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.

Software Installation for Sound Blaster X-Fi Notebook

5Software Installation for Sound Blaster X-Fi Notebook[ Hello, I have searched through the sound blaster forum for an answer to my question, but have been unable to find it.
I recently recieved a sound blaster x-fi notebook. When I inserted the unit into my computer, the drivers installed just fine and I am able to use it, however, when I try to install the software bundled with the product on disk, something goes wrong. To be honest, I have no idea what it is. The problem seems to be with the install wizard itself on the disk provided me, because the install progress gets to about 20% and freezes while installing the Creative Console Launcher. I'm not sure if I just need a new CD, or if it is a problem with the software itself and nothing can be done.
If anybody can provide some insight as to what the problem is or how I can fix it, I would be very appreciati've.

Hi,
Glad that it work for you. I think someone is asking for feedback in that driver download thread. Maybe you can post your feedback there on how is it for your x-Fi Notebook with the new driver set. I believe there are others who would be like you and would certainly love to hear any good news. Everyone has always been posting on what's bad and what's not working, but i think we should also post to tell what's good and what's working.

Express cards and 2008/2009 MacBook Pro

Just curious to know if anybody here is using an eSata or any other express cards and do not have any problems at all with it. I understand express cards do not work well on these notebooks.
Message was edited by: Freddie Herbst

On the early 2008 MBP I had I used for 2.5 years and used some kind of card in the ExpressCard slot the whole time. Never a problem.
I used an eSATA 2 port controller for a few months as well, I had an Wintec 48GB SSD ExpressCard. I had a couple of problems with the SSD until a firmware update from Wintec resolved issue.
Some of the commentary you may be thinking about related to this is the speed of the eSATA bus being stepped down to 1.5MB vs it's capable 3.0. It's a topic of technical debate perhaps but has nothing to do with the actual reliability and usefulness of the ExpressCard feature. Actually I sure wish the current model 15" MBP still had ExpressCard.

Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1 and DTT2500 5.1

Hello!
I have a Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1 and a Cambridge Soundworks DTT2500 5.1 Digital Sound System.
I linked them with with the SPDIF-Out on the Live! Drive.
First i thought it works but then i realized that there is only sound from the 2 front and the center speakers. There is no Signal on the Sorround Speakers.
When i do the sound test in the sorround mixer, only the left and the right front speakers work.
Do i have to link it with this 9 pin digital din cable? But i don't have such and don't know where to get.
Can you help me?
How do i have to link this devices?

You may have to use the connection on the rear of the sound card...there should have had a "Y" shaped cable included with the speaker/sound card..it has a small 1/8" plug on the single end and opens to a din plug and rca type pluge on the other...try the single end in the orange input at the sound card and the other two plug in to the speaker system..sorry bout being so vaugue, i'm kinda tired..but if you need the original speaker system/ sound card owner's manuals with the installation diagrams I can get them to you.

Hi Angelo,
Thanks for replying. When I rebooted the system and got into
"Solaris Device Configuration Assistant" it printed out:

When I typed "prtconf", the message includes

Is the sound card one of these?
The sound card has a Vortex II chip on it.
From the main window, I chose "Programs", "Audio",
and the error message I got is:
/dev/audioctl
Could not open stream to audio device
There is no /dev/audio file.
Thanks lot for your help.

Sound Blaster X-FI Pci Express Front Panel Not working right Win7

ASound Blaster X-FI Pci Express Front Panel Not working right Win7
Please read carefully
Part number Part SB040
Hello,
I have a fresh install of Win7x64 OEM. First, I want to say that I have "AUTOMATICALLY MUTE SPEAKERS" UNCHECKED under the Headphone detection tab. I have tried "Automatically Enable Headphone Settings" checked or unchecked. No difference.
As soon as I plug in headphones to the front panel connector , the speakers in the mixer say "disconnected" (see below) and the SPDIF becomes the default output. There is no way for me to change this. And there isn't any sound coming from the headphones when plugged into the front panel. (the mic front panel works fine)
I am using the nati've Win7 drivers for the card. Apparently the Win 7 drivers on your site are older than the nati've ones.
This worked fine in Windows XP 32. 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.

