Xfi Fatality Mic probl

I am currently having some issued with my MIC. The problem with the MIC is, that it wont transmit at all in windows sound recorder or in?a voice program like ventrillo. I have ensured that all the settings are not on mute, and everything to me looks correct. I am using a standard Logitech MIC that plugs into the back of the soundcard. The XFI settings are correct,and the MIC volume is all the way up in my console. Also the THX setup is set to allow a MIC/Line in. I am starting to think this maybe a windows problem.Message Edited by KradZZ on 0-30-20060:8 AM

I am getting this error when I use windows sound record when I try to troubleshoot:?"Not enough memory available to complete this operation. Quit one or more applications to increase available memory, and then try again."?The only thing is running is windows sound recorder, and I have 3 gigs of ram. Could the creative software be giving me trouble?Message Edited by KradZZ on 0-30-200605:53 PM

  • Problem with drivers/ sound stopping / vista32bit/ xfi fatal

    i have an xfi fatality, installed the latest drivers and since then, sound will stop at random times usually happens when i am pausing something on media player (videos) and it might come back when i reopen the video
    sometimes i will watch a video on firefox, and i might not get any sounds at all (sounds completely stop, not only per application)
    sound will come back, on its own, at random times. some times i need to restart
    i uninstalled the audio console, uninstalled the driver from system, and installed the previous version and i am still getting this problem (i wasnt getting it before)
    any solution
    thanks a lot.

    Is there anybody with any idea what the problem might be?

  • Xfi fatality. sound problems with other devi

    hello all. just recently bought a xfi fatality card,and im trying to connect it to my xbox 360 to get sound, and thats when the problems start.i have a optical cable from my xbox 360 connector to the optical in on my fatality front panel and some headphones connected to the headphone jack, but i get no sound at all. i have also tried the rca inputs on the front panel but no sound there either.tried to hook up a dvd player to just to test it, but like always no sound. its not my xbox thats faulty?as i've tested it on my stereo. could someone please help me im at a loss and dont know what to do.i've tried to change stuff in console but to no use. thanks for your help and?replys paperman?ps have searched the forum but no luck?

    I had this problem to begin with, its just because as default the SPDIF in is muted. If you open the launcher in entertainment mode go to the option where you can the volume to each kind of audio and at the top of the volume slider on some of the devices there is an arrow pointing down. Click on this and choose SPDIF and then unmute it. I'm having a further problem now though as i've got the sound playing from my PS2 but i cant get 5. from it on DVD videos only stereo, any ideas?

  • 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?

  • Breakout box + XFI Fatality

    B Hi there, i have an XFI Fatality Pro sound card. The card is fine on its own. I have acquired a breakoutbox which i think is from the elite pro, has the model SB050 on the bottom...
    Now using the AD LINK cable i connected it to my sound card, as soon as i do this i get loud static noise untill i either mute sound or remove the AD LINK cable. I've tried individually muting all inputs and outputs on my volume panel but only muting all sound stops the noise...
    Am i simply not able to use this breakout box with my Fatality sound card? Or are there drivers i should install to enable the breakout box functionality?
    Forgot to mention im on Vista 64, core2duoMessage Edited by Creomortis on 05-5-2009 04:40 PMMessage Edited by Creomortis on 05-5-2009 04:4 [email protected]

    to the best of my understanding *(only from past experience, I dont have one of these)* the two are not compatible. The Breakout box you are talking about is for an elite pro, while the Fatality connects only to an i/o dri've or li've dri've as it used to be called. you may have mistakenly connected the breakout box to the MIDI connector/joystick port on the back of the sound card.

  • XFI Fatality Gamer + GigaWorks S750 + Decoder DDTS-

    Dear Sir,
    Im using XFI Fatality Gamer + GigaWorks S750 + Decoder DDTS-00 ( just bought it ) and the question is I feel no difference ( Dolby Digital and DTS Effect ) when I'm not using the Decoder.
    What I've done is I already :
    Connect cable from my soundcard to switch box and then another cable I connect it from my Gigaworks to switch Box. And then from the switch box it self I connect it into the decoder. All the cable im using is the standard from Creative. I haven't used any coax or optical cable.
    Looking forward and really appreciated for the assistance.
    Many Thanks.

    To connect your Soundblaster NX to your DDTS-100 decoder, and let the decoder handle the DD/DTS decoding, you have to connect a digital/optical/coax cable, from the digital output of the NX, to one of the digital inputs on the decoder.. Also make sure you have set the settings on the souncard, to "digital output only", so that the decoder can decode the encoded digital streams, sendt by the soundcard..
    if you want to connect your soundcard to the decoder via analog cables, and let the soundcard do the decoding it self, you will need to use a 7.1 analog-audio cable, that comes with both the decoder and the speaker system. Connect the audio cable from the analog output on the soundcard, to the input "switch-box", and set the switch-box to "PC-audio". Also make sure you have connected your speakers to the "switch-box".

