XFI XtremeGamer SB0770 Connection i

i currently have an XFI XtremeGamer SB0770 and am trying to hook up my winfast tv2000 xp expert tv card to it for audio. Since theres a lack of a manual for download or with the card... the only headers i can see on the card to connect the AUX cable to that runs from the tvcard to the xfi, are the dual headers that are used to hook frontpanel headphone/microphone connections too?are these what your supposed to use? i tried the cable on these pins (the aux connector doesn't make use of them all so bit of trial and error needed)? and got audio from them, but obviously now i can't use the front panel connections..

up ya go

Xfi Xtremegamer Sound Out Selectively to

Hello,
I am havin a rather odd issue with my new system and I was hoping someone here would be able to help me or at least point me in the right direction. I just built a computer (Asus P5E-vm do, MSI8800GT 52MB, Xfi Xtremegamer, 4GB Gskill PC2 6400, WD 750GB 7400rpm 3.0 gb/s, Core 2 Duo E8400) with the hopes of using it as a media center. At first I installed Vista, but wiped the dri've and installed XP Pro Sp3 32bit in the hopes that it would solve the issue.
Alright, so here's my problem: when I change my video settings to Dual View or clone (basically whenever the computer outputs video to my TV), there is no sound output to the TV. The sound works fine on the TV when my video settings are set to single display mode for my monitor. I am using an audio out to RCA cable and a DVI to HDMI cable for video.
My card model is SB0730, bought brand new from Amazon.
I've tried doing a complete uninstall of drivers, as one of the guides on this site advised. I've installed the latest video and sound drivers from their respecti've manufacturer's websites. This is all on a completely fresh install of XP Pro SP3. I've also verified that it is not a problem with the TV itself as I have a similar setup on an older computer and the sound works perfect with multiple displays.
Any ideas would be immensely appreciated as I'm at a loss.

!Try other drivers (preferably latest).
It sounds like you are running some kind of an audio filter which makes music sound different.
It could be a codec configured wrong, like you are listening to stereo but it makes it surround (or the opposite).
Or your mixer / preset is not the default.
If changing the mixer doesn't work (if it's already default) maybe try uninstalling your audio/video codecs and see if anything changes.

Sound problems with vista 32 bit on xfi xtremegamer

hi im havin sound issues with my sound blaster xfi fatality xtremegamer on vista 32 bit. the sound will sound like a skippin cd or sound like it is stuterin for a few seconds than it will play fine than do it again later on. i was wounderin if its a driver issue with vista or my sound card has broke? i had it runnin on xp and had no problems. can anyone help me please as my card is only abot 8 months old so if it could be faltiy i am still covered by warrinty.

I don't know if it's the driver that's causing a problem or if it's one of your components that's causing a problem. All I know is that the X-Fi is working great on my system, both in XP Pro and Vista Business. I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think I installed the driver first and then the software from the leaked Vista Suite that I downloaded from a link in a post on this forum. Never had a problem with any of the previous drivers either, but on the other hand this system was built in november/december last year, so the hardware was fairly new at the time.

Xfi XtremeGamer and 2.1 speakers prob

Hi, the problem is that the XtremeGamer is using?left channel for bass sounds and rigth channel for the treeble sounds and not using the sub-buffer at all so the sound is really poor with music and in games the 3D sound is weaker when coming from the left and that really sucks. The speakers worked fine with my onboard sound card but when I switched to the Xfi it turned out this way. The onboard card is uninstalled now so I think that thats not the problemIf Anyone knows how to fix this I would really?apreciate it. Thank you in advance and sorry for my bad english

Ummm... That solution sets your desktop speakers as rear speakers unless I'm remembering wrong... No offense but to me that is not a valid solution. I would just buy a y-splitter for a /8 " Mini connector run both off Line Out #. Then leave it set to 2. so you get the proper sound.

