  • 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.

    the usb sound blaster x fi 5.1 pro thx does come with ddl but not dts connect.
    it works for games and movies using optical n get digital surround sound

  • Linux and the Sound Blaster Live

    Ive got my hands on a SB Li've 24bit external sound card and after some fiddling around I seem to only have standard stereo and no 5. Audio.
    My question is has anyone got these things to output 5. on Linux yet.
    I'm going to have to return it back to the distributor as I seem to be miss informed that it would work in Linux.
    Im getting this feeling that most Creative stuff is not "Linux friendly" and may not recommend their wares in future,
    Looks like its time to start a Linux Audio device company, 40 million users is a nice market.

    Hello,
    Please bear with me as I'm a complete novice on this.....
    I have the laptop, and whist re-decorating the room, I have?run?6 cables (sub woofer to be at the?rear of the room) to a wall mounted connector plate. So I think I need the following;
    . Software to convert the sound within my laptop to 5. format (if not already done) and to get it to a USB. Installed sound card should be capable of this.
    2. USB?cable from PC to ?The Sound Blaster? Li've!? 24-bit External?
    3. The Sound Blaster? Li've!? 24-bit External?
    4. Maybe someting else to amplify and distribute the audio
    5. 6 short leads to my wall mounted connector plate
    6. Speakers
    Not sure if the aboe helps?and perhaps there's another way of doing it instead of using the?Sound Blaster? Li've!? 24-bit External?
    Many thanks

  • About the Sound Blaster Live!

    Ok.... Can you not buy this card anymore? Cause every place i go to order they say the manufacturing is no longer supplying them or some crap. I ordered one and waited for almost 2 weeks finaly i e-mailed them and they were no longer available (from buy.com) and so other places they say it was in inventory so can you not buy the Sound Blaster Li've! 5. anymore? :'( cuz its the card i need =(

    I've searched around for some options for you. Here is one that may do the trick, but it's not a simple PCI sound card. You may want to contact one of the sound card makers you are planning on purchasing from and ask them. You can contact Creative Labs from this page and they may be able to give you a better answer.

  • Will the Sound Blaster Digital I/O Module enable me to use my DTT3500's with my audigy

    I have a vanilla audigy 4. Just found out that it only supports 2. digital speakers. My DTT3500's are 5. and in the spaeker test only the front left and right make a sound, as digital 2.. will the Sound Blaster Digital I/O Module enable me to get digital 5. as my old soundblaster li've platinum 5. let me do? ie. all speakers show up in the speaker test?
    yours sincerely,
    john kelly

    No. The digital output module is simply an adaptor to standard 2-channel connections such as optical, coaxial etc. Even if it includes the bigger 9-pin DIN connector which was the first generation of the DIN connectors, the Digital Output on the Audigy 4 is still only giving it 2 channels of sound, so all rest speakers will be silent.
    If you are interested and have the skills you may modify the DTT3500 to support an extra analog connection for the center channel, the instructions were posted on this forum somewhere. Do a search...
    There is really no other way to have the center channel receiving the signal from the card. (Theoretically you could modify the card to get the signals from there, but the chances are you will most propably destroy it in the process).

  • Multiple cases in which the Sound Blaster Arena USB Headset breaks. . .

    I bought the Complexity edition of the Sound Blaster Arena Surround USB Gaming Headset. After using it for months the USB connector part of the headset breaks and falls apart. Feedback from here shows that this has happened to many other people (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826158084).
    I want to know if can get this repaired as this is a defect. When i tried submitting an RMA it says that the serial isnt recognized but when i registered my product it works.

    Hello Bunbotman990,
    Please get in touch with customer support here if you have problems with the online RMA. I'm not sure but for issues like this, they may have to ask you to send in a pic of the defective part.

    How can I get Data from the Sound cart in Labview? Does a VI exist?

    Yes, there are VIs for acquiring data from Sound cards. And examples too. If you don't have LabVIEW yet, do a search on NI's site for example VIs.

  • 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.

