X-FI fatal1ty Xtremega

Ok, I have come to regret ever buying this card, it seems the X-FI drivers don't work for it, and I can't get any of my OPENAL games to work, I'm getting EXTREMELY angry with this.
There is no updates for it at all, and it's really annoying already, I can't use EAX in prey or Q4 because of this. It's not an xtremegamer, it's a fatalty profession xtremegamer, X-FI drivers don't work, or don't want to work with it.
If anyone has any peice of advice to get this to work I'd really appreciate it.
Oh, I forgot to mention, if I update to the latest drivers from the "autoupdate" it won't boot up windows.Message Edited by havoxx on 03-02-20070:30 PM

Glad to see someone is trying , yea, it works fine, the OpenAL just never works, even in game mode, I've updated and used everything possible, and still nothing.

Whats the difference between Fatal1ty and Fatal1ty USB heads

Whats the difference between Fatal1ty and Fatal1ty USB headset? What is the $30 price difference for other than a USB connection?
Also, what is the advantage to using the USB port?
Still trying to decide on which headset to buy. I will be using these mainly for gaming and some music. Although i'm not real picky when it comes to music quality. Even considered the HS-1200 wireless. Which headset of these 3 has the best sound quality and better quality?

Any USB sound related item is going to use system resources instead of the non usb version. The non usb version uses the resources of the sound card and not system resources. So you should get cleaner sound with the non usb version.
But, be aware creatives tech support is not the best in the world. Keep that in mind when buying a product from them.

Man I am going to be honest with you, I had the same issue tried everything to fix it. The last resort was doing a clean install of OS, its a pain but if you do it wipe your SSD drive clean make sure of that man. After doing this my sound blaster z worked, I also had the recon 3d and it worked as well after doing this. Hope this helps man.

Fatal1ty headest mk II problems

i finnaly got to get my new headest to work without static in the backround by plugging the headest into the green jack labeled "front" in the back of my computer. i want to change some of the settings in the creative control panel but when ever i open it it says " the audio device supported by this application is not deceted. the application will now exit". it also does this with the console launcher saying " there are no supported audio device avalible. you need to close the application. click OK to close now. can someone please help? i have a X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series sound card.

ok i got the control panel to work by reinstalling the sound drivers. but whenever i change anything in the control panel it has no effect on anything. why couldn't creative just make a usb version? all of these problems probably wouldn't of happened. even the old fatal1ty usb headest is sounding better than this one and i never had problems with it like whatever change i made in the control panel made a difference. i'm thinking about getting my money back.

so if anyone could help me i would be VERY gratefull
grtz, alex

OK now ivé had it with Creative and the crappy products they sell. I´ve been buying ALOT of electronic stuff over the years and all creative products have been a total disaster. mp3 players that breaks down in 6 weeks,YEA ALL 3 of THEM DID!!!, soundcards that dosnt support half of the functions stated in the manual, Crappy drivers that actually gets WORSE when updated, and now a headset with no working mic!!! Cmon a mic is pretty basic stuff but still Creative manage to screw it up. Im breaking my X-Fi soundcard in half and throwing it in the garbage along with my Fatal1ty headset and my creative 5.1 speaker system.

Crackling in Fatal1ty HS-1000, Windows 7

Hi,
I have a crackling in my HS-1000s that will occur if my computer has not been restarted for a while (putting it to sleep does not solve problem, but restarting does). It will sometimes take a few days for the crackling to come back, but it will sometimes come back the next day.
If I do not restart my computer, the crackling will increase in intensity until all audio is output crackly. Then everything will sound high pitched, as if played in fast-forward (voices sound like chipmunks. seriously). Exiting out of the game will usually fix the high-pitch issue, but other sound (youtube, itunes) will still be slighly crackly and stuttery.
Usually a restart fixes this temporarily. I've noticed it occurs more frequently in Battlefield: BC2 than in the past, but it HAS happened in a variety of other games. It seems to only start while I'm playing a game, though. If no sound is being output, there is no crackling.
Additionally, the headset will occassionally hum, on in-game as well. There seems to be no specific on-screen action that suggests humming. Whenever I start up Modern Warfare 2 or BC2, the humming will start at the login menu, then randomly stop.
I am currently using the native drivers.
Thanks
EDIT: It seems that with BC2, when I restart the game, I get no game audio at all. I can still listen to sound on youtube or itunes, but it's still a bit crackly.
EDIT 2: I heard the crackling again and left the game running for a bit then quit out. YouTube was running crackly and then I got myself a nice BSOD. Any suggestions?

