X-Fi Xtreme Music - 7.1 audio for 2 channel aud

I'm using an X-Fi Xtreme Music card with the Creative P7800 7. speakers. How can I set it so 2 channel audio files are projected out of all speakers, instead of just the left, center, and right speakers?On my other computer (Audigy 2 ZS + TT7700 7. speakers) I have it setup so 2 channel audio is projected out of every single speaker. I cannot, however, find that setting for the X-Fi card. All help appreciated - Thanks in advance!

Stereo Xpand is using a special matrix that upmixes sound with some surround properties (rear channels are not that loud, center is additionally processed etc), while Stereo Surround just copies stereo source across all channels. So if you want unmodified sound on all your speakers satelittes, just use CMSS-3D Stereo Surround and set it to 50%.
Adjusting Stereo Envelopment will just change balance between front and rear speakers (loudness). Hope it hel

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?

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.

Xtreme Audio, Xtreme Music the sa

I've been looking at this site for a minute now and it seems like Xtreme Audio and Xtreme Music are the same. Correct me if I'm wrong. If I am wrong, does Xtreme Audio (the one that's on sale) come with the Audio Creation / Mixer Software?

It's OK for some recording, not the best option if its sole purpose is recording. XM, XG and XA only have one line-in that shares the jack with the digital out. If you already upgraded to Vista it's better to wait until the X-Fi WHQL drivers are released (ETA March 9th) to see how they fare. XM does work in Vista but the current beta drivers offer basic functionality (which is almost equal to XA's full functionality) and have some quirks.

X-Fi Xtreme Music + Digital I/O + Optical Connection for z-5

Hi there, im new and very raw so i was wondering if anyone can clear some things up.
Ive had my X-Fi Xtreme Music card for about 3 months and in that time i've been using the 3 analogue 3.5mm connections to my z-5500 controller, and i've had no problem in terms of getting full 5. sound for music and in games. Ive recently bought a digital I/O from creative to have an optical connection to the z-5500 controller.
My questions are:
1) Can i get 5. sound using the optical connection When i had the analogue connection, my z-5500 controller said it was 6. surround, but when i changed the input to optical, the controller said it was stero and not 6. surround. Ive testing the speakers in the creative console, but my rear right and rear left is mostly comming from my front right and front left speakers (something is comming out of the rear speakers but its very low)
2) Ive downloaded the dell drivers and went through the process as noted on another thread and i've successfully got the dts and dolby digital working, but how do i know it works Is there some way i can test and see if it works I mean isnt my z-5500 controller supposed to say dts or dolby digital because at the moment it isnt.
3) Is there any sound difference between an optical connection and the annalogue connection in terms of playing mp3's and games. Im aware that dts and dolby digital isnt available on the analogue connection, but i dont watch many dvd's on my comp so is there an point to have the optical connection
Thanks very much for anyone that helps.

To get a 5. spread on the 5500 with an optical or coaxial connection, you need to use the Effect button on the controller and switch to PL II Music. You can then spread the sound to the back using the Levels button and turning Surround up to your desired level. There are also some changes you can make using the Settings button.
As for the Dolby Digital and DTS, that will only show up on the controller when you are watching a DVD which supports either/or.
Hope this helps

My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver.

My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver. This only occurred on the rented video and on recorded shows on my cable DVR. previews and other content on Apple TV are fine. Any ideas??

Previews and trailers do not contain 5.1 audio.
If you have recently moved your setup, you may have inadvertently changed some of the settings on your receiver. It certainly sounds as though it is unable to play the 5.1 audio from the Apple TV.

TV Shows from Music Store have no audio for me...any fixes? I can't figure it out at all. And now that I check, things I encoded that used to work are also muted out. Hmmm...

HT4145 is it possible to use a sngle air port express both for streaming music to an audio system AND as a wireless base station

is it possible to use a single air port express both for streaming music to an audio system AND as a wireless base station

Yes you can - if it is your only router or it is after another Apple router - if you have a non-Apple router then it would have to be hard wired to create its' own wireless network.

No the driver were actually removed from the server yesterday. They are back today with a new release date (5march), but are actually the same drivers? Go figure?

SB X-Fi Xtreme Music Driver Issue for XP.

If more info is need ask what i need to provide and i will. As well i dont have the disk for the reinstalation dont know where it [email protected]

I had this problem before and it was because my motherboard was extremely picky about which PCI slot the card was in. It had to be in the first pci slot nearist the CPU/top of the mobo. Try moving it around and see if that helps?

