Sound Blaster Titanium Champion Series

&?Hello,
I recently bought a Sound Blaster Fatality Titanium Champion series cound (the one with the front panel included).
Sound and everything seems fine. One very annoying issue (not for me but mainly for the other people who are listening to me on Ventrilo) is that they hear a constant "buzzing" noise when I speak. I can't seem to get rid of it.
It was actually worse before as I was able to hear the constant buzzing too. Until I unplugged the mic and audio jack from the back sound card and plugged it into the front panel instead.
I also updated to the latest drivers as far as I can tell.
Any idea on how to fix this?
I am using a Sennheiser PC360 Headset. I don't believe it is the headset's issue, it works fine on my other systems without the constant buzzing.
Many thanks in advance.

Eljher,

X-Fi Titanium Champion Series I/O Drive problems

0X-Fi Titanium Champion Series I/O Dri've problems? This is my final attempt to resolving this before?I request an RMA. I'm really hoping someone can help me figure out if my I/O dri've on my x-fi titanium Ch. Series is defecti've or it's a?software related problem. I don't get any sound from the headphone or mic jacks on the front dri've using headphones or headsets. The volume knob does?lower or raise in the Console Launcher?when I turn it and?as for the mic volume, I'm not sure. The LED's don't?light up at all, but if I press the Game Mode, CMSS-3D or Crystalizer I see them switching on the Console Launcher. The rear component does work as I can connect my speakers and get sound. I'm running Vista x64 Ult. Sp2 with the latest beta drivers 2.8 from daniel_K's support pack. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times also removed and replugged the device incase of a connection problem. I've searched all over these forums and googled several keywords and can't find a solution. Can anyone point me to the right direction? Is this a common problem with the front dri've? I've read various posts about customer technical support being useless so I'm not even wasting my time with that. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

I had this exact same problem for a very long time, but after recently taking apart my machine to dust it out and whatnot I decided to have a go at plugging the device in again, and found that in order to plug it in properly for that larger connector you have to push it in really hard for it to go in all the way, to the point where it hurt my finger to do so. But after I did this (I had the card out while doing it, as it seemed impossible to get the connector in all the way otherwise) the lights and ports worked properly.
Hopefully it's this simple for you, but I can imagine it is due to the fact your problem was word for word exactly the same as mine.

Problem with console launcher and Titanium Champion Series

Hi all. I've recently got a X-Fi Titanium Fatality Champion Series, it's running on XP. As you know with the original drivers the I/O front panel didn?t work on XP, so I updated to the latest version 2.7.8. The problem is that now the I/O front panel seems to work, but the console launcher has been updated too to the 2.6.1.45 version and it's not working properly, when previously it was. I?ve detected two problems:
1) You can enable the equalizer on any mode but the list of presets (rock, pop, jazz...) don?t appear
2) The console launcher crashes in the very moment you click on the Mixer thumb index, at least in Game mode, appearing an error message
I would thank any help. Bye.

Well, given I've still not received an answer, I think this may help somebody with the same problem.
I decided to install the Console Launcher 2.6.1.49 (beta) and it's working perfect so far, the two problems I told about have been fixed.
Another problem I had with the latest official drivers was that the volume panel wasn't shown at the taskbar. I simply fixed it by installing the original volume panel you can find in the installation CD.
Bye.

X-Fi Titanium Champion Series VS. Online Karaoke

I have recently acquired the X-Fi Tatinium and sastified with the sounds it provides from my Karaoke mixer through Aux In and out to my Intergra receiver. The issue I have is when join Paltalk online Karaoke it sounds half as good as playing it local.
There are people in the online Karaoke room sound way clearer then me, when asked they said they have Creative sound blaster too. I have been messing with the sounds for the past 3 days to see it could be improved but no luck. Your suggestions are welcome.

Some more details would be nice - i had to search about what Paltalk online Karaoke even is. Still i don't know which OS (XP, Vista, 7 - x32/x64), which drivers (<a title="current latest beta" target="_self" href="http://support.creative.com/Downloads/searchdownloads.aspx?filename=SBXF_PCDRVBETA_US_2_ 18_0015A.exe">current latest beta[/url] or any Daniel_K- e.g. Pax- pack), which browser (that might be important on such a topic) etc. you have.

Sound blaster audigy ls series MIC NOT WORKING

Dominic,
Sorry to ask the obvious, but have you checked that you have microphone unmuted in the Creative mixer, the volume is set high, and that the REC source is either WhatUHear or Microphone? You didn't mention your operating system, but assuming XP, in Control Panel, Sound and Audio Devices, Audio tab, is your Audigy the default recording device? And while you're there, see if the box next to "Use Only Default Devices" is selected. If not, you might want to consider putting a check mark in it.

