XFI Sound Card Prob

When I try and run BF2 Sound with Hardware rendering set to Ultra High after a out 20min's of playing All I get is a lot of sataic. I'm using a Creative Labs XFI Fatality Pro Series Sound Card. Latest drivers ( only drivers ). It's the only game that does it & it only does it when I set BF2's sound to ultra High. I have the latest patch for the game ( .4 )
So what could be the problem ?
System Spec:
DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D Bios Ver: OCZTony 704-2bta
AMD Opteron 65 .8Ghz
Zalman CNPS9500 Led CPU Cooler
2GB OCZ Platinum Edition EBs 2 x GB
OCZ5002048EBPE-K PC 4000 @ 3-3-2-0 with 2.7v }
ATI Sapphire X800XT ( Stock )
2 Seagate 200gb Dri'ves in Raid 0
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Pro Series
600watt Enermax Noisetaker { EG70AX-VE } {W}

Sorry no one could help you. Assumming you RMA'd it, hopefully when you get a new one back it doesn't do the same thing. I've had my x-fi xtrememusic for about a year, and never really had any problems with BF2 (until I got my RMA'd ati radeon x700pro back ? ),?or BF242 for that matter. Great games, even better w/ X-fi so hope you got it fixed.

Can Creative confirm if DDL will be officially enabled on all XFi Sound cards at a

There's an old post in another thread which indicates that Dolby Digital Li've! would be supported on all Creative XFi sound cards - and support would be coming in August for $4.72.
Can someone from Creative comment on this? I don't think the X-Fi series Driver 2.8.0004 has this support yet.

Hi,
See my comment on your other post.

Xfi sound card & sharkoon haed

hi
i bought a xfi sound card today nice card ,i also bought a sharkoon headset usb , i have a problem when i turn my headset on it crashes the xfi creative mediasource got the updated dri'ves for the soundcard ,i'm stuck any help.

lofty,
A USB headset would not be affected by the soundcard or it's drivers. I would recommend contacting the maker of the USB headset for more support and information about updated drivers.

Included xfi sound card...fp is ac97?

in the manual it says the fp connector is ac97 compliant, however, the fp connector on my case is ac97, and it's unusable, it's undetected by the OS and there seems to be no way to enable it in the software...Is the fp connector actually ac97? or is this a typo? Seems unlikely that it would use ac97, but perhaps my problem is something else.

The card is AC'97 compliant, but the connector for the front panel is HD Audio.
The first image is from your manual and the second is from my X38 manual. Regardless of being different sound chips, the pinouts are standard for HD Audio.

Connection Case audio ports to Xfi sound ca

I know most of you probably have done this or know how to do it but here goes anyways. I want to be able to connect 2 ports on the front of my case one is for speakers and one is for Microphone. Where would I connect the wires to the Xfi sound card? Can someone give me a linke to what all the open pins are for? I know this is probably a simple solution to doing this. I have never used front ports before and never had to hook them up. I have done usb ports but never sound. Another question. In doing so would I be able to use my speakers that I hook up to the back of the card and the headphone and Mic that I would hook up to the front ports at the same time? I know this would be pointless useing both headphones and speakers. I just want to make sure that if I am using my head phones that there will be no sound fromt he speakers. I like to game at night and dont want to wake my son or wife up not knowing the speakers are working along with the headphones.
Thanks
Josh

I'd like to know as well. I have the card, but am unable to use both speakers and mic/headset at the same time (need quick switches for avoiding wife-aggro). If there was a way to connect the card to the front audio of the case, it would save me returning it. Thanks@!

