Mic issue: SB X-FI Extreme 7.1 PCI-express card. New driver/software to blame?

NMic issue: SB X-FI Extreme 7. PCI-express card. New driver/software to blame? My mic has worked perfectly up untill the new driver update. It is now version .04.000 released 30 June 09'. That was yesterday as of this post. It was a complete reinstall of the driver and software and a new updater. When I finished all of the updates my mic no longer worked. Keep in mind that I have 2 mics and neither of them work. With the old driver and software I was able to access the Creative Audio Control Panel and I would find a tab called "Jacks". In that tab I could select "line in" or "microphone". I would select microphone and all would work well. Now I have a completely dumbed down Creative Audio Control Panel interface with no option that is similar. I have clean wiped and reinstalled the driver and sofware updates 3 times now with the same effect.Can anyone help please? I really don't want to wait -3 weeks for Creative support to get back to me. The only thing worse than Creative support is UBISoft support!
Thanks in advance.

  • FIX FOR MIC ISSUE ON X-FI SOUND CA

    Ok, the title is a tad misleading, I'm not sure if this works everywhere, or on all sound cards. I just know after about a week of frustration with my brand new $2200 PC, (equipped with a X-Fi Xtreme Audio, big disappointment wishing I went with a Gamer Xtreme now...) I plugged in my lovely headset and mic for gaming, and much to MORE frustration, no mic support on my "non" supporti've "non flexijack" ports on the front of my case, so I moved to the back and still no dice.
    So far this card has been a compatibility headache, everywhere from having to unplug the forward sound ports, to spending hours in the middle of the night (bad habits with not being able to enjoy tasks unless finished with my PC issues D=) just driving to find the full drivers for the card!
    And still, much like all of you no working mic, ok so now you're shouting for me to get to the point, in my frustration I decided I'd try all the ports on the card to see if that would fix it, and in my fury and climbed behind the PC, headset on volume turned up and mic ready to go (unmuted), tested the pink (PROPER!!!!! Creative -.-) port, to no dice. Moved one jack over, no dice and finally tried the blue sound port on the farthest end of the sound card...
    SUCCESS. I heard myself, my heart literally fell into my loins.
    Who the heck messed that up? But hey, I don't care. A working mic on my Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio.
    So HOPEFULLY there's the fix for it. Move your mic to the blue jack on the back of the card and give it a go. Realistically, what do you have to lose?
    Hope I helped!

    OK, let's think for a minute that I have a 5. speaker system installed and the microphone connected to the FlexiJack in the X-Fi Xtreme Gamer.
    Let's try now to change the FlexiJack configuration so it accepts the microphone as the input source for recording. Oooops, all options for FlexiJack are greyed out.
    I've tried every single posibility for recording on the sound (recording) control panel and none of them seems to work (I would change then one by one and the try the windows sound recorder to test if it would work). Although when I tried the microphone works perfect on another computer with a 5. Li've Sound Blaster card.
    So, is this an issue with FlexiJack and Xtreme Gamer cards?
    I'm a missing some steps?
    Kind regards.

  • Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5?

    Is anyone having Mic issues with iPhone 5? Speakerphone works but not the mic, on phone calls and memos.
    Took it to local Genius campus and after taking off the back screen and case, they blew air into the mica and it worked for about 20 mins.
    I can't have a ready can of air around every time the mic goes out.
    Anyone else had similar issues?

    I am having a similar problem. I had the iPhone 5 delivered yesterday. On most of the calls I tried, the person on the other end could hear me just fine on speakerphone, but not on the regular mic. It was garbled, or I would cut in and out. I could always hear the other person clearly.
    I just got back from a Genius Bar appointment where they gave me an entirely new phone. The issue exists on this one also, though now it seems like the audio is more muffled than garbled or spotty. Again, speakerphone works, and I can hear the other person clearly.
    I had originally restored backup from my 3GS, but before I went to the Genius Bar I restored to factory settings just to be sure it wasn't a software issue (it wasn't, apparently). I did not restore from the old phone for this new handset either.
    Thanks for any suggestions...frustrating, for sure!

  • Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic Issues

    "Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic IssuesG Ok, i've seen so many posts on this issue but am now suffering from a headache after spending 3 hours trying everything I could find in google to fix this.
    The mic works when it wants. When it does work (rarely), its garbled or lagging like crazy.
    I have read, and searched this forums, but besides seeing "Doesn't work" or "Use daniel_k's drivers" i cant find any definate fix (or even links to something new that I haven't already tried).
    I tried daniel ks drivers and they seems to be pretty darn good, however it still did not correct my issue.
    I record music, and I play games. . . and absolutely love win7. . . but am forced to use XP (limiting my amount of memory used) when I want to do any of the above.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    &Re: Windows 7 - Audigy 2 ZS Mic Issues? The support pack does absolutely nothing to fix the mic issues.
    Does this driver improve sound quality or performance? Are there any tweaks?
    No, this driver does not improve sound quality nor increase performance.
    No, there are no tweaks.
    If someone states that its driver improves sound quality and performance, you are being fooled, cheated.
    It is even worse that the so called tweaks come from a person who is not EVEN technically acknowledged, does NOT know anything about Windows internals, software engineering and?sound?fidelity that all audiophiles always look for.
    If you "feel" the sound better, that is the infamous placebo effect and there is no real proof that any tweaks work.
    In fact, I have yet to see a driver that states in its release notes that it improves sound quality.
    I've disassembled about every single .SYS driver, .DLL libraries and .EXE executables and found nothing.
    There are some undocumented registry values, but nothing related to sound quality or performance.
    Would the so called tweaks even exist, they would be in my Support Packs, you can bet that.
    and
    Microphone issues on Windows 7/Vista 64-bit (x64) with 4GB?of RAM or more
    Audigy driver does not support 64-bit addressing, resulting in random issues with the Microphone (static, robotic or distorted voice, white noise).
    Workarounds:
    - install the 32-bit (x86) version of Windows
    - limit the RAM available to Windows to less than 4GB
    - enable Memore Hole in BIOS Setup, if?your motherboard supports the setting

  • 4s microphone has always malfunctioned (people can't hear me) for first 10 seconds of outgoing phone calls. I've synched w healthy Macbook Pro, replaced SIM cards, replaced iPhone 4s, called Applecare (no mic issue admitted). OS problem?

    4s microphone has malfunctioned on most outgoing calls for many months. People can't hear me for first 10 seconds of outgoing phone calls. I've synched w healthy Macbook Pro, replaced SIM cards, replaced iPhone 4s when Apple Store thought it was probably a hardware problem, called Applecare (no mic issue admitted). OS problem??? I think so! [Possible] good news: for the past 2 days, since updating to 5.1.1, no one has reported problems hearing me!
    I'm concerned Applecare folks did not admit to me that so many other 4s users also has malfunctioning mics.

    The device obviously has a hardware issue and is under warranty, take it to Apple for replacement and move on with life.  No reason to make things difficult.

  • WoW Gaming headset mic issue!!

    Hello!
    I keep hoping to see an updated driver or "fix" for the mic issue. My headset is the wired version and I'm told by my fellow Ventrilo users that they hear an odd "electronic" noise when I talk. Intermittant and unpredictable ... and very annoying. I'm still holding out hope for a fix for this issue but cannot wait too much longer before returning my headset and buying Sony .....
    The sound through the earphones is wonderful and what I expected from Creative. The mic issue, however, leaves me very disappointed. One hundred and twenty bucks is a lot of money to spend for a headset only to have a poor quality microphone.
    Is the mic on this headset borked? Or can we expect a fix from Creative?

    having a mic issue aswell, sometimes if i'm watching a youtube video, the people on skype can hear the video through my mic, yes the headset is on my head when they can hear it.
    I've tried the 8% trick but when I do that, they can hardly understand me on skype, come on creative, why don't you just make your products like you should. Constantly had issues with my Fatalty headset aswell and now it's the same, but with a headset that costs 00 euros more, so creative, more support would be great...

  • Mic issue with Lenovo G710 laptop

    I have a laptop Lenovo G710 which i have upgraded to Windows 10. The laptop has an inbuilt microphone.I'm going through the setup process with Cortana but my voice isn't being detected when getting Cortana to learn my voice.I have done following to try and fix it but it hasn't yet worked:
    I checked in Device Manager and looked for Microphone(IDT High Definition Audio Codec) and it says Device is working properly when i go to the properties of it.The latest driver was installed 09/07/2015.
    Secondly, I have tested the inbuilt microphone out by going into Control Panel, then going to Speech Recognition then click on Audio Devices and making sure that the microphone is enabled.
    I then right clicked on it  Properties went to the Levels tab and increased the  Microphone level to 100. Microphone boost is set to the max level. If anyone can help me to fix this issue, it would be much appreciated.Kind Regards,