Sound Blaster Titanium HD Stops Working...

I was watching a movie yesterday and after a reboot my sound card has apparently died. I have installed the latest drivers for my card the xi-fi Titanium HD. Anything I have played or done on the windows tests is awful it cuts in and out and full of static. The only way I can actually get any type of sound is if I turn the volume up all the way up. I do the windows test for the sound card in control panel where you can see a list of your sound devices. The soundcard volume is weak even when turned up I don't get any type of windows sounds unless everything is up on max and im playing some type of sound at a very high volume. Even then its low volume and awful quality. I don't understand what could have happened between a reboot to where the card is broken. I didn't have the latest drivers when this happened it was only because of this error that I did the first thing and checked for new drivers there were newer "drivers." I installed them and still have the same problem. Ive reverted back to my old drivers but it didn't work. I've also tried system restore a few times to when the sound worked and nothing still the same problems. Ive also tried using driver sweeper in between installs. I changed pci-e slots but still have the same problems with my sound card. I'm out of ideas here... I love this Soundcard and had no problems with windows 7 64 bit before and after service pack till now... I don't want to see this 80 dollar sound card go to waste. I'm extremely frustrated that i'm now having the same type of problems that I did with the original titanium with windows 7 64 bit support now the "windows 7/vista nati've card" is giving me problems. I really don't want to go back to the on-board sound on my motherboard.... I cant believe this card can break so soon after purchase. I bought it at best buy and its been more then the return policy. Its probably been around 90 days since I bought it. I have windows 7 64 bit with service pack . Any Ideas? I'm about to rip it out and beat it with a hammer.

Hi,
Sorry about that, you might want to test the sound card on another computer. That should tell you if the sound card is faulty or not. Our Customer Support is available through email, please write to them, they will be able to help you with the replacement.

Bugged drivers 2.40.0008 Sound Blaster Titanium xfi pcie

Hello guys,
after several attempts i can assume that the new drivers 2.40.0008 for my Titanium xfi pcie cause bugged audio in Broken Sword 5. If i go back to 2.17.0008 everything works fine. My system has win 7 sp1 x64.. i've tried also formatting my pc and the problem is still there! What's the problem with this new 2.40.0008?
I wrote Revolution Software about the bug but they didn't gave me any solution!
The game starts and the audio is ok but every time a dialog begins i've to click mouse button to go on whilest with 2.17.0008 this problem is not present...
Thanks so much

Install latest OpenAL or use alternative OpenAL driver:

kcat.strangesoft.net/openal-soft-1.16.0-bin.zip

UAU thanks so much....
i spent my entire afternoon trying different solutions to replace OpenAl drivers....I tried to intall the one from previous drivers (2.17.0008) but it didn't work (so i assume that the incompatibility is with the new drivers 2.40.0008 because openal drivers are the same 2.1.0.0 in both packages).
I wanted to replace the drivers in windows/system32 dir and after several attempts i used the drivers you suggested me and follow this guide:
Windows instructions:
System wide:
For windows, your alsoft.ini is %AppData%\alsoft.ini. Edit this file (or create it) and add:
hrtf = true
Chances are however, your OpenAL is slightly out of date. No worries though, easy to add in.
Download and unzip this file.
On 32-bit Windows: Copy Win32/soft_oal.dll over C:\Windows\System32\OpenAL32.dll
On 64-bit Windows: Copy Win64/soft_oal.dll over C:\Windows\System32\OpenAL32.dll (Yes I know. The naming was their idea, but it really is the 64-bit dll). Then copy Win32/soft_oal.dll over C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OpenAL32.dll (That's the 32-bit one. Confusing enough yet?)
I still don't find alsoft.ini file and i don't understand where to create it but nevermind....each game (BS5 retail and Book of unwritten tales) runs perfect now!!
Thank you very very much magg

Soundblaster Titanium Champion Series

% I have installed this product three different times, i have disabled all on board audio devices. i get the following message when i try to open the console;
the current selected audio device is not supported by the application. do you want to select another audio device now. i have installed the latest drivers from the website but still no luck, please help!

)? Upon installing my X-FI Titanium, both Vista and Vista 64 install a very basic "High Definition Multimedia controller" name and driver that does indeed give you sound. What I did was run the driver install from CD and only the driver nothing else. Then the proper Creative driver is listed in your control panel and you can install and use any new updates you wish. If you install the Daniel k 2.0 support pack here........http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&thread.id=425. it does it for you, as well as install a beter, tweaked and more compatible set of applications for your system. After installing Daniel K's pack you can "overlay" or install any newer Creative updates after and this works best for me, where I install 2.0 support pack, then the newest Console launcher update from Creative and lastly, their newest driver which works great for me with the above named applications.

