Hi there,
Im looking forward for a new XFI Platinum or Elite Pro but in the system requirements only appears windows XP; I have windows 2000 installed and dont wanna change to XP, has anybody an XFI soudcard working with Windows 2000? Is it working ok? Any kind of latency in sounds and recording audio or Midi?

Neo Platinum and windows boot

well i got this board just last week along with an AMD 64bit 3200+ CPU .. everything is running fine except when i boot
the "platinum" screen shows, then detects my raid card (silicon image sil 0680 ultra-133 medley ata raid) and the one drive attached to it, after that it goes to boot into windows, the "windows XP" logo appears faded (like 20% opacity) then the computer hangs for like 30 seconds (the logo is frozen, as well as the bar) then the logo appears normally and the blue bar starts moving and windows boots up fine ...
anyone have any suggestions? :D
btw im a newbie :p
thanks, levi.
running windows XP SP2

I'm there brother - I got the same EXACT problem. But I believe this is related to the BIOS version. From what I've seen, people have fixed this issue by installing the 1.43 BIOS (currently in beta). I'd love to know when they're going to release it officially.
IOW, we gots to wait ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....

Audigy 2 ZS Platinum and Windows 7 problems

Hi there,
Recently upgraded to a new PC and Windows 7, and am gutted that the audio/interface card no longer seems to work. I mean, it works for simple listening duties, but the Line In/Mic, "What You Hear" etc., are all registered as "currently unavailable". I home record a radio show, so I'm in a panic to get the card working properly. I'd have to downgrade to XP.
The current drivers available are listed as working for Windows 7 on the Creative site, not sure they should be up when they don't.
Any sign of a resolution for this, or ideas what I could do?

/ Came up with something of a partial fix for this.
Right click the driver installation file, go to properties, find the compatibility bit and change it to XP, then install.
Most things stayed not working, but the one I really need "Line in 2/Mic 2" now works, thankfully.
Be nice to get all the functionality back though!

Runtime.exec() returns exitValue wrongly on windows XP and Windows 200

I am trying to execute a batch script from java program using runtime.exec(). I then process exit code for any failures. I see that exit code is always 0 in case of windows XP and Windows 2000. But the same code and script when executed on windows 2003 or unix gives appropriate exit code. Is there any issue with Windows XP and Windows 2000?

Xfi Platinum and headset: Constant issues.

Ever since I installed my XFI plat. I've had no luck whatsoever enabling my headset to work. Albeit, it's not the greatest, most expensive headset to walk the earth, but at least with my old sound card, there were no issues. The headset is a Logitech headset I received when I purchased Battlefield 2, the exact make i don't know without phyisically looking at it. It has two plugs, a black and an orange one. I've tried virtually every combination I can think of, but am willing to accept suggestions, and nothing works. It's either a) an issue of me plugging it in incorrectly or b) it's muted somewhere through some option.
Any ideas?
Thanks-

"recording device already in use," audigy2 platinum and windows 2

I recently did a clean install of windows 2000 sp4, and now I get some sort of "recording device already in use" error with 3 different recording programs. I installed the drivers from the CD with the 'just drivers' option. I already tried an uninstall/reinstall and the problem occurs with no other non-windows programs running. I found a few other instances of the problem in the forum, but no solutions. Any ideas?

I dont understand this reply, what has mute microphone to do with this problem ? The problem i have is using more than 1 input at a time.
I changed to the integrated sound card and now everything is fine, i can mix limitless of inputs without the soundcard telling me its busy. Also the static noise on high volumes are also gone now ........
Ive always bought the most expensive sound cards from creative but when i get better sound with the integrated i have no choice anymore. So tired of all the problems with the X-Fi series.

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

XFi Platinum Not Detected

XFi Platinum Not DetectedMOkay, so I just?received?a XFi platinum from a friend. Anyways, the problem with the card is that when I put the card into my computer, at times my computer would freeze when attempting to install the drivers. I also had troubles at first when the card would not post causing my computer to not post. Anyways, its gone now and I can go into my desktop, I've tried installing the latest .5 drivers from creative and the old .3 drivers, when I do install them, it goes into "updating windows drivers" and goes straight to asking me to restart my computer. When I restart my computer however, it still doesn't work and dxdiag is not picking up a sound card as well. And to add even more bad luck, I can't seem to find the drivers on my computer at all. It seems like the drivers lied to me or something as I can't find them anywhere, I even tried installing them on safe mode as well. Help, I really want quality sound instead of this crappy onboard I am stuck with. I've also unistalled my old onboard drivers and disable onboard sound on my bios so I don't see what the problem is.

Help?

Xfi Platinum 4.1 speaker setup, rear speakers laggin

Heya
I've had my Xfi platinum for a couple of years now and have been really pleased. A mate of mine gave me his old pair of B&W 60's the other day so I thought I might as well plug them in and boost my system from a 2. to a 4. surround. I've got the B&W's plugged in as my front speakers through an amp, and I've plugged my old acti've 2. PC speakers in as my rears, however there's a slight lag between the front and rear speakers. Anyone have any ideas why this might be?
Thanks in a advance!!!