Since Vista doesn't work correctly on XFI Pro Elite.. What other sound card solutions do wo

I am not looking for a flame war - just to honestly get some advice from others on what other solid sound cards do you know that work properly when hooking up optical inputs and such and have a wide selection of inputs like the creative xfi elite pro's breakout box. M

Ok an update. I am very persistant - was up to 4am trying to fix this and trying to go through every possible problem. That right there shows there is some serious problems with creative's software and drivers. It is suppose to be easy, not require someone who has a master's degree in computer science 2 hours to sort through the problems. It would help if there was just a clear install guide telling exactly what needs to be done - or better yet - gasp - an installer than actually did all the complicated things for you. (Creative - see Installshield and an expert consultant - they can help you. It will be worth outsourcing your efforts to get a clean view on things. I suspect the people putting these driver packages at creatives have been there a while and have lost perspecti've). It is possible to get the soundcard working to a degree on Vista. Things to realize (the following works if an only if you only have one creative product installed. Otherwise it could screw up your system):?
Make am imagine of your Windows before and after this. Before because its easy to screw things up. After because once you get it working you will never want to do it again.<
Order or find on torrent the Official Vista Install CD [do not install it yet]. Download it. Its large - or order it and pay $9 for shipping and handling. (I think they are paying a courier to hand deli'ver it and also bring me coffee since it is so expensi've). You can not get this from creative's online site. (Imagine that).<
You must uninstall manually everything that creative installs at all before going to next step.<
You must uninstall everything that is nati've audio to your system (e.g. built on the motherboard).<
There must not be other audio drivers or audio software installed.<
After you uninstall all this - make sure you also uninstall creative's drivers, any other drivers of an audio nature, and make sure you check the box that says "delete drivers" when you uninstall.<
REBOOT<
Remove any other audio products from the system if possible. If built on a motherboard - see next step.<
Go into the BIOS. Disable anything that is audio related. Save your settings.<
REBOOT (again).<
Go delete every registry setting that is in your registry hi've using regedit that is creative xfi related. (This can take some time because there are many sub devices, and not everything says "creative" on it.)? Good luck.<
Delete everything in your program files under creative (remember to make sure you do this as an administrator with adminstrator permissions - thanks UAC).<
Delete everything in users/[every user name here that runs on your system]/appdata/local/creative<
Delete everything in users/[every user name here that runs on your system]/roaming/creative<
[another words - delete everything you can find creative related to the xfi] - again be careful if you have more than one creative product - you could screw your system.<
Install the Official Vista CD. Install ALL the software with ALL options. Click yes to a thousands OK yes I agree to install. Make sure you install this with administrati've privliedges.<
REBOOT (again).<
Register (why not - you did everything else)<
Update all the software that it says to update. This will take?a long time because all of the software that is on the CD is out of date. <
Alchemy will not update because you will have just updated a new set of drivers. So...<
REBOOT (again).<
Update all of software again that it says to update. (Creatives update manager works decently).<
Alchemy will finish installing.<
REBOOT (again).<
Do not use control/panel/sound to adjust things - its useless<
Make sure you use the Creative XFI Volume Panel (It is not the same as the Windows Volume). Great job naming this guys... Set what you want... the sound should be working.<
NOTE:? SPDIF seems to be not available in Games (Sorry folks who run PS3 Optical through this device - your SOL - thanks Creative). To do this you must use it in Entertainment mode - but wait... SPDIF is disable by default. You must go to the mixer and enable it.<
Now with this being said - many things still won't be functional. E.g. there is no dolby through SPDIF, etc. Many of the features that were sold with this card - simply are not available in the Vista drivers. Also note that to use the latest Alchemy that is on the web site (not through the updates) you have to hunt down and find beta drivers and install those - which automatically expire later on in the year. Good jobs guys with this too... not very smart creative.<
SO there you have it. I am sure I may have missed a step - so if someone trys this and has a question - I will try to help. This is ridiculous though that someone has to go through this. A Windows service pack for the OS is easier than this. Creative get a clue - - fire some of your developers and get some that can do a decent job programming the drivers after 2 years of alpha's and betas and release - and create a decent install product. I shudder to think of the poor souls who bought more than one creative product. Good luck sorting through the directory, shared files, registry hi'ves, etc. to get your software working. If I hadn't paid a large some of money for this piece of hardware I would have never spent so much time on it. I figure even at $30 an hour - its about $400 in effort just to figure the above out, search through all the registry, hunt through the multiple directories of Vista, download the software, find out which software you have to download, etc. I am posting it here so that the average person who spent a couple hundred bucks on this card doesn't spend hundreds of dollars of time trying to get it to work on Vista.
My advice for newbies to computers - go to best buy - spend $50 for install and tell them to get it all working perfectly in your PC. Best Buy is overpriced on everything now adays anyway... they wanted $40 for a hdmi to dvi converter when you can order one online for $5. They seem to be the 7- of Electronics.
Please creative - clean up your act.

