X-FI Extrem Music and DVD play

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to use my computer as media center.
I have installed, WINDVD 8 on windows MCE.
When i play DVD on it the sound is not the same like with my DVD player.
I would like to use the sound processor of my X-FI but the Subwoofer and central speaker not working as well, the sound level is very low. I have configured WINDVD with 6 HP and with or without LFE option it's the same thing.
If i read DTS audio CD with the creative software it's working very well !
Visibly the sound card is not really take in charge by this software.
And I have the same problem ith Media center.
Maybe someone has a solution ?
Thx

Which specific option did you pick in WinDVD? And check the settings for the card, to make sure you're using the decoder for the card. You'll need to use either the decoding option on the card, and set the DVD software to output/bypass (SPDIF), or do it the other way around (output/bypass with the card, and decode with WinDVD).
It is likely something is set wrong, if you can post up detail on what settings you have used I'm sure someone will be able to advise what you should change. What kind of speakers do you have?

  • Difference between X-fi extreme music and audigy

    I've got a few questions regarding the X-fi extreme music card that I'm planning on upgrading to from my current audigy 2 ZS platinum soundcard.
    . I'm planning to get a x-fi extreme music card from e-bay, with this I will use it with my audigy 2ZS Platinum I/O dri've which I'm told will work, I need to know if the audigy 2ZS platinum I/O dri've remote control will work as well with full functionally, Yes or No?.
    2. I have a MSI K8N Neo4 platinum/SLI motherboard with a Nforce 4 chipset in SLI mode enabled, the BIOS has been flashed ugraded to the lastest 3A version. If i run into the "popping and Crackling", problems can I get the firmware upgrade. (Fourm administrator reply requested.)
    3. When using the X-fi extreme music with the audigy 2ZS I/O dri've, can I use the same data ribbon cable that connects the soundcard to the I/O di've ( the one that came with the audigy 2ZS)
    4. Is there a noticeble difference in sound quality between the audigy 2zs and the X-fi. Does the X-fi have better sound quality, I've heard conflicting opinions on this between people who say it is better and people who say they don'nt hear any noticeble difference.

  • I have music and photos playing on my tv via Apple TV.  but the menu still appears on the TV and I can't get rid of it. Any ideas/

    How do I get rid of the menu on my TV after I set it up to play music and run photos.
    And then after about 5 minutes it shuts off the photos and goes to the info about the musician and song playing.
    I think this is getting too complicated for someone to simply answer in an email. But thought I would try asking.
    Thanks

    Have you unplugged it from mains and restarted - sometimes that corrects odd glitches.

  • Iphoto slideshow to music and dvd

    I am trying to create a slideshow of pictures to music and then burn a dvd. I created a slideshow in iphoto, but I cant figure out how to add more than one song or to time certain songs with picture sections. Can anyone help me?

    You can add more songs by making a Playlist in iTunes and then pointing iPhoto at the playlist and not any of the songs.
    However, if you're trying to cut against the music you'll find iPhoto is quite limited in that regard - especially as it has no ability to edit the music. Other apps such as iMovie, PhotoToMovie or Final Cut Express are a bit better suited to close interaction between the music and the visuals.

  • Converting my music and DVD (films and TV shows) from a hard copy to a digital (iTunes)

    Hi all,
    I am currently clearing out all my stuff and much of it is old CD's and DVD's. I would much rather have it all within my iTunes so that I can download it and watch it whenever I please via iCloud using my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV, rather than loads of CD's and DVD's cluttering my house! I have subscribed to iTunes Match.
    The only thing I have encountered so far is regarding some of my DVD boxsets, notably my Doctor Who series. On iTunes (on my iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch), there is a message saying 'The HD version of this will be downloaded to this device and the SD version will be available for download on your Purchased page.'. Does this mean that if I bought the HD version, I won't be able to download it via iCloud.
    Hope someone can share their experiences!
    Note: I am based in the UK if that information is of any use.

