Hmm ... are you using Asio4All (IIRC, xtreme audio does not have nati've asio driver)?
Adjust the ASIO buffer size smaller (slider on control panel of asio4all (or on Creatives own asio panel)).

X-FI Xtreme Audio (OEM) problems with Guitar Po

Hey all, I just upgraded from a SB Li've 5. Sound card to an X-FI Xtreme Audio Card and am now having problems with guitar port. There seems to be a delay or lag time from playing to actually hearing the sound. It sounds like its about half a second or so which makes it really annoying for trying to play. Is there a remedy for this or is there something wrong with the card/drivers?Also, is Line in and Mic levels no longer in the windows volume?playback control?

You should be able to control I/Os through Windows mixer(s) and Creative Control Panel (comes with the driver package). If you like to install those software intend for X-Fi you need to download the CD image from BadBoys site (if he still has the site up an running). You get those mixers showing up either through panel which pops up when you enter mmsys.cpl in start->run... prompt (Audio tab, Volume buttons). Individual mixer panels can be called with commands sndvol32 (play) and sndvol32 /r (recording). The lag you have there is normally called as latency. You get rid of it by using ASIO driver mode with 2 - 0ms latency settings. You can set the latency through ASIO controlpanel. If the guitarport has an ASIO driver it's own, use it's control panel or try with asio4all driver (http://www.asio4all.com).jutapaMessage Edited by jutapa on 0-9-20080:0 PM
Is this a standalone driver? Or is it something used in addition to an existing sound driver? I'm having a similar problem with my mic, there is a delay (and it has to be turned up really loud to be heard, although that may be a different problem) and I'm looking for a solution.

X-Fi Xtreme Audio proble

Yesterday I bought one of these cards because previously I was using a Logitech 350 USB headset where the mic on it stopped working and was making really loud popping and scratching noises, almost as if a fan were blowing on it really hard. I use vent a lot so it would get really bad for my friend's ears. So I decided since I have to buy a new headset, I might as well do it proper and buy a sound card with it. The headset I bought with it is a Plantronics Media 350 just for reference.
When I got home I installed it and started fiddling with the settings, while setting them I would notice the windows noises, the 'beeps' and 'dings' and whatnot sounded funny, like a little scratchy and distorted or something. but then randomly while messing with some settings they would sound normal and work fine again, so I thought nothing of it. Once I got it all set up to how I like it I tested the mic, all seemed to work fine however there was a bit of scratching/interference in the background. (was using windows sound recorder for testing) Wasn't extremely bad so I ignored it. Other than that everything seemed fine.
The next morning I get on to talk with a friend on ventrilo, he said it was doing the same thing again, a lot of loud popping and scratching. So I opened windows sound recorder to see for myself, sure enough it's almost the same exact thing but more 'noise' like instead of like before on the USB headset where that one sounded like loud whipping noises from wind blowing on it. However it's very close. Fiddling with the settings again randomly it'll work for no reason, so I just close the settings and leave it be. But again randomly it will do these things, mic stop working making loud scratching/popping noises, windows sounds getting distorted. Also I noticed when it does work correctly, even the little noise/scratching from recording is gone now, where it was there yesterday morning when everything was working fine. However when something messes up it's loud popping and cracking and you can hardly even hear what you have recorded.
What's the deal here? I've got the latest drivers etc, also I've looked through device manager and made sure all the USB headset stuff was gone, even looking through with show hidden devices/ghosted items from earlier installs.
I have no previous sound card installed on this windows install other than the USB headset and I think whatever integrated sound I have for this motherboard, however not actually using it (disabled in bios).
Now I've read other forums/posts where people are having scratching and popping noises like this, however I'm not sure if the problem I am having is the same, so I thought I'd make my own post.
EDIT: Also forgot to add, playing songs and games, watching movies, running the sound tests in the console all sound fine, no distortion or anything. it just seems to be windows sound and when recording.
What i've done so far:
Tested my old mic on another computer, it indeed was broken and would make loud whipping and cracking noises.
Tested my new mic on another computer, worked just fine.
Checked to see if sound card is using the same IRQ, it is not.
Just switched pci slots, no difference. also checked pci latency, it is at 32, no idea what this should be so I will leave it alone for now.

X-Fi Xtreme Audio Line-In no

Hello there!I bought recently an X-Fi Xtreme Audio card and the purpose is to record my electric guitar.With my old Sound Blaster card I used to plug the guitar into an amp and from the amp go to the line-in. It worked OK, but the latency was quite big.With the new X-Fi card I can hear very well the guitar at the output and then I run effects software (I use Guitar Rig and also some other free software). For a few seconds everything works OK, but then a very loud high frequency noise kicks in. This noise is present even if the amp is not plugged at the Line-in input.What could be the cause?Thanks a lot for your help!

