Xtreme music not recogni

I've done everything to make this card work.
Uninstalled all sound drivers. Used Drier cleaner. Used CCleaner. Cleared anything to do with Creative from everywhere. Disabled onboard sound in the bios. Restarted. Windows reports Multimedia Audio COntroller but does not recognise it as an X-fi. If I install the drivers when I try to start it it then tells me the device is not present. This is happening on both my Windows XP pro x86 (32bit) and XP Pro x64 (64bit). I've spent hours and hours trawling through forums and forums and posts and posts but I can't find a solution. Perhaps there isn't one?
I'm running Xp pro and xp64 dual boot
AMD64 3200
Nvidia Geforce 7600gt
Nforce 4 chipset on (oh nooooo) and here's the bios/chipset info:
Program: eSupport.com BIOS Agent Version 3.6

I've not updated the bios yet, I'm not sure about how to go about this - can't find anything that looks likely for my biostar mobo.
Bascially, if anyone at all can help me with this I'd very much appreciate it. It looks like loads of people have had issues with this sort of thing. Can anyone help at all? I'm getting quite desperate (and fed up with this whole creative thing)

OK BRILLIANT!
I've just flashed the BIOS to the latest version - at a cost to both my wallet and my nerves (I can't really afford to trash my PC right now - when can I really?).
Great advice there from creative. Now I get the multiple instances of "new hardware found" problem. So, rather than getting any better it now seems to be getting worse. It looks to me like this problem has been on the go for over a year now and so it's quite incredible that it hasn't been fixed - even more incredible that these cards are still being sold without any warning of what to expect.
Is there anything at all that I can do? Obviously the bios update did nothing to help my situation. Will this card ever work? Can any one, anyone at all, help me with this?
Please ....

  • X-FI Xtreme Music not detected by Win

    My Creative X-FI Xtreme Music is not detected by Windows XP with SP2.
    what I have tried:
    ) connected the X-FI to each of the 3 PCI slots
    2) installed latest nForce and VGA drivers
    3) installed latest BIOS (version 04)
    4) uncompressed the SB driver exe file and executed SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_09_000\Src\Drivers\setup.exe directly
    The soundcard works fine on a PC with an old ASUS A7V-266 motherboard! Why is that?
    system specs:
    ASUS A8N-SLI
    athlon 64 3000+
    evga 7600GT
    RAM 52 MB

    I had a similar problem that my ASUS A8N-VM CSM board didn't detect my X-FI card properly and the driver setup ended with a blue screen / reboot of my machine.
    A lot of boards with NVidia chipsets of the 4series seems to have that problem.
    With my ASUS A8N-VM CSM I found a solution: updated BIOS to beta version 002 and disabled the onboard IEEE394 (firewire) interface in the BIOS setup. After that I installed the X-FI without any further problems and it's now running very well.

  • I have an Xfi Xtreme Music (not audio), where are the drive

    I can't install any Vista drivers, except for older XP drivers.
    Where are the drivers for my sound card?

    On the driver downlad page, select soundblaster in the first box, then X-fi in the second, and you should see the Xtreme Music in the list. I found it by accident.Scott
    No the driver were actually removed from the server yesterday. They are back today with a new release date (5march), but are actually the same drivers? Go figure?

  • Playlist is Music Not Recognized in Apple TV

    Hello all,
    At least with iTune 9.0, there is a built-in Podcasts, Music, etc. playlists. These don't seem to be recognized on the Apple TV (even with 3.0). Can someone else confirm this behavior? It seems the iPhone understands it but not Apple TV.
    John

    Think I've managed to recreate something like your issue.
    Firstly I don't think it's just smart playlists, I think this might simply be a coincidence for you.
    The devices list seems to play by a new set of rules under v 3.0, I'm not sure I fully understand the new rules just yet, but this is what I seem to see at the moment.
    Only synced items appear in the device list
    Playlists that don't have anything in them aren't synced
    Playlists that have content in them from a content type that doesn't support playlists on the tv aren't shown under the device list.
    Any playlist that contains mixed content type of which some content is of the type that doesn't support playlists on the tv causes the exclamation mark in the device list.

  • Music not recognized from old PC to new, what did i do wrong.

    So i just got a new PC.  I saved my entire Itunes file on an external hardrive.  The music all transfers to the new PC and i loaded it into the newest Itunes.  I authorized the new computer through Itunes and got all artwork.  Now i cannot play songs or transfer music to my i-pod.  I had to rboot the Ipod. so now i have an empty Ipod and a bunch of Music I cannot play.  I've connested my Iphone and it seems to recognize it, but I'm afraid to connest it again until i trust the itunes to work.  When I try to play a song it say cannot locate the original/
    What did i do wrong?  What can I do?  I still have the old tower available to retreive Itunes
    Thanks for any advice
    MJ

    The index page copied from the template is now reading the css.  I did nothing other than shut down DW and open it again.  Maybe it just takes a while for the process to complete.  Am now creating more pages that are also not reading css.  Will do the same and see if it all connects.

