Soundblaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Beta Driver 1.02.0061 Problem

Plain and simple. The Driver does NOT detect my USB Card.

There are two models, X-Fi Surround 5.1 and X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro.
The beta driver for X-Fi Surround 5. is version 1.0.0098
The beta driver for X-Fi Surround 5. Pro is version 1.02.006 ?

SoundBlaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 - Having Trouble Getting all of my 5.1 to work

MSoundBlaster X-Fi Surround 5. - Having Trouble Getting all of my 5. to work?Hi Everyone,
This has been an on and off problem for me since I've purchased my X-Fi: I can only get certain speakers to work at a single time. As you know, in 5. there are the three /8 inch heads: green, black and orange. All of the heads, when plugged into the green slot (I am using the cable that converts the green head into the red and white inputs, not the green headphones input) on the X-Fi work. I take this to mean that all of the speakers do in fact work and that the problem lies within the device/drivers. I have looked high and low through windows and the creative control panels and changed all of the speaker settings to 5.. Maybe I am overlooking something.
I am using Windows 7 32-bit. I have tried both versions of the driver that are available via Creative's website.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Dave

@Re: SoundBlaster X-Fi Surround 5. & SPDIF - it's despairingA Ok - Problem fixed. Again I am using a XP 32bit, latest driver.
I have disabled all the features (cmss, 3d, etc) and used the provided creative player and powerdvd player. Both work FINALLY right. I can listen to .ac3 5. music track and the SPDIF as a pure passthrough is sending 5. output to my Bose receiver. Same for the DVD sound.
Note when I used the VLC player the SPDIF still did not work right ... but since it does with the creative player I am good with it.
Once you activate any of the feature then the sound if brought down to a 2.0 (stereo) sound.
In my driver I do not have an option to disable the analog output - I assume that is different then the Vista one.
One other question. I have tested the card with Shure SE530 headset and the output is TERRIBLE - does it work fine for you with headset? (I am planning to use it only as SPDIF so no biggy but I was surprised on the poor quality. Those headset are amplified and filtered so there could be some issue with that).

SoundBlaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 & SPDIF - it's despairing

<SoundBlaster X-Fi Surround 5. & SPDIF - it's despairing? Hello together,
I'm using the Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Surround 5. with a Notebook (Vista; 32 Bit)
And now the Question: Is the soundcard only badly designed, or am I to stupid to get it work? ^^
I want only 2 easy things from the card:
) Using the optical SPDIF out for connection to my stereo unit, without any change (bitperfect)
2) Using the Headphone Out for my Headphone in Games with EAX; etc.
And now the problems:
) Vista shows me for playback 2 creative - interfaces: Speaker and SPDIF-out.
But if I deactivate SPDIF-Out I get still sound out of SPDIF.
And if I only want sound out of the SPDIF, I get still sound out of the speakers.
Isn't it possible to get sound either with the SPDIF-Out OR the Speaker/Headphone Out ?!
2) The sound of the SPDIF OUT delays a fews seconds?
3) I can't do any changes for SPDIF in the Creative drivers. And there is only the Entertainment Modus.
Thank you for help!

Problems with soundblaster x-fi surround 5.1

, Hello,
I have problems with my 'soundblaster x-fi surround 5.'.
-the speakers make 'plop' sounds
-the software 'startup centre', 'configuration' etc. give this message (translated from Dutch): "There are no compatible audiodevices found. Please close the program."
I have this poblems using a 64bit Vista, and not on a 32bit Vista (other machine).
Thanks,
Ivar

Hi Enk,
unfortunately a lot of people have the same problem.
There is another thread for this topic:
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...scending&page=
but for now there is no solution.
The only way to get the product working with "realtime" sound is to install the Vista driver from 2006, but with that one you have only stereo sound and the creative applications will not detect the product.
As I understand it, the delay can only be a driver issue.

