XFI Extreme choppy and s

Ive done a quick search and didnt really find what I was looking for, so I decided to post.
Whats happening is that when ever I play music via Windows Media Player or streaming from an internet radio station and then I try to do anything else, the sound starts to chop up or becomes staticy. Also the song will slow down like its a record and someone is holding thier finger on the record to make it slow. I mostly notice it when I try to play music in the background while playing a game like City of Villians or World of Warcraft, etc. Ive had this XFI? Extreme card for about a year now and only just began having issues with it. Ive downloaded the latest drivers and still I have the issue. Can someone please help?

BUMP!

You have a SB0467 which is a Dell oem X-Fi card. I do not believe it's "origional" or retail. I got mine on ebay brand new for $45. I knew what I was buying (my system is a Dell). The clue to not being retail is that there usually is no retail box, manual, software, etc. I got the card only. So in a nutshell: no support

Safari extremely choppy and slow after long use

Hello people. First of all my specs:
Earlly 2011 15" Macbook pro; 2.0 Ghz i7 Processor; 8GB RAM; 500GB HDD with 140GB free;
When I switch on my mac and use safari it works fine. Always enough free RAM. After about 5 hours of use safari starts to chop when i scroll. This happens mostly when i open a link in a new tab and it is still loading. In extreme cases i right click on a link and the pop up menu takes about 3 to 5 seconds to appear. I thought RAM was a problem but about 2GB was free so that wasnt it. This is always the situation, ram always available. I have used programs like iBosstUp to cleanup files in my mac. I have emptied recylcle bin. I have reset Safari. My mac is using the latest OS lion 10.7.3. I usually open upto 20 tabs at the same time thats why I got 8 GB. I am now thinking of going up to 16GB(no debate here: it is 100% possible i reserched). But I dont want to find this problem there again after the upgrade. Another issue, when I have loads of tabs opened, the tabs load fine but when i click on any one of them, the page is completely blank and reappears about a second or two after. Sometimes the tabs load when I click on them, yet they are supposed to load in the background. If free ram was very low then I was going to assume virtual memory was in use therefore the pages taking time to appear..
Please help. Thank you in advance

Hey LpoolEd,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, Safari has slow performance and there is an issue with automatic login. I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be helpful in troubleshooting your issue.
Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found
OS X Yosemite: Login Options pane of Users & Groups preferences
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,

Illustrator CC 2014 extremely choppy. Please help.

I just bought an iMac 5k Retina Base model with Yosemite installed. All other CC applications work like a breeze except illustrator. Illustrator is extremely choppy and almost unworkable. Can someone help me out?

Hey,
I just bought a MBP Retina 15" high-end (i7, 16GB RAM, SSD 512, GeForce GT 750M 2GB) perfectly clean install with Photoshop and Illustrator CC updated. This is terribly choppy (scrolling / navigation / zoom / unzoom), even when creating a new document. Everywhere else, the computer is a real bomb.
With Photoshop, everything is perfectly smooth. I also have a 27 "iMac non retina and no particular concern in Illustrator.
The problem appears when we enlarge the size of the artboard. By using a small artboard, it's almost fluid. More we enlarge it, the more it chop. The solid gray artboard takes all the resources.
I downloaded a demo of SwitchResX that can display resolutions other than those of the system and I put my 15" Retina in 3840x2400px non-HiDPI and Illustrator retrieve its fluidity. So HiDPI is not optimized on Illustrator. Great job Adobe.

Recently, since upgrading to ver. 8.0.1, videos are extremely choppy, scrolling is choppy and loading pages is slug slow. I have a very fast quad core i7 processor and plenty of RAM & HD space.

Sometimes a video will start smooth but within moments it becomes very choppy and jumps from image to image. The browser itself does the same thing where it bogs down to a crawl and scrolling is also very choppy. Very frustrating. I have been using Firefox for years now since it first hit the scene, but until I upgraded to ver. 8 this did not happen.

Please see the help article on what to do when <ins>[[Firefox is slow]]</ins>
and the help article on <ins>[[High memory usage]]</ins>
See also the help article on <ins>[[Managing the Flash plugin]]</ins> which describes how to adjust hardware acceleration.

Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium

I have installed Windows 7 upgrade on an HP desktop that was running XP Pro. Install went fine exept I have an error "No Audio Device Installed"? yet I have installed the Xfi extreme audio card in its slot. The card works fine with XP. I have gone with the windows update installed the current driver with still no luck. Searched the forums again no luck, have done my due diligence via the internet and with beta drivers and still only have the red X everytime I boot. What can I do to get this card working agian?

