Garbled sound NF4/Sound Blaster XFi Gamer with over 4GB memory

Sound is garbled, some people say it is popping, scratchy. System is: MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI, Opteron 185, 4 GB DDR 500 Memory, Sound Blaster XFi Extreme Gamer Sound Card and ATI HD 4850. This is a clean install of Windows 7 64 Home. Latest Creative drivers for Win7 cause sound to sound broken up or garbled. The work around is to lower the amount of memory windows can use below 4 GB, through msconfig. This work around gets the sound working, but windows now shows I have 3.25 GB of memory. The drivers seem to be the problem and I would like to know it anyone else has had this problem and what they did about it?

Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music??

I have Xfi Extreme Music (SB0640). In installed the lastes drivers for windows 7 (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.creative.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/#]Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series driver 2.8.003 [/url]), When I run a speaker test all 6 speakers work, however when I use media player, media center etc. Only the front left speaker works.
Do I need to install creative Alchemy?
Console Launchers does not load on boot
Any asistance will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

NRe: Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music? You will need to have the Creative Console Launcher which will let you have CMSS-3d or Creative Multichannel Surround Sound. You can find the newest version for your card here......

Honestly though, dont bother with just that. Get Daniel K.'s X-FI support pack which is updated with the newest drivers and applications for your card. Plus, he tweaked those with fixes for installation/integration? under operating systems other than XP.
That can be found here.......

CD-ROM Audio Connector on XFI-Extreme Music Addit

Hi Guys,?I was looking at the specs on the XFI-Extreme Music Addition card. I do not see any mention of an internal connector to connect the CD/DVD rom to the sound card for listening to audio CDs. Does this card not have such a connector? How do you listen to audio CDs without such a cable connecting these devices. Thanks in advance?

Hi Stormy 3?Had that unchecked. Thanks? a lot. Now I have learnt something new. I always thought you needed that cable. And the Audigy ZS 2 was the first sound card I had that came with a cable to connect to the digital slot on the ROM dri've. All the other cards I had only had the analogue cable. Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

Sound Blaster XFI MB3 issue

Hi,
I own a Dell XPS 15 laptop, 2011 edition, running Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit. I purchase Sound Blaster X Fi MB3 about a month and half ago, I felt changes in the sound output after using this software. I noticed last few days that whenever I try to increase or decrease the volume on my system, it does not effect the sound output. First I noticed in the game, after that it started to happen every time.
I thought the realtek audio driver was corrupted, I re-installed it. But no changes happened. I then uninstalled the sound blaster software and restarted the system. The controls started working perfectly. I did some search on net regarding this problem and found something to do with the audio output being sent to wrong playback device.
I checked the volume advance setting and found that, modifying the volume on xfi properties did not effect the sound, but realtek properties were effecting the sound output. I still get the sound blaster enhancement working though. I do not understand how the setting is working when the realtek option doesnt show sound output but does have control to volume.
Has anyone come across any such issue ?

I am getting the enhanced sound output though. But for volume, I have to reduce it from realtek volume control,I enabled it from volume mixer. Here are the snaps of the options:

I have raised the issue with creative team, but they were not able to find the issue. I just want to know which software is having issue, is it the OS or the XFi MB3...
Thanks
Hi kromastorm,
It's hard to tell but based on the snap shots, it seems that the volume controls of the Realtek and X-Fi MB3 are not in sync. Under normal condition, the volume levels should be in sync.
Suggest that you uninstall the X-Fi MB3 first; follow by the Realtek driver. Download and install the latest Realtek driver before reinstalling back the X-Fi MB3 software. I reckon there are software updates that may interfere with the software behaviour; so be sure to disable any background programs before proceeding.

You have a SB0467 which is a Dell oem X-Fi card. I do not believe it's "origional" or retail. I got mine on ebay brand new for $45. I knew what I was buying (my system is a Dell). The clue to not being retail is that there usually is no retail box, manual, software, etc. I got the card only. So in a nutshell: no support

You have to get the X-Fi I/O Dri've. Unfortunately Creative doesn't sell it anymore themselves. You can find it online, though refurbished.

XFI Extreme Music workaround for hanging and lock

Well I think I found a workaround for all the problems with my new XFI XM card.
I uninstalled it by activating a System Restore point to just before I installed the drivers with the Installation CD.
Then I rebooted and when the Add New Hardware prompt popped up as it detected the installed XFI card I made sure my XFI install disk was in the dri've and went through the wizard. It located the drivers it needed on the install disk. Finished the installation and rebooted.
Been running my system ever since, bout 0 hours now, also played Rise of Legends for about 2 hours straight (and if anyone knows how buggy ROL can be, thats no small feat), ran Itunes, all the normal stuff I do and not one glitch or hangup since. Even with about 50+ units duking it out in ROL I had momentary spots where the sounds seemed to bleed together but hey, with all that stuff going on and no lockup or BOOM BOOM BOOM starting up non stop, I'm a happy camper.
Granted I didn't install any of the other fancy software from the install disk, but this is much better, at least it works with no locku
ps.
Hope this maybe helps anyone else who at least wants a functional system.
Have a good one.

Hi KokChoy, thanks for the reply. The reason I am asking is that others seem to be having the same issue with the Vista CD available online and seems to relate only to the extrememusic. Has the CD available online been updated since release It appears as though the online CD is for all XFI cards (except extreme audio). I was under the assumption that this would be the same CD which was distributed through retail with Xfi product's. The CD which I received with my extremegamer does have the drivers for the extrememusic as I pointed vista to the CD to search for drivers and it did indeed locate and install as an extrememusic.
Not meaning to sound rude so I appologize in advance if I do but upon researching this I have found a number of posts but they all seem to contain "may not", "might", "should" or something similar. I was hoping to get some form of official response about the status of the install CD and specifically the extrememusic before ordering and paying shipping and handling for something which may end up being of no use to me.
Thanks.

