Noise with a X-Fi Express Card to Notebooks

+ Hi everybody,
I have a x-fi express card which creates a soft noise. If I listen to my music very hard I don't really notice it that much, but if I want some background music or just a very soft song it dri'ves me crazy.
I've been having this problem for over a year now and don't know what to do about it.
I hope someone can give me some advice.
Grtz, Eric

Heh, if that's true then CL's "new and enhanced" proposal for notebooks would be actually INFERIOR to what it came to replace (well, someone who traded an Audigy 2 (not value) for an allegedly "better" Xtreme Audio would probably come to the same conclusion).
The sad fact is that the reviewers obviously know jack, and just rejoice about how it will benefit "mobile gamers" (that was a good one) as well as "audio enthusiasts" and bring the "next generation" of X-Fi audio to notebooks. Yeah, maybe the LOGO of the X-Fi audio ;-)
BTW, has anyone attempted using the "Xtreme Audio" drivers and software on an an Audigy SE or SB Li've! 24, perhaps with a minimal amount of softmodding?Message Edited by CreativeSkeptic on 03-24-200709:9 PM

  • Does T61p can work with any USB3.0 Express Card?

    Does T61p can work with any USB3.0 Express Card?
    For example AKA BC398 with chip NEC 700200?
    Or any other?

    i don't think many people have tested these cards, theortically it should support them, but not at the full speed. Since the ExpressCard slot is 1.0 standard.

  • Firewire PCI Express cards

    I'm sorry if this is semi-redundant with the usb pci express card page already posted, but I was wondering if anyone knew if either of these would work on the Mac Pro:
    http://www.aaxeon.com/products/Productdetail.aspx?cate=8&modelno=FWB3414#specs
    http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail.asp?dpno=709052
    If so, does anyone have any experience with either or know which is better? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!
    Mac Pro    

    I checked OWC and they are saying Aaxeon for any PCIe Mac (dual core, quad, and Mac Pro). SIIG is probably, as usual, just reselling and putting their name on someone else's (and probably someone else's firmware, too).
    I don't like the "20MB/sec writes based on manuf's tests" part though. But I probably will pick one up nonetheless.

  • MSI GX620 Compatibility to usb 3.0 express card

    Hi
    i have GX620 and i recently bought this USB 3.0 2TB Hard drive:
    http://go.iomega.com/en/products/external-hard-drive-desktop/prestige-amp-professional-desktop-series/prestige-usb3/?partner=4745#tech_specsItem_tab
    to have it working by the standard transfer rate of usb 3.0
    i bought this USB 3.0 express card:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330630032087
    the transfer rates are quite slow 30-40 Mbps
    not much more then i get with normal USB 2.0
    im asking if the GX620 should be compatible to work with this kind of express card
    and for this kind of transfer rates of USB 3.0 ?
    thank you

  • ESATA express card does not work with Mavericks. Any suggestions?

    This is an Apiotek II 300 Express Adapter. I went out to Apiotek.com and it appears the domain is for sale. Is there any way to get a software update or do I have to buy a new Express Card that allows eSATA drives to work with Mavericks. I did a backup before I upgraded using X 10.7.5 and everything worked fine. The eSATA drive is not seen using Disk Utility either.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    The driver has to come from the manufacturer of the card, so your two options are to get another card or to use your full backup to go back to 10.7.5. That assumes it's a clone backup and not Time Machine.

  • Sony DCR-HC62 camcorder won't connect to iMovie with express card adapter

    I got a Sony HC62 Mini DV video camera but it will not connect to iMovie. Since I don't have a firewire 6 pin on my Mac (only a 9 pin) i got an express card adapter. So I am using 4 pin (camera) to 6 pin (Express card) firewire. I have no other devices to test the express card but i tested the firewire and the video camera that I got and it works fine with a Windows XP computer. I have also talked with sony and I ended up with either there is something wrong with the express card or the iMovie software.

    Well there is nothing there because the express card is listed under a PCI card. The express card is recognized when inserted but that is it will not notice the camera attached to the express card. since i couldn't test the card i went and got the card replaced, but still with no luck.
    Would returning the express card and buying a firewire 4 pin to 9 pin be worth it? (given that i can get one since i can only find one company that makes them and they are a wholesales only) This way i can connect it directly to my mac's firewire 9 pin port.

