Why does the Xi-Fi have so many terrible proble

I'm confused. I thought the Xi-FI was supposed to be an evolution that would help eliminate the old issues inherient in the Li've! and Audigy series (crackling, popping, etc).
Instead it appears to have gotten much worse. What's most confusing is in an era where people don't need to buy an add-on sound card, it seems Creative would have done much more extensi've testing and driver development than is apparent.
Does anyone know what happened? I'm still interested in the Xi-Fi because I don't like onboard audio solutions (they eat too many cpu cycles), and Rome Total War crackles/pops with my Audigy2 ZS. I want crystal clear sound/music.
Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on where the Xi-Fi is headed and advice for soemone like myself who wants a brillaint gaming experience. please keep the flaming to a minimum... thanks.

That is very sad to hear (problems you and everyone else is having). Now maybe I need to consider a mobo with good onboard sound in case Creative can't come through. Could you do me a huge favor? If you put your Audigy in your system after the wipe... will you poast back in this thread if the issue was resolved?
And where did your get your card at? I don't know of too many places will restock a computer part for credit... which is part of the reason I'm so concerned about trying the Xi-Fi (not to mentinoed the heartaches and time caused by system troubles due to a sound card).

    I don't mean to drive a Marine crazy, but there is no such thing as a standard keyboard. Especially tiny ones. Looks at a phone key pad, and then look at a calulator keypad. It is flipped top to bottom.
    JajLvr, if it drives you crasy, then get a BT keyboard.

    Agreed.  Even the iPhone has multiple built-in keyboards to choose from.

    Why does the apple calendar not have a four weekly. This would be a great help.

  • Why does the lion logo have spots on his nose?  I don't think lions EVER have spots like this.  If photoshopped, why?

    why does the lion desktop pic (a beautiful lion for sure) have spots on his nose....they never do!  This just ruins a beautiful animal face...why not just leave it alone? Looks like a bad photoshop job...done by someone who has never seen a real lion.....but why?

    I though you were joking.
    Anyway, do a quick search of "Lion" in google images
    I see spots.
    Here's the desktop photo:
    Interesting though, it looks like the spots were removed in the photo used in the App store:

  • Why does the iPhone not have expandable memory (i.e. MicroSD Chips)?

    I know that many phones come with a MicroSD slot to come with the phone, but why does Apple NOT provide a slot for the iPhone. I would like to know the answer to this hardware puzzle, because many competing phones have these advantages. The only upside I see in the iPhone is web versatility and stability, and that's diminishing very very fast.

    Why close it? Some people might be interested in reading it.
    No, posting on a site for a different product saying your product doesn't meet my needs make it like a Surface is trolling. Chiding someone who made a comment 2 years ago who isn't even here is trolling.
    Basically what you did was buy a product that you knew didn't have 2 important features that you think are essential and now you want Apple to add that. And even if they did add that then you would be posting about the fact that you can't copy anything to the USB or microSD device and you can't copy apps, documents, etc. Which is because iDevices don't have an accessible file system. And you've already mentioned you want that. Due to security reasons it isn't going to happen.
    What you've said you need is a table that is a full computer. You need to buy the Surface Pro (skip the RT, there are limitations you will not be happy with). It will give you a USB port, accessories for a microSD and a fully accessible file system.
    The good news is Apple's devices hold resale value far, far better than any other comparable devices. So sell yours and get a Surace Pro. You will be glad you did.

  • Why does my ipad 2 have so many stability problems since ios7?

    Since "upgrading" to ios7 my ipad has effectively not worked. There's no app that doesn't randomly crash, games, safari, maps, youtube all just shut down and return to the home screen. None of this happened before the update, which I put off because so many people told me it was rubbish, and it looks suspicially like the update is designed to make my hardware obsolete before it's time. This situation is infuriating me regularly. I can't play a single song or read an article without applications crashing. If this is the way apple works, I'm definitely buying a samsung tablet and phone to replace this. I'm astounded that Safari hasn't crashed while i write this.

    What I would suggest is that you do a full back up of your device. Then go into the settings and 'erase all content and settings'. Which puts your iPad back as if it was new out of the box (you'll still have iOS7 but it's like doing a fresh install)
    Then restore your ipad from the backup that you just made.
    It's possible that during the upgrade something got messed up, which is causing the crashing. Starting over may help because it'll write over any errors.
    Just make sure you do the backup because when you erase it, that's just what it does, erases everything. Anything not backed up will be lost.