Windows vista 64 bits + xfi xtreme music + logitech g51 + SWAPS CHANN

Hello ! I am heber from argentina! bs as! federal discrict! Hey guys! you are soo cool! you help me a lot of times! but now i have to write to you becausa i dont get a solid solution to my problem. I search and see that there are some users with the same problem but i dont see a solid answer. The things that i do to try the fix the problem was clean and unninstall the drivers and soft with tools like driver sweeper etc and install the last driver but the result is the same. The only thing i found like a temporal solution when the problem happend its do the the assignement in the panel thx. I want to ask you if there is a solution, a permanent one...plz! becausa i am going to the thx panel like 30 times per day!!! i am going crazy! For more details i copy and edit a message from a user that have the same problem that i , read it plz : Ever since installing the latest drivers, 2.5. or whatever they are, I have sound and 5. support now using an X-Fi Xtreme music with Vista 64 bit (2GB), The card just randomly swaps channels on me. What I mean is, if I start from a fresh boot, I'll get all 5 speakers working in a 5. movie or video game or mp3. Shortly after though, it will swap all the sound to only the back channels and then only teh front channels, and sometimes only the center channel. Most of times it does in pairs , meaning that it wont be like front left and back right, always both back speakers and then both front speakers. Either way, it totally breaks the surround sound and it's rather annoying to hear the sound travel from front to back etc. Is there some way to fix this or anyone know the cause of this I'm about done with Creative and their crappy support for Vista. I might have to go back to on board 5. support if this keeps up. Well if you need something else! please let me know! and if you give me a hand i will be very happy ^^ . Thank you and a big hugh from argentina! PD: PLZ CREATIVE! YOUR SOUNDCARDS ARE THE BEST ! IN MY OPINION! BUT YOUR DRIVERS AND SUPPORT NEEDS MORE ATTENTION! PLZ!!! DO SOMETHING! FOR YOUR BEST!!!!!!

THIS IS A 3RD PARTY METHOD AND OF COURSE THERE IS NO SUPPORT !!!
BEFORE YOU PROCEED PLEASE UNISTALL EVERYTHING AND USE DRIVERSWEEPER OR DRIVERCLEANER TO CLEAN YOUR REGISTRY TOO !!!
Ok here's a new alternative way that new driver will work 100% both XP and Vista (32/64)

Ok after the installation of suite is finished do not restart your PC and install the following drivers:

Xfi-Xtreme Music Problems after updating dri

I recently updated my xtreme music sound card drivers from this website and since my music quality has not been the same. With my headphones off music seems sound poor and while watching movies the sound fades out to the point i cant even hear it. The only way i can fix this is by moving the graphic equalizer to the left or right and then i can hear it again. I also dont seem to get any sound out of my centre speaker but i do with the other 4 around my room. Ive tried reinstalling the new drivers and even the old ones and nothing works. Ive alo tried doing the clean boot and driver uninstallation but i get stuck at the point where i hide all microsoft services and click disable all. For some reason i cant click disable all when microsoft services is clicked. Ive run out of idea's. Any help would bhe appreciated.
Im running windows xp and have never had any problems with sound untill now.
Thanks in adance for any help.

You need a cable that meets the HD audio spec. AC97 is not correct for that card. I've heard of some damage actually being done to some cards by using AC97 on a HD audio header connection. I've also never heard of a case front panel assembly not having the cable as part of it.

Does the DDL and DTS Connect Pack work with a X-Fi Xtreme Music UAA

? Hello,
hope u don't mind my English. I have learned it a long time ago, don't need it very often and the grammer was always my problem.
I know the patch works with a X-Fi Xtreme Music, but I am not sure about the UAA (what does this mean and do I need optical or coax out). I tried the titanium pcie before but then I have the skipping/lags effect like some others with Powerdvd9 Ultra as well. It seems that there is no workaround for this. I have no problems with my old X-Fi Xtreme Audio
Thanks in advance
scorpie
PS.
Maybe there is a workaround now but I can't find something
Some infos:
Board Asus P5B
2 Nvidea Gards 8800GT and 9500 GT (no SLI)
XP 64 bit SP3
8GIG Ram
LG GGC-H20L

SPDIF out has nothing to do with support. I have no idea what hte Xtreme Music UAA supports. I would imagine if it uses the DSP from the normal X-FI line, it would. If it uses the DSP from the Xtreme Audio, it won't.