  • Satellite P300-220 (PSPCCE) and express card with firewire

    I have problems with a shared IRQ between firewire (IEEE1394) connector and ati radeon 4600 mobility.(the IRQ used by both device is the 16)
    This sharing make my firestudio presonus (sound card external via firewire) problems while reading music on my DAO.
    I would like to buy an express card to solve this problem but i must be sure than it will not be the same IRQ (16) than the other firewire connection.
    If you are using such a card please verify wich IRQ is used when it's connected on the laptop.
    You can see it with the device manager.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi
    The Windows OS controls and assigns automaticity all recourses to all controllers!
    In my case the SD host controller and the graphic card shares the same IRQ 16 and there is NO conflict.
    So I doubt that your issue is related to the same IRQ which is uses by graphic card and firewire.
    Sorry but this is everything what I can suggest regarding your issue

  • Satellite P300-150 PSPC4E: Cannot get Express Card slot working with XP

    Hello.
    I have downgraded to XP on my machine and unfortunetly I am unable to get the Express card slot to work.
    The Intel chipset drivers on the Toshiba site haven't dont anything.
    I am trying to get an eSata port working via the express card like I did with Vista but no joy at all.
    Any ideas?
    Regards
    Rob

    Go to Device Manager and check if the express card is installed properly, or if its reporting an error.
    You should update the BIOS to the latest version. BIOS updates can sometimes fix problems like this.
    And ensure you have XP Service Pack 2 or 3 installed.

  • Does Sonnet Express Card 34 eSata Work with Lion?

    I am looking to see if the Sonnet Express Card 34 eSata  works with Lion OS

    If your card is listed on the product site from Sonnet (e.g: http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_sata_express34.html), you could get the answer by looking at the "Technical Specifications". Be sure that you're looking at the specifications of the correct card, since some seem to be compatible and some are not. Furthermore, if your card is based on the Silicon Image Sil3132 chip, it's (today) not supported. If there are any doubts left, try to connect Sonnet directly...

  • W700DS with Express card issues

    Hi All
    I have a W700Ds, With a 34mm Express card slot.
    I am trying to get it to work with two cards....
    Firstly a First com  4 port USB 2 card.
    The Device manager says that the card is working ok and the driver is correctly installed however anything plugged into any of the 4 ports does not show up.???
    2nd an AVER MEDIA Tv card.
    The blue power light is on
    The driver was successfully installed .
    However when I start the TV program I get the error message that says the Device is not found ?
    Anyone got any helpful ideas ?
    Thanks in Advance.

    I guess your USB card has a power jack for USB bus power? Depending on the USB device you use you have to provide external power through either a USB port or an external power supply.

  • New MacBook Pro won't ake up from sleep with Express Card in it.

    My Mac won't come out of sleep if there is an express card in it. If I hit the power switch both screens light up but the mouse and keyboard are unresponsive. My only option at this point is to hold the power switch and (to quote Moss) "Force and unexpected reboot".
    It also locks up if I power off and remove the card while it is awake.
    Any help would be appreciated. If the answer is to load the next version of the OS to be released this month, I'll do that.

    I have the same problem....MBP not waking from sleep with SIIG 2-Port ExpressCard installed....
    10.4.10 etc..... Same thing happened with 10.4.9
    I'll have to try the "Turn Power Off" command from the menu bar to see if that helps. But I just figure on having to do a funky restart if the machine goes to sleep on me.
    Usually I'm editing and having the Energy Saver set to "Never Sleep" because that screws up editing software. But when I'm not editing....sleep my pretty!

    Hi.  I have a Macbook Pro Model 5,5 with one 800 firewire port.  I need to create two firewire 800 ports but only have an SD card slot (this is for video interface with 2 cameras).  Is this possible or do I have to have an express card slot in order to do this?

    Hi Jessica,
    No, the SD slot will not work, you need an ExpressCard/34 slot.
    I do not know if it works with cameras, but with two or more HDs, if the first one has two FW ports, you can "daisy chain" one or more additional HDs from it.

  • Verizon V640 Express Card use with G4 powerbook: Adaptor needed?

    I must move to rural area for a short period of time where I will need Verizon as my ISP provider. Cable/dialup/DSL are not options.
    I am considering the Verizon V640 card for use with curent G4 powerbook. It seems to be the optimal card for use in any newer Mac models I might get in the future.
    Verizon web site indicates need for adaptor for use in my PCI Type I/II (cardbus) slot. Seems to make sense, but I want to make sure.
    Has anyone used the V640 card in G4 powerbook? Better solutions?

    It's an express card and is smaller that the pcmcia card that would normally fit into a powerbook g4 slot. It should fit normally into a Mac Book Pro. So, I assume it does make sense. At their web site they say it is a pcmcia/express card adapter.

  • Defective Tecra S11 - Need new notebook with Express-Card-Slot

    My TECRA-S11-166 is faulty.
    I need a new Notebook with *Express-Card-Slot* and (if its possible) RS232.
    What kind of Notebook comes with a Express-Card-Slot ?

    Hi
    There are different Toshiba notebooks on the market and Toshiba releases new models in very short intervals.
    I would recommend you to visit the Toshiba notebook product page and to compare the available series and models.
    The Tecra laptops offer a business professional use and Portege series are very best in mobile computing.
    The Satellite series are entertainment machines designed to provide exceptional all-round performance.