Rear sound goes to front speaker with DDL/DTS Connect (Xfi Platinum)

DRear sound goes to front speaker with DDL/DTS Connect (Xfi Platinum)T Hey there,
I just installed the newest modded driver from [url="http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/X-Fi-Auzen-2-20-0002-0-RC4-2-dated-5th-November-2009/td-p/540790">here[/url] and now I have the problem that when using DDL/DTS Connect (yes I have it activated!): the rear left channel gets output on my front left speaker, and the rear right goes to front right. My externaldecoder is correctly identifying the output stream as DD/DTS and the front speaker and subwoofer works fine. Also when using my Xbox 360 the sounds correctly get to the rear speakers, so this is likely not a problem of my decoder.
Anyone had a similar problem to this? Any idea why this happens?
My system:

H I noticed this doesn't just happen with DDL/DTS Connect. The same behaviour happens when I connect my headphones to the plugs on the back of my computer. The rear plugs don't output anything, while the front plugs have "double" output.
I tried all kinds of different drivers, always removing the previous ones and restarting before trying a new one. Right now I'm with the official 2.8.003 X-Fi driver.
Please, somebody help!

K9N Platinum and Corsair CM2X1024-6400 **UPDATE - FIXED**

I'm trying to help a friend with their new K9N Platinum motherboard. We got everything installed successfully, but after getting into Windows, the machine will just freeze up randomly doing anything, software install, whatever, within a minute, or sometimes as long as 5 or more minutes.
Basic specs:
K9N Platinum motherboard
Flashed to BIOS version 1.4
AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+ (65W) socket AM2
BFG Geforce 7900GS
500W PCI-E power supply
Wester Digital 120GB 7200rpm SATA HD 8MB cache
Single 1GB stick of Corsair CM2X1024-6400 RAM (DDR2 800MHz) - Brand New - DIMM slot 1
Windows XP Professional with SP2 and all windows updates installed. (using IE6)
Installed all latest drivers from MSI's website for this board.
We tried 1st with DRAM timings on auto, then tried to set the timing manually according to Corsair's spec sheet for this module, including memory voltage at 1.9V.
We think it might be a bad memory module, because after getting into Windows, we run memtest, and errors are detected within the 1st minute. We have RMA'd the RAM module. I'm wondering though if we just didn't have the timing for the memory set correctly in the BIOS.
Is anyone here runnning this exact memory successfully, or is this board incompatible with this Corsair module? If you are running successfully, did you have to change the SPD timings manually, or are you running using the SPD Auto setting?
If you had to use manual setting, any help with the values to set in DRAM Timing would be greatly appreciated. As much detail as you can provide would be great. Thanks for your help.

Ok, still having major problem with running world of warcraft. This PC freezes/locks up in the game every single time within 5-10 minutes of play no matter what we've tried so far. This is not a shutdown or restart problem, just a freeze/lock-up symptom. I'm getting a bit frustrated at this point. No other problems in windows are encountered. We can work in windows with any other application, like adobe photoshop or any other software, with zero trouble. I'm beginning to think this is video card related somehow with this 7900 GS card.
For added info, the video card being used is this;
BFG Tech BFGR79256GSOCE GeForce 7900GS 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Video Card
Chipset Manufacturer NVIDIA
GPU GeForce 7900GS
Core clock 525MHz(vs. 450MHz standard)
PixelPipelines 20
Memory Clock 1320MHz
Memory Size 256MB
Memory Interface 256-bit
Memory Type GDDR3
3D API
DirectX DirectX 9
OpenGL OpenGL 2.0
Ports - DVI 2
The mouse used is a logitech USB track ball mouse if that has any bearing on anything. No mouse troubles though, just thought I'd mention it.
Here's what we've tried so far;
Updated to BIOS version 1.4. This was done after the Windows XP install though, so not sure if something is hosed up here.
1) We set the RAM timings to 5-5-5-12-2T and 2.1Volts in BIOS manually, as per direct recommendation from Corsair.
1a) Ran memtest all night for about 9 hours straight and no errors at all detected. So I'm guessing this isn't a RAM problem really, but who knows .
2) Installed the Windows XP SP2 Hotfix for Dual Core Processors - hotfix KB896256
3) Installed the AMD Dual Core Optimizer from here -->http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_13118,00.html
4) Updated the Nvidia system drivers with the nForce 550/570/570/590 SLI (C51+MCP55) driver package 9.19 WHQL from MSI's website here--> http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=730&kind=1
5) Currently running Nvidia video driver version --> ForceWare Release 90 Version: 93.71 Release Date: November 2, 2006 WHQL Certified.
6) Ran a complete Direct X diagnostics via dxdiag. All tests passed successfully.
7) Tried to install the AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (x86 and x64 exe) 1.3.2.16 from here -->http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_13118,00.html
But it would NOT install because it says I have to first uninstall the current driver via add/remove programs, but it's not listed there, before installing this one. So, I have no idea where to look or how to do this, I'm afraid of messing up the processor driver. Can someone explain how to install this driver, and would not having this installed possibly be a potential cause of the game lock-ups?
I don't know what else to do. Could the version 9.19 Nvidia SATA or IDE drivers I installed be causing these game lock-up problems? If so, do I just go into device manager and just rollback drivers for all of the devices listed under the "IDE/ATA ATAPI Controllers" in device manager?
Again, this was a fresh windows XP Pro install on a newly formatted hard drive. Obviously something is fubar, but I'm running out of things to try. Maybe going into BIOS and "load optimized defaults" and start over?
Lastly, the tech specs on newegg.com for this video card say "A 350W PCI Express compliant system power supply (with 12V current rating of 22A or more)" is needed. Since the 500W power supply we're using has 2 separate 12V rails rated at 20A each, could this be the problem?? I'm open to suggestions. Thank you.

