Sooo..Vista x64 + PCIe X-Fi Titanium = No 5.1 thru SPIDF

Hello all,
I recently purchased this card in hopes of (and only real reason) connecting my ps3/360 to obtain 5. surround sound. I have searched thru the forums and it appears that decoding 5. thru the optical in is a no go (well at this time anyway). I can hear stereo sound which lets me know that it can decode something thru the optical in. Has anyone found a workaround for this? I know that there are modified drivers being worked on but I would like to find out why sell something that should be able to provide the said features.
Does anyone know if Creative is working on officials drivers or will we all have to rely on something else to use this feature?

No word from Creative, no workarounds, and I don't think anyone is working on modified drivers for this.
I doubt that Creative will add this feature in any new driver releases. My guess is that we won't see it, ever.

Vista x64 and PCIe X-Fi Titanium Optical Problems

I am running Vista x64 SP and I have the 2.7.0004 drivers installed and when I try to use Dolby Li've or DTS, I can't use because everything says the current device is in use. I can't get optical to work with my Z-5500 speakers. It works fine on my XP SP3 though. I have dual boot XP/Vista x64.

something else to check even tho you maby already have done is checking if the checkboxes for full controll of the SPDIF is on in windows 7 (I dont know anything about 2008 so cant comment on that) but i know that that 2 checkboxes need to be checked for the digital sound to pass trough to the analog 6 channel wich is needed for your speakers.
just to be clear were talking about the same checkboxes as im not sure how its called in english exactly.
in windows 7 in the lower right? rightclick ont eh speaker and select playback devices
then select SPDIF out and select properties.
then go to advanced and make sure both checkboxes under exclusi've mode are checked.
from my experience it also highly depends on what program you use as not all movie/mediaplayers decode the digital signal to 6 channel analog correctly.
i myself prefer classic media player and in that program i had to rightclick the screen select the audio options and set to to decode to speakers from spdif.
i not sure how exactly your setup is set up but i know figuring out how everything should be set or even finding some settings is a massi've pain.

Vista x64 and ASIO support - X-Fi titanium

Can anyone else verify that ASIO support for the X-Fi Titanium Fatalty card is not currently available for Vista x64? This appears to be the case, contrary to what the product marketing literature suggests.
Thanks.

Is there a walkaround for the Titanium, maybe with a older driver?
There are several walkarounds for XFI. I tried one with my driverpackage, but it didn't work.

Getting static audio with Titanium and Vista x64 at random times

@Getting static audio with Titanium and Vista x64 at random times$ I have had this card for about 6-8 months and relati'vely no issues.
I just upgraded to the latest drivers 270006 and now, sometimes after exiting Turbine's Lotro, my audio plays but is very static-y, but it doesn't happen all the time. I had iTunes minimized when playing Lotro and then went to play a song after exiting. I quit iTunes and tried it again and it was ok.
This also happened in Firefox, a YouTube video had the same static audio.
It doesn't happen all the time and I do play other games, but I haven't been playing much else right now.
So right now I don't know if it's a Lotro thing or just the drivers.
I have a Q9650, single GTX260, Asus P35 board (not SLI), Vista x64, 4GB.

Carl, do let us know on the Safe Mode test... would be the first thing I'd try with what you've mentioned, but yeah, daisy chained Hubs could possibly play into it.

Vista x64 SP2 Install Broke My Volume Panel

Hi,
As subject says.
I installed Vista x64 SP2 yesterday and now my microphone wont work because?in the control panel it says Microphone FP not connected.
This is obvious I dont have a front panel!
I used to change this in the Volume Panel and all would be well except now I have installed SP2 it wont let me load the volume panel.
It shows up in my task bar next to the clock and I can right click on it. It says Creative SB X-FI and I can select the Enable?DTS etc etc so the driver is installed ok but when I double click it to get the volume panel on screen nothing happens.
It doesnt even come up with an error.
I have tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling = nothing.
Then done an auto update, still nothing.
I hope someone can help, its really annoying not being able to talk to anyone over TS.
My specs are
Asus P5KE
Core 2 Quad Q6600
GeForce GTX260
4 x gb 066mhz memory
2 x WD Raptors RAID0
Soundblaster X-FI Titanium Fatalty PCI-E
Logitech Z5500 Digital Surround Sound
Vista x64 Ultimate
Thanks in advance

Excellent all fixed.
Not as easy as we thought though.
First had to uninstall everything via add remove programs.
Then deleted everything I could find that related to Creative.
I found stuff in Program Files / Program Data & Program Files (x86)
Unfortunately I couldnt delete it all because it was in use, so had to reboot in safe mode and delete it all from there.
Then installed the package you suggested and indeed Volume Panel and everything else works again.
Thank You

Bass Redirect in Vista x64 w/ XI-FI 2.13.0

Hi everyone,
My apologies if this question has already been answered (and often,) but I couldn't find it while searching.
Anyway, on my old PC with Windows XP (and then Vista) 32 bit, I was able to use my X-Fi's bass redirect function to spread out the bass over my front speakers. I've since moved my soundcard to a new PC featuring Windows Vista x64, and I can no longer find this feature.
Does anyone know if the latest Vista drivers (2.3.002) support bass redirect, and if so, how I might locate the feature?
My card is a Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Edition. Btw, I thankfully haven't experienced any other problems with the card / driver / OS combination. The card sits in an nForce 680i moBo and is situated in the lone PCI slot between the two PCI-E x6 slots.
Thanks,
Mark.

