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. 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.

  • Audigy SB 2 ZS Platinum Front Panel not working-HELP

    Hey everybody. I'm new to this forum, but not to computers. I built my computer about 4-5 months ago, and here are my specs:
    Ultra MS Blue Dragon
    ASUS P5GD
    Intel P4 Processor 3.0GHz
    GB GeIL RAM
    6600 GT 28MB Video Card
    Samsung 20GB SATA HDD
    Lite-On and NEC DVD Dri'ves
    Ultra X-Connect 500 W PSU
    Creative SB Audigy 2ZS Platinum
    I got the 2ZS platinum from a friend, but I already had a regular 2ZS. I plugged in his front panel to my old 2ZS. The front panel did not work. I then got his 2ZS, just the sound card, and plugged in the front panel. It still did not work. I installed all the software and drivers, and nothing. My sound card works fine, it is just the front panel that doesnt work. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks a ton,
    Derek
    P.S. The AD_EXT Cable fell apart a couple of times, but we put it back together. Could that be a problem? If so, where can I get a new AD_EXT Cable?

  • Sound Blaster Xtreme Audio PCI Express Quest

    I assumed these were uni'versally compatible with PCs but when I opened my Dell tower it doesn't seem to fit in a slot. Can anyone think of anything I'm doing wrong? or are they not compatible with most PCs?Thanks for any help!

    As the model name says; PCI Express -> you can connect this model into a PCI Express slot (x, x4 or x6 type slot). Remember always read the Requirements part too.
    If your Motherboard doesn't have one then your card has more use in your bookshelf.

  • SB X-Fi Titanium Front Panel not working

    Hello,
    I would like to fully use the Front Panel, because I own a 5. Surround sound system blocking all the backpanel slots. The problem is, that I simply get no sound from the front panel sound output, while the microfone works just fine. Is there some kind of special option to enable it's
    The FP is properly plugged into my SB X-Fi Titanium. And it's also not broken, because the FP works perfectly with my onboard soundchip (though it seems to cause crackling in my headphones, so I cannot use it for it).
    ... Okay now the Mic FP is not working aswell, eventhough it did when I tried it the last time. I set everything I could, like choosing Headphone Mode, enabling FrontPanel everywhere and all that. So why is it still not working?
    RIG: Win XP 32bit
    Asus P7p55d
    Creative SB X-Fi Titanium
    normal Stereo Headset
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Ofcourse that was something I did not know before I bought the soundcard. I am quite sure it is an AC 97 Front Panel, but how can I verify that?
    Seems like I will have to sell this soundcard.
    - The plugs from my 5.1 sound system are quality plugs and are rather big and so they barely fit, because the audio jacks (not sure about the correct english term here, i mean the holes from the soundcard, where you plugin the soundsystem) are sitting way too close together (expected more for that price..).
    - It doesn't support my Case's Front Panel.
    - And the soundcard is sitting directly before my Graphic Card's fan (because it uses PCI-E), causing heat.
    I guess there is no way around it. I will probably get a new graphic card at christmas and it's most likely going to be bigger than my ATI 4850HD. And I simply do not have the space for a bigger graphic card AND a soundcard, that uses PCI-E. So I guess the best solution is to sell it and buy a soundcard that uses normal PCI and supports AC 97, right? Or what would you recommend?
    Until then, is there an easy and cheap way to upgrade my ac97 front panel to Intel HD Front Panel Audio?
    thanks

  • Audigy 2 card with Audigy Front Panel not worki

    I've just bought a used audigy 2 card with an audigy front panel. I have installed everything and have sound from the card to my speakers.
    The front panel has a blinking light on the optical out and when I plug headphones into the panel, I can hear static and control the volume of the static from the knob on the panel.
    I can't hear anything else through the headphone jack and can't get any input signal using the line 2 input on the front panel.
    Connections and drivers appear to be OK, am I missing something......
    Thanks,Dave.

