Xfi-Xtreme music: Sound stops/ high tone when connecting or disconnecting cab

Hi,?For a

Try opening creative console program and changing from 5. to 4. and then?back to 5.. I found it helps in reseting the sound card. Just keep the volume down for now until you are sure this even fixes that problem. It scared the living crap out of me when it happened to me. I hope this helps you, ?I'm trying to find out if rolling back the driver might help too. My Card is?( X-fi extreme music ) Right when they first came out. My problems started after updating driver. ?

  • Creative XFI Xtreme Music & Nforce6 prob

    I recently upgraded my computer system from a MSI Nforce4 motherboard and a AMD-FX 55 processor to a Intel Quad core Q6600, and a MSI Nforce 6 650i P6N SLI Plantinum (or is it premium? i can't remember) Motherboard. After this change i started to get random system crashes. After many many many days of trouble shooting and formatting, i narrowed down the problem to my Creative XFI Xtreme music sound card. When my system crashes, the system will freeze with all but some sound glitches (if playing anything with sound at the time). Only way out is to reboot. No errors in the event logs indicated to me what could have been the problem.
    Even though i have updated all system drivers, Bios, formatted, even used the creative XFI Beta drivers the only thing that solves my system crashes is the removal of the xFI card itself from the system. (yes i have disabled onboard audio). So my question is, Does anyone have any experiences with the Generation XFI cards and a Nforce6 based motherboard that has had a issue like this? Or is it just a compatibility problem with the MSI P6N 650i SLI board itself? Could even be the card has gone bad, however these problems only started after changing hardware which leads me to beli've in a compatibility problem. Could it be the card needs a newer EPROM Chip?
    Any users with the same issue or similiar?
    Thank you very much.

    Thank you everyone for your replys. To answer the Questions (Hope i get them all).
    . I was running WinXP Pro before, and currently Am still running WinXP Pro.
    2. I Did as well change PCI Slots with the same end result of the system freezes/crash.
    3. Toronto699, yes i have noticed the problem only goes away when the SOund card is removed, so at least i Now know i am not alone in this problem.
    I figured that nforce 5/6 must be a issue, although i know there are many people out there that are running XFI cards on these chipsets, it does appear from all of the complaint posts through-out this forum that the latest drivers are not up to speed with all of the newer motherboards/chipsets out there. Esp since it Did work fine on my Nforce4 board (which i know there was a bug Even with the XFI and nforce4 chipsets early on tho i never had any), and only after i changed over did the problem start happening, which lead me to beli've in a incompatibility issue.
    Even though i will probably never come accross a fix.. IF i do, i will be sure to post it.
    once again, thank you for all that have replied.

  • LOUD HISS FROM XFI-XTREME MUSIC C

    I have a Logitech 5500 speaker system and am getting a lot of hiss from the direct input from my sound card- XFI-Xtreme music. I have my cable box connected to the coax input and my DVD player hooked up to the optical input and they work fine but the sound card hisses very bad on the direct input. I have tried everything to corect this to no avail. Can anyone help me fix this PLEASE!!!!

    pvs723,
    Ok, lol. Is it a hiss or a hum? From your last post my first thought is a 60Hz hum, probably from a ground loop. Ground loops occur when one device is not getting a proper ground and is connecting to if through the analog cable to the other device. This extra noise is contaminating the true signal and thus gets amplified as a HUM.
    But first, mute the inputs on the soundcard one at a time and see if it goes away, try not plugging your speakers into the same power strip as the computer (if used), and finally, make sure the outlet / computer is getting a proper ground.
    If all else fails, then it is likely as I discussed above and you will want to look into a set of ground loop isolators or ferrite beads for your setup.

    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

  • Xfi-Xtreme Music Problems after updating dri

    I recently updated my xtreme music sound card drivers from this website and since my music quality has not been the same. With my headphones off music seems sound poor and while watching movies the sound fades out to the point i cant even hear it. The only way i can fix this is by moving the graphic equalizer to the left or right and then i can hear it again. I also dont seem to get any sound out of my centre speaker but i do with the other 4 around my room. Ive tried reinstalling the new drivers and even the old ones and nothing works. Ive alo tried doing the clean boot and driver uninstallation but i get stuck at the point where i hide all microsoft services and click disable all. For some reason i cant click disable all when microsoft services is clicked. Ive run out of idea's. Any help would bhe appreciated.
    Im running windows xp and have never had any problems with sound untill now.
    Thanks in adance for any help.

    You need a cable that meets the HD audio spec. AC97 is not correct for that card. I've heard of some damage actually being done to some cards by using AC97 on a HD audio header connection. I've also never heard of a case front panel assembly not having the cable as part of it.