X-Fi Titanium Champion Series. Folloup, Turns OUT STATIC NOT CREATIVES FA

Well I came on and posted a couple of threads. One was about the four new cards I had purchased (All new Titanium PCI-E Cards) which had redicules amount of static in everything. Some examples:
.) Explosions in games huge static
2.) Watching videos online and scrolling up and down caused static
3.) General Windows Audio Static
Im not 00% which resolved it. Firstly I have the Asus Striker II Extreme Motherboards, Upgraded to the 03 series Bios, and the new September set of nforce/geforce/ntools drivers for the 9800 GX2s. After reinstalling windows, the static was gone. Previously I had static at this point. However once I installed the ACPI update from windows update, the static returned. Reinstalled windows and didnt install this one update and statics gone.
Im using the Drivers right off the cd, turns out "This isnt the fault of Creative Labs". I was trolling them before blaming them stating its the first Creative Card Ive used thats ever given me problems, now I know I trolled the wrong guy and creative as always does maintain and make an awesome product

Its interesting really, the SupremeFX II in the same PCI-E slot doesnt get any static. Ive had to remove the Titanium PCI-E and use the onboard to stop static when using SLI.
I use to get static with SLI off but it looks like the most recent BIOS from asus along with all the latest drivers from nvidia seemed to fix this however in SLI the problem still exists
I dont feel as though this is creatives problem is the non sli static was fixed with nvidia drivers

Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum + What You Hear

Hi All,
I'm looking into picking up a Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum or the X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion Series card... However after recent frustration loosing the "What U Hear" option on a old Audigy SE running under Windows Vista, I am a little unsure!
My question is: Do the X-Fi Platinum or Fatalty Champion Series cards have the "What U Hear" recording option like it did with previous older Creative cards? *I am now back using Windows XP*
Also, are the 2 mentioned X-Fi cards much cop when it comes to music production?
Many thanks

Well looking over [url="http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/multimedia/display/creative-soundblaster-xfi.html">here[/url]?you see the Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Sound Card Family Review.
Note...[*]ASIO 2.0 support at 6-bit/44.kHz, 6-bit/48kHz, 24-bit/44.kHz 24-bit/48kHz and 24-bit/96kHz with direct monitoring.<?
ASIO 2.0 seems a different ball game all together.
We know that not all those card will NOT give you What U hear in Vista, so I think it's bad to get the terms confused.
You can find the same on some USB eternals as well, and I've yet to see one than that can do mix (What U hear)
I?suggested to?creative in another thread if they could supply this information rather than let someone buy the card to find out it doesn't.
Worth noting that creative have stated what cards can do What U hear in Vista tho.
The What U Hear recording option is supported in Windows Vista for Sound Blaster X-Fi series (Excluding Extreme Audio series) and Sound Blaster Audigy series (excluding Sound Blaster Audigy LE, SE, and Audigy Value).
Some of those card will with older drivers though.
This whole Stereo mix thing has become a total sham, and is not provided on most new laptops with vista and creatives external solution ( X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook) doesn't give it in Vista but it does XP but you CANNOT do voice over music with it as you have mic control and it mutes the mic.
I suppose it depends what we use mix for though....some people just want it to record from the web, so they are not bothered about the mic, but if you want to do voice over music (karaoke or DJ) it's no good.
I could give you a link to a forum where people are cursing the lack of mix, and I can see it getting worse as people get new PCs with Vista on.
Sorry I went off topic, but I needed a vent over this as I often get asked by people "what should I buy" and I can't find the answers!
Come on Creative!!!!![/list]

