Windows 7 64bit and Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium - No rear sound

As the title says I have a sound blaster x-fi titanium running on a windows 7 64bit box. I have downloaded all the latest drivers and tools from creative. The issue is no matter what I do I cannot get the 5. surround working. I have the front 3 speakers working and I can even get it to double the two front side speakers to the rear, but not true 5.. I have tried both DD li've and DTS. I have an Onkyo HT-R550 receiver that supports both DD and DTS and I'm connected over a digital optical cable. Trying to figure this one out!
I've gone through all the modes in the creative audio software and tried all the surround modes on the receiver.
Please help

Ok. I have actually formatted my hard dri've to fix another windows and I'm back where I was. I'm testing using the speaker page in the console. I get great sound from all 3 front speakers and my sub. What I've found when clicking the back two I will get a very quiet but clear test voice through both rear speakers, no matter which side I picked. Also the bass portion of the test comes through the sub as normal. I can't seem to get the rear speakers to test any louder.
I did the surround sound speaker test and it all sounds good (without the PC involved). Also my PS3 plays great surround sound through it using the same optical cable.
I also tried your suggestion with no improvement.
What's next?

Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series and Win 7 64Bit

Now that Win 7 SP is out, i am planning on moving over to the Win 7 64Bit OS.
Whats the best way to setup Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Champion Series card software setup.
Is there a DVD i could download or be sent for Win 7.
Whats the best way to proceed...
Thanks
red

OK I got it!!
I put in a Price Alert at the egg and got it for 09.00/with FREE shipping so I'm stoked!! it DOES have a yellow sticker on the box that says "works with Windows 7" so I guess this is all I need.
Are there ANY suggestions on how to go about installing this in Windows 7 64bit, I want the front panel to work and will use it for movies music and mostly gaming.
what about Windows 7 installing the card as a standard sound device at boot, is there a way to prevent this if not how is this fixed?
Should I use the newest beta drivers? or wait till I see if I have any problems with the sound not working?
what about the user made drivers I have seen around these forums, I know they are most likely not supported but how about functionality? would they be better?
thanks for any suggestions.

Hello,
Just wanted to ask about the Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium, it's got everything I need/want. (Put off in the past with other ones)

Thank you.

it will cost 300$ in USA...(i think)
Where is the frontal connection:
SPDIF (in/out)?
Line In 2?
Midi (in/out)?
Remote Control?
300$ for this card? that?s funny.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium stopped working

If anyone can please help me fix this that would be great
Specs: Windows 7 64bit, Steel Series 5Hv2, Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium, need more info let me know
It worked perfect when I got the pc built 4 months ago then just the other day when I tried to run skype it didn't work with skype so I messed with settings now the mic just doesn't work at all, I've done a ssytem restore, I've reformated, updated the drivers, put settings to default, I even let Dell look and they couldn't figure it out, I check the plugs and it's in the mic in part, how could this happen it worked perfectly before. If anyone has any clue how to get windows 7 to read the mic from the sound card?

So out of the 22 people who looked at my post none of you know how to help me get my mic working, that's pretty cool

Can breakaway box from Audigy Platinum eX connect to Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD?

I have been happily using the Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum eX for a decade or so but it is now time to build a new box. The Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD seems to be the card for me and it does have a multi-pin connection that seems to match the one on the legacy card. The legacy card has the best external box I have yet seen, the perfect combination of inputs, outputs, and controls and I would dearly love to keep using it. Does anyone know if the two items are compatible?

Thanks, I was afraid that might be the case. Would the legacy card work with Windows 7 perhaps or has the audio stack changed too drastically from Windows XP to Windows 7? I am loathe to give up this breakaway box, I have never seen another with this many i/o ports and features.

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:

I am sorry but I seriously do not find that helpful in the least bit.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium

What kind of idiots run creative, I thought I would give Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium a try what a mistake. The help on this web site is crap. Try to get a manual u cant. Then the stupig how to when you hit disagree it has a problem. Nothing works including the card. I would whip a creative mother**bleep**ers ass. And I will register over and over just to post this.
JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK JUNK

Did u try the manual? It does not work the chm file. I am not an idiot I have at least 9 computers in the house at this time. I delivered 3 boxes of parts to the local high school. Thos is the biggest POS computer hardware that I have ever purchased. My last three cards that I had workrd flawlessly. Turtle Beach DDL and the generic VIA chipset that comes with the MB. It is working but is creating way to much lag in Quake 3 the only game I play.
Its a shame some guy hacked the creative drivers and made them better. Shows you what kind of talent creative has or the lack of. I would not buy another creative product as long as I live and I buy a lot of pc parts. I am fixing to uninstall this card and would love to shove it up Fatilitys ass. The guy made it on quake and his name is on a POS that causes the system to lag. Not to say what kind of crap creative wants you to install. Why not just a clean drive with a console? To simple I guess.
Let me know if you get the manual to load. I would like to have it downloaded to refrence but thats to simple for the creative idiots. I can no longer keep paper copies of manuals I keep them on the pc for refrence. Seriously try the manual. It opens and the directory is there but know data in the main area. What a joke.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium & Audigy 2 Platium

I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium that I replaced a Audigy 2 Platium with and was wondering if I could us the Audigy 2 5.25" dri've with the X-Fi card?? They have both have the 40pin ribbon connector but I wanted to make sure before I did it.
Thanks!

