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.

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.

I have tried several different power connections. Now I have connected a cable directly from the power supply unit.
Another problem that I have is that different games freezes my system after a while. I have tried World of warcraft and Guild wars and they both freeze after 5 to 60 minutes.
I had Audigy ZS 2 before without any problems at all and did a clean install with the new card.
The card is at IRQ 20.
I have a ATI Radeon X800 to. Is that the problem ?
Any suggestions ?

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.

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.

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).

Macbook Pro sound problem... sometimes....

My girlfriend has a MBP with a Bootcamp installation with windows XP on it for "windows only" programs.
Macbook Pro
15" 2.4Ghz
2GB ram
2 partition hard drive (OSX and XP)
Windows XP SP2
However, occasionally we have been having problems regarding sound. Unfortunately, I do not know when it started as most of the time the sound is always off. It would either seem to have started when I installed Bootcamp 2.1, or after I got leopard a couple of months back and installed the new drivers, upgrading from the beta.
I had tried to reinstall the drivers from 2.1, and low an behold it worked, or so I thought. I believe the problem is intermittent, so it didn't actually solve anything. It would seem that the sound always works in Mac OSX, but only occassionaly in Windows. Was thinking of trying to install older drivers, but wanting to hear from the board first.
2nd problem
When the lid is closed and windows goes into sleep or something, sometimes when the lid is opened and the sleep is deactivated, the screen will not turn back on and remains blank while the system is running.
Thanks

I got help from another forum.
You have to download the latest driver from realtek.

Mac Pro Sound Problems

Hello
I use my Mac Pro for editing and have a microphone connected to the audio input port via a mic amp.
Today it has stopped working, its not the mic or the amp because I've tested it on my Macbook.
I've checked the input settings in prefs and restarted and reset prams.
Any other ideas would be welcome
Thanks

Yes, double checked all the settings are correct, disk repair, reset prams, reset SMC, run the hardware test and nothing.
The Mic definately works on my Macbook Pro but nothing in the Mac Pro.
I get now levels in system audio prefs at all.
I use this feature on a regular basis and its just dead now.
Any other ideas appreciated

K7N420 Pro Sound problems in Win98SE

When i do a clean install of Win98 SE and only install the nForce Drivers, on my K7N420 Pro BIOS v2.8 mainboard. (I tested the nVidia v2.41 drivers and the drivers from MSI v2.29) All media which is played with the Media Player is played too fast. I think this is a driver issue.
I tested with Windows XP, with the XP drivers from nVidia (v2.45) and there was played everything at the correct speed.
Is there a fix for the, I think, audio drivers or is there an other simple solution.

2015 Macbook Pro Sound Problem

I bought a new MBP a few weeks ago, and ever since, the sound will randomly stop working and won't work again until I restart my computer. I've checked my sound settings in system preferences and everything is correct.

Try a NVRAM reset:

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?
