XFI F1tality Titanium Mic problems.

Built a new computer and everything was running fine for a few weeks, sound was good, mic was good. But a few days ago I had to reformat due to some weird virus or somthing. All the same hardware as before. (Intel 3.0 quad core with 790i SLI motherboard (disabled onboard sound in bios), 4 gig ram, XFI Ftality Titanium PCI-E, GTX 285, Windows XP Home SP3 32bit)
Everything runs great, sound quailty is good, no problems with games. However I am using a Logitech Communicate STX webcam for a microphone (plugged into USB) and while recording/voice chat, it is very distorted and there is a constant clicking noise the plays every 0.2 seconds. I can hear my voice but it sounds way distorted and I can't be understood.
I am using the latest drivers for both the XFI and the webcam. I have uninstalled/reinstalled them many times and many different combos. I've clicked through various options in the windows control panel settings, moved the mic to a different USB slot. If I unplug the webcam the install the audio drivers, reboot, then install webcam drivers and plug in webcam, the microphone works, there is no distortion or clicking noise, but if I reboot my computer, the distortion and static comes back. If I mute the webcam, the clicking disappears. Its very strange because before I did the reformat, it worked fine when rebooting.

'. Previously before you reformatted. Were you also using both the latest updated drivers for the soundcard and webcam or are they different drivers now (newer)?
Try going to control panel --> sound devices and select your X-Fi card, go to properties and go to the Sound Blaster tab. Try disabling the enhanced effects and see if this helps the problem. If it does, then likely both your card and webcam are trying to "fight" for the same system resources.

  • SOUND MUTING WITH XFI FATALITY TITANIUM AND WINDOWS 7

    5SOUND MUTING WITH XFI FATALITY TITANIUM AND WINDOWS 7z Ok sorry if this hasbeen covered before but I searched and couldn't find it so here goes:
    I have a two month old XFI FATALTY TITANIUM CARD WITH THE FRONT PANEL BREAKOUT BOX.
    It showed up staright away as a hi fi device and the optical output when selected works ok I dunno about surround sound it simply plays great stereo through my Arcam DAC connected up to my stereo.
    Problems began when I decided to install the Creative Software. What happens i sit plays for maybe o mins then mutes also I primarily use i tunes and it wont play anything until a few seconds after the music starts.
    This is just on optical out if I use standard phono to 3.5mm jack its fine.
    What puzzles me is why this happens when using the creative software ? Reverting back to the pre creative software it plays fine I would just like to take advantage of the various functions suplied with creative software?
    Any ideas please. FWIW I Completely deinstalled the card and installed? abasic CMI 8738 card and that does the same so maybe its windows 7
    Oh spec wise Windows 7 32 bit
    4GB RAM
    Asus MOBO

    Weird... I changed nothing and yeterday it worked...
    I just understand this, but what the hell?

  • Help needed with HTC One regarding mic problem with noise cancellation

    I picked up an HTC One last week, and so far I am loving the phone.  Great build quality, screen, sound - all as advertised.
    However, there is one very annoying problem I am having.  When I am talking to someone, I can gear them great, but they keep telling me I sound muffled or robotic.  I performed some tests, and the problem appears to be something with the dual microphones and the HTC One's noise cancellation features.
    Here are the tests I ran:
    Typical phone call, with holding the phone as I normally do on the sides and to my ear.  Call result, pretty muffled voice.  I'd give the call quality a 5/10.
    Help the phone as I typically do, but covered the mic hole on the back of the phone.  This definatelyimproved call quality.  Was louder and clearer, but not perfect.  I'd rate it at 8/10.
    Help the phone towards the bottom, using my hand to kind of cup the bottom directing the sound to the bottom mic.  This was a further improvement in sound quality.  Rating would be 9/10.
    Help phone as normal, but covered the bottom mic hole.  Very low volume and muffled sound.  Rating a 4/10.
    Talked directly into the bottom of the phone into the bottom mic.  This gave perfect call quality and volume.  Rating a 10/10!
    Talked directly into the mic on the back of the phone. Horrible quality, couldn't hear hardly anything. Rating 0/10.
    Speaker phone on, held the phone up and moved it around as I would normally use a speaker phone.  Call quality was really nice.  Id give it 9/10.
    Speaker phone on, covered back mic hole and used speaker phone as in #7.  Very bad quality, rating 1/10 for call quality.
    Speaker phone on, covered bottom mic and help speaker phone in hand.  Really good quality, even an improvement over test #7.  Would give the call quality a 9.5/10.
    Speaker phone on, placed face down on table.  Volume a bit low, a little muffled.  Call quality 6/10.
    Speaker phone on, place face up on table.  A bit worse than test #10, low volume and a bit muffled.  Call quality is 5/10.
    Based on these tests, I know this problem has nothing to do with the network CDMA connection.  It is obvious that the noise cancellation features are a bit too aggressive, or I have some hardware problem with one or both mics.
    I question wether its really a hardware mic problem, because on non-speaker phone calls, talking directly into the bottom mic gives great quality.  And on Speaker phone, covering the bottom mic makes the speaker phone sound really good.  That's why I think there's something going on with the "Sense Sound" noise cancellation.
    Is anyone else seeing the same issues?  I want to be able to hold the phone normal on a non speaker phone call and get good quality.
    Looking for any tips and advice anyone can give.  Is it worth exchanging for a new one, as I am still in my 14 day window.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

  • Mic problems with all boards thread! What do we do to fix this or do we need a new boa

