  • X-Fi Extreme Music Driver-Setup crashes under Win 7 64Bit

    Hi there,
    im using:
    -Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit OEM
    -Asus P5WDH Deluxe
    -X-Fi Extreme Music
    Today i tried to install the Windows 7 drivers from the Creative support side, both the newest and the Beta one.
    But for both, when Setup is saying "Installing the new drivers...please wait a few (!) minutes" (or something like that), the system crashes, i can't even move the mouse let alone using "Alt+Tab". I also tried waiting for hours(!!) but nothing happend.
    Everytime i started the setup as "Admin" and i also tryied "Vista compatibility mode" once in a while, both didn't work...
    Can someone help?

    = Hi,? first of all thanks, but Win 7 DOES install your drivers but then, the sound card still is not recognized...like you can see here:

  • 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.

  • Extreme music software on vista

    Hi all. I have recently upgraded to vista 32 and with that have installed all the latest vista drivers for my xfi extreme music card. The problem is when using creative mediasource 5 v5.20.23 none of the buttons below the playback controls work (Audio cleanup, SVM,smart crossfade,timescale) I get the error (this eature is not available because no supported audio device is detedcted)
    Does anyone know why? is there a vista setting somewhere that needs checking?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Tarka,
    It would be advisable to get in touch with support if you have not already done so.

    I have Xfi Extreme Music (SB0640). In installed the lastes drivers for windows 7 (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.creative.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/#]Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series driver 2.8.003 [/url]), When I run a speaker test all 6 speakers work, however when I use media player, media center etc. Only the front left speaker works.
    Do I need to install creative Alchemy?
    Console Launchers does not load on boot
    Any asistance will be appreciated
    Thanks in advance

    NRe: Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music? You will need to have the Creative Console Launcher which will let you have CMSS-3d or Creative Multichannel Surround Sound. You can find the newest version for your card here......

    Honestly though, dont bother with just that. Get Daniel K.'s X-FI support pack which is updated with the newest drivers and applications for your card. Plus, he tweaked those with fixes for installation/integration? under operating systems other than XP.
    That can be found here.......

  • How best to *BATCH* process MP3s for sound improvement using X-Fi extreme Music.

    I have a shiny new X-Fi extreme music.
    Does anyone have ideas on the best way to *batch* process a large selection of (16 bit 44.1) MP3 files?
    A lot is made, in the X-Fi advertising, on the varied abilities to improve the sound of MP3 files. I have a large selection of play-a-long MP3s generated from old sources, and additionally converted to single channel mono. (i.e. I have extracted the LEFT channel and created a mono MP3 from that).
    I would like to improve the sound of these file. I use them for play-a-long, so tonal closeness to the original is *not* important. I just want to be sure I can hear the basist (and drummer) OK - i.e. I want to emphasize their sound and disregard the frequencies in the human-voice range.
    Sometime, I play these files using the PC equipped with the X-Fi extreme, but sometimes on my MP3 player.
    Does creative supply SW to achieve this batch processing, or does anybody know of third party SW that can help. Their seems to be a lot of sound improvement SW out there, but it is targeted towards dealing with LP vinyl problems, and usually doesn't do batch very well.
    Thanks for your consideration,
    Matt

    Hi?I have got some problems with my X-fi Xtreme music on Vista 32bit too. I use speaker Inspire T6060 5. chanel but there is no sound from center speak and sub woofer.Although I had change sound setting in window and creative console to 5. sound chanel but it still no sound from them.

  • SB X-Fi Extreme music problems, enlighten me please!

    Hello to all! I'm a Creative sound cards user since 90's. Satisfied yes,but i would ask for a little help over here now.
    I have the extreme music pci, not much of a new card i know, but i like the way it sounds through my marantz av amplifier very much. I have used that card with my previous 2 pcs without any issues. Last year i bought an asus p7h55d-m evo motherboard, intel core i5 66 dual core cpu, 2 corsair memory (i can't recall the model right now) sticks each one of 2 gb ram, amd 5770 with GB graphics card, TB WD 00fals hard disk dri've and put them together in Thermaltake HTPC case with a vfd display (imon). I have other devices too but i don't know if it would do any difference to mention.
    Motherboard has onboard integrated sound chipset which is disabled (though it should not be a problem enabled), graphics card too (through hdmi). I have ONLY PCI slot where i installed the extreme music. My problem is that even if the latest creative driver for win7 64 bit is succesfully installed and everything looks just fine (no conflicts, resources are ok) i here a very low volume sound output from my speakers. I need to raise the volume to 80% to barely listen to what's played from the x-fi. Before some months the first time i installed the card it worked. Looks like something changed in win7 and doesn't let the card to function correctly. I need your help here as this might be my last chance to figure out the problem before i quit trying with that card. I may buy a new model but i'm not sure what's wrong and if the new one will work.

    Maybe you plugged the cables too slacky, reconnect the cables that connect the hardware. Alternati'vely click on the volume in the windows tasklist on the right and select the mixer ... raise everything there.. The output should be enormeus. (sorry for my bad english)
    too late but better than nothing.

