X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty SPDIF out only...

having some issues here and been looking around but no luck. anyways my sound has stopped working. to elaborate in playback devices its now set to SPDIF out. and Speakers disappeared. Ive uninstalled the drivers and software. reinstalled with the driver from creative. didnt change anything. even formatted and reinstalled windows with no avail. im pretty much out of ideas... any help is much appreciated. running win7 x64 and PCI Express X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Champion Series

hi there!
http:// forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/X-Fi-Titanium-HD-stop-working-and-recognized-only-as-quot-High/td-p/56979
as you can read I had the same problem as yours,my sound just gona after moving my mouse to get my pc back on from sleep mode,I tried everything,reinstall,dri've sweeper,reinstall graphic card,nothing seemed to work.
anyway I did a restore to factory settings from windows 7 restore(basiclly its a format with new and clean windows).
dont disable your onboard(it has nothing to do with your problem).
try another clean installation of windows BUT dont let windows automaticlly install updates from windows update,choose the "never install drivers from windows update" option,you can find it in my computer proporties in advance systam settings->hardware.
I googled about this problem and this is what giving you this problem.
after you install fresh windows,download the most updated drivers from creative website,dont use the disk.
update me if its working for you,if not I'll continue to help you as much as I can..

Titanium Fatal1ty Pro SPDIF game problem

(Titanium Fatalty Pro SPDIF game problem hi all,
sorry if this issue reported in the past i but i could not get any answer on any relati've posts, the terminology was so complicated
i buy?a new pc with a Titanium Fatalty Pro sound card, i use Vista sp2 x64, the sound card is connected to my external amplifier with SPDIF out in order to get surround sound for my movies and my games and here is my problem
any movies format with surround sound play perfect with out any problem any kind of movie DVD, dvix, mkv?files?etc
but non of the games i play?use the surround system, why is that? is any?kind of special settings needed to be done? how is possible to get surround to movies and not to the games?
thanks you all for your time ?

,Re: Titanium Fatalty Pro SPDIF game problem? this is really coincidence - I just posted on the very same topic 5 minutes ago.
for games just go to the Console Entertainment mode > Encoder > Dolby Digital. Although this is not documented I believe what happens is that the sound card encodes the 6 digital channels onto Dolby Digital mode and transfers this over SPDIF. Kok-Choy actually recommend using the standard analogue cables (and he has a point as you are actually upcoding an existing game signal onto Dolby so that your digital receiver can then decode this down to 6 channels - seems a pretty useless overhead)
for video - I am curious to know what you do - I can either get 96/24 bits on the display of my z5500 with a direct signal but the z5500 receiver then tells me that this signal is only in dolby ProLogic II (and not DD or DTS). As alternati've I use again the encoder and have to select for EACH FILM WHAT IS BEST DOLBY DIGITAL OR DTS. Pls explain what settings you use.
thanks

Using back SPDIF Motherboards outputs with X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro Series

I have an Asus Rampage Formula that comes with Digital Coaxial and Toslink outputs and a PCI-E sound card, Supreme FX II.
I was able to use both back SPDIF outputs with out any cable, you the card in the PCI-E slot, but I have change my card with a X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro Series, no im not able to use any of those outlets, im used the the Coax to my Home theater and the Toslink to me headphones.
Now I can only use the Toslink of the digital output of the X-Fi with my headphones but im not able to use the ports of the mobo to my home theater, is there a way I can use them? the card doesnt have a Coaxial output and thats the problem.
Also, my mobo has 4 pin SPDIF output port, so you can connect something there, but it seems that there are any cable from the output port of the mobo to the audio card....
I found this but Im thinking it might not work...