Enabling same Line out on my sound card (XFI Music)

3Enabling same Line out on my sound card (XFI Music) Hello all,
This must be possible! My main problem here is that I cannot find anyway to clone my main output, let me explain.
I have my digital piano plugged into Line in
I have my headphones plugged into the first Line out (these work fine)
I have my TV (plugged in via 3.5mm jack) plugged into line out 2 (the one next to the green one)
My TV is setup as a second monitor so I can watch films etc. All I want to do is get what I hear in my headphones on the television at the same time. I don't want to have to plug my TV into the green lineout everytime I want to use it.
While we're on the subject, is there anyway I can remap the inputs, at the moment if I wanted to plug in my digital piano and a mic at the same time I can't. The irony is I upgraded from my absolute rubbish Realtek AC97 onboard audio device which could do all of the above. Surely this is possible?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Trinitrotoluene

Creative Labs SoundBlaster PCI128 sound-card software prob

Blast it all! Where can I find the necessary software to make my Creative Labs PCI28 sound card work? (I hope that "Blast it all!" doesn't offend... )
The background
I bought a used PC from a PC-idiot (a PC-idiot being a PC user who chucks out floppy-disk and CD-ROM software integral to the PC ? I will hazard a guess that there are a lot of these types out there!), and what's worse, the idiot had "ripped out" much of the installed software rather than uninstalling it properly, with the result that the PC ran very unstably, requiring a lengthy start-up procedure in order to compensate for the ripped-out files (start-up often crashed and had to be restarted). In the end I had to run fdisk and rebuild the software system. I took the trouble to save the installed Creative program under Program Files, not that this could be inserted into C:\Program Files of course, but in order to know what I should see when I eventually found the proper software and got it installed. But finding the proper software has proven to be a hard nut to crack, which is why I bring the problem up here...
My PC has two Creative Labs cards, a SoundBlaster PCI28 card (CT4700) and a PC-DVD Encore Dxr-3 card (CT7240). I found software for both (the latter only with the help of Creative Labs' technical staff) on Creative Labs' download site, but the driver application that eventually got my PCI28 card to work (some wouldn't even do that much) has snags to it, with the result that my sound card doesn't work properly. The problem is that the CL software download was only an update, and was also devoid of waveset files. The MIDI wavesets cannot load, so this parameter is missing from the installed sound mixer (this problem is well-known and is in fact listed in CL's Knowledgebase under the title "Error ? Can not load MIDI Wavesets, MIDI Playback has been disabled").
Unfortunately the "fix" suggested there subsumes that the user has access to the original sofware medium (floppy or CD-ROM) so that the complete program can be reinstalled. Which software I don't have, thanks to the PC-idiot from whom I bought this used PC (actually I bought it from his son). The driver-file download that works with the CT4700 (this is the only one that I found that could even come close to working), a certain e28up9x.exe, is only an update, as I said above, and although it is touted as a "stand-alone" application that works with the CT4700, as an update, it is no substitute for the original program itself (it won't stand on its own). What I need ? and cannot find ? is the original program itself.
To the matter at hand, then
In the hope that somebody out there (CL staff are more than welcome to participate!) might recognize the animal in question and can therefore point me to a relevant download, I list here the Creative folder that was installed under C:\Program Files on my harddisk before I formattted it (I will try to list the contents of this folder so that it reflects the actual hierarchy ? for example, all folders listed under a plus sign are subfolders to the main folder (or subfolder) in question):
CREATIVE
+ CTsnd
Bitmap (contains a .bmp and a .txt file)
DOSdri've (contains a lot of exe files, most beginning with "ap": apconfig, apinit, -legacy,
-load, -mixer, -test)
Help (full of ? what else? - help files)
Media (full of MS Media Player files ending in ".mid")
+ Program (the meat and potatoes full of exe files, a handful of which begin with "ct"
and end with "32" (before the ".exe" suffix): ctcd32.exe, ctmidi32.exe,
ctwav32.exe, ctwave32.exe, remote32.exe, sndole32.exe, as well as some
dll files, all ending in "32.dll"
Plugins (three dll files)
+ Product Registration (contains only the subfolder English)
English (empty)
Share DLL (contains only one file: ctres32.dll)
Yours,
Blastit

