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.

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 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 !

Unable to boot to Vista with Sound Blaster XFi Fata1ity Pro Series driv

I installed Vista Home Premium x86 as a second OS on a partition in conjunction with XP Pro. When I installed the Creative Vista drivers for my Fataity Pro Series I can't boot into Vista, it keeps restarting. I can, however, boot to XP and the card still works perfectly.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Xfi Xtreme Audio Problems with Microphone and other things NEED HELP!!!!

? Alright i have exhausted my search for an answer for my problems.... This is a last resort now!
Im running Windows 7
st Problem: I was having problems with my microphone where people heard themselves through my microphone. Ok well i have a creative Fatility series headset with a supposed noise canceling mic. So last night i was like screw it imma put in the install disk for my sound card Xfi Xtreme Audio.
This Arose my 2nd Problem: Now that the drivers were installed and i finaly got a volume panel it says im running Windows Vista. The name next to my card says Sound Blast X-Fi Xtreme Audio (Vista). Alright so i am running windows 7.... What the heck! Next thing is my microphone doesnt even work! This is just awsome btw and im pretty sure the volume panel isnt even the way it was when i was on an XP system.
So if anyone has a fix to this problem let me know it would be great!

A quick update i was able to fix Problem 2, i had to get rid of what i installed so im just back to Problem . I dont have the VOlume Panel anymore but my microphone still seems to make it so that people can hear themselves....

LOUD HISS FROM XFI-XTREME MUSIC C

I have a Logitech 5500 speaker system and am getting a lot of hiss from the direct input from my sound card- XFI-Xtreme music. I have my cable box connected to the coax input and my DVD player hooked up to the optical input and they work fine but the sound card hisses very bad on the direct input. I have tried everything to corect this to no avail. Can anyone help me fix this PLEASE!!!!

pvs723,
Ok, lol. Is it a hiss or a hum? From your last post my first thought is a 60Hz hum, probably from a ground loop. Ground loops occur when one device is not getting a proper ground and is connecting to if through the analog cable to the other device. This extra noise is contaminating the true signal and thus gets amplified as a HUM.
But first, mute the inputs on the soundcard one at a time and see if it goes away, try not plugging your speakers into the same power strip as the computer (if used), and finally, make sure the outlet / computer is getting a proper ground.
If all else fails, then it is likely as I discussed above and you will want to look into a set of ground loop isolators or ferrite beads for your setup.

XFi Xtreme Music Audio is crackly when running Camfrog (Vista drive

My?Winamp and someitmes WMP audio is crackly when I run Camfrog (webchat software). It's fine when I don't run Camfrog. I've checked my settings, system resources, drivers, nothing's helped. I'm running verion 5.33. My other system specs are:
Dell Dual Core 2.8 GHz CPU
2 Gb RAM
Sound Blaster XFi Etxreme Music (with latest Vista drivers)
Windows Vista Home Premium (fully updated)
Could this be because Winamp is not fully Vista compatible? Is it a problem with the XFi Vista Driver? Any help would be appreciated, and thanks. XTrail

I have the same Problem under Vista64, under Vista32 i didn't have the cracking sound at all.
Somewhere in this Forum there is a Thread, who says it has to do with the 4Gig Ram other Thread says it has to do with the driver them self.
I just found a workaround to avoid the cracking in going to the Hardware Manager inside Vista and disable the sound card, then enable it again and change the Sound Quality setting in your Playback device to 24bit or 6bit, a change is necessary then hit the Test button if it crack start from the beginning again till it doesn't crack anymore.
I know this solution is really a bad one but it works. Most of the time x disable and enabling will solve it but sometimes i have to do it twice.
If anyone has a better solution or workaround pls post it!
thx

XFi xtreme music PCI + HD 2900XT vista 64 drivers incompatib

I can get my HD 2900XT card working fine on its own.
I can get my XFi Xtreme music PCI card working on its own.
Installed together they cause constant lockups and crashes.
Which ever cards drivers I install second after a clean windows install takes many many hours. Very odd.
Disabling AVS unified stream- no effect
Disabling XFi driver with card installed improves stability slightly but still multiple crashes.
Any suggestions, bar snapping the sound card in two?
My system
Vista 64 (fully updated)
Latest catalyst drivers.
Latest XFi creative driver
Pro X2 6400+
Mb asus M2R32-MVP latest (0906 bios, onboard audio disabled)
Mem 2Gb Xms2 800Mhz corsair
Hd Raid 0 2x500Gb
Wireless PCI belkin 54g
Graphics Sapphire HD 2900XT 52MB PCI-express
Sound PCI XFi xtreme music (tried both PCI slots)

THIS IS A 3RD PARTY METHOD AND OF COURSE THERE IS NO SUPPORT !!!
BEFORE YOU PROCEED PLEASE UNISTALL EVERYTHING AND USE DRIVERSWEEPER OR DRIVERCLEANER TO CLEAN YOUR REGISTRY TOO !!!
Ok here's a new alternative way that new driver will work 100% both XP and Vista (32/64)
install the 2007 suite (please do custom and do not install the audio drivers except everything else)
http://rapidshare.com/files/09758046/2007Suite-PAX.part.rar

http://rapidshare.com/files/09770659/2007Suite-PAX.part6.rar
(please burn the suite on a CD or DVD)(some applications have been moddified from the original 2007suite-pax, please re-download the suite!!!)
Ok after the installation of suite is finished do not restart your PC and install the following drivers:

Now you can restart the PC. Tested with all versions of windows (Windows XP / Vista both 32 and 64 bit !!!)
Master Volume works, remote control works too... CHECK IT OUT

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.
Message Edited by Dale-CL on -6-2007 :29 AM

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.

Issues related to Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express 1)

Hi, I've recently bought a SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express edition).
Before I address my issue, I'd like to point out that my rig is:
Maximus Extreme (mobo)?
Q6600 (cpu)
ATI4870 (vid card)
4Gigs of DDR3 (ram)
and my OS is Vista Home Edition (32 bit precision)?
And so after physically installing the hardware, I quickly installed everything there was on the CD- this included the drivers available on the CD. After this installation, I restarted then found most recent updates via online sources (creative.com). But even after all of this, I wasn't able to get my microphone to work. Now from my understanding, the jack is shared between Line-In and Microphone and I'm supposed to configure this setting. And so I tried to do that, but my only problem was that I was unable to use any of the available features. After researching for a few hours I found out that I, appearently have to uninstall everything that I had installed and then reinstall everything from online sources (from creative.com-- latest drivers for vista 32 bit). But even then, I still can't use my mic or configure the settings so that I could use microphone instead of Line-In.
Now going back to my actual question, how do I configure the settings so that I could use Microphone instead of Line-In?

ERe: Issues related to Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express )[ Bumping.
Almost the same problem here.
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio edition, Windows 7 64bit.
I downloaded the latest driver from the Creative site, installed it, update with the update manager and then i installed the console.
Issue number : I DONT have your same console. I dont have a "Mode" button, im stuck in Entertainment Mode. I cant control almost nothing and i dont have all the options u have.
Issue number 2: My mic isnt working good. It's VERY low on volume, i cant be heard without the +20db boost (the only boost option i have, i cant boost more) and even with that acti've that's not that loud.
It is still working good with my onboard realtek soundcard. I cant understand what's the problem and how to solve it.
Ah, my headset is a Creative Fatality.

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?
