Xtreme Music/ Vista/ Installed but no sou

Hi guys, Im having great trouble with my Xtreme Music card. I have downloaded the vista driver from the Soundblaster site. I made sure any other drivers were uninstalled and disabled the onboard sound. I am using a Creative Digital i/o adapter also. Everything seems to be installed correctly and even the small graphic equalizer next to the Digital i/o icon in Control Panel is showing a signal however there is NO SOUND. Im a bit baffled.
I have read through a great number of the posts here and found similar issues but no solution. Apologies if I am repeating an issue.

Don't know about your problem but i have a different one.
I installed the latest drivers from CL site and then today i was checking the Windows update site when there was a Creative XFi update available. So i got it and it just screwed all the sound up. Made my mic echo and allsorts.
Teach me for trusting MS to supply updates for something that as naff all to do with them realy. Should of know because the last time i did this for my Nvidia 8800 card it did the exact same thing by screwing everything up. Doh! lolMessage Edited by taylorig on 08-20-200706:20 PM

If i upgrade my drivers for my xtreme music card i get no sou

I install the drivers from the supplied CD that came with the XtrememMusic card and it works, get full sound etc. But if i download the latest drivers (audio console, drivers etc) as soon as they are installed I get no sound from from the card! This forces me to uninstall the Creative X-Fi drivers and software completely and go back to the drivers supplied with the card. Why is this happening?

Xfi and vista nothing but sta

My older system broke awhile back and i built a new one, i was using on board HD audio but today i decided to put my old xfi card in my new system. I didnt put it in there in the first place cause drivers sucked and they havent updated them since may 30th so no change there. :P
Anyways my problem is kinda strange. After i install the driver and it asks for reboot i can say no and then play some music and it sounds great highs lows its all good. But after reboot its just static, starts right after the os loads. If i play music or games theres nothing but static and its very loud I almost had a stroke the first time. So some help plz?

Hello ! I am heber from argentina! bs as! federal discrict! Hey guys! you are soo cool! you help me a lot of times! but now i have to write to you becausa i dont get a solid solution to my problem. I search and see that there are some users with the same problem but i dont see a solid answer. The things that i do to try the fix the problem was clean and unninstall the drivers and soft with tools like driver sweeper etc and install the last driver but the result is the same. The only thing i found like a temporal solution when the problem happend its do the the assignement in the panel thx. I want to ask you if there is a solution, a permanent one...plz! becausa i am going to the thx panel like 30 times per day!!! i am going crazy! For more details i copy and edit a message from a user that have the same problem that i , read it plz : Ever since installing the latest drivers, 2.5. or whatever they are, I have sound and 5. support now using an X-Fi Xtreme music with Vista 64 bit (2GB), The card just randomly swaps channels on me. What I mean is, if I start from a fresh boot, I'll get all 5 speakers working in a 5. movie or video game or mp3. Shortly after though, it will swap all the sound to only the back channels and then only teh front channels, and sometimes only the center channel. Most of times it does in pairs , meaning that it wont be like front left and back right, always both back speakers and then both front speakers. Either way, it totally breaks the surround sound and it's rather annoying to hear the sound travel from front to back etc. Is there some way to fix this or anyone know the cause of this I'm about done with Creative and their crappy support for Vista. I might have to go back to on board 5. support if this keeps up. Well if you need something else! please let me know! and if you give me a hand i will be very happy ^^ . Thank you and a big hugh from argentina! PD: PLZ CREATIVE! YOUR SOUNDCARDS ARE THE BEST ! IN MY OPINION! BUT YOUR DRIVERS AND SUPPORT NEEDS MORE ATTENTION! PLZ!!! DO SOMETHING! FOR YOUR BEST!!!!!!

THIS IS A 3RD PARTY METHOD AND OF COURSE THERE IS NO SUPPORT !!!
BEFORE YOU PROCEED PLEASE UNISTALL EVERYTHING AND USE DRIVERSWEEPER OR DRIVERCLEANER TO CLEAN YOUR REGISTRY TOO !!!
Ok here's a new alternative way that new driver will work 100% both XP and Vista (32/64)

Vista + Xtreme Music = no 5.1 sounds in Team Fortres

Ok, finally took the plunge into Vista. All went well until I tried a few games. Main issue is that Team Fortress 2 now only plays sound from the centre channel - the other 4 speakers do not output any other sound. It's a clean install only 3 days ago, latest drivers for everything (as of 2 days ago), TF2 set to output to 5. speakers, Xtreme Music set to game mode with 5. speakers. No dice. Other sys specs:680i moboX-Fi XtremeMusic8800GTX680i SLI mobo2 x WD Raptor HD in RAID 0 mode2GB DDR800Logitech 5. speakers Any ideas

It used to work, I think Valve broke it in their 0/3 update. This was on their list of fixes:
"Fixed problems with 3d sound in surround mode for some Audigy X-Fi users."
There is a workaround for now. Enter the console and execute the following commands:
snd_legacy_surround
snd_restart
This doesn't seem to sound as good as it used to, but at least sound comes out of all the speakers. Hopefully Valve gets it fixed soon.