Sound cutting out/crackling/pops in Windows 7 XFi XtremeGamer

System specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate fully updated
Q6600 @ 3.0ghz
Asus P5N32-E Sli Motherboard (680i Chipset) 80 bios revision w/ nVidia 5.5 nforce drivers
2x2 Gigs Corsair ?DDR2 800 @
In dual channel mode
BFG 285-GTX w/ 96.2 drivers
X-Fi XtremeGamer w/ PCDRV_LB2_8_003 drivers
With this setup I am unable to use CMSS 3D without the audio cutting out completely. Before it does so it's usually followed with numerous cracks and po
ps.
Disabling CMSS 3D alleviates this problem, however I occasionally get a slight pops and crackles when playing games or listening to music.
While playing Mass Effect 2 the sound will completely cut out in the same manner it does when I have CMSS 3D enabled, despite the option being turned off in the console launcher.
At first I tried a clean install of the drivers, removing drivers, using driver cleaner pro, registry cleaner and then reinstalling them. Did not fix the issue. I then did the same for the chipset drivers and my video card drivers.
I thought it may have been a problem with OpenAL (for mass effect 2) so I reinstalled that. Same problem.
I tried using PAX's driver's, same problem.
I've used DPC Latency Checker V.2.0 and according to it my machine should be able to handle real-time streaming audio with no dropouts.
I'm at a loss at what else to do and any further help would be appreciated.

Just an update on my problem.
I was able to resolve the sound cutting out issue and the cracks/pops issue within windows by disabling CMSS3D + setting my sample rate to 24 bit, 96k Hz.. Using 92k Hz results in the cracks and pops coming back, although they are few and far between.
Unfortunately this did not resolve my issue with the sound/audio cutting out in mass effect 2. I tried the onboard sound and that also cuts out, so I've determined it's not a hardware issue but rather a bug of some sort within the game. There are also other sparse reports of people having the same issue.
Thanks

SB Xfi Xtremegamer...no sound, Audio Console doesnt detect audio devi

I recently did a fresh install of Windows XP MC edition 2005.
Now, among many other problems, Creative Audio Console won't start, saying it cannot find the audio device. I am getting no sound at all. Add Hardware says my card is installed and working properly. So? go to device manager, and there is an exclamation point next to Game Port for Creative and it says "this device cannot start" with a " Code 0".
I downloaded the latest Creative drivers when I did the install of XP because I dont have the original CD from the card which I bought about 6 months ago. The card worked fine until I did the fresh XP install and applied the latest drivers.
Any advice would be appreciated

Hmm, well, what's showing up in your Control Panel. There should be an Audio Console in there. Also, go to your add/remove programs. Is? anything creative showing up there? The? console that's included with the drivers is not the complete? console, it's very basic and not so great. Also, look at what card that console is showing up as. It's kind of an off-white rectangular box and will have tabs something like:
Device Information? Mode? Speakers? EAX Effects CMSS-3D Headphone Detection Restore Defaults?
If you're trying to access this? minimal console from your taskbar? there's a good chance you will get an error. I had it happen. The only way to access it is to go through the Control Panel.
I sent my computer in for a rebuild, they put an extrememusic in but did not install the software - just the drivers. An icon was in my taskbar, but I couldn't access it from there. I had to go in through the Control Panel. ? I have an XtremeGamer. In my control panel/Audio Console there it says SB X-Fi[9800] which even Creative support says is wrong, but no one has been able to fix it - not Creative, not the techs from the computer company. And in trying to get all the drivers/software uninstalled, it's either corrupted or disabled other programs that have nothing to do with Creative. I swear, their stuff is the AOL of soundcards. Leaves crap everywhere that's close to impossible to remove.
Also, check your DirectX version since you have done a reinstall. I'm grasping at straws here trying to think of what else could be the problem.
The only other suggestion I can make is to try contacting customer support and see if you can get a replacement installation CD. They really should have ALL the components needed for installing a card here on the site. CDs do get lost, they get scratched, broken, whatever.

