Xfi Elite pro problems

Hi,
I'm having problems when using the external interface with nuendo. When i try and record the signal isn't getting into nuendo.its coming out of the speakers but when i try and record nothing is getting through and no signal on the transport bar either.Its probably really easy to sort but im new to this really.
Cheers
Andy

Maybe some of your settings in Nuendo is not correct ... have you read the "Nuendo Getting Started Quide : Tutorial #1"?

In X-Fi mixer panel, you need to just enable the source channel you're using (as you seem done since you did hear the signal through speakers already).

XFI ELITE PRO SOUND PROBLEM

Hello i was wondering if someone could help me. I have the Xfi Elite Pro sound card but when im playing a game or watching a film on my pc the computer will just freeze and i get these crazy high pitched screaching noises.Sometimes it scares the hell out of me when it happens it only happens when im watching films or gaming i have to reboot the pc to get it to stop does anyone have any ideas whats going on its like a really loud screatching noise. I have the latest drivers and tried old ones but still happens alot.Does anyone know what this could be thanks rich.

C The 'solution' you provided only touches a very small fraction of the problems with Creative sound cards. Only very unexperienced users may not control which sound card is choosen by their operating system. Many of us work with PCs for decades, being used to modify the registry and so on. The drivers of Creative are of an unexcusable low quality.

Solution to common Windows 7 Xfi Elite Pro installation problem

Solution to common Windows 7 Xfi Elite Pro installation problems Hello,? I have just solved what I understand to be a common problem when upgrading a machine with an Xfi Elite Pro from XP to 64 bit Windows 7. Apparently the console control software for the "older" PCI Soundblaster cards for Win7 isn't done yet. If you've installed Win 7, updated the product identification module and run the new driver that you can find easily on Creative's support site and you still have no sound, try going to the Control Panel in windows. Switch the display to the "small icons" option and select "sounds".
Choose the "playback" tab. You should find a list of possible sound output devices that exist on your machine. You need to highlight the Xfi on that list and then click the "Set as default" button at the bottom of the screen. That should do it for you.
It did it for me.

XFI Elite Pro to Inspire 5500 speakers, no rear so

I have an xFI Elite Pro and some Inspire 5500 Digital Surround Sound speakers. If I initiate a test from the remote that controls the Speaker's "brain" I get all surround points working just fine, so I know they are connected properly from there. From the "brain" I have the /8th" cable that came with the speakers for a digital connection to a soundcard connected to the flexjack on the back of the soundcard part of the xFI and it is set to Digital I/O. Whenever I initiate a test from the Creative Software, when it says "rear right" and "rear left", it comes out the front speakers. I have the CMSS turned off . I have the decoding turned off on the sound card cause the speakers take care of the decoding. What am I doing wrong? Please help, thanks.

Well,
I went back to gigabyte.com.tw and this time, there were new BIOS available ... I still don't understand why they weren't there yesterday ..
Anyway, I updated to F6 (latest version) and ... sound is still very low, crappy, crackkkkking and so on ..
I'm gonna throw this through the window :'(

No Sound From Rear Speakers unless CMSS-3D is on XFI Elite Pro

Hello Guys,
I have always had issues with my rear sound and nothing has changed. I am begining to think my sound card is broken. I bought this refurbed or open boxed directly from creative so maybe this is the reason? I want all the speakers to sound the same and even if I enable the CMSS3D they do not sound like the front ones. It seems distorted and not as clear and the volume is lower. Any ideas?

Hello,
I am running into the same problem. I had a audigy and the sound test would not output sound to the rear or center speakers. I then tried an x-fi card - same problem.
I also tried a different set of speakers... I am pulling my hair out here. This used to work great, can't figure it out. When I run through the speaker test with the x-fi, I hear everything coming out of the front two speakers. It says "rear right" out of the front right speaker. It also says "front right" out of that same speaker.