Re: Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium0 As I stated in my first post I did my due diligence and after installing beta drivers for the SB0790 then installing the recommended driver dated July 09 it still does not recognize the device (7 Home Premium). I have gone through every forum google points me to we are not alone, taking advice I've installed then deleted these drivers about 0 to 20 times I've tried compatibility mode "Vista" "Vista SP", "Vista SP2", "XP", and so forth with no luck also running the driver as admin. Every time I update driver in 7 it tells me I have the current driver yet I have a red X and no sound.
I can't believe that Creative does not have working drivers for the final release of 7 knowing that they had 6 to 8 months to prepare. Really poor on their part.

Creative XFi Extreme Gamer no Microphone In

Hello,
I've just reinstalled Windows XP SP2 (with all the patches) on my gaming machine. After installing the latest Creative drivers for my Soundblaster XFi Extreme Gamer audio card (from the website: SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_5_0006.exe) the sounds work fine but my microphone doesn't work. It's plugged into the Flexijack on the card but there's no setting to switch the Flexijack from optical mode to audio mode. The Soundblaster XFi documentation says to click on the "Advanced" button under the Microphone settings in the Mixer and there should be a check-box to switch the Flexijack over but mine shows no such check box.
Can someone point me to the right settings?
Thanks,
Dennis

Good luck, lots of x-fi things don't work right in 64. Most people I know just gave up and use the onboard audio mic instead, less hassle.

Problems with Installing Software for XFi Extreme Gamer C

Hi, I've just bought an XFi Extreme Gamer card. I've got a dual boot system (two difrent hard discs). The board installed ok under XP and works OK. The problem is that under Win2K Pro the installation comes up with an Entry Point Error for CTXFISPI.EXE WTSRegisterSessionNotification could not be located in WTSAPI32.dll. These files exist on the CD and Hard dri've. I do get sound and music etc but the problem is that when I try to launch the volume control or console etc it says "The current selected audio device is not supported by the application. Do you want select another audio device now?". If you say yes you get the choice of "Follow Windows Default". Now checking the device manager etc you find that Creative SB XFi is there and has no problems. There doesn't seem to be any updated drivers for Win2K on the site, I'm at a bit of a loss what to do next, I only upgraded to try and play some newer games, hasn't helped so far. Also can't launch the diagnostics programme either.
Any suggestions would be great, I don't if it's Windows fault or Creative at the moment.

are you blind man? that what nearly every post on this forum is about the complete lack of vista support. Yes we all have the driver but you can forget the console and all of the advanced connectivity you paid for. Creative are just a joke in my opinion why can't they get this sorted i also use optical in for my xbox 360 i'm totally pissed off with this situation. Come on creative get your act together and get some proper support sorted!!!!

Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music??

I have Xfi Extreme Music (SB0640). In installed the lastes drivers for windows 7 (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.creative.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/#]Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series driver 2.8.003 [/url]), When I run a speaker test all 6 speakers work, however when I use media player, media center etc. Only the front left speaker works.
Do I need to install creative Alchemy?
Console Launchers does not load on boot
Any asistance will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

NRe: Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music? You will need to have the Creative Console Launcher which will let you have CMSS-3d or Creative Multichannel Surround Sound. You can find the newest version for your card here......
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=094"]http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=094[/url]
Honestly though, dont bother with just that. Get Daniel K.'s X-FI support pack which is updated with the newest drivers and applications for your card. Plus, he tweaked those with fixes for installation/integration? under operating systems other than XP.
That can be found here.......

Adobe Photoshop extremely choppy with latest Audigy2 ZS driv

I recently installed the latest SB Audigy 2 ZS drivers for Windows XP. If i work with Adobe Photoshop CS and listen at the same time to MP3 via Winamp 2.95, drawing with the mouse in Photoshop is extremely choppy. If i move the mouse fast in circles, nothing is drawn unless i move slowly. Curves appear jaggy instead of smooth like it was before. If i stop the music everything's fine. But as soon as music is played tracking the mouse in Photoshop is choppy. This never happened before.
It took me some time to figure out why this happens.
I used this Winamp installation for years without problems. Also there was never a problem with Photoshop. Mouse and its driver also didn't change for years. Then i remembered that i installed the latest Soundblaster drivers just recently.
I deinstalled the driver and now use the same as before, dated 2004-0-8. Works nice without choppiness.
For me the newer drivers are useless. They don't seem to be well tested.

