X-FI Xtreme Audio and Windows 7

Driver is not working properly.
As oposed to WinXP driver (on disk) there is no console application.
In Audio Control Panel I found all necessary settings, but it seems they are not working at all (such as Crystalizer, Surround Xpand and other).
And also now I can't use Bass Redirection setting.
How I can solve this problem?
And when Creative create normal driver and applications for Win 7?

?GURU, I`m having issues with the Windows7 also in the install of Audigy2ZS. I`ve had this for three years and worked fine, yet I did a new update with the old Artificial Intelligence mother board, burt out on me. That could be it. ? Since updating the software in autoupdate for Audigy2ZS and the Windows 7 may be the issue I`m getting... SPI(Creative X_Fi Module) Problem... when I install the CD from Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS? . Lost. Uninstalled it several times and no go. The Itunes works ACE with the Audigy2ZS, Go figure?
Any clues?

Soundblaster X-fi Xtreme Audio and ALch

I bought a Soundblaster X-fi Xtreme Audio soundcard to go with my new computer as I have always used Creative and have been impressed by them. However, in Vista, my rear speakers do not seem to work. I did some research and found that ALchemy was what I needed, but I cannot get this to install. It gives me the error message that my card isnt supported. Is there any workaround for this? I feel pretty miffed having an X-Fi card and being excluded from proper sound in Vista.

There is a very good reason why it tells you your card isn't supported, that's because it isn't,?This download?is an?application for Creative Sound Blaster? X-Fi? series of audio devices. It restores 3D audio and EAX? effects for certain DirectSound?3D games in Microsoft? Windows Vista?. For more details, read the rest of this web release note.
This download supports the following audio devices only:

?Alchemy was written to translate DirectSound3D software calls to OpenAL hardware calls, and unfortunately the Xtreme Audio doesn't have the hardware, the EMU20K2?(all that card basically is is a renamed SB Li've 24 bit/Audigy SE, neither of which have the hardware either).

X-Fi Xtreme Audio and no sound

This is really getting annoying. I had a X-Fi Fatality FPS before (which had no optical on the back), and then i bought a X-Fi Xtreme Audio.. but.. The mic just doesnt want to work. I connect the mic jack to the only input there is - where the mic icon is aswell - and.. nothing.
The mic is enabled in windows, but it sees the input as Line-In, and not microphone!
Im using this driver: XFXA_PCDRV_LB__04_0000
How do i get this working? (The mic isnt broken)

Got it fixed. The newest driver supplied by Creative, doesnt have the "Creative Console Launcher" - which means you cant switch the mode of the FlexiJack.
Good job Creative.........................

X-Fi Xtreme Audio and optical in (win

hey, i bought an x-fi xtreme audio specifically so i could hook up my xbox to my computer speakers through my sound card via an optical cable.
I hooked everything up, but i dont see any option in audioconsole to let me have my computer recieve audio through the optical input, decode it, and output it through my speakers.
I hear theres supposed to be some sort of digital i/o tab, but there is none.
these?are the tabs?i?have?in audioconsole:
X-Fi Crystalizer | Headphone detection | performance | restore defaults | device information | speakers | eax efefcts | X-Fi CMSS-3D?
any?help?on?this?would be greatly appreciated.

i found a simple workaround for my problem.
I uninstalled all the creative drivers and software, then disabled the card from teh hardware menu. i enabled onboard sound in teh bios and installed the drivers that were on my motherboard disc, and the line in worked fine right off the bat.
im?a long?time?customer?of creative ever since my?first sound?blaster 6?and?i?would?have sworn by?all?their?products, but?the?last tow sound cards?i've gotten from them,?the?audigy?4?and?this xfi?have given?me?nothing but problems. ?now i see what theyre doing, not supporting windows xp anymore, and im?now done?with creative for good.

Xi-Fi Xtreme Music and Windows Vista 32 bit driv

I have a lot of problems with Vista driver. There is only one driver and it doesn't work correctly. Sometimes I have very bad noise, the sound skips, and it often has disturbance. When I connect the integrated sound card there are no problems. But I didn't give 00 $ for noise and to use intergrated soundMessage Edited by Botev92 on 05-29-20070:4 AM

Well to give Creative their due even if they took their time there are new drivers out for the X-Fi Xtreme Music and Vista and they work just fine. You can even select the different modes (entertainment, Game or Audio Creation) from within the Audio Console menu. Link:http://us.creative.com/support/downl...type=0&x=3&y=9

Vista 64 - X-fi Xtreme Audio and Fatal1ty headset problem

Hi All,
I bought a Xtreme Audio soundcard today, and found a problem.
When I connect my headset with the front connection on my PC -> no problem
when I connect my microphone with the front connection on my PC -> no problem, mic is working.
When I connect them both, the microphone isn't working.
To fix it, I have to disconnect my headset
Is this a known issue ?
Or is there someone who can help me ?
regards,

Pavilion d6 with Beats Audio and Windows 7: the Sound Stops When Headphones are Removed

The sound works fine, then I put in headphones and usually the sound plays fine, though sometimes it stops working after making a repeating sound for a second. When I remove the headphones the sound will not come out of the speakers and if I plus the headphones back in no sound comes out. The only way I can get the sound to work again is to restart my computer.
If I run the sound troubleshooter it doesnt detect a problem. I tried the fix in this thread http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/Beats-audio-pavilion-dv6-No-sound/td-p/2169..., but that didn't work. I would really appreciate a solution, thanks a ton!

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63501-64000/sp63555.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When done, shut down the notebook by holding down the left Shift key as you click on Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot.
Unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 20 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers/HP' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.

Xfi Xtreme Music and Windows 7 64-bit?

Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
E6600
2 GB (upgrading to 4GB)
4870x2
Xtreme Music
Been having problems with sound since installing Win7 Pro 64 bit. I previously ran my system on XP Pro 32-bit. The sound just isn't the same as before. Since the original CD that came with the card is not compatible with Win7, I was forced to download and use the drivers on Creative's website.
Note that I am using the same EXACT settings I had back when running XP at 35% max volume.
Since Windows 7, I am forced to run at 20% max volume, yet music and in-game sounds sound distorted from time to time.
Could there be an explanation behind this?

Beats audio and Windows 8

Product Name: HP P6-2133W
Product Number: QW728AA#ABA
My Question is if i choose when Windows 8 (RTM) is Released on October 26th, and i pay for $14.99 Windows 8 Pro 64bit upgrade, if i choose to do a clean install on this HP PC, would i lose my Beats Audio sound on here? Antivirus i plan on using i think built in Windows Defender in WIndows 8 as well.
Just finding out ahead of time so i can plan the apporiate time, and have everything i need to have a successful upgrade to WIndows 8 Pro 64bit

No problem. Also, when did you purchase your PC? If it was on or after Aug 17, you also qualify for a $15 dollar refund from HP after you upgrade to Win8.

X-FI Xtreme Audio and Gigabyte motherboard - machine won't mount di

Hi,
I just bought me a nice new audio card, as the onboard card on my motherboard isn't all that (I think).
Now here's the issue; After installing the new card in the second PCI slot, thus leaving an open PCI slot between the PCI-E slot (which holds my video card) and the PIC slot I used for the audio card, when booting up the machine it won't actually load any OS (I use GRUB to multiboot). It complains about a wrong device, disk read error, and all kind of funny things. Turns out for some reason my DVD player isn't recognized anymore as far as I can tell, and this completely changes the boot order. Also, when touching the dri'ves when it's booted, I don't feel any actual activity. Booting takes a long time as well with the card inserted.
Removing the audio card and turning the onboard one back on in BIOS (or just leaving it disabled) turns everything back to normal :smileyindifferent: I've also tried assigning the card another IRQ in the BIOS, but that doesn't really change anything at all...
If anyone has any idea after looking at the below specs, please enlighten me.

X-Fi xtreme audio and vista 32bit - bass redirect

hi,
i have
-x-fi extreme audio bulk (PCI)
-vista 32bit
-Teufeln Concept E? 5. surround set (connected via analog)
i can install the latest drivers and audio console, but the graphical console
("C:\Program Files\Creative\Sound Blaster X-Fi\Console Launcher\ConsoLCu.exe")
will fail to start with a message saying the device is not supported.
the audio console which comes with the driver
("C:\Program Files\Creative\AudioCS\CTAudCS.exe")
does work but lacks one important function, the bass redirection (crossover frequency).
is there anyway to set this option or is there a driver combination for my hardware allowing me to launch the graphical audio console (where i know u can set this option)?
thx in advance
Apfelstruhdl

Do you have original CD from your bulk card (SB0790 oem bulk)? My is somewhere lost and there is no chance to install full packet of ap
ps.
Two weeks of searching any user, what can help me - without luck... With basic driver, as you wrote, there?s no function of bass redirection. Is Creative lazy or crazy?

X-fi Xtreme Audio Windows 7 SP1

Hello All,
Having issues with my X-fi Xtreme Audio in Windows 7 SP. Drivers are installed and the card is being detected by the Creative Audio Control Panel but not getting any sound coming through my headphones. Have tried the front headphone Jack and rear output no sound on both.
Have Tried the driver from windows update and from Creative same thing with both driver sets. I know the card isn't faulty as the pc dual boots with Ubuntu .04 and the sound card works fine in that OS (on front and rear audio jacks)
I have also tried uninstalling the drivers, then cleaning using driver sweeper then a reinstall and still no sound please help.

#Did this happen right after you install the sound card new or did this happen out of the blue?
Sorry I don't have any further suggestion at this point, you might want to contact Customer Support to see how they can help you further.