P965 Platinum and E6600 won't go to 3GHz

Hello,
I have a MSI P965 Platinum and a E6600. Currently I have two sticks of Corsair Value Select 1GB PC-5300 RAM, rated at 667Mhz 5-5-5-15.
The E6600's stock is 2.4GHz, and I want to go to 3GHz. This should be dead simple - not only can the E6600 usually clock much higher, but 3GHz will only require a 333Mhz FSB (9 x 333), which means my RAM doesn't have to be overclocked at all since it is rated for 667MHz DDR2. I should be able to obtain 3GHz with a nice comfortable 1:1 FSB:RAM ratio without stressing the Corsair Value ram beyond specifications.
However, it just won't work. I seem to be having RAM instabilities at 667MHz 5-5-5-15 and 333Mhz FSB. The reason I say RAM is because Memtest86 freezes, and SuperPi has a 'not exact in round' error in 16M and 32M - which apparently means there is a problem with memory stability. Now, I know this sounds like the RAM is faulty, but I don't think it is, because when I run stock 266MHz FSB, the system is fine at 4:5 divider to make the RAM 667Mhz. It's only when I increase the FSB (and not the RAM at all) does the system become unstable. At 266MHz FSB and 667MHz RAM, my system will pass any stress test, but not at 333Mhz FSB and 667Mhz RAM.
I've upped the CPU voltage 3 notches to around 1.350 or so under load. My ram is at 1.9v, although I tried 1.95v too. I didn't touch the chipset voltage (should I?). My temperatures seem ok - I'm only using the stock Intel cooler, but it should be able to handle 3GHz fine. It hovers around 48c idle, 60c load according to Everest Ultimate (before it crashes in SuperPi), so it doesn't appear to be overheating while overclocked. Not great tempts but acceptable.
However, there are two things I've noticed:
- In the BIOS, if I select CAS to be 5 or 6, CPUZ still reports my ram at CAS3 (which my RAM can't do at 667Mhz), or 3-5-5-15. However if I select CAS4, it reports CAS4 properly (still unstable though), or 4-5-5-15. This is only a problem when I overclock the FSB - at stock FSB, the CAS timings are reported correctly. It could be an issue with CPUZ, but I doubt it. If there is a bug with the P965 Platinum not setting the CAS right when overclocking, this might explain why I'm having RAM stability issues even though I'm not overclocking the RAM - i.e. because the board is not using the right CAS setting. Is this a known bug? Also, I tried Auto SPD but it tried to use 4-4-4-12 at 667MHz (again, which this RAM won't do).
- When I run 333Mhz FSB and 667MHz RAM, the POST shows some sort of error message about the board not supporting CPU's with a 267Mhz FSB or something (which is weird, because 266Mhz is the stock speed *shrug*), and that it's resetting it. Sorry I can't recall the exact error off hand, but I can try the overclock again and provide it later on if needed. Anyway, despite the error message, the overclock still applies - it will boot into Vista 64-bit at 3Ghz, it just won't pass any stress test.
Is it possible a BIOS update could help me? I run V1.4, and even though I know there is a V1.8 now, no newer version mentions anything about fixing overclocking issues. I don't like to update my BIOS unless necessary (and I don't even have a floppy drive anyway, would need to figure out how to do it via USB).
Thanks for any help. I'm certain my RAM isn't faulty and I'm certain my CPU should be able to reach 3Ghz surely. I'm also pretty sure heat isn't an issue. I think maybe the board is trying to force CAS3 when FSB overclocking or something? That's my guess anyway.

Thanks for the reply!
Sorry, I should have mentioned I was definitely achieving 1:1 - I recall the confusion over why my RAM was trying to be 800+MHz at 667 and then I realized 533 actually meant 1:1, 667 4:5 etc, so I am definitely running at 533/1:1. I doubt this RAM would even post at 800+ MHz.
So updating the BIOS may help? Ok thanks, I guess I will update then. I don't see it in the "fix" list though on the site. Is there a way I can get a *full* fix/enhancement list for 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 so I know exactly what I'm fixing going from 1.4 to 1.8?
Also, does MSI support LiveUpdate BIOS in Windows Vista 64 yet? And if not, is there an official way to update via a USB stick? (no FDD here).
