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.

  • 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?

  • Xfi platinum dual sound out

    I would like to find out if this product is capable of doing dual sound out? So you have sounds from dvd out into headphone and music out to speakers. is this possible of this product??

    If you mean two separate stereo outputs then, it's possible (X-Fi Plat is 7.1 card -> 8 analog mono output channels available (in PCI Card) + 2 analog mono output channels (in I/O Drive). I don't know if the Headphone-out in I/O Drive is shared w/ ports in PCI card (line-out 1&2) so, ... .
    You need an additional player software that allows you to set the output ports freely --> NI TRAKTOR BeatPort Player and Foobar as for an example can be used (I suggest to use ASIO device drivers w/ this other player).
    Your DVD player outputs normally through output channels 1&2 when stereo source is used (and uses DS/MME/WDM device drivers) --> you just set the additional player to output through channels 3&4 (or 5&6, 7&8). Some other settings needs to be done in CT software but, since you don't seem to have the card in hands yet, ...
    If you meant to output multichannel (5.1) and stereo simultaenously, that may be a bit more difficult to be done (I quess) ... .

  • 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.

  • How I got sound out of my Audigy 2 in Bet

    We all know how there's no drivers out yet for Vista Beta 2...so people are suggesting all kinds of things to try to get our SB cards to work... I have Vista Beta 2 Build 5384 installed and I have an Audigy 2 ZS card...and no matter what Audigy drivers I tried...no love. I decided to do a clean install of Vista this time and try something out...AND IT WORKS! Maybe you guys can try this out too and see if it works for you.
    Here's the steps I took:
    . I downloaded the latest Vista 32-bit drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS from Creative's site...the one that's November '05 and named SBAX_PCDVTBETA_US_2_08_0002.exe
    2. I downloaded the latest Realtek AC'97 Vista Beta drivers from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlac97-2.aspx?series=8&Software=True
    3. Install the Sound Blaster driver, you'll have to reboot...once you reboot it should try to install the drivers but will fail...atleast with me, I kept getting a time out error saying its failed.
    4. Now I don't have onboard soundon my Dell..just the SB card so I figured let me try Realtek drivers anyway... Install the Realtek driver, reboot, you should be prompted to install your soundcard driver.. I selected to let it show me the available drivers list and my Audigy was in the list...hit install and it installed the Audigy drivers for me! What the Realtek drivers have to do with anything, I don't know...but it worked for me so I'm happy
    The only thing is that after testing all the speaker set ups up to 5.....5. didn't 00% work...my rear speakers and sub wouldn't produce a sound while testing while the rest of the speakers did...and then they would get distored...so I have to keep it in STEREO mode int he configuration. Doesn't matter to me since I just put my Logitech Z5500 speakers in "stereo X2" mode so sound comes out all the speakers...and the sub still will pound.
    Hopefully this works for you guys who are having problems getting sound out in Beta 2...lemme know how it works!Message Edited by vice86 on 06-30-2006 07:53 PM

    . The beta driver is flakey, use the XP driver
    2. there is no consistant way to install the driver, upon various OS reinstalls (I have installed at least a dozen times at this point, I am testing a variety of stuff under the covers) I have gotten things to work as easy as slick install upon OS install completion... to haveing to fight tooth and nail in safe mode (on the same machine)
    3. The Vista release was not a surprise, the number of major hardware vendors that have their ducks in a row with drivers is greater then those that do not. However, this is beta people, if you expect a finished product use XP... wait XP is a mismash of patchs and updates just like every other MS OS.
    4. if you want perfection and things to work right out of the box, get a MAC

  • Can't get sound out of imac

    I am a musician and am trying to mix down some tracks off of a hard disk. I have a hard disc recorder and a mixing board that i am running into an M-audio Firewire solo. I have the signal flow going into the firewire solo and then into my mac. when i click on the system preferences and go to sound I have the fire wire solo as the input and the headphone as the output. i see good signal coming into the mac but can't seem to get any sound out of the mac. the headphne out is hte only thing I see as an output which i have selected. please help - I cant hear anything!!

    .. It can't be an m-audio issue when i have a great input signal could it?? ..
    with my humble experience of 20 years with Macs - no, that is not neccessairly a (computer's) logic conclusion ..
    as said, I just have some know-how with iM/camcorders... and we do experience some same 'effects', e.g. 'cause camcorder is import-disabled, as many Euroepan devices are ... or, we experience control over camera via firewire but no picture etc.pp.
    different approach:
    are you able to use your devcie with other apps, e.g. Logic, Grarageband.
    it is an audio-interface, I assume, you're using in mainly for ... ehm, audio.

  • After installing an update I am no longer able to hear sound out of my speakers. A red light comes on where the headphone jack is. I have already attempted to trip to switch with a wooden toothpick in the headphone jack but have not had luck.

    after installing an update I am no longer able to hear sound out of my speakers. A red light comes on where the headphone jack is. I have already attempted to trip to switch with a wooden toothpick in the headphone jack but have not had luck.

    Have you gone into system prefs nad made sure that the headphone port is set to audio out. And not audio in.
    Also make sure that you are selecting built in speakers for your audio output.
    If that does not fix it try doing a Pram reset.
    Shut your mac down.
    Press the startup button.
    Hold down the following keys. Command Option P and R. Wait till you hear the chime 2 times. Then let go. See if that fixes it.