  • XFI Xtreme Music prob

    Ever since I installed the X-Fi Xtreme Music on my computer it likes to hang up occassionally when trying to open certain programs meaning that I will click on say Internet Explorer and it just sits there for 5-0 seconds before it opens. It did not do this before I installed the X-FI. Sometimes it will run games like Nascar Racing 2003 Season, sometimes it won't. I deleted all the drivers, software etc. for my old sound card and used Driver Cleaner Pro before I installed this card and the software. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    Specs:
    MSI - PT880 NEO MoboP4Kingston .5GB Mem.Windows XPSoundBlaster X-FI Xtreme Music Sound CardNVIDIA GeForce 6600 Graphics Card

    I can verify I have the same exact problem and have as yet been unable to fix it. I just updated X-FI drivers. It seems to hang much worse after playing D3D or OpenGL games. During the gaming it usually runs perfectly.
    I tried killing all of the (for lack of a better word) Garbage processes that Creative seems to think I want. This does absolutly nothing, save freeing a few megs of ram.
    I do notice DLLML.exe constantly uses around 2 ticks on the cpu scale of task manager (with no sound playing). This seems odd, as even video drivers usually use around 0. I would check to see if it got stuck around 00 when the computer decides to lock up, but the screen tends not to re-draw during the "locking up" time.
    here's some specs
    2.8 Ghz Pentium 4
    Gb Ram
    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
    X-Fi Xtreme Music blah blah
    ASUS P4P800 SE Motherboard
    Not sure if it would have any relevancy, but before the X-Fi I had a Li've!
    BTW, it does sound great, dispite the fact that the digial coax port is my mike port.

  • XFi xtreme music PCI + HD 2900XT vista 64 drivers incompatib

    I can get my HD 2900XT card working fine on its own.
    I can get my XFi Xtreme music PCI card working on its own.
    Installed together they cause constant lockups and crashes.
    Which ever cards drivers I install second after a clean windows install takes many many hours. Very odd.
    Disabling AVS unified stream- no effect
    Disabling XFi driver with card installed improves stability slightly but still multiple crashes.
    Any suggestions, bar snapping the sound card in two?

  • Where can i get an hdmi driver so i can get sound in my tv when connected to my hp pavilion dv6

    where can i get an hdmi driver so i can get sound in my tv when connected to my hp pavilion dv6

    Hi,
    HDMI sound is actually comes with the video card. DV6 is a reries of dozens if not hundreds of models, which one is yours ? Please use the following steps to check and fix:
    General Instructions for Setting Up HDMI Audio
    Preliminary steps:
    1. Plug the laptop into a power source. Some of the models have a power management scheme that will not allow for HDMI audio while running on batteries. Later, after you get your HDMI audio working, if you find that it still does not work on batteries you can change your power management settings in the Control Panel.
    2. HDMI has its own audio driver separate from the audio system of the computer ( Sigmatel, IDT, or Realtek ) . It is incorporated into the graphics card's driver so make sure you have the newest version of your graphics card driver. On models with Intel graphics the HDMI audio driver will appear in the Device Manager as "Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus".
    3. Turn off the computer and TV before connecting the HDMI cable. Later, after you get your HDMI audio working, if you disconnect the cable while the computer is running and lose your audio, try closing and then re-opening whichever program you were using that generates audio.
    4. Every time you try a different solution you should reboot the computer. HDMI audio is extremely finicky and seems to usually need a reboot.
    Make the Connection:
    1. Connect the HDMI cable to the computer and TV. If the TV has a "DVI/HDMI" port do not use it. Use a port for HDMI only.
    2. Turn on the TV and select the HDMI port you are using. Adjust the TV settings to receive HDMI audio if any.
    3. Turn on the computer. (Optional, some people close the laptop lid immediately after hitting the power button but I am not sure why. Most people should not need to do this.)
    4. Optional. Some models do better if the TV is set to be the primary display. To set, repeatedly press Fn+F8 (or ctrl+alt+F4) to cycle through the settings (laptop display only/laptop display plus external display/external display only). Reboot the laptop.
    5. Go to Start>Control Panel>Sound>Playback tab. Make "HDMI" the default device. (If "HDMI" is not there, right click in the white area and look under "Show Disconnected Devices" or "Show Disabled Devices" and see if it is there.)
    Post Connection Problems:
    1. If there is still no option to select "HDMI' as the default audio playback device, try re-installing or updating the graphics driver, or even try an older version. The graphics driver is the driver for HDMI audio, not the regular audio driver. A few people with Intel graphics had better results by uninstalling the graphics driver, rebooting, and letting Windows look for a driver (instead of downloading the driver from the Dell support site).
    2. Try disconnecting and then reconnecting the HDMI cable.
    3. If you are using Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center but get no HDMI audio even after it is selected as the default playback device, go to
    Control Panel>Sound>Playback tab>Audio/Playback device>HDMI>properties>Advance>Exclusive Mode and uncheck "exclusive mode".
    4. Try a different HDMI cable.
    5. Try a different HDMI port on the TV.