Hmm.. Very interesting. I'm downloading now (hopefully it will be finished by the time I arri've home from work -- it's a very sllllloooow download at 20 Kpbs.) Btw, does anyone know if this works on Vista x64 as well?
Mark.

Microphone stuttering - Vista x64 & Audigy 2 ZS

3Microphone stuttering - Vista x64 & Audigy 2 ZS? Hello,
since I've got no reply in the support pack thread, I post this new topic.
There is an issue with the microphone port of the Audigy 2 ZS running on Windows Vista 64-bit (SP2).
Voice input randomly begins to stutter after some uptime and only a restart of the computer temporarily fixes this problem - until the distortion occurs again.
I've tried many different driver versions (including the latest v2.8.000), but nothing changed. It seems only the 64-bit edition of Vista is affected by this.
At last an additional post, quoted from zan2828 in the support pack thread:
Daniel_K,
Being that you are extremely familiar with Creative's drivers, I figured it would be best to address my question to you.
Are you aware of the microphone robotic voice issue with the Audigy 2 in Vista? I use x64 so I am unsure if this problem exists in 32-bit. Basically, every so often the microphone will stop accepting voice inputs properly, and the resulting output will either be filled with static, or sound like a robot.
The problem exists in voice chat programs (Steam, Ventrilo) and also the Windows Sound Recorder. A reboot will fix it but the problem comes back. A quick "Reset to Defaults" in the Control Panel sound options will sometimes fix it, but not always.
Is there something you can modify in the driver to fix it's If not, do you know exactly what is wrong with the code? If you cannot fix it, hopefully Creative will, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
Thanks.

When using a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 series or X-Fi series sound card in a 64-bit Windows system with four gigabyte (4GB) RAM or more, various issues can be experienced. Often sound playback becomes jittery, choppy and noisy and recording fails to work. Sometimes you can record sound, but it's horribly noisy and scratchy. This happens with the latest 64-bit drivers for both product series, under Windows XP 64-bit, Vista 64-bit and Windows 7 RC 64-bit and other 64-bit Windows operating systems. The issue goes away if the computer can see only 32-bit amounts of RAM, as in 4GB of address space minus PCI addressing. On a 64-bit system with 4GB of RAM installed, disabling Memory Hole Remapping in the BIOS makes the issue go away, since there is no RAM amount above the memory hole address space. Consequently, disabling Memory Hole Remapping on a 64-bit system with more than 4GB of RAM does not solve the issue, since there is RAM above the 32-bit limit of address space. Many users have reported varying issues most likely relating to this, such as noisy input and output, corrupted audio and a complete loss of EAX and ALchemy functionality under all 64-bit Windows operating systems. Consider this report a collected issue observation for 64-bit Windows systems with more than 4GB of RAM installed and usable. This is a serious issue, affecting all 64-bit Windows systems. It is severely hurting customer trust and the Sound Blaster brand.

Windows 7 x64 and X-Fi Titanium oddness

'? I have a really odd problem with Win 7 x64. I have an X-Fi Titanium and installing the latest (from July of last year!?) drivers a) renders the front panel useless immediately and b) eventually causes the card to stop working. Really strange. The problem is, only the newest drivers work properly as I use sli. 2_7_0006 work perfectly, except for the static I get in some games when running with sli enabled.
I was previously running an XP/Vista x64 dual boot and the same driver (0007) worked fine with those setu
ps.
It's really odd how the driver doesn't stop working as soon as I install it - sometimes it takes a couple of hour, sometimes a day or two. I also sometimes get BSODs with the newest drivers installed - something that never happensthe 0006. I've tried fi've or six times and the result is always the same. Anyone have any ideas and/or run into the same thing? I've looked all over, but have never seen the same complaint.

Hi KEV-273,
This seems to be a generic installation error. Please install a random application to see if you are getting the same error message.

Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro in Vista x64: "Skipping" (Distortion) when record

Hi! I've just setup Vista x64 and installed the latest Drivers for my Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro. Besides the fact that there's no software available for convenient control of the features of my soundcard (Surround Mixer, Speaker Settings, THX Console etc.), everything is fine for playback (after adjusting the bass and treble-sliders to their 0dB-Position!). But I've got a massive problem when recording audio, or when using the microphone: I can play back sound from any source without distortion, but when recording it or using the microphone for VoIP-Applications like Skype, Teamspeak or In-game communication, I get a constant "skipping" distortion like the clicking when a CD is defective and skips.
It sounds like short disruptions which come at regular, very short intervals (approx. 0 per second or so). This effect is always present, irrespective of the load situation of the system and does not change with it. In XP32, my Audigy 2ZS still works like a charme. Furthermore, I've got a "PCI Input Device" in Device Manager with a question mark, although the Firewire-Port does work. Could this be the Gameport not beeing recognised But that's not nearly as problematic as the flaw from above... Thanks in advance for your advice!