  • Dead battery = No music, not recognized?

    My battery died this afternoon, and when I plugged it back in, two things were different. Now iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod, and it apparently no longer has any pictures, video, or music on it. Odd?
    Edit: and the iPod still shows that it's about 3/4 full despite not having any media.

    My new Classic 160gb does the same thing. You have to restore it and reload. A pain in the ..... but ever since version 9 iTunes came out is screws up my ipod half the time. So often that I am afraid to sync it now.

    Is this music purchased back in DRM days? I don't actually have any iTunes music so I can't test with my iTunes 7.5, but I know that without iTunes 10 you cannot even connect to the store anymore.  I wouldn't think that would require an active connection to the store all the time, otherwise how could you play music on a computer in the middle of nowhere?  Did you do something to trigger iTunes suddenly wanting to connect and check on machine authorization?

  • ITunes is not recognizing my iPod so I cannot sync my music, but I can use home sharing and it will work... How do I make iTunes recognize my iPod touch?

    I've had my iPod touch for over a year now, and I haven't used it or iTunes in a while. I updated iOS on my iPod and updated to the newest version of iTunes earlier. Now that I have put some new music in my music library (not from iTunes), iTunes will not recognize my iPod, but if I turn on Home Sharing, it will sync to my iPod... Which would be fine, but I have to have Wi-Fi all the time for that to work, and sometimes I don't have Wi-Fi when I leave my house. So how do I make iTune recognize my iPod?

  • IPod classic - iPod and iTunes is not recognizing music files

    Here's the problem I am having:
    iPod is saying there is "no music" on the iPod. Yet, when you view the settings and files it shows there to be 70GB worth of data - that is how much music I have. iTunes is also not recognizing iPod either. I also get an error stating:
    "iTunes cannot read the contents of __ iPod. Go to the summary tab in iPod preferences and click RESTORE to restore this iPod to it's factory settings". It's also not reading anything from the Music database.
    This is the 2nd time I've had this error in the past two months. It happened in August - I noticed it had happened as I disconnected my iPod from my computer. The first time was when I tried to eject from iTunes. It said the files were currently in use by another program (I had nothing running, what program?), so I "safely removed" as I would a USB device. The 2nd time happened similarly, though not before iTunes locked up totally and would not let me eject from there. The last time I had this problem, I also removed each file/folder manually from iPod control, to hard drive, and restored iPod, and put them back on iPod. However, this time I am not so fortunate as it gives me an error when I attempt to copy stating either the "parameter is incorrect", or "cyclic redundancy error". Some of these files that are giving me this error at some point during the process have been accessible and working fine, and other times they are not, as I successfully copied five folders worth of data without error, then after I started getting errors with the next folders, attempted to copy one of the same folders into a different directory, which THEN gave me an error. I'm not sure what's going on here, but this is proving to be quite the pain and never experienced these problems with my 60GB iPod, which I did not take nearly as good of care as I have this one - and is still working with all of my original music on it.
    My question is how do I solve any of these errors, and what would be the best course of action to take? I have a 160 GB Classic iPod. Warranty expired (probably) September, and purchased from Circuit City.
    *I DO NOT wish to "Restore" unless absolutely necessary as I have 18,000 songs on my iPod. Restoring this would be cumbersome, and I keep my music on my iPod as I do NOT have the hard drive space to store it with*

  • My ipod is not recognized by my itunes and tells me to uninstall itunes and reinstall. will this erase all of my music?

    Hi braddyloopy,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you need to uninstall and reinstall iTunes,  your music files should not be erased or affected in any way. It is always a good idea to back up your data before making any changes to your computer, though.
    If you'd like to locate your music, this article explains how to find the files:

  • Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic.  What is the fix?

    Songs in music library downloaded from a CD and synced to my old IPOD are not recognized by my new IPOD classic.  What is the fix?

    If you are using automatic syncing with your old iPod, select that iPod in iTunes and go to its Music tab (next to Summary).  Note how this Music tab is set up.  Maybe you can do a screen shot.
    Now, select the new iPod in iTunes.  Go to its Music tab, like you did for the old iPod.  Set up the new iPod's Music tab exactly like the old iPod, and Apply the change. 
    The music on your new iPod should now match the old iPod.
