X-Fi Xtreme Audio Bought - Successfully Installed Drivers, but NO 5.

so, as the topic title sais, i just bought the CL X-Fi Xtreme Audo 5.-Card (as i found out, that CL seems to?be the ONLY manufacturer, which has Vista X64-drivers), well and after plugging in the card, successfully installing the driver off the front-page (....XX65a somewhat), also in configuration i could hear sound off all 6 speakers (5+sub) successfully, but when i tried to play mp3-files, i only heard sound off the 2 front-speakers. Is there any option to activate FULL SOURROUND (so 5.) MP3-Playback for windows media player?On my previous sound-drivers - which was realtek 5..-onboard, there was a solution as option 'virtual sourround', which played mp3-files up to all 6 speakers, but also distorted the sound so much - echoes and really 'dumb' sound - that i decided to buy a new 5.-card. I Can't even play movie-files with AC3-Audio (means REAL 5.-channel-mapping) as 5.. There i still hear my Front-Speakers only, too! (at leas my onboard-realtek-driver had this). So how to fix this problems. I'm actually not satisfied with this product and i'm thinking of bringing it back to the shop!?btw - my system :AMD Athlon 64 3800+768 MB RAM (strange number, but it's actually a 52 and a 256)5..-Hardware Sound/Speaker-SystemCL X-Fi Xtreme Audio.i'm running at Windows Vista 64bit Ultimate Edition.

well, thanks for the tip! just tried installing the windows XP-drivers (without the software-lab-music-stuff, so just config tools and included XP(!)-driver) it got installed finely (now i'm having driver 5.2..68 from 3.0.2006) and it managed to load the configuration/console drivers. with the redirect subw. option i got 2. sound (front and sub) and with EAX enabled i managed to get all speakers, but the sound is so awfully equalized and echoed, that this sounds stupid. now i will go to sleep and after that i'm gonna try to install the vista x64-driver from the main-page. thanks again for your help. (i was closely about to bring that card back to store and get me my 70 euros back. (because of the above mentionned issues i had).

    1.  Hello
    2.  Problem with old laser printer and compatibility.
    3.  My computer is a iMac

    5.  printer:  Lexmark Optra S 1255

    Explain #8.
    Did you restart after adding the drivers?
    If you open the System Profiler, under Firewire or Printers what do yo see?
    (Apple Menu/About this Mac/More Info/Firewire or Printer)
    If it sees them then you know it's a configuration problem.

  • Installed drivers but still no sound

    i have installed the sound drivers after i formatted my system...but still the system doesnt detect any sound device..i use windows xp...

    Hi: Since you didn't provide the model # of the PC you are having problems with, it is difficult to determine why your sound isn't working. One reason may be that in addition to the specific hardware audio driver, you also need the Microsoft UAA Driver.

  • Zen Xtra- Installed drivers, but when connected, "USB Device Not Recognized&qu

    Hello- I'm trying to install a Creative Zen Xtra mp3 player on Windows XP. I installed all of the drivers and software, but when I connected the player, I got an error from Windows saying the "USB device is not recognized". I tried downloading all the new drivers and software from Creative, but it's no use. I was hoping maybe someone would have the inf file so I can install the driver manually. I can't find it on the installation CD or online anywhere. Thanks for any help!?~Jim

    having a similar problem myself, recently misplaced the original usb 2.0 cord that came with my microphoto and unable to find a replacement, getting the same message though from other 5pin usb's I've tried

  • X-fi Xtreme Audio card Digital I/O in Windows Vi

    Hallo,?Recently I bought an X-fi Xtreme Audio card and installed it in a PC using both Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista. The card has to work connected to a Creative Inspire 5. Digital 5700 external decoder. I installed the card and used it with no problems under windows XP SP2.
    In order to connect the card with the external decoder I had to check an option "Digital Output only" in Entertainment Mode - Speakers and headphones section. Now, on the same computer, I'm trying to use the card with Windows Vista.
    The system recognize the card and I was able to install software and driver for the card (driver version is .4.65 as "Creative System Information" application reported). If I connect an headphone to Line Out connector I can hear music playing.But I cannot select Digital I/O output.
    In Vista, Entertainment Mode hasn't any checkbox to allow "Digital Output only" to work.
    So I don't have any idea on how select Digital I/O output. Anyone can help me?Thank you in advance.

