  • No 6.1 channel speakers option with soundblaster x-fi xtreme audio

    Here is my problem: I have a 6.1 channel speakers and a yamaha receiver, but my computer doesn't show 6.1 configuration, and neither does the creative software. Both control panel and creative software only have 5.1 and 7.1. When I use my speakers with my dvd player everything works just fine. My soundcard is the soundblast x-fi xtreme audio pci, and I have windows XP. Does anybody know what's going on?

    6.1 isn't really a common speaker configuration so I doubt that many sound cards discretely support it. I'm assuming that the only way to get 6.1 audio is from a movie with a Dolby or DTS -encoded track via SPDIF or letting the receiver upmix 5.1 input into the rear mono channel.
    How are you connecting the sound card to the receiver? Are you using SPDIF or direct analog connections? If watching DVD movies, I'd recommend SPDIF, provided your DVD software supports it, you should be able to send a 6.1 encoded stream over SPDIF to the receiver, but for everything else I'd recommend the direct 5.1 analog connections, set your sound card to 5.1 and then let the receiver upmix to the rear channel if you so desire to use that feature.

  • Soundblaster X-fi Xtreme Audio and ALch

    I bought a Soundblaster X-fi Xtreme Audio soundcard to go with my new computer as I have always used Creative and have been impressed by them. However, in Vista, my rear speakers do not seem to work. I did some research and found that ALchemy was what I needed, but I cannot get this to install. It gives me the error message that my card isnt supported. Is there any workaround for this? I feel pretty miffed having an X-Fi card and being excluded from proper sound in Vista.

  • Creative soundblaster x-fi xtreme audio PROB

    Hello!
    Ive just bought a ceati've soundblaster x-fi xtreme audio some days ago but it dosent work properly.
    I bought a ( http://www.clasohlson.se/Product/Product.aspx?id=383530 ) becouse i wanted to connect my PC to my reci'ver but i cant choose Spdif in the console launcer.
    -It just says unknown or no signal in the Digital I/O menu.
    What am i doing wrong?
    Help!

    The Digital I/O jack on the Xtreme Audio soundcard isn't an optical out jack so you can't use an optical cable directly with the card. If your receiver has coaxial jack, you can get a 3.5mm minijack to coaxial cable to work with the soundcard.

  • SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express and XFX 9800GT graphics c

    Hi
    I have just bought a SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express card and looked at the motherboard where I have a XFX 9800GT graphics card installed and noticed the PCI-E slot where it attatches to the motherboard is right next to the graphics card and I am concerned it may cause air flow ventilation problems for the fan on the graphics card. The gap is about 2 mm.
    .Does anyone think think this may cause the graphics card problems?
    2. Is there an adapter/extention?lead that can be?connected to the PCI-E slot so I can attatch?the X-Fi Extreme card so I can move it away from the graphics card ?
    Any ideas on this much appreciated.
    Mack

    The only way your going to know the answer to is by measuring the cards tempds before and after installing the sound card.
    Graphic cards run with certain temp limits, and I guess there must be one for yours.
    No idea on 2...all google throws up is "PCI Express to PCI Adapter".

  • PLEASE HELP!! ExpressCard Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card for NOTEBO

    Hi. I'm new here and found this forum because I have problems with my?Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card for notebooks. The card itself works fine with my Dell XPS notebook but I also purchased the upgrade kit-speaker docking module that would allow me to play my 4/4. speakers. The problem lies withiin the speaker docking module (upgrade kit). I'm running Windows Vista, could this be the problem? I don't get sound from my speakers. When I run the diagnostic test I only hear sounds from my front left and right speakers and nothing from my sub and my back speakers. I hear NOTHING when I play music or anything off of my laptop. Please help with this issue. Thank you.

    That's great, but ideally i would require to purchase from the UK.....

