Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty - Computer randomly freezes accompanied by a single be

I just bought my X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatalty Pro Series and my computer randomly freezes for up to 0 seconds and I hear a single beep from my internal computer speaker after which my system goes back to normal for about 5 to 0 minutes and then it repeats the same process. I have upgraded all my drivers for my motherboard, including flashing my bios to an updated version, and I ran the creative software auto update from the website and updated the drivers and software and I'm still having the same issue. I am running a Dell XPS 400 system:?Dell DXP05 MotherboardPentium D830 Dual Core Smithfield @ 3.0Ghz2 gigs ramXFX Nvidia GeForce 7900GS 256mb Video Cardand X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatalty Pro Series Card?Any thoughts? I've read similar posts however none seem to be the same as my issue.

Hi,
Did this happen right out of the box or do you own the card for some time now?
Just in case, please ensure that the sound card is firmly seated on the pci slot.

Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Pro problem

Hello,
I own a Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer Fatalty Pro and I have a problem with it. If I want to switch to speakers or headphones, by removing the jack and inserting another one back to the sound card, the sounds stops, or it emits a sounds like when someone connected to an ECG dies. I can only swap headphones with speakers and viceversa when the computer is shut off.
Can you please help me?

Please fast help...
and this is a secure download you mean? ....
Jeez, calm down already. I never said you HAD to download it, but if you want any of the applications that work in XP to work in Vista then you're going to need that disk; either by downloading it or fromk here,?http://us.creative.com/products/prod...7&product=6743?

Maybe you really should take a vallium or something and re-read what I posted, then you may just grasp the fact that that is the exact driver I told you you needed.

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 x-fi xtreme gamer - problem with headpho

Hi,I've install the card and i want to use the creative speakers and headphones as well. (seperatly offcourse, but connected together)Is it possible at all to connect both of them together?for instance, creative shows in the manual picture to connect the headphones in line, and the speakers in 2.but i can only hear the speakers or the headphones when i connect them in line ... I thought that i can "program" some jack? ( like in most motherboards) to do that as well, but i saw the the "flexijack" option is all grey and cannot be used. If some one here know/had this problem, i would appreciate some help/advice. Thanks in advance,??

Sound very distorted at bootup with Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio

I have a new HP Pavilion Elite e9180t PC with a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card, an OEM card offered by HP. On two occasions, only two, so far, when the system is done booting the sound is distorted and it buzzes and hisses periodically. Upon reboot it is fine.
I have no idea what is going on and am concerned that this is a system of a pending failure. Is there something I can check?
Thanks.

I have this exact same system with the exact same problems. I called HP and got a woman who insisted it was all in my head. She didn't say that, but she continuted to tell me that unless she personally heard the problem herself, she could not help me. I told her it didn't happen all the time but usually at bootup and about every 6 hours or so as I was playing games throughout the day. I am a computer professional also, which should be noted, and I have worked tier 3 support for many years so I know how much knowledge a tier 1 support person has, which is what she was. I couldn't understand much of what she said due to the accent, which made it even more frustrating. Additionally, she remotely got on my system and clicked a bunch of things that made absolutely no sense whatsoever to the resolution of the problem. It seemed to me that she was trying to portray herself as "fixing" the problem so that I would agree it was now fixed and move one without her having to send me a new sound card, as I suggested. She asked me the same questions over and over "so what exactly are you hearing?" and "How often does this occur?". After the 4th time my frustration really began to show. Especially after "I'm afraid I have to conclude that there is not a problem with your soundcard if I cannot hear it." and "the diagnostics say the sound card is fine so it must be your speakers" even though I have swapped out the speakers several times and it also occurs on the headphones. Additionally, I bought TWO identical systems, one for me and one for my husband and his does not have the same problem. She tried to tell me that our parts were not identical, even though I opened both computers and I will tell you they certainly ARE identical. She is now calling me in exactly 6 hours because I told her that the issue occurs every 6 hours or so -- clearly she does not understand that that was an estimate of how often it occurs, not an exact timeline. I am really frustrated. She also told me there were no other complaints for this issue and now I find this forum. I also found a similar forum on the creative website. hmmmm. That tells me she was lying. She refused to let me speak to anyone else, also. Where are the award winning service and support technicians in all of this?? I mean, I work with HP from a business perspective all the time and I get better service. I am extremely frustrated.