    Hi?I had the same problem, and here is the solution. ) Make sure u download the latest drivers for Vista. 2) After the installation u can goto the Control Panel> Sound Settings?You will see that there is 2devices listed. st is the Speakers configuration2nd there is the SPDIF configuration. Alter first the Speakers configuration to ur needs, enable the Digital out! > make sure u never select a frequency above 48khzAlter the SPDIF settings and test the sample rates that is given on the screen sothat u know what works with the card and not. If there are any problems leave the settings i gave exactly as instructed, and then goto urAudio Console and check there is a headphone settings and disable them. Try again thereafter!?Good Luck!Marvin?IT & Audio Specialist

  • X-fi Xtreme Audio card problems!

    Hi!?I bought a X-fi Xtreme Audio card today. installed, and now I get a big fps drop in Battlefield 2, first of all I cant enable Creative X-fi in the Audio tap under options in the game, it says the card does not supoort bla bla bla, if I chose to use Hardware I cant play the game due to extreme lag, with normal software, same settings I used with my onboard card, Realtek AC 97, I still got big fps drop... What is this **bleep**?Hey I want my money back, this **bleep** is useless... or is there some sort of fix? or is my card complete garbage?kind regards from an angry customer?//Stripflash

    First, please refrain from using profanity on the forums: it is against the rules.
    Next, it sounds like something definately isn't working right, as the X-fi shouldn't drag down your framerate at all. I would start off with a "cleansweep" uninstall/reinstall. On this website, click "Support" then KnowledgeBase, and in the searchbox type "SID72."
    Let us know how it goes!
    Good luck,

  • S/PDIF options for PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card non-existant!

    Hey guys, I've been searching around for this for a while now and I still come up with anything...
    I currently have a PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card installed in my PC, and this cound card has a built-in optical output port. I have been trying to set the sound card to use this port and I still can not find anyway around it.
    I have searched the support pages and they always go back and say that I can enable audio on that port using the Digital I/O icon in the media console (I'm in Entertainment mode btw, doesn't seem like I can change that). However, I don't have that icon present in my media console. I tried upgrading drivers, updating software but still to no avail
    So right now i'm running Windows XP (32-bit) and what seem to be the latest software and drivers for this card, and none of this is making any sense to me and so I believe that I am going mad!
    I am honestly starting to believe that the port is just there for decoration...

    This seems to be a fairly common issue across out in the market.
    Do you not think it would be worth while chasing this down internal to Creative and sharing the solution with everyone?
    Pointing us one at a time to support for what should be readily available drivers doesn't make a lot of sense.

  • CS6 is successfully installed, but I'm getting a .dll error message upon execution of Premiere Pro.

    I'm on a Windows XP-64bit workstation and have recently and successfully installed CS6, but it appears that Premiere Pro is giving me and error upon execution:
    Adobe Premiere Pro.exe - Entry Not Found
    The procedure entry point NormalizeString could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNET32.dll.
    I have uninstalled and re-installed the software, but to no avail!
    I'm not sure how to even rectify the problem... Can someone please help me on this?

    Umm...
    I'm on a Windows XP-64bit workstation
    That is utterly and completely unsupported. you should not even have been able to install it on this machine. Refer to the system requirements. and seriously, with a highly hardware dependent app such as PPro they mean serious business...