I'd like to also add that I have been observing this same problem for quite some time now. While I do not frequently have a need to record, that is changing now and I would rather not have to reboot to Windows XP in order to have functional recording capabilities.
I am currently running a dual-boot configuration of Windows XP/SP2 and Windows Vista Ultimate 64-Bit/SP, with the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum soundcard, and the latest drivers available for the card as of today's date (0/7/2008).
A clip of audio to illustrate the problem may be heard by saving and playing the MP3 file found at http://ambress.com/audigy/audio_recording_fault.mp3. The following graphic also illustrates how the sound is like a series of recorded pulses, making recording completely useless.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback confirming this problem by Creative and what solution is available or when one is to be expected. If a solution is known by any users that perhaps I have missed in searching the forum, of course I'd be grateful for that help as well.
Thank you,
Daryl

NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT driver for Vista x64

Hello,
I have an issue with my new MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz 17" that was released on the 5th of June, 2007.
It has NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT installed on it and I simply cannot find Vista 64 bit drivers for it.
I have tried the latest beta Vista x64 drivers (163.11) downloaded from nVidia's official website. I have tried several previous versions including 100.97 one, which contains drivers for 8600M GT model. But they don't work with me. All the driver installation programs allert the following error and quit:
'The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit'.
I also tried Vista 32-bit drivers for 8600M GT. The driver installation program claims the operation system is wrong and quits.
Anybody has the same issue?
Does a working driver of nVidia GeForce 8600M GT for Vista x64 exist at all?
MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz Windows Vista nVidia GeForce 8600M GT

There was one Apple's presentstion where they boot into Windows Vista. So if you claim you can do it why do you forget about Vista x64 customers? I reckon it is because of Leopard that is coming. But it's not an excuse.
I'm currently working in Vista x64 and everything is fine except one thing, I cannot find a working graphics card driver and it is manufacturer's responsibility to provide it. Apple knew there going to be customers who will install Vista x64 on their computers and they at Apple didn't care about it because I guess it's a lame war between you know who.
So why you don't make everything perfect to attract even more Windows customers but instead you hint that you don't care about Vista x64 as you are getting your own 64-bit OS soon. So now they are forcing me to wait having been announced that I can use Vista. But isn't that kind of lame that it's slightly tardy? Why I should wait for Leopard launch if I was insured that Windows will work on my Macbook Pro? Because Apple claim you can run Windows. And don't say it's not official. Who else if not Apple made it possible to run Windows on Mac.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just angry that I cannot find a working driver.

ITunes will not work on Fresh INstall of Vista x64 SP1

I have a strange issue. I have a Windows Vista x64 with SP1 (Yes the DVD is a production DVD from Microsoft not a slip stream copy.) and I wanted to do a fresh install of Vista with SP1. Reinstalled OS and everything is running great but iTunes. When I start iTunes I get this error message about "mssip32.dll" being damaged or corrupt please reinstall the app. So I looked around good old Google and apple.com. I found several fixes about re-registering a set of dll files. So did them all, no change. Reinstalled Vista from scratch again, no change. So for the heck of it I reinstalled Vista with no SP1 installed and then applied SP1 and it works fine. I reinstalled Vista with SP1 and have been running it for over a week and everything on the system is tested and solid as a rock with no issues. The only program that will not work is iTunes. I have also tried all the way back to version 7.4 and no luck.
Any ideas on this?

Read this scary microsoft support article on windows updates?

Vista X64 Drive Management Snap-In Error with SD Cards

I have someone with an W700, 2752-3KG, running Vista X64, raid 1 configuration with factory image. The system also has a VM with XPP X86 in case it proves relevant.
Everything works like a dream, except for one thing which has got us completely stumped. When an SD card is inserted it is recognized as new hardware as expected. There is no autorun, i.e. Open folder / play music window, as this was disabled when the VM was set up. In drive management the SD card will be shown, but alas not assigned a drive letter. Any attempt to assign a drive letter results in the following message; (translated from German to English using translate.google.com)
"The operation could not be completed because the view
of the Disk Management snap-ins is not current. Refresh your view with the
update task. If the problem persists, close the Disk Management snap-in, and
then restart the Disk Management snap-in or the computer."
[Original screenshot attached 203KB]
The usual routine of updating / rolling back of drivers, uninstalling the hardware etc. etc has been tried to no avail.
The SD cards work fine on other TPs including W700s with Vista X64, X86 and XPP X86, they also work fine on this system when using an USB card reader
What hasn't been tried is running a recovery to another hdd. As the system is used daily this would mean blowing part of a weekend. And if a weekend is going to be partly blown, then I'd rather blow it completely and reinstall everything from scratch which would be a shame because, as previously stated, everything else is running 110%.
Has anyone experienced similar? Any ideas? I've searched MS thoroughly without finding anything
Thanks in advance

You may want to try a few different SD cards, there are apparently some which do not play well with Vista.
Personally I haven't had any issues with a 2GB SanDisk SD card running as ReadyBoost in an X61 under Vista Ultimate x64.
