X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Falality Pro and I/O Dr

I have an I/O (front panel) dri've from my old Audigy Platinum that I want to use on my new X-Fi Fatality Pro. I have the IDE-like cable connected, but I cannot get any audio out of the headphone jack (I want this because my roommate goes to bed early and always complains about my speakers being too loud). The speakers I have are an old set of Creative Inspire 4400 4.'s. I have messed with all of the settings I can think of that would be relevant to the issue (unmute auxilliary, make sure volumes are turned up, etc), but all I can hear from my headphones hooked to the front panel headphone jack is static. Is there some setting I am missing?Thanks for any help.

Istarth the new X-Fi Extreme Gamer Fatalty Pro is not new per se, just a Fatalty FPS repackaged without the controller box and remote. In other words it's just the same exact card without the addons, it also has the same exact 64MB Xram and same software bundle. This was verified by Creative when I called them.
The drop in price on the Fatalty FPS to $200 makes it tempting to still get the FPS instead at only $50 more though, especially if you plan on hooking anything up to it like a console. The remote alone on the FPS is very handy and sophisticated and makes a lot of the adjustments quicker and easier.
Since the Extreme Gamer Pro just debuted though, the prices have yet to drop much. Best price I found so far is $27. You can get the FPS for $85 with free shipping at Newegg though. BTW, if you have an HDTV or stereo you want to get 5. audio to your PC from, you can use the controller box on the FPS to do so via a digital audio cable.
There is an option as well to buy the very inexpensi've $5 Digital I/O Module accessory for the Extreme Gamer which is a pigtail adapter that has a digital audio input for such purposes.

Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Pro problem

Hello,
I own a Sound Blaster X-FI Xtreme Gamer Fatalty Pro and I have a problem with it. If I want to switch to speakers or headphones, by removing the jack and inserting another one back to the sound card, the sounds stops, or it emits a sounds like when someone connected to an ECG dies. I can only swap headphones with speakers and viceversa when the computer is shut off.
Can you please help me?

Hi,
Did this happen right out of the box or do you own the card for some time now?
Just in case, please ensure that the sound card is firmly seated on the pci slot.

It works on 3 other computers (my friends and my old one wich is a p4 2.4 with a? asrock mobo) and the best i managed it to do was the sound card being installed working for a reboot or 2 and then just start to hiss and then i shutdown the computer and the device manager tells me again that the device could not start etc etc etc... code 0 error blah blah
I have onboard sound disabled (in BIOS), tried every OS there is (XP sp sp2 sp3, Vista 32 sp Vista 64 sp Win7 32 Win7) coupled with every pack of drivers (creative site and non creative site)?there is and fresh installs of OS from xp to vista and win7 with no use.
If someone here can be of some help i would be very gratefull!
The card is a Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatalty pro
Btw: the pc is a core i7 with a Gigabyte X58-UD4 6g ram currently with vista 64

E Anyone get to the bottom of this I keep getting the card recognised as a multimedia audio controller in Vista 64.
Nothing I do will get this to work, when I force it to use the driver from the disc/internet or non-creative drivers this device just states could not start code 0.
The card works in my other machine vista 32 bit.

X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Pro *not worki

I purchased the card and installed as per instructions with no joy. All i get is blue screen to blue screen. I have tried everything and it doesnt work. The worst of it is being on hold on the so called "creative support line" for 95 minutes and nobody answers. Its a disgrace. You have failed to provide a support service by telephone. So now i have to waste my time registering and typing. Specs are as follows. Sort this out. I paid good money and have so far received nothing in return.

From what I gathered from reading all of the problem threads, is that the model number changed and the ppl that have the newer models seem to not be having the problems. Like for Xtreme Music ppl that have 'MASB' in the beginning of their model seem to be the ones having the problems.Price differance between XTreme Gamer and the Fatalty one with X-ram is so low theres no point in Not getting the x-ram. Unlike the other hardware in computers, your sound card actually lasts. I had an old SB Gamer 5., back when 6bit was still around that lasted me 5 years, and got it for like $30 at the time. The fatalty one is about $30.My main concern has nothing to do with spending a little more for some thing that may not be used ( the x - ram ) but more of is it worth spending a little more for a sound card ppl Haven't been having problems with.
With respect, the MASB reference you are refering to is the 4 characters normally at the begining of the serial number.
My sound card actually has the 4 character prefix MASB, and I have had none of the issues that have previously been discussed in other threads. In my opinion, I can seriously doubt we can say which system setup will have the issues and which won't. The most probable way of testing is just to get one and try it.
For example I have a Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 Mainboard, I have had no problems with the X-Fi Fatalty since purchase, buy my friend has the same board, but has had the previously mentioned issues.

