X-Fi Elite Pro help plea

I've just got an X-Fi Elite Pro, i slotted it into a spare PCI slot and booted into Windows XP.
Windows loaded fine, I inserted the driver disk and installed all the software on it. I restarted.
I get a window pop up saying "Multimedia Audio Controller" detected. I follow the messages to automatically find and install the drivers, after a while i get a message saying "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the neccessary software."
Can anyone help me on this issue please?
My X-Fi card has the code "SB0550" written on it btw.

I've just been looking at the Device ID and the devices supported by the Creative drivers they have.
My X-Fi Elite Pro defines itself as:
PCI\VEN_0&DEV_0005&SUSBYB_002002&REV_00\4&CF8C54&0 &08F0
The hardware itself is listed as:
PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SUBSYS_002002&REV_00
PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SUBSYS_002002
and X-Fi devices are defined by the driver as:
%XFi.DeviceDesc%=XFi_Device,PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SU BSYS_00202
%XFi.DeviceDesc%=XFi_Device,PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SU BSYS_00302
%XFi.DeviceDesc%=XFi_Device,PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SU BSYS_002202
%XFi.DeviceDesc%=XFi_Device,PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SU BSYS_002302
%XFi.DeviceDesc%=XFi_Device,PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SU BSYS_002402
%XFi.DeviceDesc%=XFi_Device,PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SU BSYS_002502
%XFi.DeviceDesc%=XFi_Device,PCI\VEN_02&DEV_0005&SU BSYS_002602
It's close but not the same - so where do i get the drivers for my specific card?

  • Help connect X-fi Elite Pro with DDTS-100 and Gigaworks s750

    Hi,
    I purchased a brand new Gigaworks s750 speakers system, DDTS-100 decoder and X-fi Elite Pro. I connected the DDTS-100 and Elite Pro using Optical Fibre output from the audio console of X-fi Elite Pro to the optical digital input of DDTS-100. With the cables supplied with s750, I connected it to the Decoder DDTS-100. The problem is I am not getting any sound from the rear speakers and the front speakers. Only the centre speakers and the side speakers are producing sound. I could hear loud hissing sound and very very low volume of the music from the front speakers and no sound from the rear speakers. I can hear good quality sound from the centre speakers and average quality sound from the side speakers. What could possibly have gone wrong with my setup ? Somebody please help me. Thanx in advance.

    Hi Richie,
    Thanq for your response. But unlike what you have mentioned, ("what may be happining is the soundcard is decoding the signal and then the ddts is trying to decode it with disatrous results"), In my setup the signal is not getting decoded two times, once by Soundcard and once by the DDTS-100. As I have mentioned that I am taking out an Optical Signal from the sound card to the DDTS-100, the signal comming out from the sound card to the DDTS is Encoded signal only. So there doesnt arise a chance that the signal is getting decoded twice. Can you think of any other reason why my setup is not working? Please let me know.
    regards,
    Rahul M

  • X-Fi Elite PRO and Vista: dropouts and no sound. Only Changing mode in Audio-Console helps

    Hi... Please help me. I have an X-Fi Elite Pro and I am experiencing a very strange problem in Vista 32. Before using Vista, I had no problems at all in XP. Sometimes when I listen to the music (Winamp) and then after listening the music start watching movie, the sound dissappears. I mean the EQ of Winamp freezes and there is no sound at all
    !!! Only if I switch audio-console (in Configuration menu) to Games mode (or an other one) and back, the sound comes back... Sometimes it happens, sometimes not. It is very strange. Please, do you know a solution for that?!

    In no way a 300W Power Supply has enough power for all your stuff.
    2 HDD's, a power-hungry Pentium, a xfi card, dvd burner and many other stuff ...
    Problems like this can happen then if your power supply has not enough power to handle all this stuff.
    Get a better powersupply that can handle your stuff and I am sure it will work again. In a few cases its also possible that YOU damage your hardware on this way, if it can not get enough stable power, it might mess up your hardware. I also already blowed up a harddisk one day because I have connected too much stuff to one cable. I had 3 HDD's, Mainboard, Lights, Fans and DVD connected to one single cable. All devices there did not get enough power, harddisks made crazy sounds (on/off/on/off very fast) and after that one of my HDDs was bad.
    But no ... you can't blame anyone for this. In 99% a bad power supply should not damagae your hardware, it will just make sure it does not work anymore. Since you installed that hardware, YOU are responsible for this. If a hardware-dealer would have to install this card for you, it would be his fault, but now its yours.
    BTW: Why do you expect that a 300W suppy is enough!? I mean really ... think about it! See what todays PS can do, take a look how much your pentium already needs ... There are at least 00W gone for your CPU, another 00 for your Videocard and just 00 left for ALLLL the other devices like your harddisks (20-30W each one), DVD, mainboard, soundcard ... In no way this will be enough. You must have missed the last 5 years ...
    BTW: I don't think that the software audio console would not work when not having connected the y-power cable. I forget that cable too one time. My console did still work, just in games I got some strange problems a lot of times (no more sound for -2 minutes, crackling and other poroblems) which got solved after I plugged in the power-cable to soundcard.Message Edited by Homey-GER on 0-7-200705:42 AM

  • X-fi elite pro/guitar port set up help nee

    Hi people, does anyone know if it's possible to run my guitar port thru my elite pro soundcard, and if so how do I go about connecting the two? Perhaps I'm missing something blindingly obvious, but I just can't seem too figure this one out.
    Any help received with thanks.

