Sound Blaster Internal 16 Pre-Amp PCI 5.1 NEED DRIVERS!!!

i've been looking for the drivers for this sound card for hours and i can't find any that will work, im running windows xp home

Creative did NOT alter the anything in the drivers package so there is no updated ini file or recompression. They didn't even bother replacing the included version of ALchemy with the latest version available for EVO headset users. The only thing that is updated is the release date on the product support page.

  • 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.

  • Optical Input on Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E with Logitech z-5

    So i plugged in my Optical cord into my new sound card the Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E and it worked only in the Front right, Front left, Front centre, and the subwoofer. Now i hear i need a external decoder... but then again that my sound card should decode it as well... the place i bought my card recemended a optical cord for my card?with the?speakers i have?(the?Logitech Z-5500) How much are decoders? What should i do next? Creative seams to have limited support especialy on optical inputs.

    I must have answered something like that in another thread sometime ago, but here goes:
    A single SPDIF connection, optical or coaxial, will only transfer stereo in analog form; no rear or centre channels!
    There are two ways you can get all speakers playing via such a connection:
    () Get your speakers to upmix the audio source to play on all fi've of them
    (2) Output a Dolby Digital (AC3) or DTS signal. These contain the multichannel information encoded in the stereo signal. A suitable decoder (such as the one contained in the Z-5500) will be able to analyze the signal. Unfortunately, this is something you can mostly find in movies.
    So, to sum it up, no natural everyday multichannel sound over one SPDIF (e.g. no EAX, directsound3d etc.)

  • Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI-Express) + Vista 32bit an media pla

    Hi folks,Maybe someone here can help me with this issue, I recently bought a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7. Sound Card - OEM (PCI-Express), it arri'ved with the cd with software and drivers on it and i installed it into my vista 32bit without any problems.On rebooting my sound was working normally and as far as i could tell all was great untill that is i went to play some mp3 using windows media player, wmp kept telling me it couldnt play the file type then i tried to play a wma file an got the same thing, basically almost all audio types will no longer play in wmp. I rolled back the driver to use the microsoft driver (high defination audio device) and everything is playing in media player again.Only now i cant use the software suppiled with the card. Anyone have any idea how to use the creative driver and get wmp to play properly thanks in advance.
    (in addition) after some messing around with various settings i discovered that this seems to be caused by the sb enhancements, when i disable them in speaker properties wmp plays as it should, althought i am rather disappointed that i have to disable the features on the card inorder to get it to work properly.

    There are not now and never will be drivers for that card, it is just too old. The only way to get working drivers for it is to use either this,

  • Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Expr

    hi all?i was wondering if people could let me know how the drivers for the below card?http://uk.europe.creative.com/produc...9&product=6770?are on xp and vista? i have an auidgy 2 zs plat atm but when i have it in my pci slot it gets too close to my ati HD 3870 card? by inches! which is causing it to get very hot. is it worth me upgrading to this card?would like to know anything and everything about how this card runs on xp and vista if some could help me out would be grateful?cheers

    How it connects to the motherboard has nothing to do with it, the Xtreme Audio is still inferior to the Audigy 2 ZS in every way. The card is still a purely software dri'ven card, and if anything will cause performance loss due in games to having to process all game sounds/affects in software (processing is done by the cpu, not the sound card). Also the Xtreme Audio only supports up to EAX4; but guess what, so does your 2 ZS, only difference is your 2 ZS does the processing in hardware on the card.
    Another point is your 2 ZS supports OpenAL nati'vely in hardware, and the Xtreme Audio had OpenAL support added recently in a driver update. Only difference is again, it is all done in software.

  • Sound Blaster Live 24-bit is PCI-X compila

    Will the SB Li've 24-bit work in PCI-X slot?
    From picture I can see that PCI connector on SB Li've card have two keys
    and looks like it supports 3,3 V PCI bus (two keys usually mean Uni'versal PCI device).
    Does someone know it for sure?
    I read some threads where were thoughts that SB still needs 5 V PCI bus.

  • Need Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-express Windows XP dri

    Hi
    It seems that I can't find any drivers for my X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express card anywhere.
    It's deeply frustrating as I can't use my audio card to anything without the proper drivers and software(the audio console).
    Is there any way of getting these drivers / software?
    Thanks in advance

  • Sound Blaster Live 24-bit PCI Sound Card and Creative Sound Blaster PCI Card not detect

    Ok here is my problem. I bought a Creative Sound Blaster PCI sound card a while back and it was working fine but recently when I would boot up my computer and try to play music say off of Winamp it says Bad DirectSound Driver. When I check device manager it shows no sound card there and in sounds and audio devices it says no audio device. Now my brother believed this to be a card fault so we went to Frys and bought a Sound Blaster Li've 24-bit PCI card. I uninstalled the old drivers and installed this new one but yet it's the same problem. My assumption was that Windows XP had something conflicting so I reinstalled the OS. It found the card and I installed the latest drivers?off of this site but now it does the same thing yet again with a fresh install of Windows XP. The card has been in all 3 of my PCI slots and it will detect it for a moment but then acts like as if the card was never installed. Like I never installed a sound card into the computer. The onboard audio has been disabled for a while now but I do not know what the problem could be. I did Scan for hardware changes but it doesn't show up. Sometimes when the card is detected if I do scan for hardware changes and the card is there it will just magically disappear from the device manager as if it was never there. Even when I try to load music and I see the card is detected it will not play the music and ends up locking up Winamp to the point that sometimes will go BSOD. Now I would really like to find out what the issue is because I am planning this weekend to swap out my motherboard with a duplicate board to see if that will end up fixing the problem but I want to find out if there is any other way to fix this issue. Thank you.Message Edited by AuXoIs on 02-25-200808:28 PM

    Hmm what other options is there for the bios on PCI slots?Also anything you connect to the motherboard can have oxidization (I think its that) build up on the connection. Check the connector on the card and get a eraser (Pen eraser is better) and give it a good cleaning. The connector might have alot of build-up on it and you can see it by a dark yellowy colour. I cleaned my graphics card and ram connectors after they got alot of the build-up on them. On a older computer my graphics stopped working and this fixed it. Also I went away for a while (like a month) and came back to see that my puter didn't display anything. Opened it up and saw that the graphic card had alot of corrosion? on the card connector and in the slot. Does that if you computer is turned of for a long time. Had a heck of time trying to clean the slot out. One other thing that it could be is the sound card is faulty. I had an audigy 2 and it died a while back . It picks it up and then try and use it computer freezes and the after restart it's not there anymore. Hope it's not that problem. Hope this gives you something to go by.

  • 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.

  • Sound Blaster Card, POST ERR

    When I installed my sound blaster fatality extreme gamer pro series. In my M2R32-MVP Motherboard, with AMD 580x chipset, it fails post, when I put it in another computer it works fine. When I put a SOund Blaster Audigy2 in the motherboard PCI slot, it works fine. but the Fatality card will not pass post, I cant figure out if the sound card is not compaitable with the chipset or not. The PCI slots are working, but this card isnt working in them.

    Hi Herb,I am having the same problem as you . I am unabe to use the headphone jacks in the front of the dri've. The card doesn't recognize it. Have you found anything that can solve htis yet.sam2:smileysurprised:
