PCI Express X-fi Xtreme Audio - missing functions - Windows 7 64-bit

Trying to restore functionality to this card in Windows 7 64-bit. After i installed the card and the latest beta drivers from Creative, there seems to be no Gamer Mode option and in games such as Battlefield 242 and Bioshock i cannot select EAX options. All i can use is Entertainment mode. Also the Crystalizer doesn't make things clearer - all it does is make my songs go quiet/loud/quiet/loud/quiet/loud.
Any ideas folks?

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?

X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card not work

Hello, in my first time building a computer, I've had problems that have been solved via various forums, and I'm finally at my last problem that I need to fix. I got an X-Fi extreme audio card that isn't working properly. I know that the card isn't broken or inserted improperly, as when I test the speakers through the card (I'm using the green analog cable, plugged into the card), it works nicely. However, when I try to listen to anything else, like music, youtube, etc, I can only get sound (occasionally) through the headphone jack, which makes things sound really strange through the speakers. When I try to put headphones in (the headphone jack), they don't make any sound. Does anyone know a solution to this? I've tried going through all the settings, turning the mobo's onboard audio controller on and off, and many other things. I'm using a Abit IN9 32X MAX motherboard, Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio VARPAK 7. Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express Interface Sound Card?and 32-bit Vista.

Today you're lucky, i also have an MSI XFI Audio but it's PCIe, if your card is PCIe, here is the CD:This CD is from a user named NUJA, http://nuja.free.fr/SBXAudioPCIe.rar , contain : CREATIVE_ALCHEMY_X-FI .00.07
Audio Console 2.40.2
Console Launcher 2.30.32
Creative Volume Panel 2.0.80
driver din 03/04/2008,6.0.0.20
This CD is better then CD from MSI, it has newer application and drivers.

PCI Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Get No Digital Sound Out to my Surround Reciev

I have read almost everything but CANT FIGURE THIS OUT, PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE :-)
My PCI Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio is conected to my Sony DTS/DD Reci'ver using a Mini Jack to Toslink cabel connected in the blue Digital Out minijack on the sound card and to my Optical?Toslink input on my reciever.

I believe i have the correct settings and the correct cabel, but cant get no digital sound out, whats wrong?
First I tought I neede the Digital I/O module from Creativ, but I have read that this is?NOT necessary.
PLEASE ANY THING THAT CAN HELP ME SOLVE THIS WOULD MAKE ME REALLY HAPPY :-)

YOU DONT NEED THE I/O accesory, or rather it is not essential. (unless your reciever only has digital optical(toslink) in?My experiment worked! alss ya need to connect from the sound cards digital out to your recievers coax digital audio?in is: "mono" mini (/8 inch) male to rca style male coax cable. you may have to choose digital only and somy other tricks from a given creative software(?they vary)?and or select the correct input for a given reciever....my Harman Kardon avr 00?and avr 300 series?are particularly tricky. Got pandora one up and running. Devo sounds good!

No 6.1 channel speakers option with soundblaster x-fi xtreme audio

Here is my problem: I have a 6.1 channel speakers and a yamaha receiver, but my computer doesn't show 6.1 configuration, and neither does the creative software. Both control panel and creative software only have 5.1 and 7.1. When I use my speakers with my dvd player everything works just fine. My soundcard is the soundblast x-fi xtreme audio pci, and I have windows XP. Does anybody know what's going on?

6.1 isn't really a common speaker configuration so I doubt that many sound cards discretely support it. I'm assuming that the only way to get 6.1 audio is from a movie with a Dolby or DTS -encoded track via SPDIF or letting the receiver upmix 5.1 input into the rear mono channel.
How are you connecting the sound card to the receiver? Are you using SPDIF or direct analog connections? If watching DVD movies, I'd recommend SPDIF, provided your DVD software supports it, you should be able to send a 6.1 encoded stream over SPDIF to the receiver, but for everything else I'd recommend the direct 5.1 analog connections, set your sound card to 5.1 and then let the receiver upmix to the rear channel if you so desire to use that feature.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio + Digital I/O mod

I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio which I recently bought together with Logitech Z-5500 system to get surround sound. First I was surprised it only had analog output, but then i saw there was a digital output, but i needed to buy more **bleep** to use it. So I bought the I/O module, got it home today, and I tried to use it with an optical toslink cable. However, it didn't work, and when I looked on the website it seems the module is not capable with my card?! I thought i checked it, but I probably just took for granted it would in fact work since the card has one of these digital I/O outputs on the backside.
So, have I now thrown away both the money for the card and for the I/O module or am I just too stupid to make it work?

It is compatible with your card, but you won't get multichannel audio from sources that aren't already encoded as DD/DTS streams. If you don't get any sound at all check that the flexijack is configured as digital I/O instead of line-in and that it doesn't need to reset with every reboot.

