XFi Xtreme Audio Bluescr

My brother recently purchased one of these for his PC, fitted it and all was working fine for the past two months. Sometime last week he turned the PC on and there was no sound. At that point, his power supply failed, so a couple of days later my friend fitted a new PSU. When the PC started up, it BSOD'd. It was linked to the creative drivers, so he reinstalled the computer. It blue screened as soon as it tried to install the drivers for the sound card. So my friend took his xfi gaming card out, and the pc worked fine, installed, all was ok. So he put my brothers card in his pc, it blue screened. My brother took the card back to PC-World, they replaced the card with a brand new one. Put it in, it blue screened. he took it out, put an old audigy card in there, it worked fine.
His system spec;
AMD Athlon 64 3500
Epox EPN9+ Ultra (or something like that!)
Windows XP Home SP2.
My friend tried the card before windows did any updates, put the most recent drivers on and it failed. I don't know if he tried an older set of drivers, but if I remember correctly, the creative drivers don't get downloaded as part of the default Windows update (if a signed copy is available) so my brother wouldn't have downloaded new drivers to stop the sound working. If it bears any relevance, at the same time as the new PSU was fitted, my brother took the opportunity to install a new gfx card, Geforce 8600 card, but as that isn't causing issues, I'm not seeing a link there.
Any ideas?

Xfi Xtreme Audio Problems with Microphone and other things NEED HELP!!!!

? Alright i have exhausted my search for an answer for my problems.... This is a last resort now!
Im running Windows 7
st Problem: I was having problems with my microphone where people heard themselves through my microphone. Ok well i have a creative Fatility series headset with a supposed noise canceling mic. So last night i was like screw it imma put in the install disk for my sound card Xfi Xtreme Audio.
This Arose my 2nd Problem: Now that the drivers were installed and i finaly got a volume panel it says im running Windows Vista. The name next to my card says Sound Blast X-Fi Xtreme Audio (Vista). Alright so i am running windows 7.... What the heck! Next thing is my microphone doesnt even work! This is just awsome btw and im pretty sure the volume panel isnt even the way it was when i was on an XP system.
So if anyone has a fix to this problem let me know it would be great!

A quick update i was able to fix Problem 2, i had to get rid of what i installed so im just back to Problem . I dont have the VOlume Panel anymore but my microphone still seems to make it so that people can hear themselves....

Xfi xtreme audio no treble/bass contro

i just recently bought a xfi xtreme audio soundcard..
everything works well, except i cant find the treble / bass control in neither the windows volume panel nor creative launch console.. T_T
the treble / bass?control is grayed out, is this function not available for xfi extreme audio? or?issit the drivers problem?
i just feel disappointed with it if?it'streble / bass control is disabled for this soundcard..
becos even my old time SB Li've 5. Digital Entertainment got this?function...

i mean Creative shouldn't just repackaged the old AudigySE under X-FI series just because it redesign the software/driver used...well, they can named it as 'AudigyVista' if they want to let people know it's support under Vista....just named it as X-Fi XtremeAudio' is just a big misleading, can considered as cheating also....and the introduce of XtremeAudio also expose the ugly truth that the so called 'X-FI =Xtreme Fidelity' function such as Csytalizer is just the cheap effect emulated by the software and not the function that processed by the chip at all...

XFi Xtreme Audio Notebook--Onboard MI

I have the X-Fi Pro Elite on my desktop PC and am satisfied with the onboard MIDI it provides. I am looking at buying the X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook for use when I'm traveling but still working on MIDI files--can I expect the same or similar quality of onboard MIDI?

I wasn't confusing anything. To quote the page you linked to and to back up what I said:
"X-Fi Xtreme Audio
The entry-level model of the X-Fi series, the Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio, does not actually have the EMU20K chip but is a re-branded Audigy SE, using the same family of chips (CA006-WBTLF), and even the same drivers[2]. Thus, not only is all of the X-Fi?related processing performed in software, but it also lacks basic hardware acceleration just the like SB Li've! 24 bit, the Audigy SE and other budget Soundblaster models. The X-Fi Xtreme Audio does not use the same drivers as the rest of the X-Fi family, some games do not recognize it as being "X-Fi capable hardware", and the device's hardware profile resembles that of older Li've! and Audigy cards. Furthermore, users have reported that it slows down some applications and games [][2][3]. Thus, even if the card is marketed as part of the X-Fi line, it does not belong to it technically, just like the Audigy SE doesn't technically belong to the Sound Blaster Audigy series. The card is not marketed as supporting the "X-Fi Gaming Mode" (but is still marketed as "X-Fi"), and there are no official implicit or explicit statements regarding its having hardware acceleration or not."