    You can make a data DVD as back up, but you cannot make a DVD that you can play on a DVD player.
    From the terms of use of the itunes store:
    "You shall not be entitled to burn video Products"

  • My ipod has stopped working since the laptop turned off during synching.it shows no music and wont play games also is slower,constantly resets and freezes itunes when connected to computer.if i switch it off a spinning wheel appears till batt dies.help?

    My Ipod has stopped working properly since the laptop shut down during synching.
    My ipod is being slower and wont show any music. when I go into general settings it says the music and videos are loading..
    It wont let me into settings all of the time either.
    My applications and games have become slow or unresponsive.
    The ipod keeps resetting itself, I have tried resetting it to no avail.
    I tried plugging it into itunes but it freezes itunes and wont show up on my computer.
    When I switch off the ipod it shows a spinning wheel until the battery dies, which could be nearly 2 hours!!
    does anyone have any advice as to what to do?
    currently ive reset it - nothing has happened
    ive let the battery drain itself then recharged it to see if that would make a difference - no difference
    Help ASAP needed

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

  • DVD burning on iBook G4 and DVD playing on G5

    I've just got Toast 8 Titanium. I've got a puzzling problem.
    I've burned a DVD on my iBook G4 from a VIDEO_TS file, its a film. It verified perfectly. It also played perfectly on the iBook.
    However, when I put it into the G5 it doesn't even load the DVD, let alone play it. I've tried playing other DVDs incase the G5 player needed cleaning or something, but it plays perfectly.
    Is there something that I have to do to make DVDs compatible between my G5 and my iBook?

    It gets curiouser. I've now installed toast 8 on my G5 and copied a VIDEO-TS file to a DVD. It worked perfectly. Amazingly too, I can play it with no problems on my iBook.
    So the question now is; Why can a DVD recorded by toast on an iBook not play on a G5 whilst a DVD recorded on a G5 can play on an iBook?..?

  • I'm 64 and just found out that cd(s) are for recording music and dvds are 4 recording video

    R cds for recording only music & dvds R for video and sound recording -is there more?

    You can use CDs for other stuff, but the problem is that they only hold up to 700 MB (which comes out to about 15 average length songs) or so, whereas a DVD holds up to 4 GB. So you can put much more stuff on a DVD. And, using a CD for a video requires special burning or the DVD player won't recognize it as a video.

  • Clouds next to some of my music and wont play it

    HELP! Next to my music put onto my Iphone from my Ipod there is a cloud! when i click on it, it goes to terms and conditions, but there is no accept button!!!

    hey i had this problem and it really annoyed me, i decided to play about and i have sorted it out, for now anyway lol.
    late reply but i literally just sorted the problem out for my phone.
    what i did i connected my phone to my pc, went on itunes then into my phone.
    where there is the info about your device and you can select the tick box options to sync automatically, manually ect there is an option that says 'Convert higher bit rate to ??? kbs AAC' i ticked that box and i used 256 kbs for better quality songs but any of the 3 options should work. itunes then converts all your songs then they should work.
    well mine did anyway
    hope this helps

    You have a SB0467 which is a Dell oem X-Fi card. I do not believe it's "origional" or retail. I got mine on ebay brand new for $45. I knew what I was buying (my system is a Dell). The clue to not being retail is that there usually is no retail box, manual, software, etc. I got the card only. So in a nutshell: no support

  • Karaoke and DVD play

    Is it possible to have Karaoke effects like the Voice Suppression Ammount and Pitch to work with other players, not just the Creative player? I would really like to have this karaoke effect for my DVD player. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Did anyone ever get the karaoke player? I have the Xtreme Audio Notebook card and would love to have the ability to switch toMusic Creation Mode. Or just the Karaoke player. What is the big deal to have us loyal customers to just download it from the site? Is it that much of a problem for Creative?

  • IPod wouldn't play music and now won't turn off

    I donwnloaded some new music yesterday and uploaded it onto my ipod, but when I went to play it last night and again this morning none of it would work. I could scroll through the music and press play/pause, but the tracks remained on 0.00.
    I've just tried to turn it off and now it also won't do that. It's now completely frozen... The light is also constanly on. It's not responding to anything.