PLEASE HELP!! ExpressCard Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card for NOTEBO

Hi. I'm new here and found this forum because I have problems with my?Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card for notebooks. The card itself works fine with my Dell XPS notebook but I also purchased the upgrade kit-speaker docking module that would allow me to play my 4/4. speakers. The problem lies withiin the speaker docking module (upgrade kit). I'm running Windows Vista, could this be the problem? I don't get sound from my speakers. When I run the diagnostic test I only hear sounds from my front left and right speakers and nothing from my sub and my back speakers. I hear NOTHING when I play music or anything off of my laptop. Please help with this issue. Thank you.

That's great, but ideally i would require to purchase from the UK.....

Xtreme Audio AC3 SPDIF in Prob

I had an Audigy 2 ZS that I had configured to decode AC3 5. via SPDIF. Worked great.
I bought a new box that only supported half height cards. I bought a X-Fi Xtreme Audio card, removed the bracket (How about a half height bracket guys!?), bought a Digital I/O module and I was up and running.
Unfortunately, now I can only use PCM in on the optical in. AC3 decoding seems to be broken. Any suggestions? I would really like my 5. back!

Well, I got a little closer. I download graphedit and AC3Filter.
Added the sound card from audio capture source and rendered the capture pin. Press play and got a bunch of garbled junk. For some reason AC3Filter believes the AC3 input is 2.0 audio. Anybody have any ideas on how to get the actual 5. stream?
So...
I changed the source back to PCM and set the output to 5.. That was pretty close. Now I have 5. sound coming out. Unfortunately, the audio was delayed by about second. Anybody know of a CLI that will play a graph? Hoping to get the audio in sync.

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.

looking for danial k drivers

HI jmacguire
Sorry if i'm Wrong , but there is two versions available for Xtreme Audio one is PCI Version not True Xtreme Audio and Other One is PCI Express I think it's true Xtreme Audio ,and the PCI Express Version has Different Audio Chip Inside,and may they are using different driver versions....... U should Check it on Creative Drivers Used For Xtreme Audio PCI Version And PCI-Express Version Is different, Daniel Pack Has only PCI versions....

Issues related to Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express 1)

Hi, I've recently bought a SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express edition).
Before I address my issue, I'd like to point out that my rig is:
Maximus Extreme (mobo)?
Q6600 (cpu)
ATI4870 (vid card)
4Gigs of DDR3 (ram)
and my OS is Vista Home Edition (32 bit precision)?
And so after physically installing the hardware, I quickly installed everything there was on the CD- this included the drivers available on the CD. After this installation, I restarted then found most recent updates via online sources (creative.com). But even after all of this, I wasn't able to get my microphone to work. Now from my understanding, the jack is shared between Line-In and Microphone and I'm supposed to configure this setting. And so I tried to do that, but my only problem was that I was unable to use any of the available features. After researching for a few hours I found out that I, appearently have to uninstall everything that I had installed and then reinstall everything from online sources (from creative.com-- latest drivers for vista 32 bit). But even then, I still can't use my mic or configure the settings so that I could use microphone instead of Line-In.
Now going back to my actual question, how do I configure the settings so that I could use Microphone instead of Line-In?

ERe: Issues related to Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI Express )[ Bumping.
Almost the same problem here.
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio edition, Windows 7 64bit.
I downloaded the latest driver from the Creative site, installed it, update with the update manager and then i installed the console.
Issue number : I DONT have your same console. I dont have a "Mode" button, im stuck in Entertainment Mode. I cant control almost nothing and i dont have all the options u have.
Issue number 2: My mic isnt working good. It's VERY low on volume, i cant be heard without the +20db boost (the only boost option i have, i cant boost more) and even with that acti've that's not that loud.
It is still working good with my onboard realtek soundcard. I cant understand what's the problem and how to solve it.
Ah, my headset is a Creative Fatality.

X-fi Xtreme Audio doesn't work in Windows 7 64 bit

Hello everyone,
I know this is a known issue and I've found many topics on this, but still I can't find any solution and I hope you can help.
I've a Creative X-fi Xtreme Audio that was working perfectly under Windows XP SP3 but then I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit and the sound coming out from my speakers is awful. I've installed the latest driver from creative home site, I've updated the OS via "microsoft Update", I've tried many suggestions I've found on the web to solve this, like phisically change the PCI slot of the sound card, or reduce the ram ammount via msconfig but it didn't work. I've tried some custom driver either, the support pack 2.7 by Daniel?K. but nothing... I'm still at the starting point.
What should I do?
This is my actual configuration:
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Premium SP v 6..760
CPU: AMD Athlon 64x2 6000+
MB: Asus M3N78 SE (with the latest bios version 002)
Ram: 4gb
Video: nVidia GeForce GT 220

I use CS4 on a Windows 7 64-bit computer.
I noticed that none of the extensions I installed with the Extension Manager don't appear at all in any of the CS4 programs.
Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work or how to solve this problem?
Try posting to the Extension Manager forum:
