Hi,I want to purchase a new sound card. but i am confused with the wide range of creative products. my purpose of purchasing new sound card is music & games.please can u suggest which card i should purchase. i have creative 6. sound system. these are the list of sound card please suggest me which one to buy :-.X-Fi Elite Pro2.X-Fi Fatalty3.X-Fi Platinum4.X-Fi XtremeMusic5.Audigy 46.Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS.
I want a sound card which has digital output, so that i can upgrade my speaker later.
ThanksManish

Audigy 2 ZS provides best cost/performance ratio. It is suitable for all modern games and delviers great gaming audio experience. X-Fi is waste of money. These card are good, yes but too expensi've and are not so powerful as Creative claims. Oh, and they come with awful software with no updates. Nevermind crappy MediaSource...
X-RAM is useless. There is not a single one evidence of claimed by Creative Labs performance gain when X-RAM is being used. Correct me with a link for any review if you like. Oh, and good luck with looking for one.Message Edited by crazyandlazy on -24-200606:29 PM

  • Want to buy a sound card (x fi seri

    i am a newbie and just have my own first desktop pc recently and now i was out of budget to purchase a new sound card for my system ,i would glad if there anyone offer a second hand sound card
    message me please .........

    ... buying a sound card 'on the cheap' sounds great, but if you can't use it, it only means you're out of pocket less... it doesn't mean you're still not out of pocket 'some'
    I've got an X-FI Fatality Pro card, spent more than $00 dollars on it, and can't even use it in Vista becuase they won't release working drivers for it.
    If they expect me every to spend another cent on their products they're going to support their products in Vista.

    I thought I'd share my most recent visitation of the digital poltergeist that is the Audigy 2 SB024x.
    I was looking around my WinXP system panel and noticed that some program had changed the PERFORMANCE->ADVANCED->MEMORY USAGE from PROGRAMS (default) to SYSTEM CACHE.
    Keep in mind as I detail this to you that this build is only a week old, and I've installed very few programs on it, drivers and test utilities mostly...
    Anyway, I change the setting back to the default value (PROGRAMS) and hit OKAY. That very instant, the machine reported detecting new hardware, an Audigy! Given that I already had an A2 installed and mostly functional, this came as quite a revelation.
    I checked the Device Manager, and sure enough, there it was. An Audigy was indicated as having been installed in the place of the newer model.
    I reboot the computer, and when I revisit the Device Manager, the Audigy2 is back, BUT there is a problem (ROLMAO), the card's firewire adapter is all of the sudden marked as broken, so I uninstall it and reboot.
    The machine goes through its startup, and I check the firewire and its okay, NOW, in Device Manager. Good, me thinks.
    Then I go back and run 3DMark03, looking for my error message: FMOD error in FSOUND_SetPaused: Not enough memory
    The benchmark completes without incident three times and the problem is solved. No more messing with my memory timings or sound accelartion. Hurrah!
    In closing, I want to apologize to anyone whose patience that I may have tested with this mini-testament.
    I have no idea why this series of cards http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=290217 is so difficult to configure for the K8N, but its really kind of a nightmare, IMO, and MSI really needs to take a look at it.
    Please guys, there is a problem here, so would you please check it out for us.
    Thanks,
    Moe

  • Enabling same Line out on my sound card (XFI Music)

    3Enabling same Line out on my sound card (XFI Music) Hello all,
    This must be possible! My main problem here is that I cannot find anyway to clone my main output, let me explain.
    I have my digital piano plugged into Line in
    I have my headphones plugged into the first Line out (these work fine)
    I have my TV (plugged in via 3.5mm jack) plugged into line out 2 (the one next to the green one)
    My TV is setup as a second monitor so I can watch films etc. All I want to do is get what I hear in my headphones on the television at the same time. I don't want to have to plug my TV into the green lineout everytime I want to use it.
    While we're on the subject, is there anyway I can remap the inputs, at the moment if I wanted to plug in my digital piano and a mic at the same time I can't. The irony is I upgraded from my absolute rubbish Realtek AC97 onboard audio device which could do all of the above. Surely this is possible?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Trinitrotoluene

  • Duriong Voice Chat Voice is not Receiving from Creative Sound Card but going correct

    Hi!
    I have recently faced a problem in my Creative Sounce Card. When i play a sound, no? sound is coming from sound card, No?error message is coming but monitor screen is displaying the sound animations in?Windows media player. I have also tested my speakers & connections and no problem found in it. I also changed the Creative Sound Card Software's settings to default but all in vain. Besides when i?unchecked?the check box ("Only Show Digital Sound") in the Creative Sound Card Software, the analog music is being received, but it is only music without any human voice. The same problem is during voice chat.
    Plz help me in this regard.
    Thanks in advance.