    Hey there,
    I've been having the same problem for a long time now, seems like the IDT drivers for this model are fu**ed up somehow. No one ever responded to my problems. Don't expect anyone having a magical solution to this, unless someone from the Lenovo support really decides to dig deep. The newest driver is absolutely incompatible with Windows 10, even though it says it is. The mic works "fine" when listening to it through the recording devices properties, but never have I been able to make it work with Cortana, neither Skype! To temporarily solve this problem, until MAYBE a solution will come, I advise you to open Device Manager, and under Sound, video and game controllers, click right on the IDT High Definition Audio Codec, Properties, Driver, Update Driver, Browse my computer for driver software, Let me pick from a list, and select High Definition Audio Device. Your sound will sound worse, after some restarts it will maybe even go almost mute (at 100% volume set EVERYWHERE application-wise, windows-wise it will sound like 30%, 40% before), but at least the microphone will work service-ably with Cortana or Skype.
    Guys could any of the official support REALLY take a look at this problem? Seems that not just me has it. This is a serious issue to solve. Thanks! (whistles in the wind, becomes forgotten in a few days)

  • HS-1000 Fatalty USB Gaming headset Mic Issues

    so i bought this thing from newegg and had it for almost a week now... still having problems with the mic. basically it's not working.
    for one thing when i bought it i was asuming that the creative consol would read it as the head phones where plugged in and act accordinly but it doesnt. for another thing i enabled the mic and turned everything on through the creative consol, still doesnt work. initially the mic would have a big red X over it for some reason and i'd always have to turn it on just too use it. but it still doesnt work at all. i dont know if this is a sound card problem or a probelm with the headset. so either way im at a loss.
    ii tried it with a standard mic and plugged it into the back, it seems too work from their and i can get it too come up on the sound recorder, but with this USB thing it's not...
    anyone that had similar problems with this thing know what's going on? Im using the Sound Blaster X-fi Platinum Sound card with driver version 2.18.0004. i have heard reports from people who bought the same sound card that the mic evenutually dies on the system. im wondering if mine finally just went out or something. either that or its a vista-32 bit thing.
    i dunno,
    any help would be appreciated.

  • 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.

  • Network is created with extreme, devices dont see expresses

    Hello everyone, i will try to explain my dilemma as clearly as possible.
    Recently we recived the 2WIRE u-verse ATT router, which is terrible on giving a wireless signal.
    So i decided to buy an airport extreme, and 2 expresses.
    I disabled the wireless of the 2Wire router,
    Then set up the network with the Extreme,
    and placed the expresses in the room that has terrible signal.
    (other rooms do not have any ethernet ports, but do have the phone line things on the walls)
    The issue that i am having is those two other rooms.
    The room with the Aiport Extreme is fantastic, and runs smoothly.
    And yet my iPhone and iPads, cant receive a signal, the computer can but its so slow. And yet the Expresses are in those rooms.
    The Expresses are set to extend the range, and the signal to the extreme is "excellent"
    The ony information i could find to resolve this is to buy a powerline adapter, is that the only way?
    If so/If not, how do they work?
    I did every confiquration possible, very rarely the connection would be great, but dead again the next day.

    Without knowing the exact layout of your home, it may be possible that both of the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Stations (AXn) may be just outside of the useful signal range coming from the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) to successfully extend it.
    One way to find out, is to make Signal-to-Noise (SNR) measurements at the locations where the AXns are placed to see if the signal quality is sufficient enough.
    SNR (in dB) = Signal (in dBm) - Noise (in dBm)
    For example, a signal level of -53dBm measured near an access point and typical noise level of -90dBm yields a SNR of 37dB, a healthy value for wireless LANs.
    SNR Guideline
    40dB+ SNR = Excellent signal
    25dB to 40dB SNR = Very good signal
    15dB to 25dB SNR = Low signal
    10dB to 15dB SNR = Very low signal
    5dB to 10dB SNR = No signal
    If you have a Mac laptop handy, I suggest downloading a copy of iStumbler. You will use iStumbler's Inspector feature (select Edit > Inspector from iStumbler's menu) to capture the Signal & Noise values.  Be sure to power-off each AXn as you only want to measure the SNR of the AEBSn. Start with your laptop near the AEBSn, note the readings, and then, take the same measurements at each of the locations where the AXns are placed.
    The SNR, as measured from the laptop, decreases as the range to the base station increases because of applicable free space loss. Also an increase in RF interference from microwave ovens and cordless phones, which increases the noise level, also decreases SNR.
    If the SNR is 25dB+ at each of these locations, then you should be getting reasonable signal quality from the AEBSn at all of these locationst. If less, either try to locate the source of the Wi-Fi interference or try relocating either of the AXns until they are within a 25dB SNR range.
    If, after relocating the AXns, you still do not get a high enough SNR, then you may want to consider employing Powerline adapters.