Yes you can. I actually used the very first li've dri've or I/O bay with my Audigy 2 and my Fatality Pro. In some cases not all features will work, such as the older style midi in and out ports found on some bays, but everything else will work.

Sound Blaster Live 24.bit LD No sound from online TV or Ra

[color="#ff0000"]I had the new Sound Blaster Li've 24.bit installed in my computer, at first I had trouble getting sound out of my back two speakers but after the fourth day, I finally got that figured out. Now I am having problems with my tv and radio online. I am using winFM 5.3 and I can not get any sound though my speakers. I get sound from Windows Media Player or either CD/DVD player. I know it has to be something really simple but I have yet to find the problem. Can someone please help me.Message Edited by determinedone on 03-02-20060:2 AM

Does the software have any options in relation to audio, such as selecting the audio device you want to use?
If Windows Media Player and other applications work, then it's likely the card is working fine. Check another application if you can, such as WinAmp, to see if that works.

Creative Sound blaster X-Fi Titanium and Logitech z-5500 5.1 speakers

Hi All:
I have had the Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium and Logitech z-5500 connected to my HTPC system for some time now. I have the two connected with analog cables and an optical cable. Unfortunately, I have never been able to set the optical connection working. The only mode the speakers will work in is analog.
Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions regarding this?
Thanks,
Harold

I have the same card and the same speaker.
You need to enable DTS or DDL encoder in the Creative Control Panel.
Otherwise you can play only native digital track like DTS or DDL from DVDs or BDs (in this case you MUST select Digital output device as the default device in the windows audio control panel)..

7.1 audio in Games with Optical out/Sound Blaster X-FI Titanium

Hi All,
I just recently upgraded my speaker setup from inspire 7800 (which still worked great except losing sound on one of the rear speakers every now and then ... something wrong in the sub i think). So I went online, and surprisingly and sadly no one sells 7. computer speakers anymore, as to why that is a mystery to me.
Anyways, now I am running a Onkyo Home theatre in a box, which comes with a 7. setup with a receiver that i thought would solve my problem, but what happens now in games is I can only get 5. sound, and nothing through the side speakers, actually, it puts the sound through my side speakers and calls them the back channel. Currently it is hooked up from the X-fi Titanium via TOSLINK to the receiver, and I am choosing 7. speakers for my output in the Audio Console, and have tried both DTS and Dolby Digital Li've modes without success to get 7. for games (That's why I bought this setup!). I have a sad feeling it's only going to work with 5. sound for games (It outputs to 7. for music no problem). Is there any fix I can turn on to make true 7. audio go from the PC into my receiver and get outputted properly for games?
I also just wanted to say I'm not sure why 7. speakers seem to be getting shunned from all the?manufacturers, but it's sad that I can use 6 year old technology and make this work, and I assumed that with the new tech of digital output, I should be able to get the same result, but somehow, I can't get 7. sound for games.
Any thoughts anyone would have would be great. I'm thinking im just going to hook this up to my TV upstairs and plug back in my Inspire 7800 through analog and keep using them until they die fully, which I hope doesnt happen for a long time.

So in an interesting turn of events, I went to plug my old 7. inspire speakers in, and the problem i was having with low audio moved from a back speaker to my front speaker. So after testing moving centre speaker to the left input , and that worked for both, i moved them back, and now all of my speakers work fine! I was doing this before I bought the Onyko setup, and it wasn't making a difference at all, I was still getting low sound from the back speaker.. Strange. You've got to love technology. Well, no loss, I needed a good home theatre setup anyway. If anyone could still answer my question that would be great though?

Sound Blaster X-fi Titanium PCI Express Probelm

I've tried support like the forum suggests but nothing ever happened, so I misewell post here and hope for the best.
I have had nothing but problems ever since I installed the card. My main problem is that for some reason whenever I am on say teamspeak, ventrilo, or searching the web my sound goes out randomly. Now, If i open up windows media player i can still listen to music and all that. The only thing that seems to get affected from the sound going out is the three things I just listed. Now, to fix the problem I have to open up my volume panel and switch the mode from gaming to entertainment and than back to gaming. Also, randomly after a restart it won't recognize the soundcard, ill have to pull it out and put it back in the slot for it to actually pick it up. But that only happens maybe once a week. The sound going out happens multiple times a day.
Ohh by the way, all the drivers are up to date.

this happened to me when I put the card in a slot that shares with my network card. I have a network card that is integrated with my motherboard but it does share resources with my first PCIX slot. you can put your card in another slot and it will work, whether that slot be a X, X4, X8 or X6 slot. Try removing the drivers only for the card first, shutdown, and switch slots, let the card be redetected, and then reinstall your drivers. The card showed up for me fine where it was, but it did drop out, per se, several times, until I shuffled slots.
