X-Fi Fatal1ty - Smart Recorder will not work in

I think the 64-bit drivers for this puppy are still buggy. When I try to record my vinyl albums through Smart Record, Wave Studio or even the basic Windows Sound Recorder, I get screeching noise on playback.
Everything appears to record normally, but when you play it back - screeching.
My previous sound card, an Audigy 4, worked perfectly under Windows X64. I'll be returning my X-Fi and getting an Audigy 4 tomorrow.
I really hate to waste time - I wish Creative would have provided better drivers for the X-Fi. I'm very disappointed.
My system has 4 Gig of Ram in Abit Fatalty SLI Mobo, Nforce 4 SLI. I have the very latest bios from Abit, too.

Want to let you all know that I think I solved the problem, or actually, two problems.
Problem - I installed the 64-bit driver, which included the Audio Console. Then, when I installed the applications on the CD that came with the card, I unknowingly installed the Audio Console again, which was a 32-bit version. I took out the card, uninstalled everything, and then reinstalled only the 64-bit Driver/Audio Console which came from Creative's website.
Bottom line - I installed the 32-bit Audio Console on top of the 64-bit Audio Console. Creative should write drivers or give better explanations so regular consumers can avoid this pitfall. I'm a computer tech and figured this out, but most folks wouldn't.
Problem 2 - I can't blame Creative for this one. I turned off my onboard 394 (Firewire) port. I don't use it anyway.
When I did those two things, my issue went away. The X-Fi Fatalty now works perfectly.
Thanks to the two people who responded here. Hope this helps someone else.

  • Smart Recorder will not load in Audigy 4

    I recently re-installed Audigy 4 and installed all the current updates and Smart recorder will not load. I get a message saying "Smart Recorder has encountered a problem and needs to close". All the other Creative Apps work fine. I am running XP Sp3. Any ideas out there

  • Creative Smart Recorder Will Not L

    I've successfully used USB Sound Blaster Li've! Model SB 0490 since January 2006. Today is different. Inexplicably Smart Recorder will not load. All other Creative programs (such as Surround Mixer, Graphic Equalizer) load without a snicker. I've run the diagnostics and everything checks okay. I used the CD to "repair" the software. Instead of loading I instantly get the cursed stop-everything Microsoft message "...Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close. Please tell Microsoft..."? This is XPHome fer ya.
    The forum on this product while dated contains nothing I can see about this. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

  • After updating to Firefox 5 my Realplayer Recorder is not working due to that add on not being compatible. How do I get this to work again?

    After updating to Firefox 5 my Realplayer Recorder is not working due to that add on not being compatible. How do I get this to work again?

    It sounds like you restored from an old back-up.  Did you back-up just before your software update?  It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
    In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
    Sorry for your losses.

  • I  have been having nothing but trouble with OS 10.6.8.  Many of my appliatins will not work..  HOw can I revert back to a previous version of OS x?

    I  have been having nothing but trouble with OS 10.6.8.  Many of my applications will not work..  HOw can I revert back to a previous version of OS x?

    Before you revert anything try this:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Next time don't post something like "nothing but trouble." Tell us exactly what the trouble is and provide any additional information such as error messages.

  • Set up exchange email on my imac but that same information will not work to set up exchange on my iphone. Any ideas?

    set up exchange email on my imac successfully but that same information will not work to set up exchange on my iphone. Any ideas?

    If your Imac is connected to the same Lan as your Exchange Server he might be able to access the DNS record for the autodiscovery services (the url that allow outlook/entourage or modern smartphone to autoconfigure the exchange account).
    If this url has not been made public by your IT staff, your iphone cannot resolve it.
    Typically, the url for autodiscover is based on your address email domain, i.e. if your email address is [email protected] the url for autodiscover will be https://autodiscover.company.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml
    A good test is try to open this URL from a web browser (authentification may be requiered) from the imac and iphone then compare result. The expected behavior would be the display of an xml page with very little content (this is normal), if there is an http error or that the page cannot be displayed then autodiscover is not available from the network you are using.
    If so you need to request from your IT the name of the ActiveSync Url to use, most company use the same as the webmail url, so if to access your wemail you need to go https://webmail.company.com, the name to use on your iphone would be webmail.company.com
    Hope that help

  • Phone crashed, Backup did not restore at all. Also, the backlight will not work. HELP!

    Self explanitory, I suppose. I'm only 17, my parents don't want to help too much, so a self-fix would be appreciated.
    My phone spazzed, the screen stopped working, so I backed it up. on multiple computers. I restored it to factory settings, and when I tried to restore from backup, On every computer I recieved an error stating that it could not restore because the backup could not be saved onto the computer. The factory settings phone works fine, but the backlight will not work 99% of the time (except random sporaddic moments that last a milisecond). It is getting extremely annoying, and I have lost all contacts, over 10,000 pictures, meaningful texts, recordings of songs that I worte, My whole calendar for college, and most importantly, a voice recording of my now-deceased mither telling me she loves me. Is there any way that I can get all of this back, or at least get the backlight to work?! Please and thank you, Katie.

  • YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

    YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
    I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

    You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

  • TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

    My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

    - After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod?  If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
    - If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • I was using Lightroom v5.6 when a notice came up to update to v5.7.  I did the down load but must have gotten a bad down load because it will not install.   And the old 5.6 on my desktop will not work.   So no 5.6 or 5.7 . any ideas  how to get something

    I was using Lightroom v5.6 when a notice came up to update to v5.7. So I did the download but it would not work or install.  And the 5.6 version will not work now either.   So I am screwed - no 5.6 or 5.7 and no access to Adobe Tech.   Any help will be appreciated.

    My iPod is a click wheel...I think that's fifth generation?
    I've always used my firewire cable to update my iPod. I've tried using USB in the past but for some reason it always says that my iPod has low battery and won't let me update it, so I just use firewire. Can I not use firewire with itunes 7?
    I'll try using the USB again. It's laying around here somewhere. Just gotta find it.

  • Flash player will not work on my computer, would love advice

    I have windows vista.  When I visit a web page that requires flash, it instructs me to download it (even though I'm sure I have it ialready...).  I do so, it says it has downloaded successfully but I still cannot view the website.  I have uninstalled my current version of flash and reinstalled the latest version numerous times.  It even shows up in my list of programs.  But each time I visit a site that uses it, it tells me I need flash to view it.  Very frustrating.  And suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    This was very helpful - thank you.  I unchecked "active x filtering" and it seems to be working, under tools in IE.  a simple solution, that may have taken me days to figure out myself!  Hopefully it continues to work from thiis point forward.  Thanks!

    I have a Macbook and iPhone and like to back up to iCloud.  However, my work computer runs Outlook 2003, which I know will not work with the iCloud.  The company has no plans to update anytime soon.  Since the calendar and contact list on my office computer are my primay ones, I hard sync through iTunes.  The problem is that any data synced from Outlook 2003 to the iPhone from iTunes does NOT later backup to iCloud.  Is there a solution?
