please tell me what the problem is with the receiver and what should I do the address the problem?

I would suggest uninstalling the SB drivers in Add/Remove program then run the SB installation again.

Will the Sound Blaster X-Fi Work with Sony Viao Laptop?

7Will the Sound Blaster X-Fi Work with Sony Viao Laptop?@ I have a Sony Vaio Laptop. When i purchased the laptop i did not know you could only play music through the mic on Sony Vaio. The mic and sound card are intergrated and there is no stereo mix on the Sony Vaio's.( You cannot en-able the stereo mix on Vaio's )I like to play music on a chat program called pal talk, they have music rooms. But my music sounds like crap because i have to play through the mic. I purchased this USB Sound Blaster to hopefully allow me to play through the sound blaster card. There is a lady on pal talk who plays music and talks on the mic using a Sony Vaio. She is the one that told me i needed to get a creavti've sound card to play music in the rooms. The problem is
I can't find her to ask which sound card she purchased. So i did some research and purchased the X-Fi usb card. Now the problems start. I purchased the X-Fi, turned on the?my laptop as stated?and inserted?the X-Fi?
Into the USB slot. The program asked for permission to run and i clicked yes. It download almost all the way and became stuck while installing the console, went from zero to 27% and stopped. I tryed it 8 times with the same thing happening. I went to the site and downloaded the software from there and the same thing happened. What am i doing wrong? Also when i inserted the unit in the USB slot and clicked on the speaker icon and pulled up the sound information, i see that the X-Fi mic is installed and working but i don't see the X-fi sound card? I checked every where! Also i tryed playing music in one of the music rooms and they said no sound, no sound! Is it just that this will not work with a Sony Vaio? Or am i doing something wrong? I am running vista 64 bit, 4 gig's of memory and daul core?processor and my Laptop is only months old. The laptop sound card is Reltek High Deff Audio. Any help would be great.

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio: Many issues I have been faci

Hello everyone. This is my first post at these forums, with the hopes of getting my issues resolved once and for all.
First and foremost, let me inform you that I have very high experience with computer hardware.
A couple weeks ago, I bought a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card from a local retailer. (Yes, I am aware that this is not an actual X-Fi card with the designated chip). I previously had an onboard sound solution on my motherboard, and uninstalled and removed all of the drivers COMPLETELY before I installed my new sound card. I then opened up my case, and continued with the installation of the card. After I had downloaded and installed all of the latest drivers, I immediately started to notice issues with the card. My MAIN problem is that if I have a specific application open, whatever it may be, one of my headphones, either left or right, will stop producing sound, and then is followed by the second one, which leaves me with no sound output at all. If I restart the application, the problem is temporarily fixed, but then comes back again within a few minutes.
This is VERY irritating to me, seeing as I originally thought the problem was not with the sound card. Believe it or not, I reinstalled my copy of windows over 5 times throughout the course of the last few weeks in hopes of finally fixing the issue. And here I am, on a brand new installation of windows, and the problem STILL persists.
I can assure you all of my hardware is functioning correctly as I have tried 2 other sound cards which have not had any issues like this whatsoever.
Yes, I have read the FAQ, but I couldn't seem to find the solution to my issue there, which is why I am posting it here. Sorry if I sound irritated, but this has bothered me very much and I have been starting to lose a lot of hope in Creative...
Thanks in advance.

Anybody?