Too much bass? I always end up turning mine up.
But anyway, to do this you'll want to do a little equalisation. Make sure you've got the full application suite for Vista (ie: not just the audio console on Creative's site):
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=0493
And then go to the equaliser in the main Creative control console. You'll eventually find something like this:
[img"]http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/2720/equalizer2gk.png">
What this does is allow you to adjust the volume of specific frequencies in the music: the slider on the left adjusts the deepest frequency, and the slider on the right adjusts the highest.
The best way to do general equalisation is to do it gradually. Since you want to take out the bass a little, what you'll want to do is drag the left-most slider down to something like -5dB. Then, drag the one to the right of that down to about -4dB, then the next one to -3dB, etc. Once you hit 0dB you should be at roughly the middle of the equalizer (mid-tone frequencies).
If this sounds confusing, just drag some of the sliders up and down a bunch while music is playing and you'll immediately see what's happening.
Although there is also a bass and treble thing in Windows and such, all these do is adjust about fi've sliders at once. They can be pretty useful, but they're basically just watered-down versions of a proper equaliser. I believe the Creative software's bass/treble options also are unavailable in game mode.
Note that you can also bring out the higher frequencies by doing the same thing over on the other side; this will make your sound a lot crisper, and might even negate the need to lower the bass since you'll be able to hear that higher detail without turning the volume up so much.
Although there're endless possibilities with equalisation (EQ), the best rule of thumb for general use is to make sure the centre is at 0dB, and then adjust gradually outwards from there.

Want To Purchase Creative Sound card(XFi, Audigy Series) plz sugg

Hi,I want to purchase a new sound card. but i am confused with the wide range of creative products. my purpose of purchasing new sound card is music & games.please can u suggest which card i should purchase. i have creative 6. sound system. these are the list of sound card please suggest me which one to buy :-.X-Fi Elite Pro2.X-Fi Fatalty3.X-Fi Platinum4.X-Fi XtremeMusic5.Audigy 46.Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS.
I want a sound card which has digital output, so that i can upgrade my speaker later.
ThanksManish

Audigy 2 ZS provides best cost/performance ratio. It is suitable for all modern games and delviers great gaming audio experience. X-Fi is waste of money. These card are good, yes but too expensi've and are not so powerful as Creative claims. Oh, and they come with awful software with no updates. Nevermind crappy MediaSource...
X-RAM is useless. There is not a single one evidence of claimed by Creative Labs performance gain when X-RAM is being used. Correct me with a link for any review if you like. Oh, and good luck with looking for one.Message Edited by crazyandlazy on -24-200606:29 PM

I'm not at all familiar with pulseaudio configuration. Does anyone know of a good way for me to resolve this issue? Have I even identified the correct issue?
UPDATE:
I was able to work around my problem for the moment by symlinking the configuration file to the location that pulseaudio was actually looking for it
# mkdir -p /usr/share/alsa/ucm/HDA\ Intel
# ln -s /usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf /usr/share/alsa/ucm/HDA\ Intel/HDA\ Intel.conf
Although this does get my sound back, it is a hacky work-around and obviously not ideal. Anyone who knows a bit about pulse configuration, I welcome your input here

Thank you so much for posting your solution!
I was having the same problem. The funny part was it started happening (and not always) after KDE says that the Intel HDA device is "gone" and asking me to remove it from my configuration. Even by saying no it wouldn't work. Killing pulseaudio with
pulseaudio -k
would have everything fallback to Alsa but starting pulseaudio again wouldn't work.
Rebooting right away doesn't take care of the issue either but after a while the problem would go away...
Any inputs would be appreaciated!