Xi-Fi Xtreme Music and Windows Vista 32 bit driv

I have a lot of problems with Vista driver. There is only one driver and it doesn't work correctly. Sometimes I have very bad noise, the sound skips, and it often has disturbance. When I connect the integrated sound card there are no problems. But I didn't give 00 $ for noise and to use intergrated soundMessage Edited by Botev92 on 05-29-20070:4 AM

Well to give Creative their due even if they took their time there are new drivers out for the X-Fi Xtreme Music and Vista and they work just fine. You can even select the different modes (entertainment, Game or Audio Creation) from within the Audio Console menu. Link:http://us.creative.com/support/downl...type=0&x=3&y=9

Poor X-FI Xtreme Music sound quality due to speake

I purchased a X-FI Xtreme music the other day, poped her in, and she sounded beautiful. That is until a couple days ago, when some songs I play having static sound (games run alot better now, because I was running a SB Li've! 24 BIt, it used alot of CPU). The main reason I love this card so much is because of the lightened load on my CPU, and because games sound so much better now. Problem is some of my music sounds like it has static fuzz in it, where other songs sound perfectly normal. Im wondering if it is my sound card, my speakers (I have TomMade 2. speakers, have had em for about 8 months, so they are getting old, cost me about 80 bucks Canadian when I got them) or the song file itself (because some songs sound normal, or perhaps the instruments are just so loud I cant hear the static). I dont know if it might be my speakers because they are old. And as for wonderng if its the sound file itself, the one song I hear it big time on is a quiet song at the start, but with some instrumental, and I hear static big time. Other songs are louder, and I dont know if i can hear the static or not. Coming from my SB LIve! 24 Bit, games sound better on my X-Fi, but I have to say that songs probably sound better on my SB Li've!. I didnt really notice alot of static on my old card, but maybe I just wasnt paying attention. Is there anyway I can be sure of what the problem is?
Another question but off topic, with my old card's software, I could change my output to 96 Hz. With the new software I can change digital output to 96, but Im not running digital speakers, I have analog (im guessing thats the SPDIF input settings under audio console) but if I go there, the SPDIF box is greyed out saying default. Perhaps the sound quality is lessened because the card thinks Im running digital?

96khz output is in thx console on the tab speaker selection and the heading "digital output sampling frequency" if you don't have then somethings gone wrong somewhere.
I can assure you though having 96 khz output will not make any difference to your sound its more likely that you have the other problem or static sound as you put it, that has not been fixed yet, this is what is likely to be degrading your sound not the digital output bit-rate. In fact in some cases setting it higher results in more static.
The static you get sounds like you have the the classic pops and crackles with the creative range of sound cards this has been going on for years, try reading the link I posted in my other post there are litterly thousands in the same boat as yourself.

X-fi Xtreme Music soundcard PROBLEM: Microphone volume too low(unusab

Hello, I've spent a while?sifting through these forums and?can't find any solution to this problem. Many people have been asking this same question and?aren't getting any solutions. When I say the microphone is?too low, I mean it's at the lowest possible volume it could?run at,?so it's unusable and?might as well not be functioning at all. Keep in mind every volume setting on the computer has been set to max.
Is their anyone?that?owns a X-fi xtreme music sound card?using a?microphone that does work?If so, what microphone are you using?I'm only?suggesting that theirs some odd settings with this card that only allow a certain kind of microphone to work with it. I'm using an old mic that works perfectly with my sb li've and that I've had for 3 years now. I'll echo the same basic details I've already checked over. They can be found in other customers' posts who are having this?same problem.) Microphone works - tested on other systems and other cards2) Microphone volume is on max - both in recording and playback (although playback is muted)3) Gain is enabled - Ticked +20dB box4) Drivers are current - tried shipped drivers, current stable, and beta release?Here are more links to this problem, which has not been solved yet:
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...ssage.id=49623
http://forums.creative.com/creativel...id=29980#M4984
I?suspect no one?has?the answer to this problem?yet. But could someone please tell me if they are using this soundcard with a mic that is working. If so please tell me what microphone you are using.

I don't know if this is the latest thread but it seems to be. Obviously this is a big prob for a lot of pee
ps.
I have Just built a new machine and included a X-Fi Extreme audio for the 8 channel sound capabilities for movie viewing etc, but .. I also run Teamspeak servers for several games ( WoW , UT , CS etc) and find myself unable to communicate using said card. problem is mic boost is available in playback mode but not in record mode. If you activate mic boost in playback it does actually increase volume in output mode also (don't ask me why) ...but not by much . Not enough for peeps on the other end to hear you while gaming. So... if you can boost mic on playback , why not on record ? which is where it is suposed to be in the first place. there are a LOT of frustrated gamers out there that have paid good money for the surround experience but are unable to do what previous cards have done well .... and that is allow communication between players . please don't ignore this as this is not an operating system problem.... i have installed this card on Vista and XP (both X64 and 32)? and still no mic boost from the software available. you know the problem .. at least acknowledge it and give an update. thank you?Fly
