Windows 7 64-bit X-Fi PCI-Express Audio console

Hello,
I have a SB PCI-Express Extreme audiocard, and I recently installed Windows 7. I have the basic driver and I do have sound, but the full control suite of software, that included the audio-console and startup-console I had in XP that allowed me full control of my card I do not. Which is rather annoying, because there's much more functionality there.
I tried installing the XP version of the control software, but it started with saying I have newer drivers installed, which made me cancel it as I figured it would be bad to install XP 32-bit drivers on W7 64-bit system.
So, I wanted to know if Creative is working on make W7 64-bit version of the control suite, and if so, whether there is an estimate on when it'll be completed/released? And if not, if someone knows a workaround to get the control suite of XP installed anyway without overwriting the drivers.

That is for your card, sorry about that. Then you can download and install the newest Creative driver on top of this package. You will first unpack Dan K.'s support pack, install it, reboot. Make sure your sound is functioning and that in Device Manager you have Creative X-FI, not high definition multimedia device. Then reboot again, and install the newest Creative Labs driver. Now you can configure your system for number of speakers, tone, bass, EQ, Crystalizer, etc.

  • Need Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-express Windows XP dri

    Hi
    It seems that I can't find any drivers for my X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express card anywhere.
    It's deeply frustrating as I can't use my audio card to anything without the proper drivers and software(the audio console).
    Is there any way of getting these drivers / software?
    Thanks in advance

  • 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.

  • 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 (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.

    Thanks for the update although this I had personally worked this out myself. Surely this card is to be released globally soon as it has started to pop up in stores available for pre-order. Any ideas on the release date and what will be the differences?
    I have tried to compare it to the <span class="text">Fatalty version to find no difference other than cosmetic. I even went into the FAQ page only to get this:

  • 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

  • Sound Blaster PCI Express - No option for AUDIO CREATION mode.

    I need help. ?I purchased another computer from Dell, with a Sound Blaster board just as I have done with three other computers. ?This makes four.
    I ordered it with the Sound Blaster board because of the THREE MODES, Entertainment Mode, Gaming Mode, and Audio Creation Mode. ?The Audio Creation mode is really what I want because it allows to add reverb.
    So when I get this latest Dell with the Sound Blaster card it is a
    Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express
    The Volume control does not show the three modes. GAMING, ENTERTAINMENT, and AUDIO Creation. ?It only shows the ENTERTAINMENT mode.
    So I thought perhaps those were enhancements that had to be installed from the Creative Sound Blaster CD that Dell provides. ?I put the CD in the dri've, and it goes into install mode and then when you start the install it says do you want to add additional software to which I answer YES.
    Then it says install your CD in the CD dri've, which of course it is already in there. ?The CD looks funky. ?No scratches, it is new, but it has an uncharacteristic distortion on the data side so it is probably bad.
    I download the drivers off the Creative site and it says, you have a newer version already installed on your computer.
    I have called Dell 5 times over the course of 2.5 hours being disconnected all 5 times after speaking to people with extremely thick accents that know as much about computers as I know about brain surgery.
    BOTTOM LINE
    1.Does the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express have the ability to support the three modes: ?Entertainment, Gaming, and AUDIO CREATION.
    If so, how do I get it to workHow do I get a new CD
    2. If this card does not support the three modes, what card doesThe Sound Blaster cards in my other three Dells all support these three modes.
    Thanks!
    Doc from Las Vegas

    No the Xtreme Audio doesn't not support the three modes, it only has Entertainment mode. Any X-Fi card that is not a Xtreme Audio does support the three modes.

  • E-MU 0404 PCIe Digital Audio System for Windows server

    E-MU 0404 PCIe Digital Audio System for Windows server
    Is it possible use E-MU 0404 PCIe under Windows Server 2008 or 2012?

    For windows Server 2008 and Server 2012 you may need enable Desktop Experience Feature
    The Desktop Experience Feature enables a bunch of stuff that is by default present on a desktop OS. Most importantly it includes Themes, Windows Media player and the Aero related features. You will have to enable it form the Server Manager. The "Turn Windows features on or off" / "Add remove windows components" has all been rolled into the Server Manager now.
    Server Manager > Features > Desktop Experience
    Installing the Desktop Experience feature does not enable them. You have to manually set them up.
    After that Windows Server 2008 == Vista x64
    Windows Server 2008 R2 == Windows 7 x64
    Windows Server 2012 == Window 8 x64
    So just use the appropriate desktop drivers - that are available

  • SoundFX suddenly not working with PCI-Express SB Titanium and Windows 7 HP 64

    Hi guys,
    I bought myself a PCI-Express Sounblaster Titanium bulk last friday.
    I downloaded some drivers (sorry, I have no idea what Version?) and an Update to the latest official Version (2.7.0007). When I first tried tu use VoiceFX it worked and I was astonished. Its seemed a real cool gimmick.
    Strangely, when I tried it again the next day the VoiceFX buttons where still there under the Audio Config thingie, but my voice did not change anymore when I chose for ex. Robot or Ork. It did not matter what I chose, my voice always stayed normal.
    Since then I've deen doing nothing else than to deinstall, reinstall drivers, deleting driver traces, trying again. My worst case was that the VoiceFX did not show at all anymore, my best case was as described above.
    I even treid the new beta Drivers.
    Does anyone have a solution?
    If not, can anyone tell me what dependancies VoiceFX has? Is it enough to install only the drivers or does it need something else as well?
    With which Driver Version does it definitely work under Win 7 64?
    Oh yeah, I have I microphone which I can switch to Mono or Stereo, does it only work with one of the two? Mine was mostly in Stereo mode. (It comes from a company (dunno which one) thats got nothing to do with computers, games or creative, it's one of those Microphones you connect to your tie).
    Thanks@all

    Weird... I changed nothing and yeterday it worked...
    I just understand this, but what the hell?

  • 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".

    You have to install the rest of the software(s) for the sound card. The software is (if it is with the installation CD, though) called "Creative Smart Recorder" or something like that.