Hey man, I'm also experiencing this sh!t...
The crackling just wont stop and it really kills good games, music and movies. :/
I have however come up with a "solution" and that is to un-install ALL drivers and programs for the headsets. The crackling/lagging sure stops but the sound quality goes to hell. The mic volume will also be reaaally low, and that's not really acceptable if you're using VoIP for gaming.

P35 Platinum stuck with 008D error in boot with newly added OCZ Fatal1ty rams

Hi,
I was using 2x1 GB 800 MHZ OCZ vista performance rams without any problem. I just bought 2x1 OCZ Fatal1ty 1066 MHZ rams. In the specification of my P35 Platinum mainboard it tells that it supports 1066 (OC).
I don't want of course to run all my rams at 1066 MHZ. I just want to run all of them at 800 MHZ.
However, when I placed all 4 rams in every combinotion on the slots, computer boots but it stuck after the boot screen and there is "008D" in the rightdown corner.
Interestingly when I just put Fatality rams (2GB) computer doesn't boot! Only 1xvista perf. Mhz 1xFatal1ty or 1xvista perf. Mhz 1xFatal1ty works but stuck at after the boot screen.
I tried to enter 5-5-5-15 values and tried to adjust memory voltage to 2.1 V as told in the new ram's specification but doesn't affect. What is your solution? Since new rams do not work among themselves, are they broken or my board doesn't support them?

If I'm not wrong, your post sounds to me that you are trying to mix the OCZ Vista and OCZ Fatal1ty RAMs on the same board.
This is highly not recommended as both RAMs are very different in most aspects (Speed, latencies, voltage and made).
I would suggest that you clear CMOS and choose which set you'll want to boot the system with and settle with that.

Windows 7 RC1 not recognising my fatal1ty headset microphone

greetings,
I have got a problem, I recently switched to windows 7 RC1 and now I cannot get the mic to work.
My soundhardware:
x-fi titanium soundcard
fatal1ty gaming headset (not the USB one)
sound output works normal, windows even recognises that my line-in is active BUT I am getting no input from my microphone at all.
Anyone know what this could be? (I am running the newest beta drivers for my soundcard btw)
thanks in advance

Hi Vanilla,
sorry to see that no one has replied to your problem.... I have the same issue here.
I used to have Vista 64bit installed on my Desktop with a Vista that is supposed to be onl;y used for my Dell Laptop......Windows has noticed this and will not let me do updates anymore to my Desktop
So I reinstalled Windows 7 64bit that I had installed a while ago and now I have no mic to use on Teamspeak. My headset (Sennheiser PC350) worked with Vista 64bit. I am just doimng the Auto update from Creative and have also downloaded the beta drivers from Creative for Windows 7. If I have any luck getting my Mic working I will let you know. I would appreciate if you could do the same to me if you get yours working.
Good luck to both of us.....
Cheers

Fatal1ty Pro - Subwoofer outp

Hi to everybody here!
I have a Creative Fatalty Pro, a Yamaha Amplified Subwoofer YST-FSW00, and a pair of amplified desktop speakers Creative HD-50.
I?don't need?a surround system, I need only to use the sub together the speakers.
The first way is to?take one channel from the stereo output and connect it directly to the sub (a really bad solution: only a channel used, and the source signal not crossovered!).
The second way is take the mono crossovered signal (sum of L+R signals) directly from the output jack of the Fatalty.
But obviously, I don't know if this is possible ;(
Can anyone help me please?
Thanks in advice.