    There is no confusion (anymore) I'm just trying to get the word out that nobody wants to supprt these OEM cards. Not you and not Dell. Does Dell even have the rights to redistibute the apps to work with there versions of your cards? Card works, Drivers Work, No ap
    ps.
    .see my delima? Just a heads up to anyone else with this problem. I've looked to no avail for a updated set of apps for this OEM card. Really kinda anoyed by this. I mean why can't creative support there own card. I know dell bought it, but it is creative and you made money from it support it. Seems pretty cut and dried to me. Digrunteld Axe

  • Creative sound cards and iTunes static

    Okay, after having looked through the messages here it looks like everyone who has said they are having a problem with the static/audio distortion (unless the volume slider is set to 100%) are using Creative sound cards.
    It looks like a number of us are even using the latest drivers and that doesn't seem to help.
    Just to get an idea -- is anyone having this problem and NOT running a Creative sound card?

    I have an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook, and it was doing the static/distortion thing after I upgraded. What I did to fix it was to set QuickTime to output sound as 16-bit instead of 24-bit. It's really funny because the soundcard is set to 24-bit mode...

  • Programmatic Control of X-FI ??? // Two Creative Sound Cards on Same PC ???

    The pc about below is currently running WinXP, but I plan to replace it with a Vista based machine in early?200.
    1] Can someone please point me in the right directions? I would like to use something like an API or some other interface method to control the volume level of the X-FI usb device. Hopefully to be able to control the volume of?each of the 5 channels independently as well as the master volume. In other words,?have a dotNET program (or VB script, etc etc) that will interface with the X-FI via something running on the same pc. I would prefer it to interface with one of the SoundBlaster or Creative softwares so as to not reinvent any wheels, but that is an option. The simpler the better. I don't need anything fancy and probably just the controlling the volume?levels will work fine.
    Alternately, it might be possible to control the X-FI with an IR remote, but I am not aware of IR functionality in? the X-FI.
    2] I am also wondering: How do I run two different Creative sound cards on the same pc without issues? The rational for this is that I want to improve the sound quality of our home theater pc to 7. Creative quality level, but I need the X-FI to control audio for the home automation software that runs on the same pc. The home automation software generates Text To Speech audio which does not need to flow through the high quality Creative sound card. I was hoping to use the X-FI in a simple mode to route the TTS speech audio out to 4 or 5 sets of speakers as monaural voice. During different occupancy times and night time, its very useful to lower the volume level (especially upstairs when sleeping).
    I have a hunch the X-FI would be a truly awesome device to use for this purpose. There are many other people who would like to do this same thing. It would be nice to have a device like the X-FI that is widely available.
    Thanks much for any and all help. Sorry if this is so 'newbie', but I just don;t know how to start.

    Information is scarce for end of service life products, you might want to read about the specs here. Alternatively you might want to consider this model instead but you may need to do some searching since it's not available in the UK online store.

  • A problem with ALL creative sound cards i am hav

    All creative sound cards that i've used, three i think in the past year. SB Li've, SB Audigy 2 ZS, and the Audigy 2 Zs Platinum Pro. Every time i connect speakers or headphones to the jack, i get really REALLY low sound output, also before windows loads or shuts down i hear a "bump" coming from my speakers/headphones.... I have no idea whats going on....
    Specs are:
    p4. 3.0
    DFI Lanparty 875 rev. B
    gig corsair pc4000 dual channel
    2x raptor raid 0
    SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
    ATI Radeon x800pro
    Headphones i use are bose acoustic 2 headphones
    Speakers are logitech x-530
    If anyone has had this happen to them before or if anyone has any possible remedies for this I would really appreciate, if this doesnt help im done with creative sound cards =/
    [edit]: forgot to mention this is only for the audio jacks on the sound card itself, on the ZS platinum pro, when i connect to the jack on the hub, the sound is alrightMessage Edited by mrkuku on 06-2-2005 06:36 AM

    figured out my problem, my built in sound card drivers were conflicting with the creative drivers. Thought that if i turned off the built in sound card from bios that i wouldn't need to delete the drivers also. Thanks for any that read this and tried to figure it out. Now its working like a charm.

  • Can windows xp use a different sound card for itunes - I want to use a sound card for itunes and another for all other apps

    Can Windows XP use a different sound card for itunes - I want to use a sound card for itunes and another for all ther apps

    To the best of my knowledge, Windows is not capable of setting a specific sound card based on the app being used, it's all or nothing.
    Try a google search or search the Microsoft site.

  • I want to use the sound card with LabView

    Hi. Who can help me, I want to use the sound card with LabView, I have found the function but I can't use it. Thanks.

    Christi,
    In LabVIEW 6.1 I found some examples they use those sound VIs. They are located in \examples\sound folder. Those examples should give you a good overview how to use the VIs.
    Hope this helps