Optional drivers for xfi extreme music?

Been using this card for 2+ years with no probs. Just did a fresh install of xp pro student and crysis crashes often. Some of the issues were ati vid drivers and still may be, but I was able to find and try older versions of the vid card dri'ves that have improved the issue.
I would like to try older versions of sound card drivers but between the black circles that obscure much of this forum and no listing of?older xfi drivers on creatives download page I have not found anything.
Also would like to find WHQL approved xfi drivers for xp. The only driver at creatives site pops up the "not approved" window during installation.

+ No more black circles. I can now search and read replies but to no avail. I still have not found info on whql xfi drivers or older drivers.
I have searched here and the net with poor results.
Am I missing something obvious?

XFI Extreme Music Prob

My system is listed below in my Sig, My problem is a Strange one as My card seems to be working fine except for the fact of when I attempt to adjust my settings IE Creative Media Player. I Get an Error(No Hardware supporting this program) as if the System is running off Windows Default or On Board Sound card (Which Ive since Disabled in Bios ) In Other Words when you attempt to go further and Change From Windows Default to Creative XFI on drop down Dialog box for a Sound source , There are no other Choices but XP Default ? . Ive tried reseating the card and also changing the PcI slot card is located in. Im currently using the beta driver that expires in sept., I hoped this would cure the problem , but It did not.
So in a nutshell while I am getting 5. sound from My Logitech Z5500 System, I cannot Change any settings , Any Help would be Greatly Appreciated. I Hope I Explained my problem well enough ,
Thanks

Are you sure you're actually using the X-Fi as soundcard? And not some internal card?
If you have an internal card did you disable it's In the bios if possible?

XFI-Extreme Music-Microphone is not detec

First of hey and sorry if this is an appropriate post but i looked at the stickies and they didn't help so im posting.
Ive had a XFI card for almost over 2 years now and obviously i have been using the sound for it but i haven't connected my microphone to it as I've have been using the realtek drivers on my motherboard but last week i lost on microphone input and had to resort to using a USB mic that i borrowed, thinking it was my headset i brought another and tried today and its still not recognizing my voice. So i plugged the mic in my XFI port and tried to see if it reconises voice but it doesn't, but when i go through the help and set up software and it asks to speak out the sentence it doesn't pick it up but if i turn the mic on and off it picks up sound for a brief second. I updated all drivers both for the card and motherboard and tried using both headsets which both work perfectly and still no luck so im asking outto you guys if you had the same problems and have the solution to my problem.
Thanks in advanced

I guess that should have been more obvious than it was :smileysurprised: yes, I had 'what you hear' selected. That would also explain why muting the playback of the mic was stopping people hearing me on vent/teamspeak.
just going to go check this now, thank you. Two pairs of eyes/brains better than one and all that.
[edit]
yes, that was precisely it - I feel ever so slightly embarrassed but thank you for the help.

Sound Blaster XFI Surround - Need a mixer like Creative Surround Mixer

Hi I have the SB XFI Surround card which connects through USB, I had an Audigy which had a great piece of software called Creative Surround Mixer, through which I could easily adjust the sound levels of each speaker by dragging a point on the display and thus mark my location in relation to the speakers. This was really great and I need that software or something similar for my XFI, is there anything with the same functionality? I tried downloading and installing the Creative Surround Mixer but apparently it doesnt work with the XFI. Thanks

That way I still have full control over the sound output from the Yosemite machine. That isn't ideal but works good enough until they release an update.
Same issue here. Would be nice to have a working driver on OSX 10.10 !

Xfi extreme music pci - chassis connect

Hi guys, I would like to connect my chassis (CM stacker 830)front audio panel so that I can plug my headsets. My chassis supports AC'97 and azalia (HD audio) connectors. Is there a way to connect the chassis to this sound card.
BTW I have a maximus extreme mobo, and I removed the sound card that came with it.

Like to know how you managed to get the card in Game Mode seeing as it doesn't even support it. Then again that card was never marketed as a gaming card, or are you seeing something in the specifications,
http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=209&subcategory=669&product=5 855&nav=technicalSpecifications
that I am missing?
Also don't even bother with hardware mode in game as there is no hardware on the card (EMU20K2), software mode only.

XFi Extreme Music Card Probl

I just bought my Xfi card a couple of days ago; My Audigy One was working fine(just as a baseline) My board is a Asus A8V bios 04 2 GB ram, A64 3500. My current test game is Call of Duty with the .4 patch. I have installed all of the driver updates this week; Game crashes almost immediatly. I first had a IRQ conflict with my Geforce 6800GT. I moved the X-fi card to slot 4 and no more conflict; however same problem with the game. I also get some cracklin in the speakers when the system boots up.
Question number one; should I plug a floppy power cable to the card? One post seemed to think that you should. This is just the Xtreme Music card with no accessories; the manual refers to this for "powering the X-fi I/o console via the AD_Link Connector. Any thoughs on this or my problem in general. I will try other games and see if it continues.

Actually, if you check the fine print at dell's website you will see a # footnote that says?basically that their card may vary from a retail one and also that the dolby is accessed via the DVD software they include.
Anyway here are 2 links to discussions right here in the forums that talk about it and I'm SURE if you did a search you would find even more, hint hint <wink>
