X-Fi Fatality and Front Bay Digital

Right . . Just got my card today and kind of impressed so far. Have come over from an M-Audio Revolution 7. which is a software based card but still fantastic for music and a doddle to set up for digital out. I use a coaxial cable linked to a Denon 3805 amp. Now on this card, using a coaxial cable from the front bay, what speaker configuration should I use because so far I just cannot get music to sound as pure as on the M-Audio and it seems to have something to do with the bass and the Subwoofer, it just doesn't sound quite right. I have run through my amp settings, tried Music Cd's from a standalone CD player etc and the sound is fine.
Games seem to be ok. Maybe a hint of more detail with this card.
As I am using an external amp I have switched off all the DSP extras the X-Fi can do so the source is as pure as possible.
Hope someone else has this kind of setup and can shed some light.
Thanks in advance

Yes, that's the card I have.
And I don't get an option for DDL License Activation in my start menu, but I do have the DDL pack installed and I didn't need to activate it.
The reason that I asked about a decoding tab is that I've seen screenshots of other X-Fi control panel?tabs and they had a decoding tab.
Also, Creative support says in my earlier link?I should have a DDL icon in Entertainment Mode, which I don't have?
Thanks for the reply, I appreaciate it.

  • XFI Fatality And Front Audio Ports On C

    Hi guys I have a bit of a question about something that has been nagging me for a while.
    I have front audio ports on built into my case that I would like to have working. I know that the sound card came with an I/O Dri've with similar ports on it but it is just bugging me knowing that my case has them also and that they are not working. The case has a headphone and mic jack in front, Problem is that I have no idea if I can even hook them up using the sound card.
    Has anyone done this? If so can you help me connect my front ports.
    Thanks
    Any replies would be appreciated

  • Audigy 2z Front bay headphone j

    I own a Platinum for 2 years and never used the front headphone jack.
    I bought a good pair of cans to my MP3 and tried to hear them in my computer too.
    Updated all drivers but there is no sound coming out from the front jack.
    I think that the front bay is working, because when I connect my handycam into the firewire jack windows imediatly finds it.
    I sought a lot of threads concerning headphones jack and front bay left answered and I'm starting to wonder if this is a hardware bug of this card combo.
    Any help is very welcome.

    Check there is a red light in the optical out port, the 394 connection is not a good guide to check if the front panel works.

  • X-Fi Fatality not detecting front bay anymo

    I own a X-Fi Fatality with the front bay. I never had any issues, but lately windows (Vista x64) seems unable to pick up my front bay. I always had it working properly, but now it's just not there. I don't see any connections in the audio panel anymore, whereas before I could see en select the different outputs. Connecting a mic or headphone or using the remote, none of this actually works anymore.
    The front bay does recieve power though, since the red light of spdif actually shines.
    It seems as if the card itself doesn't recieve the signal of the front bay that it is there or something. Anyway, right now it looks as if I only have a soundcard with no front bay installed. And yes, the cable conencting the two is still there.
    I completely uninstalled all creative software en manually removed the card and the bay from the computer en rebooted. I reconnected everything and even took the ide cable on and off and reinstalled drivers and software. To no avail however, still no front bay.
    Anyone got the same experience ever? Any solutions?

    I also had this problem in the past.
    The Frontbay was dead was my conclusion.
    I tried another on the same soundcard which did work.
    So try your frontbay on another Creative Audigy / X-Fi card and see for yourself.

  • Xi-Fi Fatality front bay not working on Vi

    Hi all,
    Can someone please confirm that with the current Vista BETA drivers for the Xi-Fi Fatality soundcard the front panel does not work yet ? (windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit)
    I am testing my front headphone's and microphone but I get no sound there, these are also not selectable anywhere in eather the windows sound options or the (currently VERY limited) creative software.
    Could I be doing something wrong ? or does realy the ONLY reason I took the Fatality version (the front panel) is not supported yet in any way by the BETA drivers ?
    And please for gods sake, dont wait for microsoft to test the bloody drivers, just release them already , ill very happely click the "install anyway" button when windows tells me the drivers where not tested yet
    Thank you,
    Hans

    My front bay works, but my remote doesn't appear to be working. I just bought the X-Fi Fatalty?3 weeks ago and installed it in my new 32-bit Vista Ultimate?system, so I don't have anything to baseline it against. ?Does the remote work with the current Vista drivers?Is it suppose to light up when you push the power button? (I already changed the batteries twice)?thx

  • How can I tell if fan between front and rear bay is working?

    hi all
    How can I tell if fan between front and rear bays is working? I put my hand behind G4 MDD to feel for air flow and it seems minimal. I hear a wind tunnel sound but I feel more heat than air flow. Please help as I don't want my Mac to overheat
    Thanks, Web dude

    You can run your mac with the side "door" open - down flat to the right of the computer. You should be able to see the fan do (or not do) its thing.
    I have done this (run the mac with the side open) many times. For safety, I turn the mac off before opening / closing the door.

  • QT choppy, iTunes and Front Row fine

    I have a Core Duo iMac, 2 GB RAM, and QT Pro, with all software up to date.
    Movie files play back beautifully at full screen under iTunes and Front Row. The same files show horribly choppy video when played back at full screen using QT Pro. Audio is fine regardless.
    Video files in question include DVD slideshows intended for TV and authored on my Mac, home movies made with digital cameras, and handbrake .mp4s coded with a wide range of quality settings and resolutions, from very undemanding to demanding.
    Why doesn't QT Pro work properly at full screen? That is, is there something wrong with my software or hardware, or is this just a QT Pro bug?
    Thanks for shedding any light.