    Thanks for your help Sirhunter. Perhaps I could have explained my problem a bit more clearly: I can get a signal into the computer no problem; if I switch to tuner mode on Guitar Port it is obvious that there is input. Getting sound out is a tad more tricky. The normal route would be to unplug the speaker wire from the analogue out on the soundcard, run a cable from the analogue out to the input at the rear of the Guitar Port and then plug the speakers into the headphone socket of the Guitar Port and everything is hunky dory. The trouble in my case is that I have 7. speakers that take up three analogue outputs, and there is only one input on the back of the GP.
    Is there a way round this, or would it be a better option to buy some amp modelling software and go direct through the breakout box and bypass the GP completely? Again, thanks for any assistance or advice.

  • Help with Optical Audio, w/X-Fi Elite Pro, and Logitech Z-5

    Hi,
    I need help with optical audio on my X-Fi Elite Pro, and Logitech Z-5500 speakers. I have everything connected, and sound comes out, but NO 5. Surround. This is pissing me off beyond belief. I have it all connected, and set to 5. Surround, and on my Logitech's I have it set to opical in, and have tried ALL effects, stereo, strereo 2x,[Dolby Sign] PL II Movie, [Dolby Sign] PL II Music. I have tried the sound card set for an external decoder, and the sound cards' decoder, and tried both with all optical settings on the sound card. It doesn't give me surround with optical... And I would REALLY appreciate help.
    My drivers are up to date.
    Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!!!

    Except if you send DD/DTS multichannel sound to your receiver, you'll not have surround sound with digital connection. did you read the stikies?

  • Help! with X-fi Elite Pro 1. Toslink issue. 2. Phono issue

    :Help! with X-fi Elite Pro . Toslink issue. 2. Phono issue? I'm using a Toslink in and out to a JVC receiver. I can play and record computer sounds that play from creative external box through a Toslink into the receiver then into my receiver speakers. However, I can't record any other sound coming out of my receiver through Toslink into back of box.
    As a separate issue, I can't get the phono jacks on the external box to work. I've tried it with a direct connect from turntable to external box, with and without turntable preamp on, and with the creative box switch on phono and then with the box switch on aux. I then tried it from line out of receiver to aux in in the back and then to line in in frnt of box. Nothing worked. When I tried those setups, I tried it with toslink out of receiver and then with Toslink in receiver.
    I'm using a Dell Vista 64 computer.
    Any help with these issues would be appreciated.

    Wow, guess nobody can help me out here......

    I have excactly same problem, tried reinstalling/updating GPU drivers, updating chipset drivers, emptying PCI-slots, putting sound card into different PCI-slots.
    Also, it does not seem to have any memory, I/O or DMA conflicts with sound card. Maybe IRQ priorities?

  • Any install DVD for X-fi Elite pro with Win 7 ?

    hello all of you, i wonder if there will be an install dvd for?X-fi Elite Pro on Win?7? and if so , where can i download it, is there an?other solution for the installation, instead of the Vista install dvd
    Thanks for your help?

    I've since run a few more tests and have confirmed that my X-Fi is the hardware that is making my system lockup. I disabled it in the device manager and was able to play games all day with no problems, but with no sound of course. I also tried uninstalling all software related to the X-Fi and uninstalling the drivers, removing the card, restarting then reinstalling the hardware software and drivers. But the problem starts again while listening to music, playing games, or even watching video online or of my hard disk.

  • Audio setup / MEDIACENTER theatertek - x-fi elite pro - denon AVC-A1XV receiver - speak

    I read all the various posts and faq... however I do not get it.
    I would like to see movies with theatertek on my mediacenter (sp/dif out) which has an x-fi elite pro card. I use optical cable to the Denon AVC-AXV receiver. Now I only get the front speakers no surround.
    Probably I just have to bypass the sound card... but how? I would like not to use analog connections..
    Sorry for the questions... but the explanations just do not help.

    Open Audio Console, go to the decoder tab and select 'DD/DTS Bitstream Out'. On the DVD software you have to select SPDIF-Out as the audio renderer. If you have installed and enabled?the On-Screen Display it will appear a DD/DTS logo with the legend 'Bitstream' instead of the regular logo.