  • XFI xtremegamer + windows xp = mic probl

    So I have tried everything to get my mic to work. From software upgrades to even enabling my onboard sound to see if my mic was bad but nope it works on the onboard mic port.
    So any suggestions why my mic wont work on the sound card? Is it because I do have a front jacks on my tower and I have those ran to the sound card? I havent had the opportunity to un plug the front jacks but could that be the issue? And If so why?

    okay Katman, thanks for that post.
    Here are the specs for the two microphones:
    ==================================
    This one does not work (or it does, but I need to yell for it to be picked up very faintly).

    ? Distortion: <0.5%
    MICROPHONE SPECIFICATIONS:

    ? Subwoofer: dia. 32mm x2, 8, 20 Hz-20 kHz
    Here is the spec for the el-cheapo no name brand (this one does work).
    ?http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?...o=24698&doy=m5
    No-Name Spec:

    Sensitivity: -67dB+/-4dB?
    Output impedance: Low impedance
    Directional: Uni-directional
    S/N ratio: More than 40dB
    Does?the fact that the impedance on the medusa mic?( 2200 ohms ) have any bearing at all. I?have been reading about impedance matching and the concept of "bridging" but?I can't tell if this has any?relevance to my problem at all. I am currently searching the internet for more "impendance matching" topics and if there are any available impedance matching adaptors in 35mm(!). I am clearly lost as to wether or not this is even the right path to be searching along so if you?have any pearls of wisdom,?don't be shy...
    I read somewhere that at 2200 ohms, the medusa mic can be loosely categorised as a "mid-range" mic. While the el-cheapo is low range.

  • Crackling, Left Rear Channel noise, IRQs, 4 Gigs of Memory, fixes and problems with XFi Fatal

    Hello fellow troubleshooters. Well I've been working on my XFI issues since there are so many of them trying to make the one piece in my newly built system work as intended. I will put my hardware info below this post for comparison purposes if it helps you at all or for feedback/ideas. Well first off I had the crackling noise popping so on even when my machine was idle. If you have not done this yet do it
    !!! Start, Control Panel, Sounds Speech and Audio Device, Change Speaker Settings, Advanced (in device volume), ok now there is a bunch of sliders go to "options" check everything, ok now that you see all the sliders mute Everything besides: Play Control, Wave, CD Player for testing purpose. You will probably hear a difference as you do it. Especially Mic 2. Ok well that issue resolved my popping crackling noises when idle. Ok so I still have a shared IRQ issue since I have an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe board and the slots go as such PCI-E, PCI, PCI, PCI-E, PCI. Well since the GeForce 7800 GTX cards I have take up not just the PCI-E slot, but also the PCI slot is covered from the Huge Fan. Then the Same thing for the Second graphics card. So I have only one slot that works for my PCI Fatalty sound card. Well this forces me to share PCI IRQ between one of the Video Cards and the Sound Card. Its not a "conflict" it is simply sharing the IRQ, after the above issue fixed my popping issue this no longer was a concern. Now my big issue is that I sent my Sub Woofer in for RMA, I have the Gigaworks S750 7. THX speakers, they are great but when I really crank up the volume on them I would get the sound like a speaker was blown in the left rear channel, so I swapped another speaker in its place and I have the same problem. So the RMA folks said to send in the Sub Woofer which cost me over $30 to ship the thing only to have them tell me there is no problem. Well I had recently done RMAs on my sound card, both Video Cards, and my mother board too in hopes of fixing the next problem. So everything is new though I got a refurb on the mobo. So I'm just waiting on my Sub woofer now so I'm using my headphones and guess what I'm finding there is this noise in the left speaker, an issue I sent the headphones back for a long time ago when I was using them waiting to buy my speakers. I have the Creative Pro Gamer headphones. So now I read a post about someone else with the same issue left channel, and I have to wonder I am not alone and that usually means in Creative Labs land there probably is others with this issue that have spouses that wont let them stretch their audiophile legs with extreme volume, if this is you try it out kick up the bass, and see if you have this problem too, if so please post it here. I have no clue on this one and I am open to any ideas. Ok and the last issue!! This is the real problem I'm facing now. I play EQ2 I love my MMO titles with the occassional single player title for those short stints at the computer between work, parenting, and stuff my wife demands be started before she finishes speaking of it (those of you married know what I'm talking about). I have 2 operating systems, XP Home, and XP Pro 64. Home I use for Office, graphic design, and general applications. XP Pro 64 I use purely for gaming. All my games are installed through this OS which is on my 2 74 Gig Raptors in Raid 0, I have another Partition for XP Home, and a 3rd for all the game installs. So I recently found that after selecting Extreme Graphics option in EQ2 then moving the rest of the sliders to Max that my G5 keyboard which has a performance monitor in it showing the amount of Ram usage showed me hitting about 90% and would spilke at the same time as I found I had frame rate slowdown. So I decided to get 2 more gigs of Corsair Twin XMS 3500Pro 024x2 memory bumping me up to 4 gigs. Well I had to go into the bios I found and change a memory setting to discrete and enable the memory hole in order for XP Pro 64 and the motherboard to see the memory. At this time I was working on other things with my computer, and suddenly the popping noise came back so I'm pissed now.... But oddly its not happening in XP home, only in XP 64. So I'm thinking I may have to go to XP home for my gaming OS, then just before I install home I remember that XP home wont register 4 gigs of memory.... So I go turn off the memory hole and discrete settings and this sets the memory to 2 gigs.... Crackling sound in ALL EAX GAMES goes away.... So now clearly my issue with my sound card and EAX crackling noise is Memory related somehow. Now I have isolated it to 4 gigs of memory, but it makes me think of those folks with this issue perhaps something is amiss with their memory and how it works with timing, or onboard memory on the sound card which is a first time memory is put on a sound card?.... Any input is appreciated as to how to repair this issue, thanks for reading, below is my system set up.