Could it be feedback?
Check your monitoring and source settings (don't use "what u hear" as recording source).
If you use the VST/DX version of GR (etc.) in some VST host/recording software then use ASIO drivers only.

Hi. Does Xtreme Audio support Creative ASIO drivers for low latency recording?

Never seen mentioned it would ... asio4all driver should work w/ this model too.

Help, should I get xtreme audio or xtreme music?

I want to get a sound card for my PC. Currently I am using an in built Realtek sound card. I need the sound card for the purposes of recording vocal performances using karaoke backing tracks connecting a karaoke player to a mixer (connected to a studio condenser mic) which is connected to the line in input of the PC. I also need it to record vocal and acoustic guitar performances (guitar connected to the Behringer 202FX mixer). I don't know which sounblaster sound card is suitable for my need. At the moment my eyes are on xtreme music and xtreme audio but I don't know the difference. I know xtreme music has the audio creation feature (as well as the entertainment and gaming features) but I don't know if xtreme audio also has this audio creation feature. Does xtreme audio has a Graphical Interface Unit (GUI) which has an audio creation settings like in this Youtube video tutorial?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocsxTUZa60I?
Can anyone give me any advise as to which one is the one that works for what I want to do?

None. Stay away from creative as if have win7 you are burned. The cards will give you great problems as they do not have proper drivers. Most possibly you won't hear anything from your speakers.

X-fi xtreme audio option on windows 7

%x-fi xtreme audio option on windows 7? hello all members and staff from soundblaster.
i come here to find help about a situation i have steped on and is making me some lack.
i am using windows 7 and downloaded the latest drivers from soudblaster for my x-fi xtreme audio (non pci-e) and i noticed that an option enabled on other operating sistems is no longer avaiable.
this option was called the 'what you hear' and basicaly it captured by hardware all my computer sounds and allowed me to record them with no problems. with windows 7 i am not having this option anymore.
this option was very usefull for me since i was operating a small radio online for events on a 3d virtual city and that way i was able to send music and my voice over a stream to all members on that virtual city with excelent quality.
at this time, without that option, i dont know how to set up a good quality and due this issue i wish to know if this functionality of the soudcard will be avaiable again with windows 7.
i had this feature either with windows XP or vista.
with no further subjets, my thanks in advance for any help provided.

Satellite A660-167 - audio latency actually really high

Hello guys.
I'm having a Toshiba A660-167 and i'm having a problem with the audio latency, it's actually really high.
I'm using Windows 7 home premium 64bit and i have allready tried to use windows 7 32bit and windows Xp but the problem remains.
Toshiba allready tried to ''fix'' my problem but as they said my laptop works perfectly.
If somebody knows something about latency problem his help will be highly appreciated..
thanks in advance

I already work for weeks daily on the poblem with audio dropouts on my A660.
The only thing that helps, is to connect a additional screen to my laptop. And there must run something with grafik. So it seems, the dropout problems come from NVIDIA, when it have not enough to work. (Of course i have the latest drivers).
I am really angry about this problem. When i work as dj i cannot place a second screen on the table. And when i record songswith my band i do not have enough place in our small studio too.
I bought the toshiba because i thought it is a fast thing. But on my old pentium pc with xp running, i never had any problems like this in 5 years.
I think the best solution will be to sell my 5 week old satellite, and never buy again anything from toshiba.

Xtreme Audio Notebook - Toshiba Laptop

&Xtreme Audio Notebook - Toshiba Laptop? Here is my request for help :-)
I am running Vista Home sp2
I am using this CL sound card for some minor audio for band functions (where my midi keyboard doesnt cut it).
In Sonar - the software will NOT see this device as an ASIO device. If I run Asio4all, it will but thats very limited.
This whole process started by me trying to get less latency out of the laptop for a midi function and within Sonar - its only recognizing the device as an MME device. While that is "ok" its far from optimal, and if I put any kind of a load on it the latency grows to the absurd side.
My first question - am I mistaken or is this device supposed to suport ASIO mode?
Next - if it is - how can I find out why its not working as expected? I am not looking for folks to do the work for me, just hoping someone may have seen this in the past and had any suggestions
I have used the latest drivers I could find from the CL support site to replace the default windows vista drivers, and I have tweaked all the settings I can find, but still having some large latency issues and using MME is certainly not helping.
Any thoughts or pointss are certainly appreciated!