Sound blaster Audigy LS, creative media center and creative playcenter wont install on

Hello. I have a sound blaster Audigy LS card in my computer, it came as a bundle in my Sony Vaio that I bought in october of last year. I wanted to download the creative media center, or the creative playcenter. I went through the process of downloads and support and tried to run them on my computer it either says Setup is unable to detect supported product on your system. Click retry button to redirect your device and continue the installation. I've tried clicking retry and and the same message comes up. I have Screenblast Sound Forge . for VAIO and Screenblast ACID 4.0 for VAIO and wonder if thos two audio programs (came with the computer also) are in conflict with installing creative products? The operating system i am using is windows xp media center edition version 2002. Thanks in advance for anyone that can help me.

Hi All,
I am pretty much in the same boat but with an Audigy 2 Value Sound Card.
Removed some old piece of rubbish card (6MB Aztech PCI 288 Q3D using a Trident 4DWave-NX Chip.... yes about 6 yrs old !) in my daughters pc and replaced it with the new one.
Same error message i.e. hardware not detected... ihave already posted as im trying to find and install the right drivers. I have also tried the PCI-slot hopping etc etc.
So what next people ?

Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer Card Trouble With Windows Vi

Hi, yesterday I installed vista and had no sound, I then updated the drivers for my Sound Blaster X-FI XtremeGamer Card and then the card was detected. The card says the drivers are working and that everything is fine yet I hear no sound, I have messed around with the options unmuting things but nothing seems to work, any help would be great. Thanks, Auro

Hi, im not tryin to insult ur intelligence but have u checked to make sure the sound is not muted in windows? for some reason my pc mutes the sound randomly when i turn it on (yes im running Vista 64...). This confused the beejesus out of me until i realised what was happening. Now im lucky if my pc actually starts up because of crummy xfi drivers and the BSOD but thats another rant entirely.....

Sound Blaster, Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 and ASIO st

adobe premiere pro .5 does not recognize my sound blaster card as a 5. surround card... so i can't mix in surround sound... the only input/output device in premiere is the default windows sound .5.... when you look at the list of speakers in premiere it only shows two speakers with SB Audigy sound card, instead of the 5. surround speakers. does anyone know what to do about this? sorry about the long post.

I don't know, but go to this Tutorial http://windowssecrets.com/newsletter/using-windows-7s-xp-mode-step-by-step/ and read

How to use airport express wired and wireless at the same time

Hi,
I currently have FiOS with Verizon, they ran a coax cable to the Verizon router. I didn't ask them to switch to CAT6 cable since I have an airport extreme base station and an airport express base station (both are the newest generation). I ran a CAT6 cable from the Verizon FiOS router to my AEBS (extreme) to make it the default wireless router. The Verizon router and extreme are in one room. Now, the Airport express is in my living. I'd like to extend the wireless network from the extreme. However, I can't seem to find a way to use both wired and wireless from the airport express at the same time. It's now either via wired, or wiresless. So is there a way to get both work?

Can you tell us if you used Apple's instructions for a "roaming" network?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4260
Although the instructions picture a 2nd AirPort Extreme in the illustrations, the setup instructions would be exactly the same for an AirPort Express.

The front panel connections you want to use are adapted to be connected to a motherboard with audio included, NOT to a PCI audio card. You'll have to connect the front panel wires to your motherboard's audio connnector.

Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS Plat. Pro and Playstati

I wanna hook my Playstation2 up to my PC so I can take advantage of my 7. surround sound system. I am not real sure how to go about this. I can't find any audo jacks that the Playstation2 uses on the external box of my SB card.
Any help is appriciated.

You must use the Optical output from the PS2.
Use an optical cable to hook up from the PS2 to the Optical input of the A2ZSPP Dri've.