    Evolve,
    I have the a8n-sli Premium which as you stated is basically the same board with a couple extra items. I have the latest beta bios ver -06. Since the early fall release the option which we will be talking about was available in the premium board which it I remember was Bios rev 9. I would download the latest bios rev.
    07.04 (latest beta?or go with 06)?and flash in. Here are the steps to get the proper memory options to work and I have also included my system specs to compare.
    ) Hit Del to get into Bios
    2) Go to the second tab on the top of the screen "Advanced"
    3) Select the first option in the menu "CPU Configuration"
    4) Select the first option in the "CPU Configuration" menu called "DRAM Configuration"
    5) Select Manual configuration from the first Menu item.
    6) The last two options in the same menu for DRAM are s/w remapping over 4G and h/w remapping over 4G. Select the "s/w remapping option over 4G" and enable it. Disable the "h/w remapping over 4G."?
    7) Hit f0 and save the config.
    You should now at post have 4GBws total but only 3GBs of usable memory and your X-fi should crush it in XP64 and XP32.
    My Specs
    A8n-sli premium (Bios -06)
    amd X2 4400 (~2.5 GHZ)
    4GB LL patriot memory (~228 HZ)
    X-Fi Extreme Music
    LSI 320-2e PCI express SCSI RAID controller (256MB buffer)
    2x Seagate Cheata 5K.3?dri'ves
    All water cooled
    Good Luck
    PapaH
    By the way this is defiantly a XP64 driver problem because even with h/w remapping enabled in XP32 the card sounds fine. It only happens in XP64.

    Thanks for that, Cornholio_OH! I've already looked into PC Performance's adapter and indeed noticed that those using it said PCP are wiring it wrong. So I got in touch with PCP about it and they deny the wrong wiring, stating that there's no mistake in how the cable is made but only how cases front ports are wired and grounded (?!). Also, they only provide the adapter for AC97 and not HD audio and some people had trouble with the AC97 connection, though I suppose that's better than nothing
    Though you are right that it's an alternati've that may be worth the money, personally I strongly bulk at having to get one of those, especially when adding shipping costs to Europe, it no longer will be worth the money! When nowadays there are cards that do perform as well if not surpassing CL's and who provide the adequate connection and at no extra cost, I am strongly inclined to getting rid of the Fatality -practically brand new one by the way- and go for another make. Call it stubbornness or principle, if us consumers just roll over and give in having to either buy more accessories or modded cables, we're sending the wrong signal to CL and everyone else that it's okay to take us for stupid and milk us.

  • Pre-Amp Xfi Fatali

    Hello i bought the Soundblaster X-Fi Fatality Professional Series Xtreme Gamer with 64 mb X-Ram soundcard and was wondering if there is pre-amp on the soundcard for the line in/mic jack. I want to know this so i can decide if its suitable for recording from a Mic for studio/production/mix work. Thanks in advance

    I haven't tried to on my system. I went from the Audigy 2 plat. to the X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion. I was recording from a dynamic mic and found the sound slightly low even with the input volume turned up. If you use a condensed mic with phantom power you may have better results.

  • No microphone audible in XP64 with Xfi Fatal

    I am running XP 64 pro and cannot get the microphone to work either in windows or in utils like Teamspeak. All the properties are there, the volume is turned up etc. But it's like there is no microphone connected.
    any ideas?

    thanks
    edit....did get the mic working, but only by enabling the onboard sound and using the motherboard sound plugs(ports) No audible sound when plugged into the SB X-fi fatality.

    )? No, don't install any of the apps, they are XP only (the ones that came on CD). If you want applications search the forums for "UPAX" although these are hacked chinese drivers \ apps so use at your own risk.
    Don't bother asking when you will get drivers \ applications, nobody knows when\if you will. 2a) ? Open Control panel, open "Sound", on playback devices select speakers, right click and select properties. Select "levels" and mute whichever input your mic is plugged into. 2b) http://forums.creative.com/creativel...message.id=254. In short you are screwed.
    Additionally, if you just bought the card you have a couple of options:?)? Return it now, do some research and find a card with working\decent vista support. They are out there. (I would do this if I could but I am stuck with this thing for the time being.)?2)? Wait for CL to get their act together but you may have to wait a long time. Historically they release drivers every quarter and they just released a very disappointing set of drivers two weeks ago. They will not communicate their plans or disseminate any information to the sheeple that bought their product so noone has any clue when anything will be fixed or when or if?apps will be available.
