Xtreme Audio Working on Vista 64-

I got the XTreme Audio working on Vista 64-bit by using the XP-Pro 64-bit drivers. I'm sure creative wouldn't recommend this, but it works perfect. No bugs.

Didn't work for me
Mine's an X-Fi Audio - went through your tips by the letter, and the card doesn't show up in playback devices...
The 32-bit beta driver (unsurprisingly) didn't even instal - I only tried in desperation. Gah.
Hooray for dual-boot though eh?
cheers anyway!Message Edited by brainthing on 02-08-20070:30 PM

  • Creative Labs sent me the email announcing that the X-Fi Xtreme Audio works withVista!

    Why settle for basic, built-in sound? The ad asks.Wow look at all the specs...Speaker and Headphone connections for stereo to 7.Line In / Microphone In / Digital Out / Digital I/O / Auxiliary Line level Input?Wait a minute...this is the card I already have that I can only get drivers that makes me settle for basic sound. Better yet... I pulled it out and went back to my on board soudcard so I could get most the stuff that I am supposed to have with the X-Fi. This is what they offer for drivers for this card...Provides basic audio support and control options for sampling rate and speakers only. Looks to me that Creative is trying to dupe the public into buying products that is currently inferior.

    Well, this is the newest driver that pulls up from?the model number of the one in the ad. Doesn't look certified to me and it only supplies basic functionality. Very misleading ad.

  • Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio (PCI-Express) + Vista 32bit an media pla

    Hi folks,Maybe someone here can help me with this issue, I recently bought a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7. Sound Card - OEM (PCI-Express), it arri'ved with the cd with software and drivers on it and i installed it into my vista 32bit without any problems.On rebooting my sound was working normally and as far as i could tell all was great untill that is i went to play some mp3 using windows media player, wmp kept telling me it couldnt play the file type then i tried to play a wma file an got the same thing, basically almost all audio types will no longer play in wmp. I rolled back the driver to use the microsoft driver (high defination audio device) and everything is playing in media player again.Only now i cant use the software suppiled with the card. Anyone have any idea how to use the creative driver and get wmp to play properly thanks in advance.
    (in addition) after some messing around with various settings i discovered that this seems to be caused by the sb enhancements, when i disable them in speaker properties wmp plays as it should, althought i am rather disappointed that i have to disable the features on the card inorder to get it to work properly.

    Hi Orion,
    You might want to get in touch with support to enquire about the CD.

  • 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.

  • X-Fi Xtreme Audio no bass on 5.1 surround under vista 64??

    Hi there I'm not sure if this question has been asked before or not but here I go.
    Is it possible to get the subwoofer on my 5. setup to work when playing music? I have an X-Fi Xtreme Audio card and I'm using Windows Vista 64bit. I downloaded the latest drivers.
    When I play music only the front speakers work, there is no sound from the other speakers or the subwoofer. How do I get this to work?
    I ran the tests to make sure all the speakers and the subwoofer are connected properly? (Speakers section of the X-fi menu) and they all seem to work. I have read somewhere that music is stereo and therefore wont work on the rear speakers but how do I get the subwoofer to work?
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi thanks, now all the speakers work! But still no subwoofer. I have tried the bass redirection but no luck?
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks?
    Luke
    This is a known bug that Creative still did not fix.
    For the Bass Redirection to work, the speakers must be small (not full range).
    My package fixes the issue.

  • Need help with PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio - Vista

    Hi, bought this card pci exprss x-fi xtreme audio and installed, had a lot of problems in vista 64. Using a logitech z5500 5. soundsystem and first tried using the optical spdif to get DTS etc working but to no joy... Started using the 3.5 kables but nothing there either. And I cant find options to set the treble and base? the sound is really medioker as it is now.
    Using the latest drivers for the card issued in may 08, latest alchemy and console files. what to do?
    Dave?

    To Collipa and Dudeface:
    If you installed the support pack for the card but still have driver problems, have you used windowsudpate under Windows 7? Creative submitted a basic driver for the card that shows up in driver options under Windows Update. If you can let Windows Update install that driver, then you can update AFTER rebooting with the new one.
    If that windowsupdate did not work, try this:
    Download the newest driver for your card. Then, if you already have winace, winzip, winrar or even the free 7Zip, then you can right click that Creative executable file and then choose to........extract to......and do so to a temporary folder on your desktop or say, c:\Creative driver.
    Then go to device manager and sound video and game controllers, and to your problem sound card, click driver, and update driver and browse my computer for software, and "let me pick"? and "have disk" and then browse to.......
    C:\Creative driver\Install\wdm
    Whereever you downlaoded the file to, the important directory is the INSTALL\WDM and choose OK and it should show Creative X-FI. Let it copy files, and it does take awhile, and then reboot and see if your sound card works.
    here is the newest driver for your card:

  • X-Fi Audio - Subwoofer NOT working in Vista 32-bit Ultimate!

    <X-Fi Audio - Subwoofer NOT working in Vista 32-bit Ultimate!I I have WIndows Vista 32-bit Ultimate and Sound Blaster X-Fi Audio installed and with the factory drivers (I tried another set earlier and they did not work, so I reinstalled the original drivers which worked, at least partially). Until now I only listened to music using my headphones, but I tried today to plug-in my 5. Genius system (50W RMS) and everything works fine EXCEPT the subwoofer does not produce any sound at all!! The ONLY way to make it work is go to Control Panel -> Sound -> Speakers -> press Configure and then click the Test button in the dialog that appears (or click the subwoofer icon to make it produce a very nice bass sound - which I absolutely love, but it's the only way to make my subwoofer work!!!). Please guys, help me find out what the problem is. All help is much appreciated. Thank you!

