No headphones in Windows Vista/7

This has been bugging me for a long time now and it's time to ask.
My Windows 7 speaker setup doesn't include an option for headphones:
Using onboard audio will allow me to choose Headphones. ?Using the same Creative driver under Windows XP will allow me to choose headphones. ?But under Vista and 7, the headphones option is missing.
I can still set CCL to Headphones, but I somehow feel that using this in combination with the Stereo setting under the Windows Speaker Setup is not optimal and that I'm missing out on some features that are offered by purchasing and using the X-Fi
X-FI XtremeGamer
Creative Labs X-Fi driver 2.8.003
Am I misconfiguredDid I not set something up properlyAre there more steps that need to be done beyond installing the driver and the Console LauncherIs this a problem with the driverSince upgrading to Vista a while ago, and subsequently 7 last year, I have never seen an option for headphones...unless I remove the X-Fi and use my onboard Realtek.
Any and all help and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated. ?If any other information is needed, I will gladly provide what I can. ?Thanks for your time.

Thank you for your response, KokChoy-CL.
So Stereo is the correct selection for headphonesThat's confusing, as there is still a selection for headphones in the CCL. The CCL seems to stay in sync with whichever speaker selection I'm making in the Windows 7 Speaker Setup, except when I have Headphones selected as my speakers in CCL.
For example, let's say I open CCL and set my speakers to 5.. If I open the Windows 7 Speaker Setup, no matter what it was previously set to, it is now set to 5.. If I go back to Windows Speaker Setup and change this to 7., Windows Speaker Setup is changed to 7.. I can also make these changes in the Windows Speaker Setup and they will also be changed in CCL...with an exception or two.
If I again go back to CCL and change my speakers to Headphones, Windows Speaker Setup will be set to Stereo. From this point, I can change Windows Speaker Setup to any of the other selections listed, but once CCL is set to Headphones, it will not change along with the Windows Speaker Setup.
Now, let's say I have CCL set to 5., but I want to change my speaker setup through Windows Speaker Setup. So I go there and change Windows Speaker Setup from 5. to Stereo. Back in CCL, my speaker setup has been changed from 5. to 2/2., not Headphones...
This is where I'm confused. What is the purpose of the Headphones selection in CCL and why would I choose that over 2/2. when I am using headphonesWhy does the Creative driver not allow for an option of headphones in the Windows Speaker setup. What is shown there is entirely dependent upon the sound driver. Why, when set to Headphones, does the CCL no longer recognize changes made to the Windows Speaker Setup
And more importantly, what is the correct settingI don't feel like I'm getting all that I can get out of this card. Configuring games is almost a crap shoot as some games seem to give better directional audio when set to 5., while others give better directional audio when set to headphones.
In older Source engine games(pre-L4D), when you launch them they detect the Windows Speaker settings and adjust accordingly. So in my case, in combination with ALchemy and CMSS, when I fire up, say, TF2, the Source engine detects my audio as 5., even though Windows Speaker Setup is set to Stereo and CCL is set to Headphones. If I remove TF2 from the list of ALchemy enabled games, it only detects 2/2.. But Windows Speaker Setup is still set to stereo and CCL is still set to Headphones. I guess ALchemy is doing the job of providing surround support here, thus the 5. selection...but the Source engine also provides an option for headphones. I can set it this way when I launch the game, but it's forced back to 5. with every subsequent launch, due to detection of Windows speaker settings. I can also force the headphone selection through a configuration file that runs every time the game is started. But if the X-Fi driver provided for an option of headphones, it would just detect headphones and I'd be on my way...
But with the game set to 5., there is a world of difference in sound as opposed to when it's set to headphones. In my opinion, the 5. selection is far superior. But why is 5. a superior selection to headphones when I am actually using headphonesMaybe that's specific to the Source engine... Maybe I'm supposed to be setting my games to 5. It's very confusing and I haven't been able to come across much Creative documentation, let alone one that would give me a clear and definiti've answer.
I guess I'm just confused. Each game seems to perform differently with different settings. In some games, a 5. setting will sound marvelous and I'm totally immersed. In other games, a 5. setting will make all the sounds sound "fabricated". I wish I could describe it better than that, but to keep it simple, sometimes 5. sounds amazing while at other times it doesn't work right.
How am I supposed to get the most out of this X-FiI've read all the stickies here, I've read tons of stuff on other boards, I've gone through all the tutorials here on Creative's site... There is conflicting information all over the place, even on Creative's own site. I would just like to know how I am supposed to go about setting this up. I've had it for almost two years now and I've been happy so far, but the Windows 7 driver from June seems to be lacking the proper functionality for me to continue using the card. I get mixed results in every game. If it comes down to it, I don't mind at all having to change settings per game... I'd just like to know which settings need to be set to what.
If an option for headphones doesn't exist in Windows Speaker Setup, what are the proper CCL and in-game settings I need to useI only use headphones, like a lot of gamers. Since this card is specifically tailored for gamers, why would an option for headphones not be available in Windows Speaker SetupWill this be corrected in future driver releases or is the plan to move forward with only a selection of Stereo
Thanks again for your time.