Conflicting Channel Assignments -- Xtreme Gamer X-Fi and Logitech Z-5300 Speak

I do know there is a similar post here about the Z-5500 series of speakers, and I do understand they are in the same family, but my problem is neither fixable with the suggestions in the post, nor is it the same as those people have posted. Thus I have deemed mine unique.
My current rig:
Intel Quad Core Extreme 2.6ghz
Asus Striker Extreme nForce motherboard
4GB Mushkin DDR RAM
500 GB Hard Dri've
Creative Labs Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Gamer
2x EVGA GeForce 8800 Ultra
Windows Vista 64-bit
Logitech Z-5300 5. Speaker System
So I had some problems initially getting surround sound to work on this computer (but nothing like what I am experiencing now), but finally after a day of messing around and tweaking I had awesome, crisp sound for about a month now. All 5 speakers and the sub in this system were performing correctly. All of a sudden today, I changed NOTHING, I was actually in the middle of listening to music and the sound started cutting in and out on certain speakers.
I rebooted, still had the same issue. I decided to check the connectivity of every speaker and the stereo mini-plugs that link the speaker system to the sound card. Everything checked out, I ran the diagnostics agent and the THX console and the channel test worked fine. I put music back on and the same thing happened, in frustration I checked the wires. I grabbed the wires which connect computer to speakers (subwoofer) and jiggling the wires made the sound cut in and out on 2 speakers (but not 2 speakers which share the same channel, it was the RL and FL.) Thinking that I had crunched a wire I swapped them with 3 other mini-plugs...same thing happened. I then ran the diagnostic/speaker assignment agent several times, getting completely and utterly nonsensical output. Subwoofer noises coming from the RR, no center channel at all ever etc. The bizarre assignments actually kept changing themselves too.
From here on I entered a six-hour flurry of frustrating trials. I did the common-sense stuff, checked connections (because I do have some speakers extended with a coupling and RCA cable), powered system and speakers down several times. Finally I deemed it may be a Vista/software issue (since Vista thought that just for sillies the other day it would randomly uninstall one of my video cards, I thought I could be having similar issues) I uninstalled/reinstalled the latest X-fi drivers and all the components. Still the issue persisted, any time I ran a channel test the speaker assignments were totally wrong, with no way to correct them.
I then resigned myself to the fact it must be a hardware issue, maybe I had knocked my sound card out slightly, or maybe the it was just too hot (its placement in my case is rather poor, the only place it fits is between the two monstrous GeForce 8800s which are just heatbricks.) I powered down my case, let things cool off, popped the card out and back in. Did another driver reinstall...same issues...just different channels scrambled.
For the last hour now the results of THX speaker tests in the audio console have at least been consistent (before it was just random scrambling) now I get the FL, no center sound, front right, rear right comes from the subwoofer, no rear left, no subwoofer. I have no explanation for any of this. I had no issues until today, and I gotta say this one ambushed me. I have never experienced anything more random or stubborn.
Any thoughts and suggestions would be much appreciated, as much as spending even more money on this hobby pains me, I am very close to attempting to purchase new speakers just to give me some peace of mind.

There was aWindows update with some sound drivers recently, that may explain why this happened unexpectedly recently. Try rolling back your drivers. Question, you mention Vista and XP64, which do you have?I can't get 5. under XP64 with 4gig of RAM, if you had yours working under XP64 can I get a copy of your old driver?

X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatality Pro doesn't work anymore?

So a few days ago I re-formatted my computer (with Windows Vista). The sound drivers installed fine, and everything was good. Fast forward to today. Sound was working, but after a restart my sound only comes through my headset. From checking in control panel, it doesn't even see my card. I re-installed the drivers, no dice. I even uninstalled the drivers, did a sweep with Driver Sweeper, restarted, and reinstalled, but nothing.
Any ideas?