Xfi Xtreme Audio Supp

ok, I bought a low end card, but I'm not a gamer and I find it's sound fine for music. In Vista, I have drivers, but no mixer, crystallizer, or simulated 5.. Alchemy supports all Xfi, except mine. So,is Creative telling me, since I haven't purchased a high end card, all I'll get is plain vanilla stereo in Vista?

No, try to use the search function or something, that question has been asked hunderds of time already in this forum.
The drivers they have for Vista now are pretty much final, but they haven't got an audio console (that contains the crystalizer, eq and other features). For the audio console you'll have to wait until at least April.

XFI Xtreme Audio - Vista - XFX8800GTX - LA

Hi,?Hoping some regular contributors here can help with a familiar issue in Vista and it's driver support. I have a hi-spec gaming machine that works A-OK in XP, but despite recent release of NVIDIA's 00.64 drivers that supposedly support G80 cards like my 2 x 8800GTX in full SLI for DX9 I am getting very poor performance in real games. 3D benchmark scores are only slightly lower (00 down over 3,000+), but in real games - most noticeably COD2 the whole game lags noticeably both online and single player. Like most I put this down to NVIDIA and it's Vista drivers, but I am now wondering if my XFi card and it's drivers for Vista may also be part or even all of the issue!
The reason for this is that the sound (particularly 3D sound) lags as well and it is when the sound lags that the game lags. I have also read some of the technical posts by admin here and it mentions early issues with Vista and in particular 3D effects sound. Does anyone else have G80 graphics, Xfi sound and Vista and can they advise what you have found about this 3D sound issue and are the Feb 6th Drivers for Xfi and Vista any better than the previous ones I am now using?Ridesy

Just curious, you have quite a rig there, but with an odd mismatch in performance parts. The X-fi Extreme Audio is the budget model which really should not have been called an X-fi. It has no hardware mixing/processing (thats done by software) which?impacts performance. It doesnt even use the same drivers as the other 'real' X-fi cards. And unlike the other X-fi cards, it wont be compatible with the Alchemy software to regain the EAX effects in Vista. I'm pretty sure you'll end up ditching it as you find out more about it:?http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=200348?

Record streaming audio with XFI Xtreme Audio C

I just got a new pc with this card and unfortunately it has no what u hear or stereo? mix record option.Can I loop the Digital output device(SPDIF) into the Digital input device(SPDIF) to record streaming audio? I can't install a different card because it will void my extended warranty. Thanks

I had no trouble recording "what you hear" streaming audio with my extreme audio (pcie). If you are using the same card I'll walk you through it, if you're using the pci version, take a look to see if it's the same and try it. Open Creative console launcher (by clicking the icon in the system tray), select the mixer, find the record ("rec") slider, (on my console it's on the far right) click the little triangle in the box at the top of the slider, select "what u hear", open creative mediasource, hit record, and start the streaming audio.

What is Pax?
Formally known as Youpax, Pax was founded by Robert McClelland 5 years ago, who is continuing to provide an alternati've tweaked driver to the Official driver released by Creative.
Why should I install this Pax alternati've?
Pax is aimed at improving sound quality and to give a more deeper bass sound, while retaining the clarity of the overall output audio. Most users continue to use Pax drivers once moving over and never look back!

X-Fi Xtreme Audio & 4GB RAM issue - latest driver?