  • Headphone jack not working in Windows Vista!!!

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 13 inch running Mac OSX 10.5 leopard. I recently installed Windows Vista through boot camp and have been experiencing some problems. I have installed all of the drivers from the OSX installer DVD (or so it seems) just like your supposed to, but my headphone jack will not work! I have tried several kinds of headphones and speakers, but no matter what I do, sound only plays through the built-in speakers. Note that the jack works perfectly when Im on the Mac OSX side. Anyone know how to fix this???

    No matter what Mac, for sound, all Apple does is 'create' or enable the device, Boot Camp doesn't include full sound driver support, for that you need to manually install/update using the proper device chipset driver (Cirrus, Realtek, etc).

    If the AX is working properly, it should not show up in your list of available networks (since it is "joined" to your router). Have you unplugged and replugged your AX? Unplugged and, after a minute, replugged your router? Do you have MAC address filtering enabled on your router? (if so, disable it to see if the AX works ... it will broadcast its MAC address to the router, and you can add it.) Is your firewall turned on? Turn it off and see if you can access Airtunes. You will have to open a port in your firewall if that is the case.
    The AX should have the same network name as your router the wireless tab. When it shows up, what name is it broadcasting?

  • Windows Vista 64 bit w/older 2 dual core 3.0ghz Mac Pro with NVIDIA 7300

    I have read a variety of the posts that have appeared here on the use of Windows Vista 64 bits on a Mac Pro. I remain confused, and but want to do this. I have a Mac Pro purchased in the Spring of '07 with dual 3.0Ghz dual core Xeon cpus and 10gb of ram, using the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT and running 10.5.1, with multiple drives. I want to run the 64 bit version of Vista Ultimate to use my ram, and to gain the performance this box should offer. It appears that I have three options:
    1. Boot Camp: I don't know if the drivers are available, seems like the new Mac Pro drivers probably would not work, even if I could find them, since I have an older Mac Pro with a pair of the dual core Xeon CPUs. Don't know if there is an alternate source than Apple for the drivers, or a way to get around the problem in boot camp.
    2. Parallels: I do not believe that 64 bit apps are supported by Parallels
    3. Fusion: Their web site says they support Win Vista 64 bit, but it is not clear to me on the web site where the drivers are obtained, or perhaps they are built in to Fusion. Will I get the performance and memory benefits in fusion? Or is the OSX virtual overhead so high that this is a fools errand?
    I do a lot of video editing, and fully 95% of my life is in the Mac world, but I have individuals who send files for editing, and occasionally they require Windows tools, much to my chagrin. I also have a small number of programs that need Windows 64. I occasionally am required to do some development work, and would like to use this machine for that purpose if it can indeed run Win Vista 64bit. I have XP loaded on a more modest box andit is running fine when I need it, which isn't very often.
    Any help, or successful experience in running Windows Ultimate 64 bit on this hardware, utilizing its resources would be greatly appreciated.