Xfi Xtremegamer Not working, please he

I just bought this Xtremegamer sound card. It is brandnew, right out the box. I uninstalled all the drivers following these instructions. http://us.creative.com/support/kb/ar...asp?l=3&sid=72?And then reinstalled the drivers. As soon as the drivers are installed i get blaring loud static from my speakers, no matter what i change i get nothing else but static. I have no idea what else to do, i updated my bios, i downloaded new drivers. I did everything that should be done when installing a new device, i dont understand why my sound card will do nothing but play loud annoying static. And i know it is the sound card, because my speakers work just fine with my old soundcard. I willl include my DxDiag in case that will be some help. But i really need help figuring out how? to get this card to work.

Vista 64 bit and Xfi xtremegamer working sort o

Well after some /2 installs, some errors, and a multitude of different drivers, i was able to get sound to come out of my speakers!! problem is.. its only the front 3. ie: center, front left, and front right.
When I go through the configure utility in vista,? I can run the test and it will go through all my speakers and ill get the tone from all of them, however when I click next, the box for "side speakers" is grey'd out. The only boxes available/checked are rear, center, and subwoofer... anyone have any ideas on how i can get A) that box un grey'd out and B) the other 2 speakers working? (which vista seems to think the rear's are the ones working when its in fact the front??

Will this solution work for the Palm Treo 755p?

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.

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.

Xfi XtremeGamer Sound Problem

Hi all,
i've got a bit of an issue with the sound output on my XtemeGamer, the best way to explain it is the lower end sounds are very quiet an example of this is on the song California Dreaming you can hear the female singer a-ok but the male singer can hearly be heard.
I've tried disabling all the 3d and EAX options in the creative control panel along with the line in and aux connector from the windows sound app.
Also i have all of the latest drivers and control panel as of yesterday
Anyone got any ideas how to fix this?

!Try other drivers (preferably latest).
It sounds like you are running some kind of an audio filter which makes music sound different.
It could be a codec configured wrong, like you are listening to stereo but it makes it surround (or the opposite).
Or your mixer / preset is not the default.
If changing the mixer doesn't work (if it's already default) maybe try uninstalling your audio/video codecs and see if anything changes.

Soundblaster XFI XtremeGamer PCI Awkward Sound

Hi there,
i?ve got a high pitched noise problem with my Soundblaster. Almost every restart (95%) from my pc I got the same noise its like itching in hell. The windows logon sound (and every other Sound) sounds like 500 rats at the same time its annoying and i cant find the solution.
My System:
ICD E8400?
4096MB MDT DDR-2 800
Gigabyte P35-DQ 6
2 x 8800 GTS 640MB SLI
be Quiet Dark Power 550 W
I installed the drivers from the included Driver CD then after two month I first had these probs with the high pitched noise occured almost after every System restart. Then I deinstalled the Creative Drivers rebooted and installed the new drivers again. After a new reboot everthing was fine but after the next reboot the same problem with the sound. After a while and still the same problem I installed a new OS Windows XP 64 Bit and installed the newest Creative drivers still the same probs when i reboot the system. I am getting crazy with this.
First I am no PC noob so I am aware what i did so far to solve the problem (e.g. switched the PCI- Slots, deactivated Onboard Sound and and and....). This cant be I mean I didnt pay almost 70 ? for nothing I mean though I could use the onboard Sound but I play CSS EPS @ ESL so I need to rely on my hardware 00 percent. Maybe you can help me fix this prob fast or I have to make an RMA ( the Soundblaster is 5 month old now^^).
Sincerly yours,
Trp82

Try swapping PCI slots of your Wireless card. If your sound card is PCIX you can only move it to a x, x4 x8 or x6 slot. The wireless card can be moved to any other PCI slot.

