Sound Blaster Tactic3D Wrath Wireless

Hello,
Seem to be having an issue with my headset, the Sound Blaster Tactic3D Wrath Wireless. I've had it wired up to charge now for that past 12 hours or so but decided to watch a movie whilst the headset was charging (Watching the movie with the Headset on giving me sound). Now the Headset has cut out and every time i press the power button, it comes back on for a few seconds then cuts out again.
Anyone got any ideas on what the problem is?
Regards,
Gerard

Just discharge it and then charge it. Should work then, and never ever try those firmware updates they are the terrorists of these headsets

Creative Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless crackling sound

Tactic3D Rage Wireless crackling sound all the time when playing any sound on the headset.
Work OK on laptop and other PC in the home. Just not my PC lol. Motherboard: Zotac H55-ITX Wifi. CPU Intel i3.

Pauleley,
Welcome to the forum!
Sounds like an "interference" issue to me. Definitely not an issue with the headset as it is working perfectly fine on another machine. The transmitter operates in the 2.4Ghz frequency spectrum so you might want to check out what other devices runs on the same spectrum near to your computer (just a thought).

Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless Firmware update fail

Hey guys,
As the title says, I have a bit of a problem. I just bought the Tactic3d Rage Wireless headset, and decided to update the firmware as I like to have the latest drivers when I get started on new hardware. So I update the transmitter while the headset was turned off. No problem.
Then when it came to the headset I removed the transmitter and plugged the headset directly to the computer and started the appropriate application. At the end of the upgrade it said it failed to load the system after the new drivers was installed or something similar, and now it's just there flashing blue all the time. It doesn't respond to anything, and if I try upgrading the firmware again it says it can't find the headset.
So I'm wondering A) Did I do something wrog here? and B) How do I fix it? Is there a way to restore the factory settings of the headset somehow?
Please help! Thank you in advance.

Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless - Driver and Firmware update, now it's frozen?????????

Just recieved my headphones yesterday - plugged it in and charged it = works. I then decided to download the newest drivers and firmware and went straight to bed. This afternoon, suddenly no sound is detected, what so ever! The USB Power LED flashes slowly and a constant red glow is showing at my headphones.. When I try to re-pair it, the USB Power LED flashes rapidly as it should, but neither the Mic Mute button, nor the Connect Button on the headphones responds.. It feels like the headset is simply just frozen right after the new driver/firmware installation.
I've tried everything pretty much.. Went from Wireless to USB to see if that helped, but it didnt. Tried to remove / setback the drivers, still dosn't work. Headphones is just completely frozen with no buttons working and a constant red glowing light - can't be turned off or restarted!!!
WHAT TO DO?!?
Cheers,
Alexander

My headphones just ran out of power during the day = it resetted itself. I then connected it again and re-paired it. Atm it's working perfectly fine again. I will now try to reinstall the Control Panel, not the driver though, hopefully it will work this time and wont make the headphones go into "non-responding-retarded-mode" once again :-)
Conclusion: For me it felt like it was either the Drivers or the Firmware update, maybe both, which made my headphones "crash", or atleast not respond to any command / buttons pushed. If anyone faces the same or similar problems as me, due to installation of drivers/firmware, let your headset run out of power (if you as me, don't know how to remove the battery manually) and just reconnect it :-) Should work then.

Sound Blaster Tactic3D Omega Wireless PS3 issue

I don't know if I am the only one who is having this issue, but the headphones works fine on PS3 EXCEPT some games like God of War, Evil Within, Journey, Wolfstein, Sniper Elite 3 , what the hell !!! these games support Dolby Digital 5.1 but there is no sound on my headphones
Does anyone here know the solution for this, I am aware that this headphones doesn't support DTS which I wasn't aware about when I first bought the headphones , or AC3 audio format when I play videos on my PS3 , But hey DTS does work on PC which I can't find explanation for this

Hi Eyadisho,
Check out this article on Creative's support site. Maybe you can try to select Linear PCM 2 Ch. 44.1 kHz and Linear PCM 2 Ch. 48 kHz output for audio as stated in the article.

