Uhhh Xtreme Audio VARPAK 7.1 pciE card?

So Im looking for a new soundcard that I can use to output digital optical sound to my tv surround system and I find this on Newegg with the output
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E68290206
I looked all over and apparently no one knows what the hell this thing is. It even has pcie on it. I mean I need a cheap card to output surround from and this looks nice but at this point I dont even know if this is real.

Have you looked at the XF-I Extreme Music card?

X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card not work

Hello, in my first time building a computer, I've had problems that have been solved via various forums, and I'm finally at my last problem that I need to fix. I got an X-Fi extreme audio card that isn't working properly. I know that the card isn't broken or inserted improperly, as when I test the speakers through the card (I'm using the green analog cable, plugged into the card), it works nicely. However, when I try to listen to anything else, like music, youtube, etc, I can only get sound (occasionally) through the headphone jack, which makes things sound really strange through the speakers. When I try to put headphones in (the headphone jack), they don't make any sound. Does anyone know a solution to this? I've tried going through all the settings, turning the mobo's onboard audio controller on and off, and many other things. I'm using a Abit IN9 32X MAX motherboard, Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio VARPAK 7. Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express Interface Sound Card?and 32-bit Vista.

Today you're lucky, i also have an MSI XFI Audio but it's PCIe, if your card is PCIe, here is the CD:This CD is from a user named NUJA, http://nuja.free.fr/SBXAudioPCIe.rar , contain : CREATIVE_ALCHEMY_X-FI .00.07
Audio Console 2.40.2
Console Launcher 2.30.32
Creative Volume Panel 2.0.80
driver din 03/04/2008,6.0.0.20
This CD is better then CD from MSI, it has newer application and drivers.

S/PDIF options for PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card non-existant!

Hey guys, I've been searching around for this for a while now and I still come up with anything...
I currently have a PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card installed in my PC, and this cound card has a built-in optical output port. I have been trying to set the sound card to use this port and I still can not find anyway around it.
I have searched the support pages and they always go back and say that I can enable audio on that port using the Digital I/O icon in the media console (I'm in Entertainment mode btw, doesn't seem like I can change that). However, I don't have that icon present in my media console. I tried upgrading drivers, updating software but still to no avail
So right now i'm running Windows XP (32-bit) and what seem to be the latest software and drivers for this card, and none of this is making any sense to me and so I believe that I am going mad!
I am honestly starting to believe that the port is just there for decoration...

This seems to be a fairly common issue across out in the market.
Do you not think it would be worth while chasing this down internal to Creative and sharing the solution with everyone?
Pointing us one at a time to support for what should be readily available drivers doesn't make a lot of sense.

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7.1 Sound Card - OEM (PCI-Expre

Hi folks,?Purchased a from Overclockers.co.uk, its an OEM card, but unlike most other OEM equipment I have, for the life of me I cannot find any drivers for it, at present I am using it under Vista 32bit, and Vista 64bit, both are using very poor Windows Update drivers which have crippled the optical output to 2 channel only
I can see me sending this card back to Overclockers.co.uk if I can't get drivers for it ?Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where I can find drivers for this card, or equivalents to it. Cheers, Vaughn.

looking for danial k drivers

HI jmacguire
Sorry if i'm Wrong , but there is two versions available for Xtreme Audio one is PCI Version not True Xtreme Audio and Other One is PCI Express I think it's true Xtreme Audio ,and the PCI Express Version has Different Audio Chip Inside,and may they are using different driver versions....... U should Check it on Creative Drivers Used For Xtreme Audio PCI Version And PCI-Express Version Is different, Daniel Pack Has only PCI versions....

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.