Hi,
Yes 6. is still available in this driver - I also have a 6. set up (Inspire 6700 speakers).
But only under XP - if you use Vista then you only get 5. or 7..
Hope that helps
Colin

Massive Sound problems with X-Fi Gamer F. Pro + BF2

Hi,
First of all, my system:
CPU: Intel E6400 (not overclocked)
Mobo: DFI Infinity 975X/G (most recent BIOS)
RAM: 2 GB OCZ
Video: GeForce 7900 GT
Other PCI card: Netgear W-Lan card
OS: Win XP 32 Bit SP 2
I bought a new X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatalty Pro. (SB0460) last wednesday. It's working fine except in BF242. The trouble starts when I change the Settings to "X-Fi" and very high sound quality. As soon as I start to load a map I hear some strange scratching noise and sometimes the music disappears. And then all of a sudden something like a soundstorm bursts out of my speakers (http://rapidshare.com/files/527654/Stoergeraeusche.mp3.html for those who would like to hear it). It sounds as if the X-Fi was accessing the BF242 sound database and mixing all kinds of different sounds with some scratching noise. This only happens in gaming mode and only if I turn on "X-Fi" in the BF242 settings. If I choose "hardware" instead (resulting in very high sound quality not beeing available anymore, only high quality) I don't have any problems at all. This leads me to believe that there might be some issues with EAX 5.0. BF242 is the only EAX 5.0 game I own and the only game I'm having problems with.
I've already deinstalled the drivers and removed all the remains with with "Driver Cleaner". I reinstalled them, I've switched the W-Lan card with the X-Fi, I've removed the W-Lan card completely and I've reinstalled BF242, but without success.
Is there any solution for this problem or could it be possible that I bought a broken X-Fi?
Regards,
Niddi

I Join the club i have had this problem for ages my games will just freeze and then i get this crazy screetching noise i have never been able to fix the problem its creative all over for you crapy drivers i have had enough of creative and wont be bying one of their cards again try it in a different pci slot or try some different drivers if its still in warranty complain to creative get shirty with them and they might rma it if all else fails goods luck rich

Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty - Computer randomly freezes accompanied by a single be

I just bought my X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatalty Pro Series and my computer randomly freezes for up to 0 seconds and I hear a single beep from my internal computer speaker after which my system goes back to normal for about 5 to 0 minutes and then it repeats the same process. I have upgraded all my drivers for my motherboard, including flashing my bios to an updated version, and I ran the creative software auto update from the website and updated the drivers and software and I'm still having the same issue. I am running a Dell XPS 400 system:?Dell DXP05 MotherboardPentium D830 Dual Core Smithfield @ 3.0Ghz2 gigs ramXFX Nvidia GeForce 7900GS 256mb Video Cardand X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatalty Pro Series Card?Any thoughts?

UK release for Xtreme gam

I was just looking at your international site and there are 3 extra models of x-fi than on the UK page. I'm particularly interested in the Xtreme Gamer Fatalty card, and wondered if a UK release is planned, and if so when and has a rough price been drawn up?
Also, what is the major differences between the Xtreme Gamer (not fatalty) and the xtreme music?

I have the Exteme Gamer card and in SCP's like crazzy. Don't be swaid by the add's; these card do not work as addvertised. Your taking a big risk by buying one of these card becuase 50% of them don't work as intended and there is no fix for half of the problems people are having. I own one of these card and do not recommend buying one. Shop around, Creative is not the only producer of sound cards. I suggest you check out http://www.razerzone.com/Products/Ga...ng-Sound-Card/?. Its not out yet, but most people can wait for sound cards; at leased?it will be?one that works.

XFI Xtreme Gamer New Old Prob

Hi guys first off an apology as this is going to be a long ass post
Right i have a problem with my XFI card which i know is not a new problem, but for me it is first off a bit of background..
My old machine which was as follows:
DFI Lanparty NF4 SLI-DR-Expert
AMD 64 3700+/4200+ X2
2 GIG OCZ Platinum EL DDR 3200
2 X 7600GT in SLI
XFI Xtreme Gamer (both old and new version)
with the old version (no heatsink) big card i couldnt get anything to work couldnt get drivers to install and sometimes couldnt even boot to windows. after plenty of arsing about with drivers bios update and bios settings i got fed up with it and like a muppet i bought another Xtreme gamer (new one with heatsink), and to be fair everything worked like a dream, i have read over these forums multiple times and basically read the main problem with these cards was when paired up with a NF4 motherboard so even tho i was annoyed at having a dud card which no body wanted to claim responcibility for, i was quietly content with the fact i had a working XFI card on a NF4 board. All was great the sound was excellent with my speakers and fatalty headset, games like bf242 FEAR etc sounded better than they ever had before.
Then i came into some money and decided for a big pc overhaul which was as follows
ASUS M3A32-MVP-Deluxe
AMD64 6400+
4 GIG Corsair XMS TwinX 6400
Nvidia 8800GT
I decided as it had worked so well up to now and the fact id had it less than a year, i kept the same XFI card
Got everything setup and installed latest drivers bios and everything, then i hit a problem. ANY GAME that claims to take advantage of the XFI etc has crackling problems. in bf242 when artillery goes off anywhere near me the crackling is INSANE. explosions in FEAR result in INSANE crackling. now this new board i use is a QUAD crossfire board socket AM2+ etc all the latest stuff and yet still this crackling problem persists 2 YEARS+ after the card came out.
now i have gone thru so many posts on so many forums and absolutly EVERYTHING i have tried has done NOTHING to resolve my problem.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME? CREATIVE IM LOOKING IN YOUR DIRECTION...
your company has had alot of money out of me in the last few years so some help would be appreciated.
so many of your customers have gone to other companies for soundcards since the XFI appeared and i will be one of them if i cannot get a result here. what annoys me is WE the CONSUMER pay YOUR wages, without us you will not exist so PLEASE HELP ME HERE. as i will no longer tollerate this. i think its pretty simple fix this long standing problem or A:give us our money back or B:replace this defunct piece of hardware with something that WORKS. ist not much to ask.
before anyone tries to blame my board as the problem i know people with just about every chipset going that has had problems with these cards its all over the forums. i have also tried a SB0220 5. li've and a audigy card in this exact machine with NO PROBLEMS at all. so clearly there is a problem with the XFI?
ANY IDEAS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED but i would like to hear from someone from creative here as user input is getting me (and probably alot of other people) NOWHERE
LEE ?