  • Driver Version Not Found" Error when installing drivers for X-fi Xtreme audio

    I recently bought the game Bioshock off steam and have been unable to play as it crashes as soon as I try to launch it. After doing some digging around I found out it was a sound problem. When I was looking at the drivers for my sound card (Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio) I noticed that the driver called:?XFXA_PCDRV_LB__04_0079.exe has a fix for Bioshock. However when I install the driver I get the error "Driver version not found". I am positi've it is the correct driver for my sound card. I am on Windows 7 64bit.

    Hey!
    I have Vista Ultimate x64 and I ran windows update couple days ago. There was a new update for my xtreme audio pci-e. I installed it and now my driver version in creative software update is .3.2. Before i updated i ran creative's own software update. It didn't find any new drivers. I was WTF. I think that new driver fixed my volume problem. I had problem's when there was a deep bass in a song. The sound card lowered volume levels then somehow. Now that happens no more. In vista's device control it shows the driver version as 6.0.0.203. Driver date is 7 october 2008.

  • Best Official way to install drivers on Win7 with Xtrem Audio Notebook (Gray)

    MBest Official way to install drivers on Win7 with Xtrem Audio Notebook (Gray)? Hi Guys and Creative Gurus,
    I have a lot of configuration problem with my Windows 7 configuration and my Xtreme Audio Notebook expresscard (gray one). Mostly due to Creative Drivers installation order. For example, right now the Software Update don't detect my card, even if all seems to work nearly fine (popping and crashing on small sound like directory navigation on Win 7).
    So I'm asking: What is the best and official way to install those drivers, including the Console Launcher, on Win 7 ?
    Do I have to, from a clean Windows 7, to plug my card, wait for Win 7 to detect and donwload drivers, and instal after that my original XP CD drivers coming with the card to have the Console Launcher?
    Or: Do I have, from a clean Win 7 configuration, to remove my internet connection to avoid Win 7 to find a drivers, to install first my XP CD comming from Creative (to have the Console Launcher), and after that to install official Win 7 drivers from Creative web site ?
    Or, do I have, from a clean Win 7 configuration without any internet connection, to first install official Creative Win 7 drivers for my card, and after that to install "something" from "somewhere"? to get the last Console Laucher application?
    Or does Creative made a great full package for my card "a la" Daniel_K for Win 7 I just have to install?
    I'm asking because for my XtremGamers I use Daniel_K Drivers and this guys just made it simple and working!
    Unfortunatly I don't think he have a package for my Xtreme Audio ExpressCard notebook. Anyway, I still apreciate his work !
    And additionnaly: Does Win 7 recquire use of OpenAL (like vista)?
    That sound some stupids question but guess what, I didn't find those simples information in the whole Creative web site or forum!
    Thanks for your lights guys!

  • X-fi Xtreme Audio - Can't access/install mode switcher

    I've been trying to access the touted 'Audio Creation Mode' for its bit-matched playback and sound quality, however I don't have any of the fancy creative driver programs - instead I have a standard Windows 7 menu, with 8 tabs. (I'll try to get screens if it comes to it).
    I double checked my drivers, I am on V .04.0090, however upon attempting to install 'Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Pack .04.0079' , I recieve the error 'Driver Version is not found', preventing me from installing the mode switcher and audio console...
    Stumped on how to fix this,? thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

    Well thanks, but in that case I'm confused by why the post the audio pack alongside the Xtreme Audio in the download section... surely it was meant to be compatible if placed there?

  • New iMac running lion 10.7.2...partitioned drive for  windows xp pro ...successfully installed...up and running(duel boot) but no internet connection on windows side...need drivers?.....please help

    new imac running lion 10.7.2     partitioned HD for duel boot and successfully installed windows xp pro (sp2)....have internet through eithernet cable on the mac side but no internet connection on the windows side....need drivers????   please help

    I too am running xp spiii on my mac with lion. However I installed xp while running snow leopard then upgraded to lion and both are running fine. If you have the support disc that came with the imac all the relevant drivers are on there. The only other thing i would suggest is that you get spiii and upgrade to that.
    Hope that helps