"No Sound Blaster card detected.." and other driver problem SOLUTION

Hi. I promised to myself that I wont give up and I looked for a solution to all SB Li've! 5. OEM (0220 and others) problem not detecting the card by the new drivers ! AND HERE IT IS !! I tested it and works almost PERFECTLY !!! Also for peaple who HAVE the original drivers but have problem with EAX in such games like GTA San Andreas THIS IS THE SOLUTION FOR YOU !! I hope creative doesn't mind me posting this:http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/Enter here and download the drivers !! TRY IT !! Any questions please write ! Sory but i think this is important inough to start a new topic.. Hell yeah now I can play San Andreas even when it's raining (in game ofkozz :P) ... Oh and PS. For Win XP users read this first : http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/xp.php?language=en I used the second method (on the bottom of the page) Renaming the files and installing normally. You will be asked to insert the winXP CD couse it wont be able to find some files but you can just SEARCH for them on the system and you can find them (In c:\windows\system32 and system32\drivers). Then after reboot you go to Device Manager and update drivers for Sound Blaster Li've Series (or Multimedia audio device) mark "Don't look for drivers.." And choose KX from the list. Thats all I thinkPs 2 - set the mixer for your card couse basically it's set for 5. dolby surround. If you have 2 Speakers or headphones do this: run the KX mixer (tray) and click Speaker setting (the icon with "?") set it to 2. and in Surround set COPY. Then mark the "Use subwoofer output" and "Use bass redirection". Everything should work well. There I think I helped :PMessage Edited by Cubix on 07-09-2005 08:26 PM

Gee, I think it's catching on. I was VERY dissapointed when I wasted my money on the SB Li've! 24bit PCI. That card apparently isn't a Li've! card, it's got a different chipset. It performs horribly with games and there are no other drivers to use for it. Not even the Audigy 2 hack and the kX audo project will work with it. This is like the **bleep** child of all Sound Blasters. No support, no reasonable performance, and horrible drivers. I just joined this forum today and this is the 5th topic related to SB Li've! 24 bit issues that I've seen yet. And what does creative take into initiati've about it's Nothing. They ignore us and expect us to pay 20+ dollars US on an Audigy 2 ZS.Message Edited by BoRaiChu on -03-2005 07:33 PM

Can not detect Sound Blaster Audigy 2 on this sys

Im having trouble install drivers (apart from the old CD ones and some out of date ones) all the latest drivers or beta drivers say they cannot detect my card. I have an Sound Blaster Audigy 2 OEM which i bought nearly 2 years ago. I've tried swapping it to a different pci slot but makes no different Constant crashes when playing openal games. Even if i install the lates openal file. But i need to find out why i can't install the newest drivers and why they say i haven't got an audigy 2 when i have. In my device manger even says that its an "Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM)" My system is as follows...
Windows XP Proffesional SP2 32Bit
P4 3.0ghz
.25Gb DDR 400 Ram
Geforce 6800 Ultra 256Mb
Asustek P4P800-E Deluxe Motherboard
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 OEM
PCTV Rave TV card
Please some one help me, it will be greatly appreciated. If you need anymore info please let me know ( i may uninstall and remove the tv card just to get it off my list of perhaps the audio part of the tv card could be interfering ?)Message Edited by Alexia on -2-2005 :52 PM

I am getting the exact same problem. Just downloaded the "Creative Sound Blaster Audigy unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support 2.08.0002" for my soundcard which is an Audigy 2 OEM (Model No. SB0240).
I am using WIndows Media Center Edition 2005, but when I try to install the beta drivers, I get the following error message:
"Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Please ensure that your product is properly installed before running this setup program
Setup will exit."
My Device Manager shows Creative SB Audigy 2 (WDM) with driver version as follows:
Driver Provider: Creative
Driver Date: 23/06/2004
Driver Version: 5.2..444
I am currently hearing sound fine (so the soundcard is installed correctly), but the sound keeps cutting out from games that use OpenAL.
Anyone else getting this problem? How did you fix it's

Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Internal Drive (Upgrade Opti

I own a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS, and in the instruction manual and on your website you mention a Internal Dri've Upgrade Option like the one that comes with the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Platinum. My question is i have found similar products available for the Sound Blaster Li've series, but i have not found that product available as an upgrade for the audigy 2 zs. Could you tell me if it is not in production or if the li've di've IR is compatible with the audigy 2 zs. Also the manual noted a adapter needed for the spdif out, were is that available?

Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series and Win 7 64Bit

Now that Win 7 SP is out, i am planning on moving over to the Win 7 64Bit OS.
Whats the best way to setup Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Champion Series card software setup.
Is there a DVD i could download or be sent for Win 7.
Whats the best way to proceed...
Thanks
red

OK I got it!!
I put in a Price Alert at the egg and got it for 09.00/with FREE shipping so I'm stoked!! it DOES have a yellow sticker on the box that says "works with Windows 7" so I guess this is all I need.
Are there ANY suggestions on how to go about installing this in Windows 7 64bit, I want the front panel to work and will use it for movies music and mostly gaming.
what about Windows 7 installing the card as a standard sound device at boot, is there a way to prevent this if not how is this fixed?
Should I use the newest beta drivers? or wait till I see if I have any problems with the sound not working?
what about the user made drivers I have seen around these forums, I know they are most likely not supported but how about functionality? would they be better?
thanks for any suggestions.
