PCI Express X-fi Xtreme Audio - missing functions - Windows 7 64-bit

Trying to restore functionality to this card in Windows 7 64-bit. After i installed the card and the latest beta drivers from Creative, there seems to be no Gamer Mode option and in games such as Battlefield 242 and Bioshock i cannot select EAX options. All i can use is Entertainment mode. Also the Crystalizer doesn't make things clearer - all it does is make my songs go quiet/loud/quiet/loud/quiet/loud.
Any ideas folks?

PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio dissapears in Windows 7

I use a Mac Pro and run Windows 7 under bootcamp. Previously, Vista recognized the same audio card on the same machine. When I switched to Windows 7 I didn't see the X-Fi appear under audio devices, however after several attempts it finally 'found' the X-Fi board and it functioned properly. The problem is the X-Fi keeps 'disappearing' from Windows 7. When I re-boot it 'finds' it again but then after a short period of time loses it again.
Any ideas as to why it finds it and it functions briefly after a re-boot then disappears again shortly after that? Thanks,
Wally

PCI Express X-FI Xtreme Audio - Mic and mixer problems

6PCI Express X-FI Xtreme Audio - Mic and mixer problems' Trouble started two days ago when I updated to the latest X-FI drivers. Now I have no mixer and I can't figure out how to get my mic to work. The only thing that has changed is the updating of drivers. I am using senheiser headphones with mic for use on ventrillo. In the old set up I could go into the mixer and tell the software that the Line-In was a mic and it would work perfectly. Now I can't get the mic to work at all since there is no creative mixer. The windows mixer doesn't allow you to do anything worth wild.
I don't have the old software so I can't go back to the old setup. I am using Vista 64. What the heck am I doing wrong? Why won't the software now recognize that I am plugging in a mic!?!?!?
BAH!!!!
PLEASE HELP!

Doesn't Vista have some sort of automatic checkpointing feature that gives you a way to back up to a point before you updated the drivers?

Need help with PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio - Vista

Hi, bought this card pci exprss x-fi xtreme audio and installed, had a lot of problems in vista 64. Using a logitech z5500 5. soundsystem and first tried using the optical spdif to get DTS etc working but to no joy... Started using the 3.5 kables but nothing there either. And I cant find options to set the treble and base? the sound is really medioker as it is now.
Using the latest drivers for the card issued in may 08, latest alchemy and console files. what to do?
Dave?

To Collipa and Dudeface:
If you installed the support pack for the card but still have driver problems, have you used windowsudpate under Windows 7? Creative submitted a basic driver for the card that shows up in driver options under Windows Update. If you can let Windows Update install that driver, then you can update AFTER rebooting with the new one.
If that windowsupdate did not work, try this:
Download the newest driver for your card. Then, if you already have winace, winzip, winrar or even the free 7Zip, then you can right click that Creative executable file and then choose to........extract to......and do so to a temporary folder on your desktop or say, c:\Creative driver.
Then go to device manager and sound video and game controllers, and to your problem sound card, click driver, and update driver and browse my computer for software, and "let me pick"? and "have disk" and then browse to.......
C:\Creative driver\Install\wdm
Whereever you downlaoded the file to, the important directory is the INSTALL\WDM and choose OK and it should show Creative X-FI. Let it copy files, and it does take awhile, and then reboot and see if your sound card works.
here is the newest driver for your card:

S/PDIF options for PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card non-existant!

Hey guys, I've been searching around for this for a while now and I still come up with anything...
I currently have a PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card installed in my PC, and this cound card has a built-in optical output port. I have been trying to set the sound card to use this port and I still can not find anyway around it.
I have searched the support pages and they always go back and say that I can enable audio on that port using the Digital I/O icon in the media console (I'm in Entertainment mode btw, doesn't seem like I can change that). However, I don't have that icon present in my media console. I tried upgrading drivers, updating software but still to no avail
So right now i'm running Windows XP (32-bit) and what seem to be the latest software and drivers for this card, and none of this is making any sense to me and so I believe that I am going mad!
I am honestly starting to believe that the port is just there for decoration...

This seems to be a fairly common issue across out in the market.
Do you not think it would be worth while chasing this down internal to Creative and sharing the solution with everyone?
Pointing us one at a time to support for what should be readily available drivers doesn't make a lot of sense.

PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio - Win7 FlexiJack

I just upgrade my PC to Window7 and installed the new driver.
For some reason, the FlexiJack will NOT recognise my mic on my headphone.
The output is always set to speakers without the option of setting it to headphone as well..
I am not able to set it to mic and when I right click to bring up the menu, the set to default is grey out? Right now.. it's just not happening..
Can someone please advise me what I could be doing wrong?
BTW - there is no flexijack tab in the creative audio control panel.