    David,
    If you go into the surround mixer or Windows mixer do you see a listing for the front panel inputs (line in2/mic in2, Aux 2, etc)? If so, are any of them muted? If you go to start/programs/Creative/SB Audigy/Audio HQ/Device Settings, do you show a headphone tab? If so what options are enabled in there?
    Double check your ribbon cable connection and maybe even swap sides of the cable.

  • Japanese font on Front Panel not working

    Hi,
    I am new on using LV and finds out that whenever I type a Japanese character, it shows garbage text.
    System:
    Windows 7 Pro 32bit SP1
    Labview 2013
    Problem:
    Whenever I key in Japanese character, the result is garbage, however when I tried to export the VI, and when I opened the txt file, the character is written correctly.
    Seems like only in the front panel the characters are displaying incorrectly.
    I've attached the Locale settings and also the garbage in the front panel for reference, as well as the printscreen of the export txt.
    Any solution for this one?
    Solved!

    Hi,
    There are several ways to display foreign languages in LabVIEW front panel.
    1. set “UseUnicode=True” in the LabVIEW.ini file.
    2.  use the app locale utility from Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13209). With this tool you can run LabVIEW (or builded app) under different locales without changing system locale in Control Panel.
    3. By default UseUnicode in the LabVIEW.ini file is disabled.  Remove it or make it False if you've added the UseUnicode.
    Then go to control panel>> Region and Language >> Administrative tab.  Then in language from non-Unicode programs, select the language you want to use.  With UseUnicode False, Windows will see LabVIEW and a non-Unicode program and enable this feature.
    Maybe you can refer to the links below.

  • Craetive Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook will not work in just any Lapt

    The following is an email I just sent to Creative support ear Sirs or Madam:
    I have been a Creative user ever since I've been using computers.
    Recently I visited your website in search of a better sound card for my laptop as I work in Iraq and I'm home on R&R. In Iraq all we have to do on our off time is listen and share music files. On your website I found a Creative sound blaster X-Fi sound card which fit my needs perfectly. I called Creatives support number and the lady that answered informed me that they did not have any in stock at the Creative center,,,,she refered me to the Dell website for purchase. I indeed ordered the th blaster X-Fi. When the sound card arri'ved I was very excited. I plugged in the card and nothing ! I went over the instructions several times before calling the Creative tech line. I was informed after 20 minutes with the tech person that it would not work in my laptop. the tech person told me it will only work in newer lapto
    ps.
    My laptop is a one year old toshiba satellite A05-S7 which I bought at the military PX in Iraq april 06. No where on your website did it say that it wouldn't work in my particular laptop. because of shipping charges and restocking fees I am forced to keep this card which will not work of course until I buy a new Laptop. I was informed buy your Tech support person that I needed an Audigy 2 zs notebook card for my laptop,,,well Creative of course didn't stock or have that card so I have searched High and low on the internet for this card with no avail. Today ( 6 nov 07 ) I am forced to order a **competitor** sound card which will fit my laptop. I am very upset and disillusioned with Creative at this point. I am sure my email will most likely go un-noticed as does most emails or letters to manufacturer's complaining about there products or service. It looks like when I return to Iraq I will have to promote the **competitor product** sound card as the card to use. I am very sorry this has happened and I hope you ad to your website the laptops this X-Fi card will work and not work in.

    First, please refrain from mentioning/discussing competitor products on this forum, as it is against the rules.
    Next, you are correct that the X-fi Xtreme Notebook will not work in any notebook. As it states in the System Requirements, it requires a ExpressCard slot to function. The Audigy notebook card requires an older PCMCIA slot, which is what your laptop has. I'm sorry the Xfi card didn't suit your needs, but you will have to have the newer, faster slot in order to use it as it states in the requirements.

  • MSI 180 front panel not working in both modes

    hi,
    I bought a msi mega 180 with AMD cpu, works quite nice for a barebone
    Now the problem is the front panel doesn't work anymore. It worked before, but now it doesn't work anymore. I think nothing is changed.
    I thougt the panel was broken, so I replaced it by a new version at an officiele msi distributor in NL, I placed the new panel. But nothing happened on that panel, on pc and hifi mode.
    So I think the barebone is broken, anyone can tell what to try before I can conclude the barebone (motherboard) is broken?
    btw, it's connected by 2 connectors, 1 looks like an audo connector the other one looks like a normal connector to me.