Audition 3.0 Sound Blaster Fatal1ty card audio input ASIO issues

I just installed a Sound blaster extreme gamer fatal1ty pro sound card. I've got it working but when I try to open Audition #.0, I get the error about audio input not activated. I can play but I can't record. when I try to, I get a message about the ASIO driver is invalid and change settings in audio hardware. When I go there, the option for input is greyed out. I can record in Audition 1 without any problem so I think I've got the sound card installed properly. Also, I did an upgrade from a Audigy card that worked but had a lot of lag in voice tracking. Any thoughts? Thanks

Download ASIO4ALL, install it and you should be good to go.

Consumer cards like the X-Fi/Audigy series from Creative Labs are not good choices for recording. They're great at gaming (I have an X-Fi on my game machine) and playing movies on your PC but for professional audio applications one needs a professional audio card.

Creative Fatal1ty Pro Soundcard + Fatal1ty Gaming Headset

Doesn't work.
The soundcard is fine, perfect. Crystal clear!
The headset is... fine! Also crystal clear.
The MIC on the headset. Doesn't work..?
I am running Vista Home Prem 32, and i've heard that it is possible to get the mic working, but takes a while. I bought my headset today, spent all day trying to sort out the mic, while i could've been playing the Call of Duty 5 MP PC Beta with my mates, but i couldn't speak to them cause of this.
Is there any fix? I am DESPERATE to get this working. Seriously.
I word from a mod or admin would be nice..
Thanks.

How do I get my speakers and Fatal1ty HS-1000 USB to run at the same time?

I am having trouble running both my speakers and Fatal1ty HS-1000 USB headset at the same time. Sometimes I like to take off my Fatal1ty HS-1000 USB headset and listen to my music really loud with my 5.1 system, but now I would have to unplug the Fatal1ty HS-1000 USB headset from the back.
So when I play WoW I have to plug my Fatal1ty HS-1000 USB headset back in and go back and forth when I want to listen to music loud and play WoW.
I installed the the drivers with the audio panel.

It seems like you want output of audio on both the speaker and headset. I too have problem of always unpluggin and switching. Does anyone know if both can work. Can audio output be both in speakers and headset?

Need help getting Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset Mic to work

greetings.
i am using a Fatal1ty Pro Series Gaming Headset Mic along with an Audigy 2 ZS Notebook card, and i cannot for the life of me get my laptop to recognize audio coming from the mic. the mic switch on the cord is on, and the status light is lit up, and i can even hear my voice from the mic in the headphones, but the audio is not being inputted into the computer. i'm using winxp pro and have played around with all the audio settings in control panel with no luck. any suggestions? i thank you in advance for your time and consideration. take care.
regards,
jps

Headsets or microphones with a USB connection cannot be connected to the input connections on a sound card directly. Instead, they must be connected to a USB port on a PC.
They are treated as a separate audio device by Windows. They will be listed as a separate audio device in Device Manager as well as in Windows Multimedia panel. To adjust the volume of the headset or the microphone, use Windows Volume Control.

Fatal1ty Headset /w CSS 3D Sound Issue

Sadly for me I didn't know I possessed this problem until I bought this headset that doesn't have a reversable mic... but basically I've found that although configured correctly on my computer, I have to have the heatset on in reverse in order to accurately use the 3D sound. IE, left earphone on my right ear, right earphone on my left ear. I'm not sure if this is because at some point I wanted the mic on my right side and just learned to do it, or if I had to switch it in order to play.
Anyway the problem now is that since the Fatal1ty gaming headset only has one attachment for the mic on the left, I put it on in reverse in order to hear correctly and use my mic at the same time. Granted, I've been using the headset with the mic detached, and draping my old headset around my neck in order to use its mic while using the Fatal1ty headset, but I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to set it up so when I play CSS the sound will switch sides, short of me having to buy a new sound card or something.
I am running Windows XP and have an onboard sound card, I believe it's a sound blaster 24-bit?
Thanks for the help, if any

So nobody actually has any idea what the problem is? I'm not the thread-bumping type, but this is a very annoying issue and if anyone has any useful information I would greatly apprecaite it.