    Solved, I started to put it into disk mode but only got so far as the apple logo (I'd plugged it into my computer but it wasn't registering. When the apple logo came up it registered). I then disconnected it from the computer and I had sound again
    Just shows, fiddling works

  • Extreme Music - Problems with Driver and Installation

    Hi guys,
    ?After the my computer has given up it's life on the last friday, I bought a new one and wanted yesterday to install everything like OS, driver and so on.
    I started the install of the driver(which is the version from the creative website , released in july 2009) for my soundcard, the X-FI Extreme Music and when the information was given, that the Windows drivers will be updated and it will take some minutes, something happend:
    At my first try a bluescreen appered. You can imagine, that I was shocked to see a bluescreen on my new pc after an hour.
    I run CCleaner to remove some rests of the "maybe installed" driver and started it again. There was no bluescreen, but the mouse freezes and the setup does nothing anymore. I can close it with may keyboard, but the driver wasn't installed.
    After a new clean up with CCleaner I tried it again. I put out my cable of the mouse , so maybe this was the problem(ofc, WHY is there a problem with USB and PCI Cards ?). The installations works, no hang up or freezes. After a restart nothing happend. No sound. I looked at the hardware manager(do not know, whether it is the correct word, I'm german and have a german windows ) of windows and at audio, video and gamecontroller, there is a warning of not working driver.
    I remember, that on my old system the driver was titled something like
    X-FI Audio[800] or something like that.
    But here it was named with?
    X-FI Processor WDM
    I thing the system is installing the wrong driver.
    I looked at some forums , find the hint to change the PCI slot. I did it, but nothing changed.
    So, here are some information of my system configuration, maybe someone can help.
    Old system(where the soundcard works fine with no problems):
    - Athlon X2 4200+(socket was the "old" 939)
    - Asus A8N-E
    - DDR 400 RAM, 2GB
    - Windows XP Professional(32 Bit) with SP3
    New System:
    - Phenom II X4 80(quadcore)
    - Gigabyte MA790XT-UD4P
    - DDR3 333 RAM , 4GB
    - same OS as used in the old configuration
    Ofc all chipdriver were installed and seems to work fine.
    The onboard soundchip is disabled too.
    Hope for help ^^

  • X-Fi Extreme Music || when installing drivers for windows vista 32 bits, error mess

    I get an error message when I install windows vista 32bits drivers for my X-Fi Extreme Music... it says, error while installing, can't find a compatible product on your system, verify if it has been corectly installed ... BUT INSTALLING I JUST WHAT I WANNA DO ! WTF?
    all other software for hardware management can see that my sound card is connected to my mother board, so i don't understand why the driver installer can't see it too and install the drivers ...
    Could someone give me a tip to help me to install my drivers please?
    i got windows vista 32bits build 6000 , X-Fi Extreme Music, 2048 RAM, Pentium4 3.6ghz 250 go hdd space ...
    I'm waiting for some cool answers, thanks ! ...

    You are wrong. The 2.3 are for extreme music, you are thinking about extreme audio. Creative have really made a blunder with these names, not strange many are having problems. Propably trying to install extreme audio drivers on extreme music, and the other way around!?
    Check that you have the right drivers, if you do. Try the trick where you unpack the driver exe file, so you get all the files from the installer on to a folder of youre choosing. Then use the "Creative Update Utility" popup to install/force the drivers to install. If you dont know what im talking about, search the forums, its been explained many times here.

  • SB Xtreme Music and Counter-strike Source He

    Hello,
    I have a sound blaster xtreme music and I play the game counter-strike source. I have having a problem with the surround sound. I can hear everything around me except behind me when I play. Ive tried everything to get it but I just cant figure? it out. Can some help me!

    I do not have other games, only CSS - well the valve games i bought.
    When I am in Ventrilo, the others hear me with the audio creation, I can change the effects and they hear it. Although, in counter strike, it makes no change to my audio- my audio just sounds normal, so I thought the diagnostic from SB would show me something. The above error might be the reason, but I do not know what that actually means.
    Thanks