  • X-Fi Extreme Music Not Detected At All By New

    I have just finished building a new PC with parts obtained from a friend, but the X-Fi that worked fine in my previous computer is now totally undetected. There is even no trace of it in the DMI data when the computer turns on - no 'Multimedia Controller' is listed under the PCI devices. It's the same story in Windows, there are no unrecognised devices at all. I have tried using it in both of the available PCI slots, and have had no luck. I know both slots work because my Wi-Fi card works in both of them. It worked briefly the first time I tested the system but after finishing the assembly of the computer it now?no longer works.

  • X-Fi Extreme Music 48 Khz to 96 Khz and 16 bit to 24 bit sett

    ?Hello guys, I recently bought this card and everything works fine, but I have some questions.
    . Where are the 48khz/96 khz and 6bit/24bit settings (except 24BIT Crystializer) which I had on my old Audigy SE and SB Li've 24 bit's
    2. Is there a real difference in performance/quality between Gaming Mode and Entertainment Mode? Is it ok to play games in Ent.Mode?
    3. What are the correct settings to achieve best sound quality pairing a Logitech Z-5500 (volume/bass/treble/eq/crystalizer levels)?
    Thank you very much and I repeat, I don't have any troubleshooting issues, I just need some advices because I am not an expert in sound and I heard this X-Fi Extreme Music is very good when you set it up correctly.

    go to entertainment mode, go to digital i/o all the way on the right,then change the digital output sampling rate to 96khz

  • X-Fi Extreme Music Digital I/O strange behav

    Hello everybody, just installed my new X-Fi Extreme Music. It's connected to a Creative 2. Soundsystem by the digital I/O and to my Sennheiser Headphones. Connected like that i was very satisfied with my former Audigy. If I want sound on the Soundsystem I select digital output, if I want sound on the headphones I deselect it.
    Thats how i'd like to handle it with the new card as well. The Problem is that after every reboot of my XP Professional the digital i/o doesn't work although it's activated. I always have to deactivate and activate it myself to work, which is not acceptable.
    Any ideas why it behaves like that`?

  • X-Fi Extreme Music - How do you set ASIO to 16/44?

    The X-Fi Extreme Music specifications state that it will do ASIO drivers at 16/44. I selected ASIO as the driver in my recording software (n-Track) and tried recording. I got a 24/44 resulting wave file. In n-Track, there is a setting to "Force 16-bit" so I tried that and it crashed n-Track. Someone at the n-Track user forum said I have to select the Creative 16-bit ASIO driver, but I only see one ASIO driver choice in devices. How do I get the X-Fi to do 16-bit ASIO at 44.1k?

    I was told in the nTrack forum to use the "ASIO 16-bit driver" from X-Fi. That was incorrect if I understand correctly that X-Fi only has a single ASIO driver and that driver runs at the sampling rate you select in "settings" under Audio Creation mode. The bit depth is not set within the X-Fi software, but rather, is set by the recording software. Am I correct in all this?
    I checked n-Track and ASIO4ALL drivers on a different PC (Win2KPro) and I can record ASIO and get 16/44. That being the case, it appears that n-Track can do 16/44 with ASIO, but has a conflict with the X-Fi ASIO drivers when attempting 16-bit. Is that the likely case here?
    Asio4All is not a true (native) ASIO driver, but operates through WDM/KS functions --> you get the same "resolutions" / "have same limitations" you would get with WDM/KS drivers.
    Bit-depth and SR can normally been set inside the recording software. I do ot know the enviroment and logic of n-Track, so that's why I pointed you to try some other (more pro) software, so you can 'better' find the way for these settings.

  • X-fi Extreme Music - Mouse making high pitched noise when moved

    ? Whenever I move my mouse my headphones make a very high pitched noise. I moved my mouse to all usb ports and it still happens, cant change my IRQ in bios and vista has them all locked out from being changed. I also have my X-fi as far away as possible from my video card. I have no idea whats doing this but i need some help.
    Specs are as follows

    Q6600 @ 3.48GHZ
    4GB Mushkin @ 078
    X-fi Extreme Music ***Lastest [email protected]

    I've never had pictures of the mod, as it is it wouldn't show up vey well in a photograph, not to mention that every front panel board is different from one manufacturer to another. Mine came with my Gigabyte Aurora case, but Gigabyte probably didn't manufacture the circuit board itself.
    I had the noise problem when I first tried out my new Bose headphones with it and knew I needed to fix it. The main issue is the metal mounting studs that attach the board to the case front cause a ground loop with the grounds coming in from the sound card, as well as the motherboard USB headers. Having all these grounds just connected together like that is the root of the problem. By far the worst issue is the studs being connected to the foils on the board. Scraping the foil off the board where it makes contact with the studs will probably fix most of the noise. Next, cutting a gap in the foils between the incoming grounds from the sound card and USB headers will clean up more noise. If properly done, and all plugs removed from their headers, there will be an OPEN connection between any one ground wire and another, as well as there will be an OPEN between the chassis (case) and any of the ground wires. The ground wires coming from the headers should show a good connection to their appropriate socket ground on the front panel, but again, an OPEN between each other.
