Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional and front panel audio compatabai

I recently purchased a XtremeGamer Fatalty Professional and was wondering if i could connect the front panel audio from my thermaltake case to it

Well, I don't believe that to be possible. I don't think Creative has ever put out pinouts for the cards. And I have a hunch that none of the pins carry analog audio through them (correct me if I'm wrong though).

  • Titanium Fatal1ty Pro and front panel audio

    So I hooked up my case's front panel audio cable to the Titanium card and used the front panel connectors.
    The sound quality is noticeably worse than using the back plugs. When I use the front panel mic, I also hear artifacts in the sound. When I play a game, I hear slight buzzes in accordance to what is coming out of the speakers.
    I'm wondering if this is just the quality of my cases's cables or if it also happens with the official creative front panel accesory.
    Anybody want to comment on quality?

    /Re: Titanium Fatalty Pro and front panel audioQI had an older Audigy 2 dri've connected to my X-Fi Xtreme Music and that never had any interference. The X-Fi dri've bay can't be bought separately anymore.
    When I switched to a newer X-Fi without a front panel, I used the case connectors and the sound quality was awful.
    I think it's the way the connectors are wired and the build quality. Despite the really awful drivers Creative ship for their cards, the hardware's actually pretty good.
    There're some guides on how to rewire front panel connectors to reduce noise:

    Ok, i've did this thing, now works, but the sound sounds only in the right side of the headphones, and the sound is very very slow....
    which of the 2 audio header plugs did you connect to the mother board ac97 or HDaudio?
    have you connected the headphones to the rear pannel connector of the motherboard to see if its better?

  • Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1 and DTT2500

    Hello!
    I have a Sound Blaster Li've! Platinum 5. and a Cambridge Soundworks DTT2500 5. Digital Sound System.
    I linked them with with the SPDIF-Out on the Li've! Dri've.
    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.

  • Does Front Panel Audio Work When Using RCA Outputs from the X-Fi Titanium HD PCIe Sound Card?

    I see that the rear panel headphone output is disabled when the soundcard RCA jacks are used.
    But is it possible to have the front panel audio output work at the same time that the RCA jacks are in use or is it also disabled?
    I am willing to tolerate inferior quality audio feeding my monitor and use the RCA jacks for my headphone amp.

    I was able to construct a work around for this problem. A Y splitter from the RCA outputs is an option but can degrade the sound because of the uneven load presented to the soundcard.
    Ten eleven inch Apevia CVTAUDIOE25 HD Audio extension cables were connected together in series to a SilverStone FP32 3.5 audio front panel bay. The extension cables were connected to the front panel audio connectors on the Titanium HD sound card and then the cables were run out of the computer case and up to the area near my keyboard. I connected the front panel audio bay to the extension cable and the bay sits next to the keyboard. When no 3.5 mm stereo cable is connected to the front bay near the keyboard the sound is normal out of the rear outputs. But when a 3.5 mm audio cable is plugged into the front panel bay audio there is sound out of the SilverStone front panel bay. The sound is still muted out of the rear RCA jacks when the plug is put in the front bay but it is only used when the main audio outputs are not required.
    The function for me is that the front bay serves the same purpose that the previous front panel 3.5 mm audio extension cable did.
    There are photos of this under a different user name on Audio Asylum PC Audio.

  • No sound front panel audio with newest CMI 9880L driver

    So basically I plugged in a headphone the other day on the front panel and noticed the audio jack randomly stopped working. They  worked for about 3 years and the last changes I've made was updating the CMI 9880L driver to the newest one on the MSI website for my mainboard( 915P combo), about a month ago. So I thought the problem was the new driver, I went back to the CD that came with the board and installed the audio drivers I had before, It also didnt work!. I went to the hardware manager and clicked on the ROLL BACK driver button and it installed a microsoft driver, this time the front audio jacks DID work, this means is not a hardware problem. What is going on with the new C-MEDIA driver? what should I do to restore sound to the front jacks?
    ps. I messed around with the BIOS options(switching between Azalia and AC97) and nothing happened.

    I am quite confused... would appreciate your help.
    Well, so was I. A good explanation can be found at
    http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/cs-015851.htm
    The point is, that the same output can be used either for AC-97 front panel audio (what you have on your chassis) or for High Definition Audio (which I've never seen). The board seems to differentiate between these two by means of the PIN #4 (Presence), which you just leave disconnected in your case.
    Microphone should use PINs 1, 2 and 3:
    1 - Mic In, 2 - Ground, 3 - Mic Power
    Audio output should use PINs 5, 6, 9 and 10:
    5 - R-Out, 6 - R-RET, 9 - L-Out, 10 - L-RET.
    After you'll have connected the PINs to the audio connectors, do not forget to turn off the jack detection in the "Realtek HD Audio Manager" as I described before.

  • Audigy 2 and front panel au

    Hi all,
    I have a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 (SB0240) I plan to put in my new computer setup, which is going into an Antec P60 case. The new case has front panel audio connectors for both speakers and microphone. The connector is compatible with the Intel specs. Is there a way I can connect my Audigy 2 to this? My mainboard's SoundStorm 2 audio has this connector, but I am unsure if I can do this with an Audigy 2 card.Message Edited by dterborg on --2004 2:36 AM

  • Front Panel Audio Issues on both Z97 and X99

    Hello,
    I am an owner of a Z97 PC Mate and a X99s SLI Plus Mobo.
    On both of these mobos, with the latest realtek drivers I cannot get front panel audio working.
    I have also tried the MSI drivers for each mobo from the product pages.
    I have "Disable front panel jack detection" enabled on both. If I disable this, it shows the jacks not being utilized.
    The realtek hd manager shows that both the front panel headphone and mic jack are being utiliized, even with nothing is plugged in and if I have the front panel header disconnected from the mobo. On each model I made sure that HD Audio is enabled in the UEFI.
    I feel that since I am having the issue on two seperate products that there is a similar issue between each that I cannot figure out. I do not have this issue on my ASUS Z77 Sabertooth.

    Hi
    What is the case are you using?
    Also are you sure you plug the front audio properly? Or if there are no bent/missing pins? I am on my 3rd MSI board (I switch a lot :D ) but all worked fine with my case.
    Try using audio while either board is running on non conductive surface (e.g. wooden table or motherboard box). Might be something shortening the board.
    I've tried both boards in all 3 cases I own.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.