Sound Blaster Tactic 3D Wireless

Hello forummembers,
I have my Tactic 3D Wireless for a couple of months and i really enjoy it, but now i have a problem
As soon as i want to charge it trough my Laptop (usb) it doesnt work anymore. I plug in the cable into the headphone and the power button stops blinking, but after +/- 3 sec it start blinking again and hear the 'empty battery' tone again. So i assume it isn't charging. Everything is plugged in corectly when this happens and i tried multiple usb ports in my laptop.
Somebody know whats going on?
Greetings,
Miles

Sound Blaster Tactic3d alpha problems

Hi, i have some problems with installing Sound Blaster Tactic3d alpha drivers.
First is that i don't have pannel after installing drivers and second one is that my microphone is muted. Can someone help me ?
*EDIT*
Problems fixed (downloaded and installed this : http://www.userdrivers.com/Sound-Card/Creative-Sound-Blaster-Tactic3D-Alpha-Pack--0-000-for-Windo... ), but now control pannel is freezing on pop up.

This could be caused by residual files from previous installation. It would advisable to uninstall and reinstall the package with a clean boot of your system. This article may help.

New beta firmwares available for Sound Blaster Tactic3D Alpha & Sigma - 21st Jan 2011

First of all, Using the link prvided doesn't work it just won't find the firmware.
Second, when I do it manually I get to a link for may snap crackle pop-Sigma and I download it.
BUT...
The link states the firmware should be 538,64 KB, but when I download it I get something that is 05 KB.
And it's NOT a Win32 program...
Is Creative doing this to see if they can annoy their customers or what.
THANK GOD that I don't have anyone responsible here att this moment.
BTW, I have been in contact with Creatives support and since they assume that everybody using their products doesn't know **bleep** about computers, I will probably not get anywhere with my crappy Sigma headphones until Jesus is reborn or something.
**bleep** I'm angry now.

Sound Blaster Sigma config

Hi all....
I have a simple, and probably stupid, question.....
I bought a Sound Blaster Sigma headset some days ago and still have a sound blaster X-Fi Extreme Music sound card.....
To have the better 360° 3D audio, have I to use the X-Fi sound card or the USB sound card that comes with the headphones? Which is better (not only in terms of audio quality, but specifically for 3D gaming audio)?
Hope that the X-Fi is good too......hope it's better also....
Sorry for my english....
Thx in advice for the answers....

The following is the responses I have received from Creative customer support regarding the THX controller software NOT working (the controller software just hangs) with my X-fi Platinum. I am very confused by the contradicting responses help please!
Detailed Problem Description:
Ok I have installed the Alpha/Sigma software and the cotrol panel just hangs when it opens. I uninstalled, reinstalled in safe mode, restarted, ran update with the same results . . . WTF these are sold as high-eng! I have been in tech support, I am a Intel Product Dealer, and a MS System builder for years. Windows 7 prem 64, Creative SB X-FI Titanium . . . seems like the head set should work with this. Please help...
Thank you for contacting Creative Technical Support.
Are you connecting the headset thru the 3.5mm plug or USB connection?
If using the USB headset connection, please note that you won't be able to use it with the X-fi Titanium soundcard.
Please follow the steps carefully below when installing Sound Blaster Tactic3D Sigma in your Windows 7 computer.

Thank you for answering,
I can use the mini jacks but not the features I bought the headset for? The mini jack functioning of this headset seem no better than any $25 headset . . . and I have spent years plugged in in recording studios.
So the features of this headset are not available if I am using your High-end soundcard?!?!?!?!? How is this possible?!?!?!? And why does the box not say this???? Now that I have spent hundreds of dollars on your soundcard and nearly another $100 on your headphones I am just out of luck!!!???
I think this needs a website of its own. What am I to do with this useless waste of money at this point?
So, please, tell me what I am to do?
And please send me contact information for the marketing product leads for both of these products!
Awaiting a reasonable answer,
Thank you for writing to Creative Technical Support.
Please note that when in USB connection, USB devices such as your SB Tactic3D Sigma Headset will create its own USB Audio Device and it will bypass the onboard sound card and the X-fi Titanium card.
Make sure that the headset is properly detected in Device Manager and selected as the default playback and recording device.
When using the mini-jack, please ensure that the X-fi Titanium card is selected as the default playback and recording device.
Thank you for your patience and understanding on this matter.

