Xfi Crashes Ga

Question

Hi, Ive been reading the posts regarding the random lockup/crashes on games such as battlefield 2, I have the same problem and was looking for a solution. Ive been able to work around this problem by lowering the sound settings in bf2 to medium. But this is by no means a solution. I didnt pay $50 to put my settings on MEDIUM. Its very unproffesional on creatives part to not even acknowledge these posts regarding this issue.
Lockups and freezes that cause people to have to do a hard reboot is very damaging to thier systems and to not have one single admin say SOMETHING is very scary. It makes one think that they know, but they dont know what to do about it. So, Ill check back on this post every so often and if i dont get a response, I will just start a new post, and so on until I do. I see it as a way of protest on my part and if anyone else is having this problem, dont reply start a new post!
I had the card in another comp for a couple of months before putting it into a gaming pc I built. It worked fine on games in the other computer. I, like other people have taken the card out to see if that was the issue. Once I did not one single problem. But I refuse to let $50 go to waste so I put the card back in and tweaked my settings. They seem to be ignoring this problem, so if they release another driver/patch whos to say it will fix it when they cannot even respond? When will that patch come out? Will I be waiting for nothing just to see the patch has done nothing to resolve this issue?

i have the same problem with the X-FI Titanium pci-e card.
since i have this soundcard i get random game crashes/freezes/bluescreens.
ut3 worked without ANY problem with onboard sound, since i have this piece of .... it crashes or totally freezes the computer after some minutes.