  • Will my Mac automatically stop using wifi when connected to an Ethernet enabled thunderbolt display?

    Will my 2012 Macbook pro retina  automatically stop using wifi when connected to an Ethernet enabled thunderbolt display?

    Depends.
    If you go in System Preferences / Network, you will see a list of all the network interfaces your current configuration has. If you click on the gear icon next to the minus sign, the drop menu will offer "Set Service Order...". There you can prioritize the order of use: Ethernet above Wi-Fi and wireless will be ignored if Ethernet is available.
    Note that the Wi-Fi card will remain active and associated with an access point nonetheless. It just won't be used for communications by the OS and apps.

    MacPro stop FaceTime opening when connecting camera

    thanks for helping, but i already saw this thread.
    Ive got the same problem than this people, given my camera is firewire iidc.
    "Unfortunately, FireWire video cameras are not recognized as imaging sources, so Image Capture doesn't pick them up. As a result, you can't use Image Capture to prevent FaceTime from accessing this video camera"
    Another solution?
    using Terminal?

  • My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo

    My iPhone 4 plays music at a low volume when connected to a car stereo either by fm transmitter or aux cable. The volume on the phone is full and the car stereo is full yet you can barely hear it. Anyone else had issues with this

    I seem to remember someone several months ago having this same problem and I think it turned out to be the AUX cord.
    FM transmitters tend to have low volume associated with them as well from my experience.

  • Mag Safe power cord sparks when connected or disconnected--whereupon the MacBook Pro 13'' dumps date and time, and all passwords, plus any/all unsaved information.

    I purchased my MacBook Pro 13" from the Apple Store in Tucson, AZ, in mid-January. Since then, every time the Mag-Safe cord is jostled, not even disconnected, sparks fly from the power terminal on the computer, the computer shuts down, and dumps its passwords, as well as the date and time.
    Any work in progress is also lost.
    I work overseas, and Apple's advice was to give them my credit card number, await shipment of a new power supply and cord, and then, when I return the old power supply and cord, i'd receive a credit. That won't work, as packages from the US to my location take weeks if they arrive at all. There is no Apple Store within a reasonable distance. Or, Apple suggests, when I'm home on leave in mid-June, I should bring the computer to the Apple Store for repair--I have only days in which to do that, but I suppose I'll need to try. My concern is that I'll need to return overseas without my computer and won't be able to retrieve it for months, until my next leave.
    This issue shows up elsewhere online. Is there a short in the power terminal in the computer, or on the Mag-Safe power cord, or within the computer itself? It's a known issue, thus I wonder why it hasn't been fixed.

    Odd, but here's a copy of Page 1 of the links I got:

  • XFi Xtreme Music Audio is crackly when running Camfrog (Vista drive

    My?Winamp and someitmes WMP audio is crackly when I run Camfrog (webchat software). It's fine when I don't run Camfrog. I've checked my settings, system resources, drivers, nothing's helped. I'm running verion 5.33. My other system specs are:
    Dell Dual Core 2.8 GHz CPU
    2 Gb RAM
    Sound Blaster XFi Etxreme Music (with latest Vista drivers)
    Windows Vista Home Premium (fully updated)
    Could this be because Winamp is not fully Vista compatible? Is it a problem with the XFi Vista Driver? Any help would be appreciated, and thanks. XTrail

    I have the same Problem under Vista64, under Vista32 i didn't have the cracking sound at all.
    Somewhere in this Forum there is a Thread, who says it has to do with the 4Gig Ram other Thread says it has to do with the driver them self.
    I just found a workaround to avoid the cracking in going to the Hardware Manager inside Vista and disable the sound card, then enable it again and change the Sound Quality setting in your Playback device to 24bit or 6bit, a change is necessary then hit the Test button if it crack start from the beginning again till it doesn't crack anymore.
    I know this solution is really a bad one but it works. Most of the time x disable and enabling will solve it but sometimes i have to do it twice.
    If anyone has a better solution or workaround pls post it!
    thx

  • USB XFI 5.1 sounds much worse than XFI Xtreme Music

    why does the XFI 5. Surround USB sound so much worse than the internal XFI cards like the Xtreme Music? The USB version sounds really cheap despite using the same settings. I don?t think its broken, I also tried it on 2 different pcs with the same bad result. it sounds like some cheap onboard sound.

    i use windows xp SP3
    thnx