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?

Xi-Fi Xtreme Music and Windows Vista 32 bit driv

I have a lot of problems with Vista driver. There is only one driver and it doesn't work correctly. Sometimes I have very bad noise, the sound skips, and it often has disturbance. When I connect the integrated sound card there are no problems. But I didn't give 00 $ for noise and to use intergrated soundMessage Edited by Botev92 on 05-29-20070:4 AM

Well to give Creative their due even if they took their time there are new drivers out for the X-Fi Xtreme Music and Vista and they work just fine. You can even select the different modes (entertainment, Game or Audio Creation) from within the Audio Console menu. Link:http://us.creative.com/support/downl...type=0&x=3&y=9

DD/DTS decoder on X-Fi Xtreme Music and Vista x64

Running X-Fi Xtreme Music in Windows Vista Business 64 Bit, connected to 7. speakers (analog, no external decoder).
The most recent driver 2_8_0008 enabled the decoder tab in the soundblaster control panel. So I switched to internal decoder. Played a DVD in PowerDVD, setting output to S/PDIF. Everything like I did in Windows XP, but no sound in Vista. Help please!

The rest of the system is 8800GTX, Corsair 580w PSU, Intel Core 2 Duo 4300 @ .8GHz.
As I said I have tried pretty much everything I can think of, I bought the card brand new from eBuyer. Basically am i missing some files somewhere that I should delete before attempting a re-installation of the drivers?
Thanks for the reply CLKillerWanted.

BioShock 1.1 + EAX + Vista 64bit + X-Fi Xtreme Music = no

I've updated BioShock to v. and EAX option is completely greyed out (disabled). It's suppose to do like this when no Creative hardware is present. But X-Fi XM is there for sure and EAX option should be selectable. I've also tried ALchemy but it doesn't change anything. EAX option is still greyed out.
My system:
2.8.0000 BETA drivers
Vista Home Premium 64bit
X-Fi Xtreme Music (Retail)
6 GB of RAM (other hardware is not important i think except RAM capacity which seems to be problematic all the time)
I want EAX option to work in BioShock!

I'm well aware that i'm basically screwed if i cannot select the modes (meaning it's basically games fault, if it's not able to properly detect whether i have EAX/OpenAL capable card or not).
Also, since when Xtreme Music isn't a full featured X-Fi card? Rebadged Audigy? Where were you living for the past 5 years huh?
Only X-Fi card thats not really X-Fi is Xtreme Audio. And i'm 5000% sure i have the Xtreme Music version (i even changed it for Retail version because reseller sold me Dell OEM card at first). I'm in the hardware stuff anyway so i'm very sure it's the right one.
I've also downgraded drivers back to 2.5.0006 without any change (yes i used setup.exe and erased all shared files and later used Guru3D Driver Sweeper).
It's funny though that out of BioShock's milions of copies sold there are only 2 guys complaining about this? Thats super funny.
Looks like ppl use integrated crappy audio chips, they don't care or know about EAX or they haven't even updated the game to v..
Yey...

Assuming you are not manually managing your music, verify the following:
You are using the latest version of iTunes
On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
When everything looks correct, sync your phone.

Trying to install Acrobat on a Vista laptop, but can't find the installation icon in the Adobe Application Manager

Hi, trying to get Acrobat installed on my Vista laptop but can't seem to find an icon for it in the Adobe Application manager. I have a CC license and it installs fine on my Win7 but can't seem to figure out how to install it on my Vista laptop. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Normally if something does not appear in the download options it means the machine does not meet the tech specs for the product. In this case, Vista is not in the tech specs for Acrobat Pro XI if that is what you are trying to install. For whatever reason it skips from XP to Windows 7.

Make sure your user account has full administrative permissions. Then, at this stage of the game, I would take the following steps:
- Re-create the Preferences file following these instructions:
Re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause.
Note: When you use this solution, Photoshop Elements will create a new preferences file and you will lose custom settings associated with your current preferences file. However, the file you rename in step 2 is your original preferences file. If you determine that the preferences file is not causing the problem, then you can restore your custom settings by undoing the instructions below.
To re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences file:
Quit Photoshop Elements.
Locate the Adobe Photoshop Elements preferences files. In Photoshop Elements 5.0, there are two preferences files, one for Organizer and one for Editor:
Users\[ user ]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Organizer\psa.prf
Users\[ user ]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Editor\Photoshop Elements 5 Prefs.psp
Rename the extension for the files (for example, to psa.old).
Start Photoshop Elements. Photoshop Elements creates a new preferences file.
I doubt that this will fix your problem, however, it is always the first thing to try. If it does not, take these steps:
- Uninstall Photoshop Elements
- Run the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301)
- Reinstall Elements
- Reinstall the 5.0.2 patch
Good luck,
Juergen