    Here are my results after further digging online and from my own experience.
    Here is the procedure:
    1. Check whether your Mac has the 32-bit EFI or 64-bit EFI
    http://www.ihackintosh.com/2009/08/snow-leopard-106-and-64-bit-what-you-need-to- know/
    2. Create a Boot Camp (BC) partition for Windows 7 x64. Resize the partition size using the slider in the BC app. Follow the instruction, insert the Windows 7 disk and reboot.
    3. This will load the PC partition which is FAT formatted for now. Choose the Boot Camp partition on which to install Win 7, but choose in the option to format that partition. It will automatically format it in NTFS. Otherwise, it will not install on that partition.
    Note : A "OEM System Builder" Windows 7 64-bit Professional UPGRADE install without any issues what so ever. The upgrade disk is a full install. Read this for further information:
    http://www.pcworld.com/article/174288/windows7_upgrade_madecheaper.html
    4. Run windows, then insert the Snow Leopard disk. It will tell you your hardware cannot support x64 version. Do the following procedure to manually install the driver:

    5. Then update Boot camp using Apple Software Update in Windows.
    6. All hardware works fine except the sound. The sound only comes out of the internal speaker, even when headphone or speakers are plugged in the jack. Installing the Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs driver in order to fixe the problem. Shutdown and reboot to make it applicable. Try a second time if it still does not work:

  • IPod classic 160GB not detected under Windows Vista

    Hi,
    I was trying to find something on that problem, but obviously all the problems with iPod and Vista are slightly different.
    Here's my story:
    Toshiba Portege R400
    Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit
    iPod Classic 160GB
    iTunes 7.6.0.29
    USB 2.0
    When I try to connect iPod to the computer NOTHING happens. Not that it starts searching for drivers or something like that. NOTHING.
    The same iPod works fine with another computer but there's XP. I haven't tried it with different Vista so far.
    USB ports are fine cause other devices like mouse or headphones work fine.
    What else... I re-installed iTunes 3 times so far, didn't help. I also have the latest updates for Vista (at least Windows Update says that).
    I know there are some workarounds to point different folder to look for drivers etc. But I don't even have the opportunity, cause nothing happens.
    I've noticed one thing: when the iPod is plugged-in and I turn on the comp then, the iPod display flashes. It doesn't say it's connected but it reacts. And that's all. Later it comes back to normal "not working".
    Have anyone encountered similar problem?
    Regards
    Tomek

    I have the same problem and I have Windows XP on 2 machines with iTunes. I plug the iPod in and it is not detected at all.
    I plugged it into my girlfriends laptop (also XP) without iTunes and it is detected and works fine.
    I have uninstalled iTunes and that does not help, it's like the iPod Classic 160GB is invisible on my 2 main machines...

  • No audio in Windows Vista Home Basic - Compaq Presario c765TU

    Hi all,
    A couple of days ago, my Compaq Presario c765TU lost audio while fastforwarding through a movie I was playing on VLC. The video was stored on an external hard drive. Tried playing music and video files stored on the laptop's local drive, still no sound.
    Audio drivers and BIOS have been updated. Audio devices are listed as installed and working properly in the Device Manager.
    Contemplating on doing a clean re-install of Windows Vista to see if that will work. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It's hard to know exactly which it is at this point.  It could be one of two things.  The speakers have failed or the jack detect pin located inside the headphone jack has failed.  A non-functional jack detection pin would cause the system to route audio to the headphone jack constantly instead of the internal speakers.  
    If you want to be absolutely certain it is not a software issue (corrupted registry possibly), you can try the system recovery making sure to backup your files.  I suspect this is a hardware issue, but it could very well be a corrupted registry causing the jack detection pin not to be read properly.