PCI Express X-Fi Extreme Audio Optical In Not Working From

I recently purchased this card to use with my Playstation 3 via Optical In. After messing around with the settings on the PS3 I was able to get sound in the Playstation menu (the clicking sound when navigating the menu), but when I try to play a movie or a game, the sound will play for -2 seconds and then stop. I have tried all of the available audio format options on the Playstation and nothing hel

If anyone has any idea what the problem could be, a solution would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

X-fi xtreme audio option on windows 7

%x-fi xtreme audio option on windows 7? hello all members and staff from soundblaster.
i come here to find help about a situation i have steped on and is making me some lack.
i am using windows 7 and downloaded the latest drivers from soudblaster for my x-fi xtreme audio (non pci-e) and i noticed that an option enabled on other operating sistems is no longer avaiable.
this option was called the 'what you hear' and basicaly it captured by hardware all my computer sounds and allowed me to record them with no problems. with windows 7 i am not having this option anymore.
this option was very usefull for me since i was operating a small radio online for events on a 3d virtual city and that way i was able to send music and my voice over a stream to all members on that virtual city with excelent quality.
at this time, without that option, i dont know how to set up a good quality and due this issue i wish to know if this functionality of the soudcard will be avaiable again with windows 7.
i had this feature either with windows XP or vista.
with no further subjets, my thanks in advance for any help provided.

How to get WHAT U HEAR option for PCI Express X-Fi Titanium sound card and Windows 7

how to get WHAT U HEAR option for PCI Express X-Fi Titanium sound card and Windows 7 ? Is it on the basic driver? or do you have to install some other software?
jane

You have to install the rest of the software(s) for the sound card. The software is (if it is with the installation CD, though) called "Creative Smart Recorder" or something like that.

Sound Blaster PCI Express - No option for AUDIO CREATION mode.

I need help. ?I purchased another computer from Dell, with a Sound Blaster board just as I have done with three other computers. ?This makes four.
I ordered it with the Sound Blaster board because of the THREE MODES, Entertainment Mode, Gaming Mode, and Audio Creation Mode. ?The Audio Creation mode is really what I want because it allows to add reverb.
So when I get this latest Dell with the Sound Blaster card it is a
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express
The Volume control does not show the three modes. GAMING, ENTERTAINMENT, and AUDIO Creation. ?It only shows the ENTERTAINMENT mode.
So I thought perhaps those were enhancements that had to be installed from the Creative Sound Blaster CD that Dell provides. ?I put the CD in the dri've, and it goes into install mode and then when you start the install it says do you want to add additional software to which I answer YES.
Then it says install your CD in the CD dri've, which of course it is already in there. ?The CD looks funky. ?No scratches, it is new, but it has an uncharacteristic distortion on the data side so it is probably bad.
I download the drivers off the Creative site and it says, you have a newer version already installed on your computer.
I have called Dell 5 times over the course of 2.5 hours being disconnected all 5 times after speaking to people with extremely thick accents that know as much about computers as I know about brain surgery.
BOTTOM LINE
1.Does the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express have the ability to support the three modes: ?Entertainment, Gaming, and AUDIO CREATION.
If so, how do I get it to workHow do I get a new CD
2. If this card does not support the three modes, what card doesThe Sound Blaster cards in my other three Dells all support these three modes.
Thanks!
Doc from Las Vegas

No the Xtreme Audio doesn't not support the three modes, it only has Entertainment mode. Any X-Fi card that is not a Xtreme Audio does support the three modes.

Laptop Touchscreen does not function Windows 7 64 bit

I have owned several HP laptops over the years yet find HP's lack of support very troubling.
I purchased this laptop brand new in April 2014 and when I called HP Support the tech told me the warranty is expired!
I am currently very frustrated with the touchscreen and the outcome of this issue will make or break my future HP Purchases so I hope this can be resolved without great frustration.
I own an HP Pavilion Touch 14 Notebook PC Model #14-n028La and it came preinstalled with Windows 8. LIke most of the world I hate Windows 8 so I installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit. Everything worked without an issue EXCEPT for the Touchscreen. At the time there was a help forum article that explained what the issue was and which drivers were needed to resolve the Touchscreen issue and it worked perfectly. I can no longer find that HP Help Article and have recently re-installed Windows 7 64 bit. I have once again lost all Touch Screen functionality.
I need to know how to make the touchscreen work in Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit.

@Cleariati ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

No sound - no beats audio. dv7 notebook Windows 7 64 bit.

No sound - no beats audio. dv7 notebook PC-SER #2CE2012FSD, IDT High DEF Audio CODEC, Windows 7 64 bit, Product # A6X08UA#ABA. Need ASAP for school.Please help.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp58001-58500/sp58226.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
Regards,
DP-K
