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.

  • X-FI Extreme Audio Line in and

    Hey?
    can i Emulate the Audio Line-In to 4. Sorround Sound?
    On my Line in i have a Recei'ver and i would like to use my Sorround System.
    Any Chance?
    regards

    Re: -Re: X-FI Xtreme Audio/ Line-IN + Mic Problem? OK Gentleman, the problem is fixed, and this with the original and actuall creative drivers.
    Because daniel_k`s unofficial soundpacks didnt work for me, i decided to install the actuall creative drivers and started a support request. In the meanwhile i installed the official updates which are provided in autoupdate function. With driver .4000 there is no possibility to set flexijack to mikro so its not possible to use the mikrophone.
    After restart the windows update function shows an creative update, which is not shown with the creative autoupdate tool (ugly i think but thats true). I decided to use the windows update, downloaded it, restarted the pc and now...
    Start Creative systemconfig:
    Now everything works fine. EAX is working, Crystalizer is working... The only thing which is not possible... using 2 analog inputs at same time. Because i own a analog tv card, i have to use the onboard realtek analog cd in. With XP and Vista it was possible to watch tv and use teamspeak for example... now i can watch tv or use teamspeak but its not possible to do this at same time.

  • Speaker/Line In problem with Xtreme Audio c

    I bought an SB X-FI Xtreme Audio card yesterday and installed it using the latest driver pack from Creative. Seems to work fine except for one thing. When I connected my turntable and played a record, I cannot hear the sound through my speakers. In the help file on the included CD it says you can monitor the input with stereo speakers in the line out connection, and this of course is where my speakers are connected. I must be missing something, but can't see what it is. Will someone please help me out? Thanks.

    Ah- can't edit here? I wanted to add that I know the Line In and my turntable are working fine since I recorded the record I was playing on my hard dri've and it plays back fine from there.

  • 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 Iss

    Heya guys, I did all the googling I could and I am having no luck with this one...
    I picked up a new sound card from Best Buy the other day, it's a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio, and it seems nice enough, except for three little problems I'm having.
    First, and most importantly, the microphone port does not work. Basically, the jack it goes in (on the back panel, more on front panel jack later in this post) is a multipurpose jack, that accepts digital i/o, and also has line in/mic mode. I've made sure my volumes are correct and have done everything I can find to do to make the mic work, but alas, there is no success. I am stumped on this one now.
    Second, for audio out in the first out port (2. speaker setup), there is only sound coming out the right side. Cable is alright and speakers are alright, the sound card is just not putting out Right-Side audio. Again, I have checked balance/volume levels on this one and am having absolutely no luck. By the way, the front audio jack does the same thing as the back.
    Third, the front MIC port, when plugged in, causes the sound out (front and back) to start making a bunch of noise, and it drops all of the actual sound out. There is just a lot of squealing which continues until I mute and then unmute the volume. The sound continues even after you remove the mic.
    I honestly don't know what to do about these issues. What sound there is, I love. It sounds much better than onboard. But these issues are bugging me and I can find no solutions around the forums that are working.
    Thanks in advance!

    You'd be better off returning it and replacing it with something else completely. These issues of buggy behaviour and no support are common across all Creative products, if you change your card for another Creative card you'll just be swapping one set of issues for another which will never be resolved.

  • 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.

  • Creative Labs sent me the email announcing that the X-Fi Xtreme Audio works withVista!

    Why settle for basic, built-in sound? The ad asks.Wow look at all the specs...Speaker and Headphone connections for stereo to 7.Line In / Microphone In / Digital Out / Digital I/O / Auxiliary Line level Input?Wait a minute...this is the card I already have that I can only get drivers that makes me settle for basic sound. Better yet... I pulled it out and went back to my on board soudcard so I could get most the stuff that I am supposed to have with the X-Fi. This is what they offer for drivers for this card...Provides basic audio support and control options for sampling rate and speakers only. Looks to me that Creative is trying to dupe the public into buying products that is currently inferior.

    Well, this is the newest driver that pulls up from?the model number of the one in the ad. Doesn't look certified to me and it only supplies basic functionality. Very misleading ad.

  • 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 (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.

    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 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 No

    I just purchased the X-Fi Xtreme AudioI downloaded the lastest driversI set the microphone to be the defaultI plugged the microphone into the correct portI rebooted?Still can not use the microphone on my headset. We I check the configuration setting on the microphone it says that it is working but in the Jack Information it says "No Jack Information Found"?What is the deal......

    That card never has and never will support EAX5 or 28 voices,
    <span class="mw-headline">X-Fi Xtreme AudioThe entry-level model of the X-Fi series, the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio, does not actually have the EMU20K chip but is a re-branded Audigy SE, using the same family of chips (CA006-WBTLF), and even the same drivers.[4] Thus, not only is all of the X-Fi?related processing performed in software, but it also lacks basic hardware acceleration just like the SB Li've! 24-bit, the Audigy SE and other budget Soundblaster models. The X-Fi Xtreme Audio does not use the same drivers as the rest of the X-Fi family, some games do not recognize it as being "X-Fi capable hardware", and the device's hardware profile resembles that of older Li've! and Audigy cards.
    Furthermore, users have reported that it slows down some applications and games, and that rear sound in games (all) is muffled and of profoundly low quality.[5][6][7] Thus, even if the card is marketed as part of the X-Fi line, it does not belong to it technically, just like the Audigy SE doesn't technically belong to the Sound Blaster Audigy series. The card is not marketed as supporting the "X-Fi Gaming Mode" (but is still marketed as "X-Fi" ), and there are no official implicit or explicit statements regarding its having hardware acceleration or not.

  • PCI Express X-FI Xtreme Audio - Mic and mixer problems

    6PCI Express X-FI Xtreme Audio - Mic and mixer problems' Trouble started two days ago when I updated to the latest X-FI drivers. Now I have no mixer and I can't figure out how to get my mic to work. The only thing that has changed is the updating of drivers. I am using senheiser headphones with mic for use on ventrillo. In the old set up I could go into the mixer and tell the software that the Line-In was a mic and it would work perfectly. Now I can't get the mic to work at all since there is no creative mixer. The windows mixer doesn't allow you to do anything worth wild.
    I don't have the old software so I can't go back to the old setup. I am using Vista 64. What the heck am I doing wrong? Why won't the software now recognize that I am plugging in a mic!?!?!?
    BAH!!!!
    PLEASE HELP!

    Doesn't Vista have some sort of automatic checkpointing feature that gives you a way to back up to a point before you updated the drivers?

    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.