Yes that is normal. I have no problem with CS6, No lag or hesitation.
A tip for you if your creating the mask using a copy of a color channel. Set the brush blending mode to "Overlay" This will protect the mask Black and White areas. You will only be able yo paint in gray areas of the mask. When areas turn 0,0,0 Black or 255,255,255 White they become protected too. Use a Wacom tablet soft brush low opacity and many strokes

Imovie HD 6--extremely choppy audio

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro.
When I capture video using imovie hd 6, the audio is EXTREMELY choppy. I take the same camera, same tape, and go to my old powerbook g4 and the audio is fine (using imovie HD 6 on that machine, too).
Even after capture, when I play the clip, the audio is choppy. I've burned a test to DVD, and the audio is choppy on the DVD. I don't think it's a memory issue as the MacBook Pro has more memory and a bigger harddrive. Perhaps I have some obscure setting set somewhere, but I can't figure it out. As far as I can tell, the two machines are set the same. Can anyone help me?
On the macbook pro, other sounds are fine (ie--music in itunes) so it's not a speaker issue. Any ideas?

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
Sounds like (whoops!) your MacBook's busy doing other things when it's handling the audio, hence the 'choppiness'.
First, if it's brand new, click on the 'Spotlight' magnifying glass at top-right, and if it says "wait, I'm busy indexing" then do wait until it's stopped its initial indexing before you do anything else ..otherwise storage and retrieval on your hard disc will be slow and 'choppy' as it divides its attention between what you want doing, and the indexing which it wants to do for itself.
Second, go to System Preferences, and 'Security', and check that 'Filevault security is turned off', otherwise it'll be trying to encrypt and decrypt the audio ..which will make it stutter (..and will make the video stutter, too).
Thirdly, if you've got GarageBand installed, go there, and play a few notes; that should reset the general system audio to the correct playback rate. Or go to Applications>Utilities>Audio MIDI Setup, and change the Audio Input and Audio Output Format settings to anything, and then back to 44100.0Hz and 2ch-16bit, and then Save and Quit.
(If your MacBook's set up for an inappropriate audio rate (miniDV movies are recorded at 12 or - preferably - 16-bit, 48kHz) then the audio will be choppy while the Mac tries to convert it to an incorrect setting.)
Karl's identified other choppiness causes as excessive separate audio clips in the Timeline, but this wouldn't seem to apply in your case.
Others may have more ideas, but try those above and see if they help..

Choppy and Laggy especially Ichat on C2D Imac with intel graphics

Last night I upgraded from 10.4.10 to leopard on my Imac C2D. Now my Imac has the integrated Intel graphics and not a fully fledged Ati but this has never been an issue before as Tiger was always nippy. I have 1.256mb ram, due to having a 1GB stick and a 256MB.
I performed an upgrade install and it all went fine. Initially though the system was very laggy and choppy, especially when using the dock, coverflow and even screensavers. Having used coverflow extensively in Itunes I can say it was never an issue before. I then decided to check out Ichat. Ichat was extremely choppy in particular with its video capture which lagged several seconds behind and even dropped frames. When I tried the effects these were about the same, no worse really and the background substitution effects worked very poorly with most of me missing.
I rebooted after installing the second wave of updates for Leopard and there was a significant increase in performance but its still choppy in places. I’m not sure if it’s due to my integrated graphics and wondered had anyone else had a similar issue, such as Macbook or Mac Mini users?
I’ve ordered a second 1GB stick from Crucial and hope this will bottom out any potential memory bottleneck but can’t help worrying it’s the Intel graphics. Would Apple seriously use Intel graphics only to release a OS which struggles with it?

In part thats a relief. I did not move over to Tiger until is was 10.4.6 to ensure stability and was always pleased with its performance. In truth Leopard works fine but graphically it does seem to have speed issues which i had put down to the GMA Intel graphics.
I really find Ichat and coverflow the worst afflicated and notice the minimal slow down I'm guessing more due to the excellent performance I had previously in Tiger.
In Ichat the video effects are terrible and the interactive rear screen fail to detect me properly. In coverflow in the finder the delay is less noticable but you can see the icons sharpen up after a second or two.
Hopefully Apple will sort this out shortly.

HP touchpad movement extremely choppy

Hello. I am using an HP G60 laptop, and for the past couple weeks, movement with the touchpad has been extremely choppy. Most of the time diagonal movement works, but aside from that, the aforementioned problem still exists. I am not sure if this is a problem with Synaptics or what, but I would like to try and resolve this problem. Thank you in advance.

I called HP cuz I'm am having the same problem. " Left TouchPad button " After a very long wait I was told that it would cost me 269.00 to replace this little plastic button. That is more then the laptop is worth, or it's more then I paid for it. We have four HP laptops in this house. But you can bet I'll never buy another one. From now on HP can eat my shorts man!