    I am unable to read the class 10 cards in my i5 quad core 15" MBP, as well. There are reported fixes, including resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) (see the details by following this link => http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964)... but so far, nothing I have found/tried will work with the class 10 cards, regardless of the SD card's storage capacity.
    EDIT TO ADD: My cards are Sandisk Extreme class 10, 16GB SDHC cards. I don't have the Extreme Pro version of the card. My personal experience leads me to believe the issue is related to the SPEED of the card and NOT THE SIZE.

  • Airport Extreme AC (5th Gen) and USB Hard Drives

    I just got a new iMac.
    Previously I had three external hard drives chained together directly via firewire 800 on a Mac Mnin. In the old configuration, Time Machine backed up to one of HDs pretty quickly. Since the new iMac doesn't have firewire - I took those same hard drives - using their USB 2 connections and put them on a hub connected to Airport Extreme. I see them under shared drives and access is great - but the back up speed is not very fast. Is there a better way to connect these drives for the purposes of Time Machine backups? They are formated Mac OS exteneded, etc
    Thanks.

    The confusing part to me was that the new Extreme has a USB2.0 spec?
    It is easier and cheaper.
    USB3 spec causes 2.4ghz wireless issues.
    See http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2423604,00.asp
    In a wireless router.. that aint good.. and some manufacturers have had issues.. Asus for example. Their USB3 are useless in several of the routers because they did not shield well enough.
    Internally the AC version AE is same chipset as the Asus.. they could have used USB3 which is built in.. but I think went conservative and decided not to as they were faced with early release of hardware they didn't understand. And so they are still having issues with the basic hardware.. imagine throwing in USB3 wireless issues.
    All of the above is total and utter speculation on my part. Apple are the most secretive company in the world.. they don't even own up to mistakes.. they never tell you what they are doing or why. No apple rep will say I am right or wrong.. total PR blackout.
    But IMHO that is why you should have bought a Time Capsule which has a SATA interface inside.. and is very much faster than USB2. The cost increase is only what the hard disk costs.
    No doubt gen7 or gen8 will suddenly come out with USB3. It always pays to keep some features up your sleeve even if the chipset manufacturer has them built in.

  • Does the new Airport Extreme work with Airport Express??

    I just installed the new airport extreme and I can't get my airport expresses to function as a part of the network. Does anyone know how to get past this? Do the expresses work with the new extreme?

    I assume this issue is true for both Express base stations ... that is, that their status lights go to solid amber when removed from the Extreme base station. A solid amber would indicate that the base station has failed to reinitialize with its "new" configuration.
    The only recommendation I have at this point, is to start over with just a single Express. Perform a "factory default" reset on both the Extreme and the Express. Leave them both powered-off after they complete their respective resets.
    Power-up the Extreme. Leave it in its default configuration which is to broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN. Connect the Express to one of the available LAN ports on the Extreme, and then, plug the Express into power.
    Your Mac should shortly "see" the new base station in the AirPort drop-down menu from the OS X menu bar. Select this new station and the AirPort Utility should start up. Use the utility's automated steps to configure the Express to extend the Extreme. Allow the Express to restart.
    Now remove the Express from power, and then, disconnect it from the Extreme. Place the Express in another location in the same room and plug it back into power. Does it eventually give you a green status light?

  • X-Fi Titanium PCI-Express: Are there Cracking & Popping issues with Battlefield 2 & 214

    Ok, now Creative came out with X-Fi Titanium PCI-Express, which supposedly should fix the cracking and popping issues with Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 232 since Creative technical support said the probelm with X-Fi and Battlefield series lied in PCI bus. Now the new audio card is using PCI-E bus. So does anyone with X-Fi Titanium still hearing the cracking and popping sounds when artillery fires?

    RB30, Do you also have the problem with your onboard audio?
    I can only give you my experience and that is that the new titanium works in my set up and I do not have any popping issues in BF242. There are lots of hassles installing the drivers as detailed in other posts. Plus they treat the drivers like they are the crown jewels and do not have them for download on the web site.
    The sound seems to be better than my onboard audio. Objects closer seem close and objects far away seem far away. I had an XtremeMusic card but I took it out since a problem always seemed to develop.
    I did not see any noticable increase in performance but that may be due to the fact that the performance in my system seems to be video card limited and not cpu limited.
    The EAX simulated 3D sound is excellent in BF242.