    I have come the conclusion that this is not just a mic problem but a uni'versal line in problem since several devices can be connected thru my SoundBlaster Li've! 24-bit line in port. I'm assuming its a software problem and it seems to be a common problem. The second possibilty is that part of the board is either defected or assembled incorrectly. Either way everyone seems to have made sure that:
    A. there drivers are up to date.
    B. they have dissabled any other audio device in windows or in BIOS.
    C. there mic won't work no matter what port they attempt.
    D. creative software changes of audio devices and mixer still don't change anything.
    I came on here for answers yet all i find is questions.
    And all seem to be pretty similar. There are many other posts pertaining individual audio cards, yet they all have the same problem. If your having the same problem post here and keep this thread ali've, if you have an answer to your own problems you'd like to share post it here. Hoping for a Creative response to either my post or one of the many other posts on the same subject.Message Edited by syferus on 09-23-2005 0:30 AM

    If you have a PCI-GPIB card, you needn't worry about the USB port or whether or not Windows ME supports 1394. All you need in NI-488.2 version 1.70 from National Instruments. Install this driver and then insert your card. Windows should detect the card and find the proper driver.
    If this did not happen in the proper sequence, look in the device manager and see if the card was installed as an "other device". If this happens, remove the card in the device manager and have windows redetect it. If this is not a solution, you may consider the ask an engineer page at www.ni.com/ask. Provide as many details as possible.

  • Mic problem & warrenty issue .

    Hiii
    I have iPhone 4S which is having mic problem i guess.During voice calls the call receiver at other end unable to hear my voice on handset mode but on speaker mode he can hear my voice.
    Also wanted to know in which country my phones warrenty is valid .
    iPhone4S
    Model: MD241LL/A
    Serial No.: DNPHN0Z3DTD6

    Hi Alankar,
    Make sure your iPhone case is not covering the mic. It is on the bottom to the right or left of the connector. Have you tried a call without a case on the phone?
    Your Model Number indicates that this is a US phone, so the warranty would be valid in the US.
    Cheers,

  • Audigy 2 ZS/ Teamspeak/ Mic Problems/ SOL

    I gather from other posts im not the first and probably not the last to have problems with my SB card and Teamspeak Mic function, after MANY painful hours of reading this forum, downloading drivers, reinstalling software and countless tweaks to my SB mixer and Teamspeak options I finally got my Mic to work right. Hopefully my pain will help someone one else, I was ready to give up on my Mic/SB card ever working right till I stumbled on what appears to be the fix to to Mic problem, I made so many changes I will list them all as Im not sure that it isnt the combination of any or all things that made it work,
    My set up, front Mic and Headphone jack on computer,
    -Go to SB mixer function, above the first volume knob is a red arrow, click on it, it will say digital only output, SELECT this option, turn volume up
    -reading left to right on the middle part of the mixer, turn the function ON the first 3, turn off the the following 3.
    - the 6th funtion should be set to microphone, click on red arrow above mic picture and turn on mic boost function.
    -Teamspeak setting, go to options screen select "wave" sound, click ok and adjust in and out volumes on settings panel.
    This did it for me, I went from no mic, to fuzzy mic, to crystal clear mic after playing with things for 2 days.
    I have new faith in my SB card and hope others are smarter than me and figure it out with out all the research good luck.

    In the Creative Mixer on the right hand side you should see a separate column with a "Rec" heading. There should be a small upside-down triangle. Click on that and you should get a list. Choose "Analog Mix" which includes Microphone, Line-In, etc. Then to the left, un-mute the source you want.

    Happy New Year to all.
    I have installed 2 ZS card. Output works well. I want to record a couple of old vinyl albums. I cant either through Creative Surround mixer or through windows get either a Line-in or microphone input to select from. I have tried everything but this forum. If anybody has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Ipad 2 mic problem

    1. My mic just suddenly has gone out of service. Only some scratching sound can be heard during video recording.
    2. I bought my iPad 2 in NY, March of 2011 - I am currenlty in Saudi Arabia,
         a. Is there any shop that can accommodate me to fix this mic problem?
          b. I have got only a scanned copy of the receipt from the Apple Store in Palisades - am I still covered with a warranty using this scanned copy?

    Yes, hold a finger longways over most of the nozzle (if you have one) to confine the suction to a specific area. Also, do it for a prolonged period, and gently use a common pin to loosen any foreign matter that my be in it!

  • HT201328 People can`t hear me during calls but i can hear them (probably *not* a mic problem)

    I unlocked the iPhone From AT&T, its working well in browsering and i can hear people in calls, but people can`t hear me (even with earphones! it`s not a mic problem!!) help me please..

  • 3GS Speaker Mic problem

    I have a mic problem with 3GS 32GB running latest software v3.1.2. It works fine when making calls in standard mode, but the mic does not increase its sensitivity in speaker mode so that people can barely make out my voice. Speech is virtually inaudible speaking at it from just 30cm away. I tested it and there was no difference in mic volume between speaker and standard mode. The mic mesh is clean, and removing the phone cover made no difference, nor did restoring the iPhone or changing the SIM/carrier. I took it to the local Apple retailer and 3 other 3GS phones tested all had the same problem, but a 3G worked fine and calls were easily heard in speaker mode. Is this a problem with all 3GS phones?

    I have found it myself. When Skype is running at the back plan, the app is routing sounds to ear speaker. Quitting app, solves the problem. This reply is for whom experience the same problem.