  • A message from Creative to the Sound Blaster forum participa

    We have read the strong feedback about Creative's forum post regarding driver development by Daniel_k and other outside parties. Creative's message posted on our behalf by our Company spokesperson tried to address our concern about the improper distribution of certain software which is the property of other companies. However, we did not make it as clear as we would have liked that we do support driver development by independent third parties. The huge task of developing driver updates to accommodate the many changes in the Vista operating system and the extensi've testing required, including the lengthy Vista certification requirements for audio, makes it very difficult for Creative to develop updates for all past products. Outside developers have been very helpful to Creative and our customers by developing updates for many of our Sound Blaster products, and we do support and appreciate these efforts. This however does not extend to the unauthorized distribution of other companies' property. We hope to work out a mutually agreeable method for working with Daniel_k in supporting his efforts in driver development. Going forward, we are committed to doing a better job of working more closely with third parties to support their development for our products and our customers.

    May I be the first to say:
    Thank you for finally responding. :smileyvery-happy:
    It may be the beginning of repairing Creative's unfathomably huge PR snafu. Hopefully you guys can pull this one off, starting with this thread. If you can actually take this and turn the whole company around with it, I'm sure many Creative swear-offers may once again return to your products. By turning around, I mean:
    - Quit crippling hardware with bad (or intentionally bad) software. Yes, other companies (like nVidia, Intel, AMD, etc...) do this to maintain low production cost, but when it does work, it works well, and their products are branded as "lower priced alternati'ves". Everyone's seen unpopulated component pads on hardware boards, which entices people to want to buy the full featured version. But doing it between operating systems is absolutely ridiculous!
    - Support the driver community. Drivers dri've hardware. No drivers, no hardware! Concentrate as much effort on your drivers as you do your excellent hardware, and you will have a high quality product once again. I still love that the old ISA Sound Blasters often had built-in speaker amplifiers. That's a mark of quality and creativity. Hopefully you can do it again!
    - Rethink your corporate strategy. Everyone now knows about Creative's history of buying up companies to stifle competition... you've got to quit that stuff. It may give you more capital, but doing it in a Microsoftian fashion is just bound to get you bad press that your company isn't Microsoft-sized enough to handle. Again.
    - While Windows Vista may be the worst operating system in existence, that in no way gives you the right to refuse support on older hardware when it's darn well capable of being supported. nVidia and ATI are shining examples of this - they still support their most ancient of hardware in the newest operating systems. That's what's given me the ability to put [url="http://nliteos.com">nLite[/url]ned versions of Windows XP on darn near every computer I come across, and make it run better than ever. You need to quit spewing out excuses and start spewing out working drivers.
    - And for crying out loud, your driver self extractor is atrocious. It doesn't need to rattle off the CRC as it computes each byte. I can't be the only person that is annoyed by that
    With that, let's see the news flow right on in.

  • How does one enable Stereo Mix on the Sound Blaster Arena Surround USB Gaming Headset

    I'm usually streaming games and I picked up this headset to replace my old gear.
    I've noticed in 32-bit XP Pro I do not have the option to enable stereo mix which was how i was able to stream game audio and commentary on.
    Does a work around exist to enable stereo mix or to otherwise transmit audio from both the input and playback sources?
    BTW I've also posted this on the Livestream forums to see if I can get a bite.

  • Question Regarding the Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Gam

    Hello everyone, I apologize if this question has been asked dozens of times, but it's something I've dug through countless number of posts to find an answer to. I bought a sennheiser pc 350 headset this past weekend along with a sound blaster x-fi x-treme gamer sound card. I opened up my case, plugged the card into the pci slot, screwed it down and finally plugged in the power cable into the card. Upon bootup I disabled the on board sound in the BIOs, although?I did notice that the optical out slot emitted a redish light, which I'm not sure indicates a problem or not.
    Anyways, after booting up the computer detects the new hardware, so I install everything on the vista CD before going online and downloading the latest drivers off the creative website. I'm running Vista 64 bit ultimate btw. After installation I reboot the system and hook my microphone into optical out and my headset into line . I ended up getting sound in my headset just fine, but no matter what I did I could not for the love of me get the mic to work. And that's the sole problem, the little microphone lol. I've read several posts about the same thing, although they date awhile back and I was hoping a solution has emerged since. I've read that on the x-fi control panel line and mic need to NOT be muted, but whenever I unmute on, it mutes the other. I also find the digital I/O setting tab which also may be the culprit, as it has the selection for mic-in/line , but I can't select it!
    Otherwise I believe everything is fine.. in the control panel under speech recog options I went into advanced settings under speech recog and set the sb xfi mic to the default... and yes, in the sound tab the mic is the default with everything else being unavaible and the auxiliary being disabled ( is this ok? ) and in playback speakers are the default rather than spdif out - not sure which should be the default. The mic, speakers, and spdif say they are all "working" and although playback works... no recording.
    Anyways, I'm sorry for the long post, I just thought I would give as much possible information as?I could to help get a solution... I appreciate any comments and please - please help me fix this thing! lol.