just wanted to let you know how to solve this or any other problem with this XFI or any other creative card?
do what i did?
TAKE IT OUT YOUR PC AND USE SOMETHING ELSE?
as soon as i did this and wnent to onboard sound maX HD audio all my problems went aways?
that was my last creative sound card thats for sure?
anyways Auzentec have got some nice cards?

Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor says X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Pro not compatible

CWindows 7 Upgrade Advisor says X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Pro not compatible? Just ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and it says my X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Pro is not compatible with Windows 7. Windows 7 is to be released in a couple of months, I would think between Creative and Microsoft, Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor would be accurate by now. It's one thing to say there might be a problem or to get updated drivers, but to say it's just plain not compatible sounds pretty final.
I really expected to see a forum thread on this cause I'm sure I'm not the first one to run the Advisor and see this message. Came here to a Creative Forum for some information/clarification on this and there is nothing! Kind of mindblowing actually considering all the people who must have X-Fi's. From coming here, one would think I'm the only one who owns an X-Fi and is planning on going to Windows 7 (hell, maybe I am).
So now I have Windows 7 (Professional) pre-ordered (going to use 64 bit BTW) and am now tripping if my X-Fi is going to work or if I just just remove it before I install Windows 7 and use my onboard sound, or get a different sound card entirely.
Dazed and confused and really wanting to know what the hell is going on with Creative.

G After the experience of the Windows 7 Advisor saying the X-Fi sound card is not compatible with Windows 7, I don't have much faith in it now. If it could get it so wrong with the X-Fi, I now wonder how many other mistakes it is making. It's still quite hard for me to believe with the communication one would think would be going on between Creative and Microsoft, that the Advisor would not be more accurate than this. As I said before, the Advisor didn't say there might be a problem or that there could be a solution, it matter of factly said it just plain wouldn't work with Windows 7. The user is sitting there reading?the finality of that?information from Microsoft, with the conclusion of just tossing the card (cause Microsoft says it ain't gonna work) and then trying to figure out what is?going to?be their sound solution for Windows 7. I'm planning on going to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit at some point and it's really important to me to know what components/programs in my current system are not going to work. Now I have no more confidence in knowing this anymore than?I did before I ran the Advisor. Looks like it's going to be around a couple of months before Windows 7 releases. Hopefully the Advisor gets more accurate before then. I'm not really too happy with Microsoft or Creative about this. Just seems pretty sloppy to me.Message Edited by mikeopam on 07-26-2009 09:56 PM

No game icon appears on my desktop and I don't know what I can do.
Really ****** off as i've not played these games since switching from a windows PC to a Mac and was really excited!! All I want is to be able to play my new game that arrived in the post today. If anyone can help I would be really really grateful....
The game says that it needs Mac OS X 10.3 or higher to run so I don't understand what the problem is or how I can fix it!!

beckyj3,
the last version of Mac OS X which supported running PowerPC apps on Intel Macs was Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). If you’d like to play this PowerPC game on your Intel MacBook Pro, then you’ll need to install Snow Leopard on it and boot into Snow Leopard. (Note that the last MacBook Pro which natively supported Snow Leopard was the Early 2011 model.)
The game was almost certainly published before Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) was released, so back then, all versions of “Mac OS X 10.3 or higher” would have supported running that PowerPC game.