And can you help me answer this question:
-I have this speaker,too.
-And when i use it with an Audigy soundcard and in 'quad mode' of speaker then the problem happen : there is no bass at all with two rear speakers.And sadly to say,This mode is very useful for gamer. This problem is shouted too by many users and there is a solution for this ,a 'bassfix' file from Dell.But it didn't work for me.
-Now,i want to buy a X-Fi extreme music,the same of you,but i can't not sure this problem finished or not.So can you check this for me?(Is Quad mode work OK with new sound card and the problem gone?)Please !!!!
Thanks a lot

Sound blaster Audigy 2 zs gamer problem!

(Sound blaster Audigy 2 zs gamer problem!? I had a recent problem recently that caused Windows not to load at all. After getting that fixed and the computer back home I have run into a sound issue. None of the Creative's Media Source programs would work properlly. When clicked on I would get the error that the program has encountered an error and needs to close. Finally un-installed all creative programs and related software and went through the re-install process. Encountered an error that program could not load because plxcore.plx cannot be found. I went through the solution listed on?Creative's web site to fix the?issue and none of fixes worked. Recently deleted everything Creative again by uninstalling all drivers and going through the installshield folder and deletd all creative related items. Went through the install process again. Had the plx error, fixed it and had sound but had the same problems with the Media SOurce as before. Went to Creative's web site through auto updater for a new driver and other essential items needed for my sound. Back to no sound again. Under Windows control panel under sounds and audio devices under volume tab, it will not even let me select the speaker setting or place the volume control on the task bar. @99.3.9.75

Try updating your BIOS to the latest and have the sound card tested on another machine to see if it is still functioning.

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio: Many issues I have been faci

Hello everyone. This is my first post at these forums, with the hopes of getting my issues resolved once and for all.
First and foremost, let me inform you that I have very high experience with computer hardware.
A couple weeks ago, I bought a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card from a local retailer. (Yes, I am aware that this is not an actual X-Fi card with the designated chip). I previously had an onboard sound solution on my motherboard, and uninstalled and removed all of the drivers COMPLETELY before I installed my new sound card. I then opened up my case, and continued with the installation of the card. After I had downloaded and installed all of the latest drivers, I immediately started to notice issues with the card. My MAIN problem is that if I have a specific application open, whatever it may be, one of my headphones, either left or right, will stop producing sound, and then is followed by the second one, which leaves me with no sound output at all. If I restart the application, the problem is temporarily fixed, but then comes back again within a few minutes.
This is VERY irritating to me, seeing as I originally thought the problem was not with the sound card. Believe it or not, I reinstalled my copy of windows over 5 times throughout the course of the last few weeks in hopes of finally fixing the issue. And here I am, on a brand new installation of windows, and the problem STILL persists.
I can assure you all of my hardware is functioning correctly as I have tried 2 other sound cards which have not had any issues like this whatsoever.
Yes, I have read the FAQ, but I couldn't seem to find the solution to my issue there, which is why I am posting it here. Sorry if I sound irritated, but this has bothered me very much and I have been starting to lose a lot of hope in Creative...
Thanks in advance.

Anybody?

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme audio lag prob

Hi,
System sepcs:
XP SP3
AMD 2.5GB Dual Core
2GB 800MHz RAM
500GB HDD 32MB cache SATAII
I have a sound blaster X-Fi Xtreme audio card and have the latest drivers. when i play any type of sound, music, movies etc the sound seems to 'lag' or play very slow and i tried re-formatting my computer but still no help.
Any help/ideas is greatly appreciated.