X-FI Titanium + DDL Encoding + SPDIF Out Configuration on Windows 7 x64

?My setup - I have an X-FI Titanium running on Windows 7 x64. The optical out of the X-FI is connected to a splitter - one goes to my speakers (Logitech z-5500) and the other goes to my headphone amp (Astro Mixamp). I'm running the latest beta driver and daniel's last support pack, along with the latest DDL and DTS packages.
When I enable DDL encoding in the creative panel, it says I have to set the default device to be Creative X-FI (Speakers). Why not SPDIF out? If I set SPDIF Out as the default device, I get no sound. If I reboot, I get a blue screen.
If I set speakers as default, I get sound from both the speakers (if I connect analog) and optical out. I thought this configuration wasn't possible anymore on Vista/Windows 7?

they dont want you to use spidf out because the console doesnt control it and doesn't give you any enhacments at all. either turn the software volume control to 0, or unplug them.

Is true SPDIF Passthrough possible with X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty P

I recently installed my X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro sound card and for the life of me I can't find where I can turn on SPDIF passthrough.
I know about the Dolby Digital Li've, and that's not what I want, I want just the simple optical SPDIF passthrough.
I also don't believe the option for Play Stereo Mix using Digital Output is the same either. Not looking for a stereo mix, just passthrough.
Can anyone help me out here?

I have the same card and I was able to figure how to do the real optical SPDIF passthrough in Vista X64.
First unselect the Dolby Digital Li've if you have that option on.
Second, I unchecked the stereo mixing feature in the creative volume panel.
Finally, you have to select the SPDIF Out Device as the default playback device in the windows sound manager (just right click in the windows speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices, NOT in the creative volume panel. There you can check with some tests if the Dolby and DTS sound is passing through the optical SPDIF correctly.
For Dolby Prologic II (PS2 emulator) I had to manually select to decode in that format to work (in my home theater options).
I have tested my method with a DVD Movie and it worked perfectly!, my external receiver detects de Dolby Digital signal from the movie automatically.

X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional Series = No hardware acceleration in games when using SPDIF o

So I play Lord of the Rings Online which is a nati've OpenAL+EAX game. I used to run my headphones directly out of the analog output on the X-Fi card and I was able to select hardware accelerated audio in game and hear sound.
Recently I decided to start using the SPDIF output into a dedicated DAC. Now hardware accelerated audio no longer works. I have to use software mode.
Does the X-Fi not support hardware acceleration in games when using the SPDIF output?

Zorlac wrote:
I am happy to report that I think it is working the way I want. I have the latest driver and pulled up the "Audio Control Panel". There is a tab called "SPDIF I/O". I had to check the box next to "Play Stereo Mix using Digital Output" in the "Digital Output" section. Now I can select the normal X-Fi option in the Lord of the Rings Online audio config section instead of having to select generic software audio.
So is the X-Fi now using its own DAC and ADC before it outputs via optical out?
...so yeah, my OCD is not over yet (more questions):
. How the heck do you prove that hardware accelerated OpenAL, EAX features, EAX effects, etc., are enabled and working? Creative Labs could market just about any new feature in EAX and the listener would have no way to prove its working it seems... Is there software to analyze which EAX features are supported, which are being used, etc.
2. Do you really have to be in Game Mode in order to take advantage of hardware acceleration and EAX feature/effects in games? It seems to me that Audio Creation Mode can support these "optionally" from what I have read online. What does optionally mean if this is true? heh
3. How do I prove that I am getting bit perfect output in Audio Creation Mode? I need some way to monitor the SPDIF optical output via hardware or software. Someone here has to know the answer to this without hooking my card into a multi-thousand dollar home theater amp to find out. Can I hook the SPDIF optical output to the optical input and some how analyze the input signal? (im just brainstorming)
With spdif out, you are not using the DACs on the card.
As for questions through 3, very good questions.
. With 4.0, 4., 5.0, or 5. speaker set up, and CMSS turned off, I think if you can hear sound out of the rear speakers when the sound is supposed to be behind you, then you can safely say EAX is working.
2. Don't know. I leave mine in game mode all the time. I have 64bit Vista, and there are no 64bit ASIO drivers, so I have no need to go into audio creation mode. Everything I do works good in game mode, and I use a different card for recording.
3. Don't know.