  • No sound on Satellite Pro A120 with Windows Vista

    Hi
    I have had to reinstall my Vista operating system and rebuild my A120 Satellite Pro from the revovery disk.
    Most things are fine but I cant get any sound from the speakers of headphine jack.
    I have checked andit says that the Realtek High Definition Sound Driver is installed and working correctly.
    My volume buttons are up high on the mixer and on Windows Media Player.
    The driver is Realtek 6.0.1.5317
    Help would be much appreciatesd

    Nothing through the speakers, nothing via the headphone socket. Volume bar goes up and down with the music as it should do when you play an audio file. Tried the Windows Vista built in driver, the Realtek ones from the Toshiba site.
    Last thing to try is rebuilding to the XP support disk, making sure the volume is right at the tip and unmuted, and try reinstalling Vista again, which is tonight's job, but I'm not feeling hopeful about it. Like I said before the toshiba unmute tool didn't do anything for me.

  • Windows Vista Boot Camp - No Audio (sound)

    Hi Guys,
    I just got my father's Macbook Pro he bought last year for christmas, and I was already excited how I could actually have both Mac and Windows on one laptop (as I need Windows for making music in Fl Studio). Now the problem is, that there is no Sound coming out of the MBP when in Windows, and there is the infamous red light coming out of the Headphones Jack. I'll explain everything I did in steps so that you get the idea. So first of all, I started with the Bootcamp Partition and Installation. Since I lost my Mac OS X (or tbh my father lost it   ) I was happy to see that I could actually download the 'support software a.k.a. Drivers' directly before the installation. Well, guess what, It didn't work because the 'support software was not available'. Anyways, I proceeded with the Installation as if I had the CD and Drivers ready. Everything went fine, after booting to Windows I installed Bootcamp and the drivers (Since I found someone posting the .Iso file of the contents of the MAC OS X CD I lost, so I downloaded it.), I was excited to see that every button on the keyboard worked and also the trackpad worked almost flawlessly.Now after the Installation, I did some Windows updates, and then I wanted to listen to some Music, and suddenly I realized that my Sound isn't working! And the Jack started to Glow Red.
    So I went online, in search of the problem. I found various 'fixes' for the problem, such as installing a Cirrus Driver (well that didn't work, as it said that my windows is in Slovak and that's not a supported language... what the ****?), then I tried to install Realtek Drivers - didn't do anything (although I didn't uninstall the old ones, because I wasn't sure how exactly to do that.)... Well I think it might be helpful if I'll just summarize what 'fixes' I tried:
    Update to Boot Camp 3.1 - Didn't work
    Update to Service Pack 1 or later. - Updating to Service Pack 1 and then 2 got rid of the red light, when there is no sound output, as soon as I try to play something it's back on, glowing like a Christmas Tree
    Try to wiggle a toothpick in the headphone jack - amazing fix, isn't it? Well I actually found out that It worked for some people, and since I'm desperate, I tried it... As expected, it didn't work.
    Install Realtek Drivers - as mentioned above, didn't work...
    Install Cirrus Drivers - Slovak Language not 'supported'... right.
    Update Boot Camp to latest update - Didn't Work...
    Install a 32 Bit Version of Windows -  I didn't mention this, I had first a 64 bit version of Windows 7 Installed, and the sound didn't work as well. As there was some problem with the Boot Camp installation, I tried to reinstall to 32 Bit, But used Windows Vista instead, because I heard Windows 7 Is 'not yet  supported' or something..
    Make sure the Speakers are 'preset' as a default device in the Sounds Control Panel -  It Already was preset -.-
    'Rage Plug' the computer and hope for the best...? Yeah.
    Can anyone finally tell me how to fix this, I am desperate, tired, angry and all the other negative emotions you can imagine right no, because I spent hours on this, looking up millions of forums, in which there was no answer for me!!
    Please.
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You have to download the drivers. To download them, press X key while your Mac is starting to start into Mac OS X, open Boot Camp Assistant and follow the steps to download them. You will have to burn them onto a DVD or USB drive, so you will be able to install the drivers on Windows. Then, it should work fine.
    If you can't download them in Boot Camp Assistant, download the drivers from this website > http://www.cafe-encounter.net/p682/download-bootcamp-drivers The links are from Apple and that's safe to download and install