Please disregard and close/archi've this thread.
I missed the part about the Xtreme Audio Notebook NOT having asio drivers.
I purchased a new X-Fi surround and while I am having some smaller issues, I am certainly seeing a marked improvement.

24 bit 96 kHz on Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio so

I have a Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card.According to data sheets it has 24 bit 96 kHz recording and output. When I set recording options in Adobe Audition .5 to
Sample rate to 96kHz
Stereo
32 bit float
In the Edit View down left it says "recording as 6 bit"
If I change to 44. kHz it says "recording as 24 bit"?Someone told me that I the HW does not support 24 bit (32 bit float) but is compatible to 24 bit, i.e. it samples at 6 bit but provides internal data that is 24bit. The same somone told me that I needed a E-Mu 0404 card to get true 24 bit(32 bit float) and 96 kHz resolution. Can anyone from the technical support tell if this is the case or not.

Audio latency

I started podcast four months ago. I use a USB Blue Snowball microphone. I interview my guests through Skype. I had not noticed much of audio latency until over a month ago when my voice through the Snowball microphone took about 1-2 seconds to come out the speakers at times. The software I am using is Audio Hijack Pro 2.9.7. I have just found latency of my voice on the recent recordings from my guests'. What is the problem? What can I do to reduce the audio latency as much as possible? My iMac is 3.06 GHz with 4 GB RAM.
In the meantime, I found that if I use the analog microphone, there is no audio latency in the final recording. If you think this is advisable, what is the analog headset or microphone you would recommend?
Thank you very much.
Robert

BTW, I can switch to 2-channels at 24 bit for speaker but cannot set the Blue Snowball at 2-channels at 24 bit. Is at 24 bit will reduce the audio latency?
Thanks.
Robert

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI Express - Softwar

Hi,I am looking forward to buy this product:?http://de.europe.creative.com/produc...uct=6770&nav=2?Does anybody know which software is on the?cd included, besides drivers ?Hope that there will be a kind of recording software maybe like creative smart recorder on it.Simply want to record audios from a line in source and need a recorder which runs with Vista. Thanks for any information in advance. Kind regards.

Thanks a lot for this link. So Creative MediaSource Player should be on the CD of Xtreme Audio. When I remember right this was also on the CD of my Soundblaster USB 2 NX.And with this player?it worked well to record line in sources as mp3.

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio: Mic Interfere

I have an ASUS P5B-Deluxe WiFi AP motherboard which I had a few problems with to begin with and had to RMA two different boards back to eBuyer (bad memory controller & broken battery holder)
The problem is when I speak over the microphone to friends they report a train sound coming from my end. When I try recording using the built in XP sound recorder I can replicate the train sound. It sounds like bad interference/crackling. This is random though because when I stop the recording and start it again it can be fine until I restart it again. I have tried on many occasions uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and even installing older drivers. I have even tried every possible configuration within SoundMAX the tool where you configure the on board sound. I have tried various microphones including a superbeam microphone provided with the motherboard and a Logitech headset with a microphone. I have tried disabling microphone boost and muting every other sound channel expect for my left and right speaker.
I became fed up so I decided to buy a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card thinking that would be the end of my mic problems (Yes i did uninstall everything related to the on board audio from ASUS and disabled on board audio in BIOS). Last week I ditched my on board audio for a Creative X-Fi sound card from Scan.co.uk. It worked instantly out the box, I installed the drivers that were provided on the CD that came with the sound card. The auto updater then update the drivers to the latest. However up until today the problem has started with the Creative card. It started with a friend saying he could hear train like sounds coming from my mic in game and I decided to check it out with Windows sound recorded and in fact the problem has resurfaced. I can record fine up until I stop and start again. Occasionally when I restart recording the interference/high pitched noise starts, I can tell by the graphic line moving up and down without me making any sound.
For peoples viewing pleasure I saved a raw sound recording from Windows Sound Recorder tool http://rapidshare.com/files/6566423/interference.wav
I am starting to think this problem may be related to my case fans. I have them on the medium setting, 3x20mm fans and a 200mm fan on the top of my case.
Here are my system specs:
Motherboard: ASUS P5B-Deluxe WiFi
Processor: Intel E6600
Memory: 2xGB Corsair PC-6400 at 5-5-5-2
Power Supply: Corsair 520W
Case: Antec 900
Help would be appreciated. Thanks

Bump.
I am having this issue as well.
Got an eVGA nForce 680i MoBo, never had other problems with it.
This is the second problem I have with my Xtreme Audio, and should nobody have a response, I will be sending it back where it came from.
I am sick of the terrible support Creative offers. :-(
