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.

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 - 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?

  • 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 - 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?

    STILL HAVING?INTERMITTENT?SOUND PROBLEMS

  • 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.

  • How do I get the "What u Hear" back in the PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Aud

    When I right click on the recording the "what u hear" is no-where to be found, and is not present, is this fuction no-longer? available in the lastest PCI Express X-FI Xtreme Audio card in Vista? I can't seem to find it anywhere, it's not disabled or hidden it's just gone
    any help would be nice?

    I just found out that the "what u hear" function is not supported in the Creavti've Sound Blaster PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card
    however, I, was able to get this to work (here's what I did) for a work-around
    . I used a /8 stereo y-adapter and connected it to the speaker output, on the X-fi card,
    2. then used the on-board REALTEK sound cards imput jack,
    3. by doing this I now have the REALTEK Stereo Mix and the REALTEK line-in as the "what u hear" option, this will only work if you
    have an on-board sound card
    so now I can record everything I hear on my PC, streaming audio, ect. I hope this helps anyone who's bought this card and doesn't have the "what u hear" recording option as this function is NO LONGER supported by Creative...................here's what I got in my email form the Creative support team about this issue:

U should Check it on Creative Drivers Used For Xtreme Audio PCI Version And PCI-Express Version Is different, Daniel Pack Has only PCI versions....

  • 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.

  • Explain me something about X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express version

    @Explain me something about X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express version? Hello,
    I have a question about this card.
    I've received my pc week ago and as I didn't know what to take about sound card (contrary to other pieces) and I didn't want integreted one, so I took the X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express. I didn't want to fall intro trap of X-Fi Xtreme Audio (normal) which isn't an X-Fi one in fact... BUT according to Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster_X-Fi#X-Fi_Xtreme_Audio ) Apparently mine isn't an X-Fi too? It's just a CA00 chipset one which 7. support?
    With all the problems I have (sounds leave and come back without my intervention, or begin to be like headphone mode, you know, compressed sound), I would like an answer. This card is or isn't a "real" X-Fi sound card or it's just a poor Audigy?
    Or CA00 is enough good contrary to EMU20?
    Because the titanium one isn't so expensi've, I could go for it. (Yeah I'll ask to my sellor if I can give them back my sound card if I have too many problems!)

    D Oh yeah by the way, I'll make the most of this topic to ask you why it's possible to activate the bass settings on console launcher and not in the other application "Audio Sound Panel" (sorry for my english, mine is in french) and why I can't set the bass and treble like I did on my Audigy

  • SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express and XFX 9800GT graphics c

    Hi
    I have just bought a SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express card and looked at the motherboard where I have a XFX 9800GT graphics card installed and noticed the PCI-E slot where it attatches to the motherboard is right next to the graphics card and I am concerned it may cause air flow ventilation problems for the fan on the graphics card. The gap is about 2 mm.
    .Does anyone think think this may cause the graphics card problems?
    2. Is there an adapter/extention?lead that can be?connected to the PCI-E slot so I can attatch?the X-Fi Extreme card so I can move it away from the graphics card ?
    Any ideas on this much appreciated.
    Mack

    The only way your going to know the answer to is by measuring the cards tempds before and after installing the sound card.
    Graphic cards run with certain temp limits, and I guess there must be one for yours.
    No idea on 2...all google throws up is "PCI Express to PCI Adapter".