Beta driver 98

hellow guyz i think u already know i have usb surround 5. x-fi i like to ask little question .if i pause and play again at cyberlink watchin some movies or when i changes preview sound in soundforges this soundcard always sound like a HALTz tone , is that normal or abnormal? the worsting is when this soundcard sometimes love to screaming itself sounding a tone same case like Haltz tone i said before ? 2. when i play mp3 at winamp without equalizing at winamp the song sound same like i setup in multitrack...but when i equalize at winamp ...i hear more like its compresed and sound not good....actually i let turn off console setup when i play it, i compare 4 player aimp + winamp + media player + KMP player , my opinion its media player sound same like original mp3 i render...while KMP player i think its the best becuz i found it on all those player they contain internal prosesing inside it.. 3. this driver beta sound good but i little bit losing a 3 D simulation sound that old driver versi 76 can produce...its hard to explain but i can feel it each intrument is in 3 D shape in previouse driver ( of course i test it with turning off menu console) , this beta driver its between 2D and 3D so its little bit hard to makes sure sound shape 4. mic line in its better than pax...but i stil have not trying recording line input source , i post it when i done it thnx cheers PS: I got a bit BOSD but i dont really sure is cauzing by driver or maybe a bad VST ...

bout mix sound i said is it seem like those guy had big HOLE pipe head room to kick in the bass and his kickdrum so loud and to tight without get in distorted harsh / geting in red peak i try to push up and pull up my VST kick bass or kick drum / my sample kick with this soundcard but while i reach same loudness in my headphone and i see indicator it reach red peak sometimes the loudness same but overall i can get just a harsh distortion if i keep push up the volume ....event the compresor i put doesnt really can handle the bass like i want to get those guys sound mix i dont know wats wrong with this soundcard....

New beta driver (2.09.0001) and MIDI playb

Since MIDI playback isn?t used by many people nowadays, I don?t have any hope the CL will fix the outstanding issues, but just for the records:
At least for me the driver fixes nothing in regard to MIDI-playback.
- Resolves SoundFont? issues where notes distort and change pitch during playback and recording
This is what the readme says, but in fact absolutely nothing has changed with the beta driver. But most likely I am only hallucinating...
Notes randomly distort and change pitch exactly as before. This seems to happen more often the bigger the soundfont gets. Try for example the great Fluid3. Works fine on an ages old Soundblaster Li've, but shows the above mentioned problems with X-Fi (since Audigy of course you have to hack the registry to load soundfonts that big - something that has been discussed in various CL discussion forums litarally for years...)Message Edited by lontomer on 06-05-2006 0:38 AM

I forgot to mention, that incidentally I swapped motherboard, ram, cpu and graphics card since I purchased my X-Fi last year. This leads me to the (hopefully not too far fetched) assumption, that in this special case it might actually be the soundcard itself that is causing the problems with playing sounds.Message Edited by lontomer on 06-05-2006 0:52 AM

Okay, I did my best searching and I couldn't find anything that matched all your descriptors. I did do a search on both decoder numbers. SB0256 returned very little results, but with SB0466, I was able to find this ebay listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...6_fvi%3D&_rdc=
This card isn't a Champion like you suggested. And with my complete lack of knowledge, I don't know what I/O dri've bay means. But since it is PCI and the decoder matches the number you gave me, this card should be adequete, right?
Whether it works or not, my search indicated it might be very hard for me to find that card (or any PCI card for that matter). Everything I saw was out of stock. I know this is a forum for Creative, but are there any other manufacturers that will allow me to accomplish my goal, either with current cards, or discontinued cards? Thanks again
Oh, and I will vote on that thread. I probably won't wait for them to release the decoder since I need it now, but I still believe Creative should be giving the customer what they want

[X-Fi Xtreme Gamer] Makes strange noises - then nothing. Beta Driver won't go away... *he

Hi Folks
I got some Problems with my xtreme Gamer:
When I started my PC yesterday everything was fine, but after a while the sound produced some strange failures? ending in just making a horrible high noise.
I tried kinda everything I could think of (Restart, install new Beta Driver (October 7th) but nothing helped either the sound constantly was this Noise or nothing. I couldn't even see that something is playing in the Vista Sound menu. After installing the beta driver I could at least SEE that something should be playing (but only in general, not app-related) but nothing comes out my speakers.
So I tried to went back to try the latest official release (2.8) I had 2.6 before. But the Setup always tell me that I have a never Driver installed and just let me confirm some EULAs and want me to restart without installing anything. After the restart the same...
I tried to remove any Creti've Data from my system: uninstall the device in the Hardware-manager, uninstall the driver software, delete all files that could be related ti creative on any HDD and the registry, used CClenaer and Driver Cleaner Pro...
but it still tells me that i have a newer driver in stalled... (in the Hardware-Manager I got the yellow sign)
So my questions are:
st. How do i swap this Driver off my system?
2nd. How do I get my sound working again?
My system: Vista x6, X-Fi Xtreme gamer (connected with cinch to my reciever wich works fine )