Own an X-FI Elite Pro - Getting what sounds like a CD skipping and some distortion

Interesting I have had this card for some time now...and I never experienced any kind of distortion...popping...click noises...or anything that the majority of people here have been complaining about. I though I was one of the lucky few...that has all changed.
I started playing some BF2 the other day...and of course have the in game audio settings set to ULTRA to and X-FI to make use of my XFI 64 megs of RAM...anyways, this is the same setting I have had in BF2 since I've owned the game and have had my XFI - Elite Pro.
Anways, there I am playing my game when all of a sudden from time to time I hear what sounds like an audio CD skipping! I thought at first it was just me or the game...but no...it seems to happen more often than it use to! Like its getting wores! It cleary sounds like an Audio CD skipping!
another thing I started to notice is when playing MP3s and such.... I can hear distortion in the background! Its a bit hard to explain but what it sounds like the distortion isn't in the actual audio mix...almost like background distortion!
to test I would play the same audio track on my home theatre system and to my dismay... I heard no distortion...so that would label my XFI Elite Pro as the problem.
a couple of things to note:
st.. I have 2 fans hooked up on the same rail on my PSU that connects to the XFI Elite Pro. The fans have fan controlers as well... I haven't tried this...but its possible that since the fans are hooked up to the same wire as my XFI is...its possible I may be getting some electrical interference with them.
2nd... I just updated to the latest BETA drivers released by Creative. This is where I first started to notice the problem.
I have yet to dry difference drivers or remove the fans...however, I do believe I am finally experiencing what many other have been since there purchase.
I paid a **bleep** pretty penny for my Elite Pro and deffinitly EXPECT it run PERFECT!
deffinitly unhappy thus far.
I do have an Nforce based chipset. As well as an ASUS A8N32-SLI with the most recent BIOS update.
Like I said before, I am just now getting this sounds...its possible it could be the BETA drivers, I will keep you all posted.
For the mean time, anyone have any insight or opinions for me?
thanks in advnace!

no ideas huh?
is this the same stuff everyone else is experiencing?

Wrong channel distribution...Win7 64 and elite pro

2Wrong channel distribution...Win7 64 and elite proXHi folks!
I've updated my OS from a vista 32 to a 7 64bits and since then I've some problems with my Xfi Elite pro soundcard...
While listening some MP3s, the channel got mixed up and, generally I have a weird and loud noise before that occurs...
I've first thought it was a problem with foobar and its DSP but no... I still got the problem with other applications...
And when I test the channel with the audio console after getting the bug and after closing the audio software every channels seems to be correctly distributed...
I've a Z5500 kit hooked on the soundcard and I've also tried to play mp3 over the SPDIF output of the card and it seems to work fine... The problem seems to happen only when I play songs over the analog signal...
What do you think?

Hi there !
Sorry to bring back this old post from the dead, but I continue to have problems with my x-fi elite pro...As a matter of fact, I always had trouble with it !
Well to list all the problems I've have encountered :
The I/O console which seems to be dead then Suddely wake up in the world of the living.<
Sudden hissing sound coming from all of the Loudspeaker...<
Sudden loss of channels after changing the mode. The problem only settle after several reboots<
Wrong channels distribution with the analog config.<
Freeze my PC @ start up or BOSD ( on a vista x86).<
windows suddenly doesn't recognize it. And like the console, the card suddenly wakes up after several reboots.<
I've bought this card in 2006 I believe, and it has been the black sheep in my rig ever since...but it's also irremplacable because of its I/O console ! ( and to be honnest, for its sound quality when I've no problem with the card ).
As far as I can remember, I didn't had any problem as long I was on a good'ol xp. But I've moved on a 7 now...
Well, just to be sure, there's no way to use the console on the lastest fatalty? If not, do you know of a more recent card with both Spdif coax in/out and RCAs on it's
I thought of buying a Home cinema, but I would keep a good sound quality without laying to much bucks for it. And, moreover everything is in a small room...and my Z5500 is the perfect match for the setup of this room.

Cannot Adjust Recording Volume (XFI Elite P

Hello, I'm having trouble with my XFI Elite Pro. Whenever I go to record something and I select the device I want to use the volume knob automatically goes down to the third line. If i turn to turn it up or down it automatically shots back down there instantly. The playback knobs all work fine its only the recording ones and its every device I have that does it. Has anyone ever had this problem? I tried updating to the newest driver/firmware but it didn't change anything. Thanks in advance!