:X-Fi Xtreme Audio & >4GB RAM issue - latest driver?T Hi All,
Been using an X-Fi Xtreme Audio with 4GB RAM for ages, no issues.
I purchased and installed a zotac 9600 GT which has GB onboard ram, which works fine, but now my X-Fi has started causing general system instability. (processes using heaps of CPU time whilst apparently doing not much, jerky/slow adobe flash, distorted (slow-motion) audio at random times, etc etc.
In the support section here it says:
Audio issue from output from soundcard with computer having 4GB RAM:
<span class="text">
Keywords: <font>4GB ram, installation, xfi, x-fi
Summary: Customers with computers having <font>4GB or above of RAM and are experiencing audio issues, please download the latest driver for your sound card.
However... When this issue first came up I formatted my primary dri've, reinstalled the OS and downloaded the latest drivers for EVERYTHING. The problem has prevailed..
It was only yesterday that I tracked down this problem in the support section here, and tried to verify that my driver is indeed the latest. But device manager lists the driver as "6.0.0.209" when in the support section here the downloads are named ".xx.xxxx" or something. How can I confirm that I have the latest driver? In any case, I'm almost certain that I have the latest, and this issue is still occuring.
I have read in other forums that on other varients of my X-FI card, the latest drivers have not solved this problem either.. sorry I cant be more accurate than that.
For now, I have solved this problem by simply removing 2GB of ram from my PC. Obviously, I'd like to find a solution and put the other 2GB back in!
Thanks in advance for your help!

Could DanielK please mod this as well, so we can try them. Or Daniel, you could you please tell me how you modified the previous drivers from auzentech as I dont know how these CL drivers work and are modified. What is the inf in these drivers, and if you could tell me the deviceID?s of all the x-fi models, or atleast for x-fi xtreme music as it is my modell. Thx in advance!
EDIT:
I have modified the drivers, was not so hard after all. Im uploading the file now, which should have support for all X-FI cards thanks to Daniel's great job with the earlier version.
Upload finished in 4-5minutes. I will post with link soon to rapidshare!

There is a very good reason why it tells you your card isn't supported, that's because it isn't,?This download?is an?application for Creative Sound Blaster? X-Fi? series of audio devices. It restores 3D audio and EAX? effects for certain DirectSound?3D games in Microsoft? Windows Vista?. For more details, read the rest of this web release note.
This download supports the following audio devices only:
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro<
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi?XtremeGamer Fatalty?Pro<
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatalty<
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum Fatalty Champion Series<
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Platinum<
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer<
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeMusic<
?Alchemy was written to translate DirectSound3D software calls to OpenAL hardware calls, and unfortunately the Xtreme Audio doesn't have the hardware, the EMU20K2?(all that card basically is is a renamed SB Li've 24 bit/Audigy SE, neither of which have the hardware either).

X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card not work

Hello, in my first time building a computer, I've had problems that have been solved via various forums, and I'm finally at my last problem that I need to fix. I got an X-Fi extreme audio card that isn't working properly. I know that the card isn't broken or inserted improperly, as when I test the speakers through the card (I'm using the green analog cable, plugged into the card), it works nicely. However, when I try to listen to anything else, like music, youtube, etc, I can only get sound (occasionally) through the headphone jack, which makes things sound really strange through the speakers. When I try to put headphones in (the headphone jack), they don't make any sound. Does anyone know a solution to this? I've tried going through all the settings, turning the mobo's onboard audio controller on and off, and many other things. I'm using a Abit IN9 32X MAX motherboard, Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio VARPAK 7. Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express Interface Sound Card?and 32-bit Vista.

Today you're lucky, i also have an MSI XFI Audio but it's PCIe, if your card is PCIe, here is the CD:This CD is from a user named NUJA, http://nuja.free.fr/SBXAudioPCIe.rar , contain : CREATIVE_ALCHEMY_X-FI .00.07
Audio Console 2.40.2
Console Launcher 2.30.32
Creative Volume Panel 2.0.80
driver din 03/04/2008,6.0.0.20
This CD is better then CD from MSI, it has newer application and drivers.

XFI xtreme music haven't control Dolby/

> I have recently buy Creative Xfi Xtreme Music SB 0460 - Afte install driver from disc . I run Creative Entertainment Center . And can't see Icon Dolby digital / DTS ES . Only have icon : Speaker , EAX , CMSS , Crystal , Mixer , EQ , I/O .

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