5.1 issues with X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty

Hi folks, how's it going?
I'm having several problems setting up 5. surround sound with my Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Pro. I'm connecting to my DDTS-00 reciever via an optical cable, and using Dolby Digital Li've or DTS Connect (I get the same results with both technologies).
I can get surround sound working in Halo and Halo 2. However, I have to check the "allow applications to take exclusi've control of this device" box in Control Panel > Sound > SPDIF Out > Advanced tab to get them to work. This causes Windows Media Player to throw up the error "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file" whenever I try to play an mp3. Yet if I uncheck the "exclusi've control" box, I just get stereo sound from my games but WMP works fine.
As an exception, with Gears of War, Trillian, and Windows Vista itself I only get stereo when the box is unchecked, and NO sound when I have the box checked.
So, any ideas what I can possibly do? I'm using all the latest drivers and software versions.

If I were you, I'd run the 5. analog outputs from the soundcard into the DDTS-00. The DDTS-00 has the 6 rca inputs for analog input. That should give you less grief when gaming and listening to music at the same time. That's what I do on mine, everything works good that way and there's no fighting over the SPDIF output. And with analog,?you also have more control over all the application volumes, with SPDIF out, you do not.
Using the SPDIF out?will never provide a perfect medium for concurrent gaming and movie/music listening, at least with Creative's (and others) current implementation.
Use EAX when available for games, and if required use Alchemy?if the game needs it.

Spdif out on windvd = no sound ! X

was trying to whatch a dvd the other night after burning it only to fin i get no sound !
windvd is set as per the instructions to pass the siganl to my soundcard (x fi plat) and the sound cards set to decode the signal but i get nothing at all, th eonly way i get sound is if i set windvd to analogue aka plain old stereo stanger still is if i play the vobs for the dvd of my hdd the sound works fine !

Not sure why your running into a prob. I just tested WinDVD here and am getting spdif out to SC just fine. Only issue I have is that allowing WinDVD to do the audio on a DTS disc the volume is louder than if spdif and let x-fi decode it. Any chance you have the decoder set backward for the card, ie set to Dolby bitstream out instead of built-in decoder? I know you said you had it right & sounds like you know what your doing but thats the only thing I can think of. Which version of WinDVD are you using?

Help with spdif out

i have a home theater system setup, goes from the spdif out on front of my A.2zs platinum card to the coax in on my receiver, and it worked great for about half an hour, then the music i was playing started to get a funny sound in intervals, like it was dropping out, fading in and out, could this be interference?

sorry, don't have dvd player installed, but, i downloaded AC3 trailers and still no succes.
something to add, the MSI SOUND MANAGER that came with the driver also doesn't produce 5.1, i've selected digital output and 6 channel coax and when i turned the speaker test on, surround speakers didn't made any sound, only the 2 front speakers.
what do u think about this ?

XBox 360/Audigy: SPDIF IN pass through to SPDIF OUT not working with 5.1

Hi,
I've a problem passing my digital dobly signal from my 360 over the Audigy soundblaster to my external decoder. I want to use digital SPDIF IN from the audigy?IO device to pass the signal directly without processing to the external decoder by using the SPDIF OUT.
There is only one digital in at the decoder, so I need this combination if I want my PC and XBox to be connected both without a toslink switch.
I activated the pass through and external decoder option in the audigy console application. I also disabled the DDL encoder. Additionally I set my Windows 7 speaker settings to use SPDIF OUT as standard device.
This is working for every dolby digital signal?from a dvd which I play on my PC, but not for the XBox signal. The signal is not recognized as a 5. dolby digital signal, but as a 2.0 signal. So something must happen with the signal in the audigy. The XBox settings are correct, because when I connect the toslink cable directly to the decoder everything works fine.
My drivers are the newest one (3.8)?from the support pack.
I don't want to use the DDL option, because the latency is much to high to allow regular playing!
Is there a possibility to pass the XBox signal through to my decoder by using the digital in and out of the audigy?
Thanks in advance,
Axel