  • DDL or DTS = no sound out of rear speak

    I have a sb xfi plat with optical out going to a dd/dts reciever and every time i play an mp3 i only get sound out of the front speakers and not my rears, is anyone else having this issue?

    bigjohns97 wrote:
    Thank you for the responce, however with every other DDL / DTS connect (nforce2 soundstorm,?blue gears, auzentech) you could enable DDL or DTS connect and any stereo source would automatically be 5. or 6. surround sound. See below.
    MP3 source -> real ddl/dts connect sound car?-> dolby digital / dts stream -> external reciever with dolby digital dts light on +sound on all speakers
    On the sound blaster the following happens
    MP3 source ->?sb xfi plat -> dolby digital /dts stream with only 2 channels being used?-> external reciever with DD or DTS light on + sound from only front speakers.
    Are you telling me this is how?creative designed this to work because?it isn't working like?every other DDL / DTS connect card out there.
    I don't kow how and where exactly the defferences are between those solutions. But as I told it, it is the way the Creative implemention handles it. If you don't use CMSS-3D or use the surround functions of you Decoder (I have a seperate balance for "surround" on my Z-5500 where I can set If the rear speaker are used *at all*) you won't get automaticly Surround Sound with MP3. Of course it still depends a bit on you player software, there are player/filters (AC3 Filter; ffdshow) out there which can do that too. Upmixing Stuff, I mean but then you don't really need DDL. I use it to encode actual game sounds, because strangely I don't have any popping and noise in there while I use it (just read up that crackling/popping thread.

  • Routing sound out of logic

    I have just purchased a Korg Monotron and am very pleased with it!
    I am trying to send sound out from Logic into the Monotron, and then filter the audio in the Monotron and record this back into Logic, however I have a problem.
    The audio I want to send out of Logic is routed to outputs '1 & 2' on my Edirol UA-25 interface.
    I take a mono output from one of these outputs on the rear of the interface, and feed this into the Monotron headphone socket.
    The issue is that when the sound is fed back into Logic, I can't hear the filtering effects because it is drowned out by the audio track I am sending out.
    How can I mute the sound of the outputted audio so that I can only hear the subtleties of the filtering effect in Logic.
    Can anyone explain a workaround for this, or is there no solution as the audio always need to be audible to in order leave Logic, or else no sound would be sent.
    Any advice welcome!
    Cheers,
    Mr Rock

    Hi Dat Stream Studio,
    This sounds very promising!
    Can you please confirm when in 'Audio Midi Setup', do I go to 'Audio Devices'.
    If I select 'Audio Devices' then I have two setting- 'Default Output' and 'System Outputs'.
    At present both are set to 'Edirol'.
    Can you please suggest which ones I need to configure as 'Mac Internal'.
    When this has been set up is all sound outputted through 'Mac internal' audio, and do I connect a lead from the iMac headphone socket into the Monotron?
    To get sound back into Logic, should I connect the Monotron into say Input 1 on the Edirol, and then set up an audio track with the 'I/O' plug in set to audio 'Input 1 (and leave the 'output' blank)?
    I look forward to your response.
    Cheers,
    Mr Rock

  • Macbook Pro Retina Display hdmi sound out.

    Hi everyone,
    Does the MBP Retina have hdmi/sound out?
    When I connected it to my HDTV the image was ok, but there wasn't any sound on my sound system. The only sound was through the mac's speaker's.
    Is there any way to solve this problem?

    Go into the Sound Option in Sys Prefs and select the HDMI as the output source.

  • No sound out

    ~ Hello, I bouhgt my Sound Blaster X-Fi?Xtreme Audio Notebook card last week, and I can't put it to work. There is no sound out.
    I updated the drivers as "support" told me..
    I checked the sound options, I gave "priority" choosing?the sound card in options of Windows Vista 32-bits home premium (or something like that) and I even disable the laptop sound "board" which is onboard and is working badly.
    I have a P7300 - 2.0GHz - 4GB Ram - 256MB dedicated Graphics - 200GB hard dri've.
    I ve introduced the sound card on my pc, waited for the drivers instalation, then I introduced the CD-ROM and installed all those things..
    At the end I was hoping it would work, but nothing.
    I see the sound level on the (sound level options menu) moving up and down when a music is playing, but no sound comes out through the output of the X-Fi card to my speakers. If I order the sound to come out to the pc speakers (using?the creative software)?it works, but again my speakers are damage..
    Does anybody has an idea how to solve this? Thank you

    Hi Nonxepic. I've been waiting to see if your question got answered here. I read along above as well and was able to get sound in from instruments thru my firewire interface (Presonus Firestudio) but am wondering if I have to switch back and forth between the selections to hear it back. Have you heard anything, maybe on other discussions? Thanks. Scott

  • No sound out of my Xtremega

    I've bought a brand-new computer not long ago and I'm having problems with my Xtremegamer ever since. I only get sounds out of my speakers at random times, not all the time. Sometimes there is no problem at all with the sound but almost all the time when I turn on my computer I can't hear anything. Everything is normal on Sound Devices and I have the right soundcard in there. My speakers are connected properly as well. I see no problems on my Device Manage and my onboard sound is disabled in the BIOS. When i connect my speakers to the onboard sound there's no problem at all. My drivers are also updated for the Xtremegamer and I've reinstalled it already. Any ideas before I call my manufacturer and replace the card?

    Try plugging the headphone jack in and out of the headphone port half a dozen times or so. There's a tiny switch in there that may be stuck. Is there a red light showing in that port?
    See this thread dealing with the same problem.

  • 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.