  • Problem with SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card Installat

    I just completed installation of my X-Fi Xtreme Audio card for PCI express slot. I followed instructions and cancelled the prompt for audio drivers (by the hardware wizard) and installed via the Creative Labs CD. The installation went well and the card appears to be
    functioning normally. My problem is that whenever I boot up the computer, the hardware wizard keeps discovering my card as new hardware and prompting me for a driver. I have been cancelling each time, but the last time I put in the CD, and had it search for the driver in the Audio/Drivers/driver/WinXP/bin, but it didn't seem to be able to locate the driver to satisfy itself.
    What should I do (besides turning off the hardware wizard) to end this cycle of "new hardware found" episodes every time I boot.
    I hope that someone can help with this.
    ps: I would have liked to speak briefly with a Creative Tech Support person, but they seem to have conveniently left any telephone contact numbers off of their website, so I must depend on your help. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Please check the "Support" folder on your installation CD for Customer Support contact details.

  • What is the following icon used for?

    It is a rectangle with a small black triangle at the lower right.  It has another rectangle in the center of the outer one that has what looks like a gradient in it.  Lighter to the left and darker to the right.  I am taking a test and they want to know the following:
    creating an inverted image, reversing the existing color palette
    creating a cloud pattern using two colors
    creating a color gradient using two or more colors
    What is the answer?  I have never seen this before and I do not have CS5.
    Thanks, the sooner the better...

    I'm thinking they just stylized it, because no, it doesn't exactly match the gradient icon in the Tools panel in the current release of Photoshop.
    Here's the same tool in Photoshop 6.0 (6 major versions older).  That's closer, but still not a perfect match.
    For completeness, here's what it looks like in PS CS6:

  • Airport Express - Discontinuous Audio when used for streaming music

    I recently installed a new iMac with Leopard along with Time Capsule as the base station connected wirelessly to the iMac. Added Airport Express to this network and everything looks like it works after a couple of tries.
    When I play iTunes on the iMac and select the Airport Express speakers, I get a discontinuous sound. iTunes plays the music for 10 sec, stops for a few sec, then picks up where it left off...repeat endlessly.
    iTunes plays back fine on the computer's speakers.
    Any thoughts on how to fix the discontinuous music streaming ?

    1. Check to make sure that iTunes isn't hogging all of your CPU when it is running. If your CPU starts running at 100%, you will get audio dropouts. Make sure that unnecessary processes don't load at boot time.
    ok, cpu is fine, between 0 and 25% when playing
    2. In Quicktime, Edit -> Preferences -> Quicktime Preferences -> Audio -> uncheck "Safe Mode". If this doesn't work, then recheck. You should reboot to make sure.
    DOne, rebooted, undone, redone, nothing helps
    3. In Airport Express Utility, Wireless -> Wireless Options -> Check on Use Interference Robustness
    also done
    4. If you have a lot of wireless internet routers in your neighbourhood you can try changing your wireless channel. Netstumbler will show you what's going on in your area.
    tried all of the 13 channels!
    5. If using a router and your Airport Express is a client of your router, move the antennas on your wireless router. One of the antennae should be at a 45 degree angle from the router so that the two antennas don't cause a conflict with each other. (Imagine dropping two stones into a pool of water where the waves created by the stones are equal to the radio waves produced by your router; the waves hit each other and distort the path of each one; by moving one of the antennae on an angle, this conflict is avoided.)
    antennas turned as you told me, still not better
    6. In iTunes, you might try changing the following: Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Change the buffer streaming to "small" (or one of the others).
    done, and also tried "medium" and "large"....
    7. If you are using a third-party router, and you are comfortable with changing the settings, and if you have this setting, you might want to try lowering or increasing the Beacon Interval.
    not familiar with this, what is a third party router? I have one main router for adsl and digital tv, + trying to get airport working for music...
    8. Of course, don't have a metal filing cabinet, or hollow tubes (yeah, even toilet paper rolls -- so no iTunes in the bathroom, please) -- as these would also interfere with broadcast.
    no interferences, no metallic cabinet, no toilets around lol
    what can I do more? give it back to the shop, buy a MAC computer instead of my pc? I think I'm going to give that thing back to the shop....
    Thank you very much for all your help but here I'm realy, realy getting fed up with this. Either it should work perfectly, either not, but here, sometimes it works, sometimes not, and there's no appearant reason when it drops.....you'll never know when it's gonna happen and for how long.
    So disapointed!