Hi I have the same probleme, exept that I have succesfuly pluged my home theater receiver and the 5.1 works. Just my subwoofer seems not to work properly. Like when I plug it into a digital dvd player it works very nicely. but when pluged into the sound card it seems that it dosnt have any signal for it.
ANy clues??? I know i pluged everything finely I have tested the sound test for each speaker and sub to, from the receiver and from the creative software the sub seems to work but very quietly even if I cran the volume up on the sub or in the software , the sub dont work as it should.
1 thing I remarqued is that the sub works occasionaly in some movies. When listening to the music it not working and I dont understand that.

X-Fi XtremeMusic switch to SPDIF-Out

Hi, i have a Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic SB0460 on a Windows 7 64Bit.
I install the latest Driver and it works.
After a reboot the i see only the SPDIF-Out and the soundcard doesnt work anymore.
How can i fix it?

Great, you made my day. Thanks for that reply.
I did not know, where to start counting the pins from (there is no nor a 9 next to the pins on my board). Just used the one from the image you posted and: it works.
BUT: When I play music / movies on my PC and have the analog output on AND the digital I can clearly hear, that the digital output has a delay (which leads to a great reverb effect). I tried to turn off all sound processing (EAX, CSS3d, Crystalizer) in the audio console but the delay is still there.
Any idea, on how to get rid of that delay? Because it's bad seeing people move their lips asynchronously to their speaking.
Thanks, path

No one has this problem at all?
I want to find out for sure if there is a fix before going back to the older drivers.
If i do the test in the spdif out properties panel -> supported formats. When I do the dolby digital test I see the light come on in my receiver and hear sound just thru the front speakers. But when I use power DVD 9 ultra with the latest patch. I don't get the digital light on my receiver. I had this working with the previous drivers released earlier this year.

Not detected: Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion and Windows 7

Hi!
i have a strange problem: my Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatalty Champion Soundcard is not detected when I want to upgrade or download PowerDVD.
It shows up in the devices list as "SB X-FI" though - but this seems to be the incorrect name!?!?!
Also I can not set the SPDIF out options.
I can listen to MP3's via Winamp etc. But I can not set Dolby Digital vcia SPDIF with PowerDVD for example.
I am using the latest official drivers.
Some forums say it's a hardware problem and I should exchange the card. Is trhis true or can I change software settings?

Anyone answer ?

Audigy 2 problems with spdif out not working and cracking appear

Hello everyone,
I am new in this forum but after searching through it i decided to post as i din't find a problem exactly similar to mine.
I have a Creative audigy 2 ZS plugged on my computer with this configuration : Gygabyte P35 DS3, Quad core Q6600, Kingston 2 gb.
From the beginning of my purchase i did not have any problem of cracking or connection problems in spdif with digital din in either XP or Vista. Last week end i decided to re install XP after a virus infection with XP SWEET wich install directly the drivers of my peripherals like the audigy.
The audigy is connected to my speakers : Creative? 5. kit 5700 via the digital din connection and without any analog connection as i selected digital out only in my settings.
Everything was working fine until 2 days ago when? while watching a divx the sound stopped working. i checked everything in m connection and everything was good as well as my speakers. finally i connected the audigy via analog cables to the speakers to find that, if i select digital out only no sound could be heard and finally that poping and cracking sounds started to appear.
I don't know what happened with my system as it never did that before in any of my configurations.
When i reboot my computer, the digital out start working again to finally stop 5 minutes later.
If somebody can help me is help would be most welcome.
Thank you!

Well, I do not know much about the red light thingy, but if the S-Bracket works well, it should be not problem, unless you can't get anything from the S-Bracket.