Explain me something about X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express version

@Explain me something about X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express version? Hello,
I have a question about this card.
I've received my pc week ago and as I didn't know what to take about sound card (contrary to other pieces) and I didn't want integreted one, so I took the X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express. I didn't want to fall intro trap of X-Fi Xtreme Audio (normal) which isn't an X-Fi one in fact... BUT according to Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster_X-Fi#X-Fi_Xtreme_Audio ) Apparently mine isn't an X-Fi too? It's just a CA00 chipset one which 7. support?
With all the problems I have (sounds leave and come back without my intervention, or begin to be like headphone mode, you know, compressed sound), I would like an answer. This card is or isn't a "real" X-Fi sound card or it's just a poor Audigy?
Or CA00 is enough good contrary to EMU20?
Because the titanium one isn't so expensi've, I could go for it. (Yeah I'll ask to my sellor if I can give them back my sound card if I have too many problems!)

D Oh yeah by the way, I'll make the most of this topic to ask you why it's possible to activate the bass settings on console launcher and not in the other application "Audio Sound Panel" (sorry for my english, mine is in french) and why I can't set the bass and treble like I did on my Audigy

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.

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".

[X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI] Bass Boost vs Vista 64

Hardware: X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI
Problem: BassBoost not working after 2nd reboot.
1) Installed drivers
2) System rebooted
3) BassBoost works
4) System rebooted
5) BassBoost NOT WORKING!
... I press "reset to defaults" -> BassBoost can work again until I reboot the system...

Thank you very much for this fix Daniel. It works great now and has removed my frustration of having to reset my settings everytime I rebooted. It might seem like a small issue to some people, but I was ready to go out and buy a new sound card because I was getting tired of having to setup my sound all the time. Thanks again,Wookie

SB X-fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E Not working correctly help please

Hi i have a SB X-fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E card on my pc , i have currently installed windows 7 and for months now i am trying to make the card work .. I have a poor sound especially when there is bass, the card is not detected by windows 7, its detected as a high definition audio device , when i plug my mic is not found..and i cant use the creative applications because is says its not supported or i have no creative poroducts on my pc ... I have tried all the latest drivers and stil have the same problem.. HELP PLEASE !!

First, uninstall all creative drivers, console, from add/remove. Restart computer install: . X-Fi Xtreme Audio Series Driver .04.0000 from creative website. 2.X-Fi Xtreme Audio Pack .03.0002 from creative website. 3. install Creative Console from here: http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/PAX-Console-Launcher-V-0/td-p/549970 * PAX Console, Modded Original Console, but newer then Creative) or this creative console: CSL_PCAPP_LB_2_6_09.exe ( it creative original console) With this console you will have bass, treble, etc, BUT you need to open ConsoLCu.exe from Program Files/Creative/Console Launcher. ConsoLCu.exe have all the options you need. Creative forget about thier sound board, thier drivers, bass, treble, etc, about customers. If you install thier drivers from their website you will not have BASS, and also an crappy sound. You need to install Creative Console from google, or from http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/PAX-Console-Launcher-V-0/td-p/549970 to have bass, crystalizer, etc. I also have Creative Audio PCI-e board..... crappy chipset, just like Sb Li've 24 biti PCI.

Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI-Express) + Vista 32bit an media pla

Hi folks,Maybe someone here can help me with this issue, I recently bought a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7. Sound Card - OEM (PCI-Express), it arri'ved with the cd with software and drivers on it and i installed it into my vista 32bit without any problems.On rebooting my sound was working normally and as far as i could tell all was great untill that is i went to play some mp3 using windows media player, wmp kept telling me it couldnt play the file type then i tried to play a wma file an got the same thing, basically almost all audio types will no longer play in wmp. I rolled back the driver to use the microsoft driver (high defination audio device) and everything is playing in media player again.Only now i cant use the software suppiled with the card. Anyone have any idea how to use the creative driver and get wmp to play properly thanks in advance.
(in addition) after some messing around with various settings i discovered that this seems to be caused by the sb enhancements, when i disable them in speaker properties wmp plays as it should, althought i am rather disappointed that i have to disable the features on the card inorder to get it to work properly.