  • Itunes problem with windows Vista

    ok i bought my touchsmart tx2 1025 with windows vista ultimate 64 bit and well i ve noticed that ..well since this is my third time i exchange this computer and i noticed there was a problem with the speakers when i was playing music that anytime during a song i would get this distorted sound like when u put a lot of volume in ipod headphones that it sounds like a crack. Well that happened in my computer even with low volumes.
    However I played two times the same song on itunes and two times on windows media player.
    Every single time on itunes the sound came as if the speakers were about to blow... like a crack..
    Every single time on Windows media player it never sounded like that.
    So i am pretty sure its an itunes problem. Does anyone know how to fix this.. i would rather use itunes than windows media player but i really hate the sound it makes sometimes because it shows about 2 to 3 times during one song.

    It's possible that the song your playing does indeed have a little audio distortion in it, some media players are capable of filtering it out in a silent way, others play a beep, hence with one song I have, if i play it in windows media player it goes on and then for a split second theres a beep, iTunes doesent seem to do it, so instead of filtering out the missing data, it plays it.
    This is more likley a problem with the song than iTunes

  • ITunes, Shuffle and Windows Vista

    Microsoft is releasing Windows Vista in January. Are there any plans for the iTunes software/IPOD firmware to be upgraded to be compatible with Windows Vista?!? I've found that the IPOD Shuffle Reset utility does not install on Windows Vista. ITunes works, and sees IPOD/Shuffle, however get error 1418 almost always, iTunes locks up, can't transfer songs to shuffle, get error" can't read/write"...or AutoFill. I've found that if I use the reset utility on a Windows XP machine (have to do this twice)...then plug it into the Windows Vista machine, If I select "allow iTunes to automatically add songs to the IPOD" it works. But, can't delete songs from IPOD or add any new ones manually. I'm a developer, so this is a full release version of Windows Vista. Just curious, what the plans are to bring iTunes/IPOD in line with the Windows release, and if there is anything that I can do now to remedy this.

    Oh, so the iPad DOES work fine connected to the same computer and the same port.  I thought you said it did not in the first post, but maybe you got that working (or I misunderstood before).
    NOTE:  When things are working properly, the shuffle will not appear in Windows Explorer (except when actively syncing), unless you have Enable disk use turned on for the shuffle.  So not seeing it in Windows Explorer may not be a problem.
    Is this shuffle a new purchase... so it did not previously work for you on this computer?  If so, make sure that the shuffle end of the USB cable is fully inserted into the headphones jack.  The fit can be tighter than expected, and it may seem connected, but is not.  For a surprising number of people, this was the problem.
    In iTunes, is the sidebar (along left side of window) visible.  If it is hidden, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  When there are no devices connected, the heading DEVICES should not appear in the sidebar.  When you connect your iPad, DEVICES should appear, with the iPad listed below.  If you connect the shuffle, it is be added to the list under DEVICES.  To confirm, you do not see the shuffle listed there under DEVICES, when it is connected?
    When you connect the shuffle, does its light on the shuffle do anything?