  • Titanium Fatal1ty Pro and front panel audio

    So I hooked up my case's front panel audio cable to the Titanium card and used the front panel connectors.
    The sound quality is noticeably worse than using the back plugs. When I use the front panel mic, I also hear artifacts in the sound. When I play a game, I hear slight buzzes in accordance to what is coming out of the speakers.
    I'm wondering if this is just the quality of my cases's cables or if it also happens with the official creative front panel accesory.
    Anybody want to comment on quality?

    /Re: Titanium Fatalty Pro and front panel audioQI had an older Audigy 2 dri've connected to my X-Fi Xtreme Music and that never had any interference. The X-Fi dri've bay can't be bought separately anymore.
    When I switched to a newer X-Fi without a front panel, I used the case connectors and the sound quality was awful.
    I think it's the way the connectors are wired and the build quality. Despite the really awful drivers Creative ship for their cards, the hardware's actually pretty good.
    There're some guides on how to rewire front panel connectors to reduce noise:

  • How can i configure Distributed cache servers and front-end servers for Streamlined topology in share point 2013??

    my question is regarding SharePoint 2013 Farm topology. if i want go with Streamlined topology and having (2 distribute cache and Rm servers+ 2 front-end servers+ 2 batch-processing servers+ cluster sql server) then how distributed servers will
    be connecting to front end servers? Can i use windows 2012 NLB feature? if i use NLB and then do i need to install NLB to all distributed servers and front-end servers and split-out services? What will be the configuration regarding my scenario.
    Thanks in Advanced!

    For the Distributed Cache servers, you simply make them farm members (like any other SharePoint servers) and turn on the Distributed Cache service (while making sure it is disabled on all other farm members). Then, validate no other services (except for
    the Foundation Web service due to ease of solution management) is enabled on the DC servers and no end user requests or crawl requests are being routed to the DC servers. You do not need/use NLB for DC.

  • ITunes and Front-Row no longer in Sync

    Since I moved my whole iTunes library to an external drive, Front-Row is no longer showing if a TV Show is new or not. And it won't update the iTunes counter for that show. The video-podcasts are working correctly. When I download a new one, it shows as new (with a blue mark) on front-row. But not the new TV-Shows I downloaded. I'm using Tiger, Mini-Mac Intel and Front-Row 1.x
    The iTunes library is still at my internal drive, I just moved the Music folder to the external drive, and setup iTunes to read from there. Front-Row does show everything correctly, but its not in sync with iTunes.
    Thanks for any help.

  • 15 int digits and 3 decimal digits number problem in CR for VS 2005

    Post Author: condeagustin
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    HiIm using the Crystal Reports that comes with VS 2005 and I'm having a problem showing a number with 15 int digits and 3 decimal digits. In my tests, for example I have a formula that only has this line of code:  356125478123456.251I want the report to show  356,125,478,123,456.251 but it shows  356,125,478,123,456.000Why does CR puts 000 when it has to be a 251!!! WHY?!!!! I have tried to put the number as a string and I have tried a lot of functions like Round, Truncate, ToText, CDbl, etc and it's always the same result. In the format object of that formula the decimals are 1.000 and the rounding is 0.001. And the following is the weirdest part:If, instead of 356125478123456.251 I put 56125478123456.251, CR shows 56,125,478,123,456.300If then I put  6125478123456.251 CR shows 6,125,478,123,456.250And then if I put 125478123456.251 CR SUCCESFULLY shows 125,478,123,456.251 That is the way I want it but with 15 int digits. It looks like CR only works with a maximum of 12 int digits, more than that, the decimals don't work. How can I fix this? Please help me!Kind regards,Agustín Conde

    Hi Agustin,
    Crystal Reports uses signed doubles as its datatype for numbers.  A signed double on a 32 bit machine is represented by 8 bytes.  1 sign bit, 11 exponent bit, and 52 bit for the mantissa. This roughly corresponds to 15 digits of total precision in decimal; ie. it does not matter where your dot is. You have 15 digits before and after the decimal point combined.
    This behavior is pretty standard.  You should see similar behavior in applications such as excel.
    Hope this helps,
    Ken

  • Lumia 1520 Sim and MicroSD bay

    Hello,
    My Yellow 1520's sim and microSD bays are wobley and not secure. Is this common where they kind of wiggle around when you touch them when they are fully installed? I'm not sure if this is a common issue or if it is only unique to mine. If it is unique, can I perhaps get a replacement sim/sd door? Thanks!

    don't believe it is, so if you are concerned about the build quality of the particular handset you received, take it back to your point of purchase. if they are being less than helpful, take your phone to Nokia Care for inspection.

  • Fatal and nonfatal errors

    what are fatal and nonfatal errors can any body tell

    If my memory serves me correctly fatal errors have an error level >25 and cannot be supressed by setting the :SYSTEM.MESSAGE_LEVEL wheras non fatal errors are more like information messages that can be supressed by upping the :SYSTEM.MESSAGE_LEVEL.
    E.g FRM-40350 Query caused no records to be returned is an information message and has an error level of 5 so can be suppressed by setting :SYSTEM.MESSAGE_LEVEL := 10;