    Hi,
    I don’t think the front panel or the main board is broken I think its something else we haven’t figured out and MSI not willing to help us... I have Mega 865 and I have been having the same problem for almost 3 weeks now... sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t in both modes everything else will work normal except LCM.
    Once it works will work perfectly until I unplug the power from the computer then LCM display will not start.
    The problem begins when a hardware is installed the first time to get the problem I had just installed a pinnacle TV tuner when I took it off it came back the second time i installed a DVD rom but when I took it out still didn’t work I removed almost everything checked all cables and changed memory couldn’t get it work then I decided to put back everything TV card, DVD-rom, same memory back and still didn’t. Since it had happened before i was not convinced that it was broken then the second day I put the computer on and it worked on its own.. Now it works when ever it feels for it and take the day whenever.
    Let me know if you find anything helpful.

  • Sound Blaster Live x-Gamer 5.1 speakers not work

    I have the subject sound card with the matching Cambridge Soundworks DeskTop Theater 5. Dtt2200 Multimedia Speaker System. The system is about 5 years old. 2 weeks ago both front speakers stopped working. Saturday the 2 rearspeakers stopped working. Now the only speakers working are the center speaker and the subwoofer.
    I have checked the connections. They all seem secure.
    I suspect the Card. How can I trouble shoot this problem?

    Marc4ucb,
    Test your speakers with a different audio source such as a portable CD player. Replace the cable connected to your sound card, and connect it to the test source such as a portable CD player or portable MP3 player.

  • Audigy 2 platinum front panel not working!!!!!!

    I have sound through desktop speakers through the back of the sound card(that works). I had to reinstall the drivers to get that to work. Best buy reinstalled the stuff a week ago so i think the internal stuff is correct. The headphones dont even get static on the front, and it wont read mics. Ive downloaded the lastest drivers, checked to see if stuff was muted. Did i miss a step or is the front just dead. Im recording soom vocals for a band audution and need this working really soon. Please for the love of god help.!!

    Actually I'm having the same problem too here.
    Did all the troubleshooting I could the only thing left is to test the AD_EXT cable.
    Anyone able to give some advise on this?

    There you go, good solution. When doing this remember that you have access to the database on the server. A structure I have found effective is to use the server DB like a dropbox that I write to, and the web server reads from.

  • 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.

  • X-Fi Titanium PCI Express front pannel connection not working

    <font face="verdana,geneva" size="3">I can not get any signal to or from the front pannel connector of my X-Fi Titanium PCI Express. (The rear jacks are working fine.)
    <font face="verdana,geneva" size="3">The front header cable from my Antec P-80B worked perfectly with my onboard motherboard sound. Now that I have it connected to my X-Fi I get nothing from the jacks on the front of my case. (The onboard sound is disabled in my BIOS.)? I've double and tripple checked the connection and it is properly keyed and fitted. Is there a step or a setting that I'm missing somewhere to get this working? Can anyone confirm that the front pannel connection is acti've on the X-Fi Titanium PCI Express?

    Re: X-Fi Titanium PCI Express front pannel connection not working? I was truly hoping that would help and I wanted to give you some additional hope. I have a coolermaster case, and it has the AC97 jack on the inside with all my other other front panel connectors for hard dri've activity light, reset, and power on. Three inches down from the AC97 jack, the INTEL HD *which works beautifully with the X-FI, only differs by three wires in different locations and the two pinouts configurations match those of the INTEL site identically.
    Please tell me what happens as I would like to post a step by step guide for the others here in the forum. You will know when you have successfully adapted the connector because in VISTA and Windows 7, your sound applet in control panel will have a display of the connectors "lit up" when they are successfully connected. Mine shows FP microphone in the applet when its plugged in, and grayed out when its not. Its great for telling if I am connected on the rear of the soundcard of the front.
    Best of luck and .......