Nvidia Verde 304.79 Beta Driver on GE620dx

Hi,
I've tried installing the new beta driver from nvidia, the Verde 304.79 Driver. It works fine with TSW and my GPU temps are stable, but the problem is that my integrated graphics seems switching every now and then even if it's idle (power button goes orange then blue every 20 seconds or so). Tried to play SF4 and FPS dropped so low. Anyone here experiencing this too? Thanks .

It's an nVidia driver problem. Neither one of the two new betas do anything but give me a black screen with GTX 680's in SLI. 301.42 works well. Best recommendation would be to report it to nVidia and stay with 301.42 for now.

SB Live 24bit external problems with windows 7 beta driver

Hi, I have a problem with my soundcard with the windows 7 beta driver. An unwanted sound come out when I'm doing something like chatting with Yahoo Messenger or buffering Youtube. I don't know what makes it like that, can you guys help me out, please
Thank you

Maybe you could start by donating something
I'm giving you something Creative would never do, so I think I deserve it, don't you think
Doesn't matter if it is $2 or $5.
All these Vista Support Packs prove my knowledge and are true modifications, not like the current Youp Pax crappy releases from a dumb person who doesn't even know how a INF file works.

A retarded ape could make a better driver

I paid $80 for my x-fi titanium and getting this piece of crap to work has been a nightmare. I'm not a retarded user, have been working intimately with computers most of life. I know my crap. The hardware is fine, but the drivers for this card are frankly the work of a drugged up monkey.
Here's what I want to do: Get stereo s/pdif output working at 44.Khz and have my microphone not play through my speakers leading to ear-splitting feedback. A simple task, one would think. Not so with these drivers.
Issue the first: getting s/pdif output working at 44.Khz. Audio control panel in windows set to only use 44.Khz and 48.0Khz. For some reason, Creative does not obey this. No problem, you might say. Just change the setting in the creative audio control console. Oh wait, there's an option to force digital output rate, but it is not available. One question: WHY? Why can't I force this god forsaken piece of crap to output at the rate that I choose? Maybe my receiver doesn't support 96.0Khz output rate? Jesus, please help me change this.
On my mic: there's no option in the volume control for mic playback volume. there is no option anywhere except creative's piece of crap audio console. Except that every time I make a change, this gets reset.
I'll seriously eat my hat if anybody can tell me how to make this work. Honest to god, Creative should be embarassed at the driver support for Windows 7. This is a load of crap.

I'm suffering just as much as you and everyone else. I tried older drivers and they don't work on Windows 7 anyway. I am currently using this weird beta driver that everyone swears by. It actually gets rid of the distortion, but now two of my speakers don't make a sound (I have 5. speakers). So this beta driver obviously doesnt work well. Plus on Battlefield 242, the X-FI option can't detect my card!? What a joke!? I just emailed Creative and I'm sure tomorrow they'll give me some bogus response that they are "currently working on the issue."? I cannot believe that the biggest sound card company in the world doesn't have drivers that work properly on windows 7. It appears that everyone I know who is using an Intel chipset?board does not have this issue. It's pretty much all of us who are using boards that have the Nforce chipset. Here's some food for thought... my best friend is using an Nforce chipset board and he recently bought an X-FI Xtreme Audio card. It works beautifully in Windows 7.
Well, it turns out that the X-FI Xtreme Audio card usese a totally different Windows 7 driver than the Titanium, Platnium, Xtreme Music, and Xtreme Gamer editions. So if Creative can make a very good driver for the Xtreme Audio edition, why can't they do the same for the other ones?
!!! I was almost ready to can my Xtreme Gamer card and get an Xtreme Audio card. But I don't wanna give another dime to creative anyway.