  • Why does the flash video have much higher contrast when the window is maximized?

    When using Mozilla Firefox, any flash videos like those on youtube, when maximized, shows much higher contrast. The video becomes so dark that it is pretty difficult to view it. When zoomed out, everything looks normal.
    The work around I ended up using, was to maximize the window using ctrl++ option without using the "fullscreen" button. It is a hassle, but it works. Does anyone know why this happens?
    I use Mozilla FF 19.0.2. Btw, this doesn't happen on Chrome or IE.

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors]

  • Why does the iPad 3 have so much lag on ios7?

    My iPad 3 has so much lag on ios7 i cant believe apple would pass this i have restored twice and set up as new ipad and still does not fix the lag. It takes at least 10 seconds to change a wallpaper even rotating the ipad lags also safari is really bad wish i didn't update now. Ios7 is smooth as butter on my iPhone 5 how could apple get it so wrong on the iPad! There is alot of reports of ios7 being laggy on the iPad 4 and mini aswell. I cant seem to get rid of the lag no matter what i try does anyone have any suggestions? Apple?    

    Hello,
    It is luckily that an iOS 7 update will be coming out this week. As it's 7.0, there is a lot of bug so just wait to you update for a 2 week. Try restarting your iPad by holding the power button and the home button down at the same time till you see a apple, that will help.
    Please reply if you have any more questions.
    Kind Regards,

  • Why does the ipad not have the apps wheather and stocks

    The iPad doesn't have stocks and weather

    All we, your fellow users, can tell you is that it's because Apple chose not to include them. There are a multitude of such apps in the iTunes Store, though.

  • Why does the iPad not have an Apple Store app?

    I was wondering, why has Apple not made an Apple Store app for the iPad yet? It's been a while now that the iPad has been out and the iPhone has had it but why not make one for iPad too? It could be designed correctly to be a lot more user friendly on an iPad then the website in my opinion...

  • Why does the pictures that have an effect turns back to normal when I open it?

    When I open the pictures that has an effect it turns back on being a normal photo. Does it means that my phone has a virus?

    No you can't get any viruses. I take it's the default camera app that came with the phone that's not saving the applied filters before the photo is taken? Are you opening these photos in the Photos app on your phone or after downloading them on your computer?

  • Why does the work table have a 0 in the prefix? C$_0

    My phyiscal schema specifies that the mask (by default) should be C$. Does anyone know where the 0 is coming from?

    Hi Alastair,
    I'm using LKM File to Oracle (External Table), setting LKM option DELETE_TEMPORARY_OBJECTS to False, and I want to be able to refer to the created temporary table, $C_#table_name later in my package. However, I need from an application code standpoint to be able to guarantee the name of the External Table, i.e. what that # will be. Whether I can select it from a call method or from the repository or something; I just need to make sure what that number is always going to be so that my downstream processes don't fail in the reference. So what did you end up doing?

  • Why does the games leaderboard have today's and yesterday's scores?

    Solitaire city TriPeaks ahas just started using the games centre leaderboard. The old one used to switch 'days' at end of the day pacific time.

    The message you are seeing is telling you that you do not have enough storage on your device.  That has nothing to do with iCloud storage.
    iCloud storage is storage on Apple's servers hosting your online iCloud account.  The storage on your device is local and cannot be expanded - it is whatever you bought with the device (16GB, 32GB, 64GB).
    You need to delete things on your device to increase free space on the device itself.
    For example, if you have a lot of pictures in your camera roll, you need to sync those to your computer's photo management software and storage, then delete them from you iPad.
    You can delete apps you no longer need or use.  You can delete messages you no longer read or use.
    Bottom line is you need to remove stuff from the iPad itself to free up more space.

  • Why does the 5c only have 5.9 storage???

    IIt is advertised as 8!!!! Unable to have the new operating system 8!!!

    Hey there Pammie76,
    It sounds like you are unable to download and install the iOS software to your device directly because of a prompt saying you do not have enough space. According to the following article, the next thing to do would be to use iTunes to update your phone instead. 
    Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update
    Not enough space to update
    If your device doesn't have enough space to download and install the update, you can use iTunes to update your device.
    It is also always a good idea to back up your data before updating your software anywhere, whether its an iOS device, or computer:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