Xfi decode tab missing - spdif soun

ok, i've spent about 5 hours going through these forums.
I have the retail version of the Xfi Xtremegamer that states I can have dolby/dts sound through powerdvd download. I have this connected to a p7800 inspire 7. speaker set.
How do I get dolby / dts sound for my movies? I have downloaded powerdvd - and I have tried to follow all the steps in the sticky post:
"Digital Connections, SPDIF and Dolby Digital Info" step 2) Decode the AC3/DTS with your Sound Blaster. or 3) Decode the AC3/DTS with software.
In powerdvd / configuration / audio tab, I have selected "use spdif". On the audio console / spdif I/O tab, the SPDIF Input Settings are greyed out, and there is NO decoder tab.
I am tesing with the dvd "The Core" with 5. dolby sound selected. On first attempt to play, I just get loud clicking sounds. If I stop the movie and then play again, the second attempt will load the onscreen display of the dolby digital bitstream logo, but there is no sound.
I've also tried AC3filter with both media player classic and zoom player.
how do i get this working? And how do i know if sound is playing in dolby or dts?

Hi?I have the same card like you , and i have this problem but i found here in forums 4 files and?copy ?them intosystem32/data folder then restart the computer i found dd/dts tabs on audio console?Thanx

Xtremegamer no output from optical out in Vista 64.

Hello,
I spent over 2 weeks going over those forums and goggling around the problem I have. ?
Ever since I upgraded from Vista x86 to Vista x64 I cannot get the sound out through my digital out (flexijack) connection. I am connecting to Onkyo SR800 ( I don't think Onkyo is causing the problem since it worked before)
Here is what I tried:
. I verified the optical cable and mini-toslink adapter work.
2 I tried latest drivers from Creative site.
3. I tried older drivers ( SBXF_PCDVT_LB_2_5_0004,? SBXF_PCDVT_LB_2_5_0002 ?SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_5_0006)
4. I tried changing spdif out to default audio device in vista.
5. I tried changing sampling rate from 48 to 96 Hz in audio console.
6. I readjusted all volume controls in both vista and creative to the maximum.
7 I tried sending test sounds to spdif out.
8. Tried Daniel_K's support packs.
9. Some of the older drivers used to have other tab with Digital I/O checkbox, but that did not help also.
To add some background information:
My onboard audio is disabled and I have no problems outputting sound to my 2 speakers connected to line on the XFI Xtremegamer. In vista x86? I was able to output simultaneously to both my 2 crappy speakers and to my Onkyo receiver (7.). I saw that some people were able to get stereo output through optical out, but I can get a **bleep** squeak out of my onkyo from XFI.
I don't usually post on the boards, because I am able to come across a solution, but this is the first time in my life that I could find a solution. If it wasn't for the price I paid for XFI, I would probably ditched it already and went with onboard Realtek. The problem is that I know XFI sounds better, besides I already spent the money so it's not very useful outside of my computer.

Jmacguire,? thanks for your advice.
It's a very interesting post, I think it should even become a sticky here as it very nicely describes how Vista passes audio to applications.
Unfortunately, that doesn't fix my problem. I tried setting my speakers to 5., and 7.. I also tried setting spdif as a default audio device, but then I get no sound? at all. ?
I went as far as configuring ffdshow filter to enable spdif pass trough. Since I don't even hear a test sound from windows in my receiver, I think that there is some option somewhere that pretty much disables any output to my flexijack.
Also a funny observation,? when I downloaded an iso image of creative officuial drivers ( from April last year I believe)? I had extra options for digital input/output in speakers tab in control panel and in creative audio console.
It seems weird that creative removed those options from newer drivers.
However, checking the checkbox by enable digital I/O did nothing for my problem.
I begin to wonder what would be the most cost effecti've solution to connect my pc to my receiver. I want to use both my computer speakers and my Onkyo receiver, and by using audio jack splitters I will loose stereo signal (if I am correct) and that's a path I do not want to take, but if flexijack will not work in vista 64, I do not have a choice.

Under applications there is this version: [url="http://forums.creative.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/soundblaster/message-id/#">Creative Console Launcher 2.40.09?[/url]
My line-in worked as this is the entertainment mode that?you can turn on your Line-in under the mixer tab. Problem is, when I play my guitar there is quite a latency that is unbearable (.05) for a guitarist. I don't know if this should bother your application for it.