    Sounds like you have misapprehended something regarding usage of analog and digital I/Os?
    st, you don't plug the microphone into optical output but into FlexiJack port (as it's called). Check the X-Fi User's Guide for more.
    2nd, when you wonder that those other choices being not available when one is selected, what makes you think that the card would be able to record more than one source at once through one input port (For Creative cards, this can be possible when using ASIO drivers but, does your card have more than one input port. (if there's a AUX port (internal connector on card board) then maybe you could get both input ports listed w/ ASIO)?
    3rd, why the ouput would be defaulted to S/PDIF (you are normally using headphones or acti've analog speakers)?
    I don't know this model but if there's a separate Mixer Panel applet for X-Fi (you maybe need to install the Creative Software bundle to get this) then, have you checked your settings there (playback source should be set to MIC and recording source set to MIC)?

  • How to install the olds special effects of voices EAX in the Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty Platin

    Dear forum Members:?
    Today I acquired the new Sound Blaster X-Fi Fataty Champion Series Platinum, but I have taken myself the surprise that the sound effects EAX - that in?the old card included voice effects like? ZEUS, Man -> Woman, Woman -> Man, Squirrel, etc., - they are no longer in the options of?EAX, and the sound environments only come.
    For my it is very important that EAX has those?special sound effects that he had the old one?version of Audigy, since with them we took place?voices distorted in a radial program that?we transmit every Friday for Internet, since 6 years old.
    Without those effects, a complete block of the program - the humor block-, it won't be been able to make,?and this will be a great loss for our?transmission and our auditors.
    For it, I request them earnestly that me?indicate how to be able to install the old effects?special of EAX, particularly the Voices?
    distorted, since it is fundamental for?our work, and without them the purchase of this?new card will provoke us a bigger problem in?time of solving it.
    I request everyone them to assist?this request?to the brevity?possible, since really we need the effects?special EAX to work in our radio.
    ?Thanks

    Bredbandsbandit,
    The headsets for it will need to use /8'' minijack connecters (or up to /4'' if you get the Platinum/Fatalty/Elite Pro versions). USB headsets use their own software codec, basically making them software based sound devices which would bypass all of the advantages of the X-Fi.
    A really great headset choice for this would be the Creative ProGamer Headset NC22 however if you are looking for headphones I have used the Creative HN-505 Noise Cancelling Headphones with the X-Fi (I hope to have some impressions up in a few days) and they work absolutely amazingly. Basically you would do best with closed ear headphones with a good quality microphone.

  • Question About the Sound Blaster Ca

    I haven't yet read all the info on ever one of your cards, but was hoping one of you Creative Labs guys could answer my question for me. I looking for a card either now or maybe one you guys could think about to do more than one sound at a time. Meaning... Say I'm playing a PC game and have the game playing on my computer speakers.. or in my case. On my Home Stearo system. And I have a program, which in my case is Ventrilo. (Which is a Computer Specking program used to talk with other players online that are in our server) Now Looking for a card to play the game on the stearo speckers and the sound from vent (people talking) on my headphones. So You are hearing the game on the speckers in great 6.7 7., 5. sound.. and the talking is all coming though on the headphones.. so you can hear the people easyer when they are talking. Also making it more realistic. Sorry about my spelling also. Hopfully you guys will be able to see where I'm getting at. Maybe the card could do up to three different sounds on three different soucres. So is this card real? Something that could come out? Or just somehing that couldn't happen on a PC card. Thanks for reading.

    If you can specify which soundcard the program uses when you talk to other people, I have a setup that might work for you. Instead of trying to combine all of that into the soundcard, use the soundcard just for the game. Then use a bluetooth headset and a bluetooth network adaptor for the voice chat. The bluetooth antenna I have shows up as a second soundcard called bluetooth audio. If you can't specify which soundcard the program uses though then this most likely won't work.

Maybe you are looking for