[SOLVED] Mic does not work on Intel ICH8 (rev 3) sound card

Hi, folks.
I cannot get my sound card to record anything, using a built-in microphone. Audio output works just fine, though. I hope someone can help me, I have been banging my head against the wall for some time over this issue...
My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A200-1J0 (PSAE6E-04R036G3). alsamixer settings are fine, I tried supplementing additional options to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf, but no luck, tried some of the combinations (model=<> position_fix=<>).
When recording sound with gnome-sound-recorder, with Capture set as input, nothing is heard. Skype can't record anything, either. I can't even get the crackling or hissing sound like some users do.
Should I try to get the latest ALSA?
Debug details start from now on:

Hi there!
I had the very same problem with the same soundcard and found this thread.
The problem got solved for me by adding the same line as you have to /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.
However, I also had to create /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf and add:
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba power_save=0
Notice the difference on the "model=toshiba" part.
However, my laptop is not a Toshiba, but a Compal IFL90.
I remember that in Ubuntu I needed(a long time ago) to add a line to /etc/alsa.conf with model=toshiba. I figured it might be worth a try, and well, it did.
I hope this can help someone else.
As for the OP: "You have my thanks!"

Audigy 4 pro sound card HELL please advise!!!

hi all,
right i'll TRY to keep it simple!.....
BEFORE my (recently brand new) hard dri've died and caused me all sorts of probs (and ?300) my soundcard was fine it was :
windows 7
audigy 4
cubase 4
daniel k's drivers (i think OR it was the one that came with the card)
with this i HAD the option of acti've X driver OR creative asio (used this as was much much better)
SINCE it died i've tried everything for days and days of hell to get this driver on, heres the symptoms:
using the CD that came with the audigy it takes 45 mins to load and then tells me there is NO sound card fitted (tried this 3 or 4 times)..
i physically took t?he card out (twice) and it made no difference and still didnt recognise any card fitted.
i've had to system restore a few times to get it 'see' ANY driver.....i've also downloaded some drivers but same symptoms as above.
using the acti've x the latency is a prob though i have adjusted it to make it work BUT am thinking this is one of the reasons my cubase freezes / crashes / and now makes crackling noise especially when using a reverb vst.
the whole system was great B4 this and i've lost 3 or 4 days and am now at the throwing it out of the window phase.
BEFORE it handled superior drummer as a VST and midi / audio files + reverbs all at the same time NO problem.
the current set up is almost identical and in fact a tickle better than B4 so WHY wont it see a sound card ?when trying a different dirver?
HELP! Si in Brighton.

ta...yes it does.
works (almost) fine with the acti've X driver, apart from telling me line/mic is NOT available....spent all day (again) trying to get the 3.8 daniel K pack on there.....came back with 'somethings wrong' meessage each time.
it just baffles me that my hard dri've
cd rom AND now (maybe) the card all ferk up at exactly the same time!
i recorded afterwards and it was fine for hours.....
cheers si

ALSA is not detecting my M-Audio Delta 1010 sound card (x86-64)

Hi
I've been searching Arch forums and googling for my problem but I can't find a suitable answer.
I installed my M-Audio Delta 1010 sound card on this PC but ALSA doesn't get it to work.

Seems card 0 is reserved for the m-audio card but is not being detected by ALSA
envy24control also exits with:
$ envy24control

controlC0 and pcmC0 is not present!
So, what might be causing the probe error -5?
I really need to get this card working! :S
I have Arch up to date!
Hardware specs:
CPU: AMD FX6100
Board: Gigabyte (can't recall the model) with NVidia chipset
Thank you,

I have an m-audio delta 1010lt as well, it's a great card but it sits in my closet now because I "upgraded" to a motherboard that doesn't have legacy PCI slots. However, I'm pretty sure I remember the card working for me and being "plug and play" under arch with kernel 3.3 or newer. So some things I would consider:
Try checking IRQs, make sure nothing is overlapping.
Try using the LTS kernel, to see if it is kernel related, since ice1712 module should ship with almost any kernel => 2.6.26.
How many watts is the power supply? Sometimes insufficient wattage can result in drivers failing to load.
What other sound cards do you have installed? Have you tried blacklisting all of the other cards in your system using alsa-base.conf? This is a bit extreme, but might be a useful troubleshooting measure, as some people have had issues in the past with alsa indexing mutiple cards to the same slot number