X-Fi Elite Pro Floppy Power Connect

I need to power the Xfi Elite Pro outside of a computer to run the i/o box.
Normally the floppy dri've is connected to the 4 pin floppy dri've connection off the computer's power supply. I need something with the same connector that is not associated with a computer.
Basically I have an Xfi Elite Pro that I want to used in a Dell D/Dock Expansion. It has power via PCI connection, but does NOT have an additional floppy power connection for the external box.
I know that the floppy power is +5v/gnd/gnd/+2v.
I also looked over the X-fi details and could not find the power requirements of the connector.
What voltage does the X-fi card need? 5v? 2v? Max draw?
thanks

I could not find the information on the web or from Creative (I asked).
So I decided to experiment and cut some wires. Here are my results. The only thing hooked up from the wire coming off the power supply was the X-Fi Elite Pro. Of course the computer was powered by the remaining wires. The power supply is an Antec Phantom 500w.
Multimeter is a approximately $25-$30 radio shack variety
With the 5V rail cut and 2V rail intact
. normal operation of external i/o box
2. multimeter in line 5V rail reveals no current flow
With 2V rail cut and 5V rail intact
. external i/o box does not power up
2. still no current via 5V rail
3. dead in water
With 5V rail cut and multimeter in line with 2V rail
. normal operation
2. starting current of 270mA
3. peaks at 386-389mA (max volume really had nothing very little to do with it - hence the difference of 3mA).
I checked the voltage on the 2V rail and was quite surprised. It never changed from 2.00V, not even to .99 or 2.0V. I realize there are the limitations to my multimeter, but none the less I am impressed.
There you go, if it helps anyone else.

Then I change de mode "Game" to" Audio Creation" and it keep working. But the stop 2 minuts after. Then i change de mode "Audio Creation" to "Entretainment". It works for 2 minutes and stop. If i try the 3. time, works for 2 seconds and stop. It also happens in the 4. attempt... the 5?... the 6?...
In this 2 minutes, it works fine! 00%! But then stops, with?no apparent reason!

The problem about x-fi elite pro's I/O conso

When i bought the x-fi elite pro,i used it on the AMD athlon64 3500+ ?ASUS ax800xt and GigaByte K8NSNXP-939 motherboard in windowsxp sp2 32bit.
After i installed it just as the quick start said,everything is fine and i like it very much.
I do think that creative had done a great job and it is the best reason to change the sb audigy2 ZS platinum pro.
But the problem comes when i change the hardware to amd AMD Athlon64 X2 4400+?Leadtek 7800GTX(single,not SLI)and ASUS A8N32-SLI motherboard.
After i changed the three things, i shut up to the older winxp pro sp2 32bit,it found a lot of newhardware,most of them are related to the nforce4 sli chipset,when it found x-fi,the system bring up blue screen and restart automaticly.
After the restart,i can startup in the system and change the settings of the x-fi(the hardware id has changed) ,and thus everything seems fine(the S750 works well),but the I/O console has no response, the blue led of the I/O console is dark.
Since then,i am in a nightmare.
I have tried a lot of ways in order to solve the problem, but it didn't work.first, i check the AD_Link carefully and everything is tight and fine,then i change the power splliter cable to another,i also plug the x-fi card into another slot and reinstall the operating system.
And now, i don't know how to solve the problem, Someone please help me.
plus,i use the newest motherboard bios 009,nforce4-sli chipset driver and 7800GTX drivers.
Eagerly for your advice.Message Edited by bravo on 0-5-2006 03:5 PM

The problem is actually about the power connector to the card (which powers the external box).
But of course is not since I forgotten to attach it
It is because the power connector is very tight, so when my friend helping me pulled out the connector, the connector?s plastic jack is also pulled out a half.
I don't notice it when I attach the power connector to it in my new computer, So the power connector can't really provide the power to the external box.
I hope someone can get some help from this thing.

Strange Line In problem with my X-Fi Elite Pro. Stereo sound comes and goes

I have an X-Fi Elite Pro with latest drivers installed. Everything works fine, except for the Line In port in Entertainment mode. I have an AverMedia TV/FM card and its audio output (stereo) is plugged in my X-Fi's Line In/Mic In (PCI). The problem is that I get sound only from the right channel but not from the left one, so the sound comes out in mono. From time to time, I get to hear in stereo (both channels) but it seems a random event. This input works just fine in Game and Creation modes btw.
Stereo sound from this particular input comes and goes in random order and sometimes I get about 50% on the left and 00% on the right channel. Sometimes, left channel volume fades in and out slowly. I already did some troubleshooting such as set Line in/Mic In/Digital In to "Line In/Mic In", speaker diagnostics, checked it in Game & Creation modes, turned to default values and so on but I still get this problem.
Seems pretty wired. A ghost in the machine! Creative products never seize to amaze us!

Soo...your're calling me stupid? Well, perhaps your right, but then again, I might have a point!
Read my post again.
If you still think it's too low with SVM enabled and everything is turned up...then I'm affraid you're out of luck and might consider buying another speaker set, if it's a major issue to you.