    Thank you my friend,I have done as you have mentioned (made sure the DLL did not stay there when I rebooted before I installed your version), and now I have the version which you have built. However, I am still unable to hear the subwoofer I am so sad... even my default on-board card supports the 5. just great, and I love the sound of that, but I was hoping for something better from Creative - instead, all I got was a soundcard I can only use with my headphones at the moment because of a faulty driver...
    Did you enable Bass Redirection?
    Run Console Launcher, click on Speakers and Headphone -> choose 5. Speakers.
    Then click on Bass (Bass Management) and enable Bass Redirection.

  • X-fi Xtreme Audio doesn't work in Windows 7 64 bit

    Hello everyone,
    I know this is a known issue and I've found many topics on this, but still I can't find any solution and I hope you can help.
    I've a Creative X-fi Xtreme Audio that was working perfectly under Windows XP SP3 but then I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit and the sound coming out from my speakers is awful. I've installed the latest driver from creative home site, I've updated the OS via "microsoft Update", I've tried many suggestions I've found on the web to solve this, like phisically change the PCI slot of the sound card, or reduce the ram ammount via msconfig but it didn't work. I've tried some custom driver either, the support pack 2.7 by Daniel?K. but nothing... I'm still at the starting point.
    What should I do?
    This is my actual configuration:
    OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Premium SP v 6..760
    CPU: AMD Athlon 64x2 6000+
    MB: Asus M3N78 SE (with the latest bios version 002)
    Ram: 4gb
    Video: nVidia GeForce GT 220

    I use CS4 on a Windows 7 64-bit computer.
    I noticed that none of the extensions I installed with the Extension Manager don't appear at all in any of the CS4 programs.
    Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work or how to solve this problem?
    Try posting to the Extension Manager forum:

  • [X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI] Bass Boost vs Vista 64

    Hardware: X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI
    Problem: BassBoost not working after 2nd reboot.
    1) Installed drivers
    2) System rebooted
    3) BassBoost works
    4) System rebooted
    5) BassBoost NOT WORKING!
    ... I press "reset to defaults" -> BassBoost can work again until I reboot the system...

    Thank you very much for this fix Daniel. It works great now and has removed my frustration of having to reset my settings everytime I rebooted. It might seem like a small issue to some people, but I was ready to go out and buy a new sound card because I was getting tired of having to setup my sound all the time. Thanks again,Wookie

  • SB X-fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E Not working correctly help please

    Hi i have a SB X-fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E card on my pc , i have currently installed windows 7 and for months now i am trying to make the card work .. I have a poor sound especially when there is bass, the card is not detected by windows 7, its detected as a high definition audio device , when i plug my mic is not found..and i cant use the creative applications because is says its not supported or i have no creative poroducts on my pc ... I have tried all the latest drivers and stil have the same problem.. HELP PLEASE !!

    First, uninstall all creative drivers, console, from add/remove. Restart computer install: . X-Fi Xtreme Audio Series Driver .04.0000 from creative website. 2.X-Fi Xtreme Audio Pack .03.0002 from creative website. 3. install Creative Console from here: http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/PAX-Console-Launcher-V-0/td-p/549970 * PAX Console, Modded Original Console, but newer then Creative) or this creative console: CSL_PCAPP_LB_2_6_09.exe ( it creative original console) With this console you will have bass, treble, etc, BUT you need to open ConsoLCu.exe from Program Files/Creative/Console Launcher. ConsoLCu.exe have all the options you need. Creative forget about thier sound board, thier drivers, bass, treble, etc, about customers. If you install thier drivers from their website you will not have BASS, and also an crappy sound. You need to install Creative Console from google, or from http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/PAX-Console-Launcher-V-0/td-p/549970 to have bass, crystalizer, etc. I also have Creative Audio PCI-e board..... crappy chipset, just like Sb Li've 24 biti PCI.

  • Vista 64 - X-fi Xtreme Audio and Fatal1ty headset problem

    I bought a Xtreme Audio soundcard today, and found a problem.
    When I connect my headset with the front connection on my PC -> no problem

    To fix it, I have to disconnect my headset

  • X-Fi xtreme audio and vista 32bit - bass redirect

    hi,
    i have
    -x-fi extreme audio bulk (PCI)
    -vista 32bit
    -Teufeln Concept E? 5. surround set (connected via analog)
    i can install the latest drivers and audio console, but the graphical console
    ("C:\Program Files\Creative\Sound Blaster X-Fi\Console Launcher\ConsoLCu.exe")
    will fail to start with a message saying the device is not supported.
    the audio console which comes with the driver
    ("C:\Program Files\Creative\AudioCS\CTAudCS.exe")
    does work but lacks one important function, the bass redirection (crossover frequency).
    is there anyway to set this option or is there a driver combination for my hardware allowing me to launch the graphical audio console (where i know u can set this option)?
    thx in advance

    Do you have original CD from your bulk card (SB0790 oem bulk)? My is somewhere lost and there is no chance to install full packet of ap
    ps.
    Two weeks of searching any user, what can help me - without luck... With basic driver, as you wrote, there?s no function of bass redirection. Is Creative lazy or crazy?