  • X-Fi Elite Pro: Implementation of Effects in M

    Hi
    Can someone please help me here? It's quite urgent.
    I only just switched over to X-Fi from SB Li've yesterday. I'm missing a few things which IMO shouldn't be this difficult to find. If the manuals were printed, they'd basically be good for nothing more paper weights so I do hope someone here will be able to assist me.
    Before I start I should probably mention that I'm in Audio Creation Mode.
    . EAX presets: When I open the EAX controls in the Audio console, there are no presets plus the preset window is blanked out. The help file says that one should select a preset from the list but given the afore mentioned info, this proves to be somewhat impossible. How do I make the preset window acti've and get presets into it's
    2. Auxiliary Effects:
    a. In the SB Li've's EAX controls, one was able choose with which MIDI controller to send triggers for EG. a Multi-Tap Echo. If I understand it correctly, the MIDI implementation chart in the manual (which I stumbled upon by accident) seems to indicate that Auxiliary effect 3 is triggered by Controller 92 and Aux 4 by controller 94. However, I get zero response from either Auxiliary when triggering either of the 2 controllers. How do I trigger Aux effect 3 & 4 from my sequencer? Also I don't get any response from Aux 3 & 4 on the Wave channel of the mixer.
    b. Is there a better delay unit than the "Digital Delay"? The fact that Tap can only go to 207milliseconds and Tap2 to only 404milliseconds, makes it totally useless for a /4 note echo of anything slower than 48.5BPM. The SB Li've's Multi-tap used to be able to go into the thousands. I'm unable to hear what it sounds like since I can't get Aux 3 & 4 to work.
    I hope someone will be able to help me.
    Thanx in advance

    Hi
    Pardon me if I seem a little sinical in this post. It's just that I don't like buying a new and expensi've piece of equipment and having to do a runaround trying to fix problems which shouldn't have been there in the first place.
    It's a pitty that problems one has with a new piece of equipment or software almost always is fixable with something that would appear to be user incompetance when in fact it's the result of poor documentation. Anyway, thank you to the support team who helped me out. It would have been nice, though, if my more specific issues were answered concisely and not left completely unanswered.
    I thought I'd post the solution if someone could benefit from it:
    If you had previously run a Sound Blaster Li've! Platinum before installing X-Fi Elite Pro and you find that Auxiliary effects 3 & 4 doesn't work, it's likely that some of the previous SB Li've drivers had not been completely removed from your system. To do this you have to do a clean sweep of your previous installation (which I would have though should be handled by the uninstall program). Anyway, here's a link to a support page which describes how to accomplish this:
    http://us.creative.com/support/kb/article.asp?l=3&sid=72
    and then click on the appropriate link.
    One problem I had is that the CTZAPXX.EXE mentioned in the procedure doesn't appear on the driver disk that came with my SB Li've! Platinum. Fortunately I have a SB Li've 24bit as well and the app was on that driver disk.
    After going through the procedure as mentioned above, the 2 Auxiliary effects still did not work. I then installed the new drivers (Update 4) as available on Creative's Driver Page on 2 Dec 2006. At last it worked. A word of caution: Make sure you exit the Creative Volume Panel before installing Update 4. Otherwise, nothing will work as it should.
    OK so that fixed my auxiliary effects not working.
    I had to answer my MIDI controller question myself by testing with 0-27 values as the reply from support ignored this question amongst others completely. In all fairness, though, the MIDI implementation chart did tell me where to start the trial and error and reduced the test time considerably. And here's the result: Controller 92 does in fact control the strength of Aux 3 and Controller 94 controls Aux 4. There, that sentence took me like what? ...0 seconds to write.
    That leaves my other 2 questions:
    . Where has the presets gone under the EAX tab of the Audio Console when in Audio Creation Mode? There are 7 or 8 of them in Game mode but only a blanked out window in Audio Creation Mode.
    2. Is there a better delay unit available anywhere which allows for longer delay times. The current one is actually closer to a reverb unit than a delay unit as there are many reverb units with longer delay times than this.
    OK, so enough raving. Thanx for the help from support.

  • XFI Elite Pro to Inspire 5500 speakers, no rear so

    I have an xFI Elite Pro and some Inspire 5500 Digital Surround Sound speakers. If I initiate a test from the remote that controls the Speaker's "brain" I get all surround points working just fine, so I know they are connected properly from there. From the "brain" I have the /8th" cable that came with the speakers for a digital connection to a soundcard connected to the flexjack on the back of the soundcard part of the xFI and it is set to Digital I/O. Whenever I initiate a test from the Creative Software, when it says "rear right" and "rear left", it comes out the front speakers. I have the CMSS turned off . I have the decoding turned off on the sound card cause the speakers take care of the decoding. What am I doing wrong? Please help, thanks.

    Well,
    I went back to gigabyte.com.tw and this time, there were new BIOS available ... I still don't understand why they weren't there yesterday ..
    Anyway, I updated to F6 (latest version) and ... sound is still very low, crappy, crackkkkking and so on ..
    I'm gonna throw this through the window :'(

  • X-Fi Elite Pro external thing not working prope

    The external part of my elite pro (dont know what its called) is only working somewhat. I can hear music from it with headphones but if i try to adjust volume or any of the settings (crystallizer, CMSS-3D, etc) it wont work. I can use the remote to adjust the volume but otherwise nothing else works. I've reinstalled the creative software and made sure everything was plugged in correctly.
    Any help appreciated.

    Check that CTXFIHLP.EXE is running and that you haven't disabled it from the startup, killing that process renders useless the digital knobs in the console.