  • Bootcamp: Sound not working on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit

    Hello everyone, I've got quite an unsual problem (whell at least I think anyway). On my iMac (Mid 2008, 2.4Ghz C2D, 2GB ram, 2400XT), I recently installed Windows Vista Ultimate (32 bit). I've been using the sound out of the speakers, until now when I decided to connect some extenal speakers. I have the bootcamp drivers installed (from Snow Leopard DVD). When I plugged the headphone jack into the headphone socket on the back, I noticed that the sound was still coming out of the speakers, so I opened the preferences and it showed that I had something plugged into the line-in jack- which I didn't! I removed the headphone jack from the headphone socket and plugged it into the line-in. Nothing changed in the preferences. So basically, Windows thinks the line-out port is line-in! I would appreciate some help with this issue, not sure how common it is!
    Thanks :-)

    Hi I'm not sure if this is going to help but have you got the service pack 1 installed on your laptop as when I installed it on my desktop the first time it caused blue screen errors and gave me loads of problems including error messages that seemed to come up with every application I opened and an annoying driver IQRL equal or less than but couldn't work out why and then in the end I had so many problems I had to totally reformat my desktop and I removed my XP scanner and webcam(both had vista drivers) and when I reinstalled the service pack 1 it was fine, so do you by any chance have anything attached to your laptop that was XP and has vista drivers as these seemed to be what was causing my errors.
    Also a question about your graphic card drivers, I've got the same laptop as you and was looking for the graphic card driver updates and couldn't find them anywhere on the site, where did you find yours? I'm using Vista Home Premium 32 bit , my model number is A200-28P(PSAE6) and I'd love to know if there is a newer graphics card driver but can't find it on the knowledge base so the fact you've updated yours would you mind pointing a new user in the right direction :-)

  • No driver for Airport Exteme WLAN card working in Windows Vista (32bit)

    Hello,
    Fairly recently I had an Airport Extreme card installed into my Mac Pro. Of course everything works on the Mac side and the card appears with the following info:
    Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme (0x14E4, 0x8E)
    Wireless Card Locale: USA
    Wireless Card Firmware Version: Broadcom BCM43xx 1.0 (5.10.38.35)
    Current Wireless Network: XXX
    Wireless Channel: 1
    Under Windows Vista Ultimate (32bit) the card comes up with the following hardware ids:
    PCI\VEN14E4&DEV_432B&SUBSYS_008E106B&REV01
    PCI\VEN14E4&DEV_432B&SUBSYS008E106B
    PCI\VEN14E4&DEV_432B&CC028000
    PCI\VEN14E4&DEV_432B&CC0280
    The Leopard DVD does not seem to contain any compatible drivers for Windows using Bootcamp for this card. I am really struggling to find a driver that works. The card is listed as 43XX in OS X, and by the Windows hardware ids it seems to be a 432B? I've tried third party drivers for this Broadcom chipset range and nothing will work and even detect a compatible card installed.
    Surely there is a working Windows Vista driver for this Broadcom chipset? Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    thanks for replying..... I'm using the latest driver from the site X.0004 for the x-fi xtremegamer fatality pro. The Sound card is detected just fine. The card shows up correctly, but its just that there are no sound coming out from any of the line out. If I play an mp3 or a movie, I can see that the bar is moving under "Sound" in control panel. I've tested it using headphones etc. The card itself is fine because I tested it on windows xp, well the store where I bought it from did. So its not a hardware problem.

  • No headphones setting in Vista!

    What can I do!
    When I select 2 speakers in sound settings, all my games reset to 2 speaker mode on every startup.
    Older games like Counter-Strike .6 that don't let you set it manually also output in 2 speaker mode. Which results in noises focused left and right very unnaturally.
    Needless to say how do I use headphones properly in Vista..

    I'm missing the headphones setting too. Using the front speakers setup instead of headphones placement resulted in terrible aural image. There is a headphones setting in Creatives Console but it'sis not enough. Windows fooled about 2.0 setup and thus it is using wrong software matrixing in games and multimedia players.
    Not to mention i'm waiting for OpenAL be fixed for nowadays common Vista X64 + 8GB RAM
    Still no OpenAL, no headphones setting, no AC3 decoder, nothing! Moreover it do not support 96khz rates in stereo as the specifications said. Just an usual $10 plain stereo card instead of Elite Pro, my worst buy ever.