With your Evolution e49 keys (USB), did you install the drivers to add the USB Midi In via the Properties MIDI music Playback. Once you install the drivers for that USB device, you will have the option to select and change to the USB midi device in Properties MIDI music Playback. This can be easy to do in windows xp, not in vista. In vista you have to have some DAW software installed, such as "Cakewalk SONAR Home Studio 6" to change the midi devices around within the DAW software. In audio console, you have :?MIDI Device:
SB X-Fi Synth A [EC00]?This is normal and will not see a change or can not be changed within the audio console.
I have the E-MU Xmidi x (In/Out) USB midi cable. I had to install the USB midi drivers for this device, both in Windows XP and Vista. In Windows XP>Properties MIDI music Playback, I can change to the E-MU Xmidi x USB device and use.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Control I/F

I purchased an HP e980t with a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio? board as an option. The system came with Vista OS, and had a very nice interface to the audio system that allowed me to listen to the line-in (external sound system), set effects, etc. The taskbar had an icon for this interface on the extreme right, near where the time and date is displayed.
Problems with the Windows 7 upgrade led me to reinstalling Windows 7. I had assumed that the software downloads from the Creative web site would have the audio I/F software, but I was mistaken.
Where can I find this I/F application? Baring that, how do I listen to what is coming in over the line-in port?
Thanks.

Hi,
Did this sound card came preinstalled along with your HP computer? If so please contact the computer vendor for assistance because the driver and software are usually distributed and customized by them.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio: Mic Interfere

I have an ASUS P5B-Deluxe WiFi AP motherboard which I had a few problems with to begin with and had to RMA two different boards back to eBuyer (bad memory controller & broken battery holder)
The problem is when I speak over the microphone to friends they report a train sound coming from my end. When I try recording using the built in XP sound recorder I can replicate the train sound. It sounds like bad interference/crackling. This is random though because when I stop the recording and start it again it can be fine until I restart it again. I have tried on many occasions uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and even installing older drivers. I have even tried every possible configuration within SoundMAX the tool where you configure the on board sound. I have tried various microphones including a superbeam microphone provided with the motherboard and a Logitech headset with a microphone. I have tried disabling microphone boost and muting every other sound channel expect for my left and right speaker.
I became fed up so I decided to buy a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card thinking that would be the end of my mic problems (Yes i did uninstall everything related to the on board audio from ASUS and disabled on board audio in BIOS). Last week I ditched my on board audio for a Creative X-Fi sound card from Scan.co.uk. It worked instantly out the box, I installed the drivers that were provided on the CD that came with the sound card. The auto updater then update the drivers to the latest. However up until today the problem has started with the Creative card. It started with a friend saying he could hear train like sounds coming from my mic in game and I decided to check it out with Windows sound recorded and in fact the problem has resurfaced. I can record fine up until I stop and start again. Occasionally when I restart recording the interference/high pitched noise starts, I can tell by the graphic line moving up and down without me making any sound.
For peoples viewing pleasure I saved a raw sound recording from Windows Sound Recorder tool http://rapidshare.com/files/6566423/interference.wav
I am starting to think this problem may be related to my case fans. I have them on the medium setting, 3x20mm fans and a 200mm fan on the top of my case.
Here are my system specs:
Motherboard: ASUS P5B-Deluxe WiFi
Processor: Intel E6600
Memory: 2xGB Corsair PC-6400 at 5-5-5-2
Power Supply: Corsair 520W
Case: Antec 900
Help would be appreciated. Thanks

Bump.
I am having this issue as well.
Got an eVGA nForce 680i MoBo, never had other problems with it.
This is the second problem I have with my Xtreme Audio, and should nobody have a response, I will be sending it back where it came from.
I am sick of the terrible support Creative offers. :-(

Any ideas! Or suggestions?