Sound Blaster Rage VoiceFX Test button not working

I purchased my creative sound blaster Tactic3D Rage headphones today and so far I am really happy with them. The only thing that bugs me is that the test button for VoiceFX in the control panel doesn't seem to work. I press it and talk through the mic, but nothing happens. I know the VoiceFX works because I tested it out through Skype test call. Only the test button in the control panel doesn't seem to work

If you have not updated your headset's firmware you may want to give it a try as well.
I can now confirm what the problem is. After reformatting my whole operating system I was indeed able to get the software to work properly again, however after a windows update the software will not work properly again. Confirmed same thing about the windows update on my other pc as well and the only way to get it to start working again to to do a system restore point before the last update.
I am sorry but this is unexceptionable! So I have to stay on an old version of windows in order to use this product...
I want a full refund please.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Notebook Express Card and Wireless Recei

I?purchased a Creative Wireless Recei'ver and a Sound Blaster X-Fi Notebook Express Card. At the risk of removing any doubt that I am an idiot, what is the purpose of the square piece of stretchy black material? It was nicely packaged, but I don't know what I'm to do with it. It's about 4 inches square and stretchy, like spandex. I sent an email to Customer Service. They have no clue and advised me to call Direct Sales. They don't know what the purpose of the cloth is either. Any ideas?

Ok guys this is how I fixed the problem on my X-Fi PCI-Express. Open the Creative SB X-Fi Volume panel. Mine is set in game mode and I have 5 vertical sliders for Line-In /Mic, MIDI Synth, Digital-In, and the last one will say one of three things either Digital-In, Microphone, or Mirophone FP. At the top of the?slider there is a tab which brings up a drop down menu. Mine was default set to Digital-In, I switched it to Mirophone FP (tried Microphone first and it worked but the FP sounds better for me) and cranked it all the way up and my problem was solved. Very frustrating one though as there is no documentation that led me to the fix it was just playing around with it till I could figure it out.
I hope this at least helps some of you out.

SB04100 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuild

=SB0400 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuildZ I did a full disk format and reinstall for a friend on a Dimension 3000, running XP SP3. There is no sound at all. Speakers are good, tested on another system. Model number on the back of the sound card is SB0400, so I assume this is an older 24 bit PCI SoundBlaster card. Although I reinstalled all drivers from Dell, I found no drivers for this. The Creative site has no listing for this model.
Computer does not seem to recognize the card. Have not opened the box yet but I assume if I were to remove and then reinstall the card it would be recognized (?) I then have to find an SB0400 driver.
Does anyone know where I can find an SB0400 driver ? Does the strategy of pulling and reinstalling the card make sense ? (I have really avoided tampering with any of the hardware on this box -- since it is not mine.)

Re: SB0400 Sound Blaster Card not working after computer rebuild? Thanks much for your response. Problem solved for now. I removed the board and then reinserted it, after which I was able to download the drivers directly. Some of my difficulty with this whole process has been ) I didn't know there was no working speaker in the computer and 2) I apparently misunderstood the BIOS settings for this. I re-set it up as an add-on board during the troubleshooting process. After loading the driver, I went back to the original setting (don't recall what it was but it was for integrated sound). The setting for integrated sound works fine, with external speakers and the new 24 bit driver. Still some noise (popping and static) but this board shares the bus with 2 other cards one of which is a wireless network card. May be a PCI latency issue but I'm reluctant to change that because the network card is a bit shaky anyway.
Everything works for now -- I'll be glad to get this particular computer out of my house !
