Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium driver 2.40.0016 WHQL

[Sora]

the Quartet DSP and Emu20k2 (just renamed to CA20k2 like the Titanium HD) are the same between both, there is nothing creative could do with the driver package that would break 44.1khz vs 48, anything you heard on the creative forums was gossip and i know factually that a lot of information posted there was blatant nonsense, particularly by a certain moderator.....

 

[jackbluray]

I was asking about these drivers specifically (2.40.0016/0018) because the previous drivers, including daniel_k and official, never fixed it or blacklisted the samplerates from being selected or enumerated by applications on the OEM cards. It still causes freezes.

Normal because daniel K has never made any driver. The driver in daniel K pack is each time the same driver as creative.

While this is true, it's the custom configuration of said drivers that makes them special and preferred. This is also why I think the card in question has a hardware problem. I have the same card in one of my personal PC's, without the issue described.

Well after downloading and installing the new driver from creative I'm left with a partially working device none of the apps work they all complain there's no device even when I pick the correct device it still throws the same error and around and around it goes where it stops nobody knows

Creative Audio Control Panel

Creative Console Launcher pt1

Creative Console Launcher pt2

and around and around it goes

without those Dolby Digital doesn't work so anything with a DD5.1 audio track sounds like crap and my amp doesn't pick up that it's DD and auto swap to to DD 5.1 output

Reinstall any of these applications and all of them will work again, one of the shared components got overwritten with an old/incompatible version.

a package in the format of the install cd with all current software and the new driver is available here https://mega.nz/#!BEtkWKDb!FFZ8M-UY0fsan_qQsexNuZls1nKExJkfetEEPXyeupo

all sub packages are configured to be individually installable via placement of setup related cabinet and support files.

Can't if you want hardware EAX

 

[er557]

soundblaster z eax is supported, much better sounding than previous cards hardware implemented one. you mean of course via alchemy? that too is a rare feature nowadays

I used Titanium HD and yes it is older driver, but outdated? Nah. There are no new games that going to used its feature, and the drivers works fine in newer Windows. Its weird why Creative have separate drivers for it even though its using the same DSP, but the drivers works as intended.

"X-FI Titanium HD" card (SB1270) uses a different driver than the "non-HD" Titanium X-FI cards (SB088x)

possible new driver for Titanium HD on Reddit (which makes it work on win10 v1903)
Titanium HD Driver fix for Windows 10 v1903

X-FI Titanium HD drivers for 1903 : when?

>"X-FI Titanium HD" card (SB1270) uses a different driver than the "non-HD" Titanium X-FI cards (SB088x)

it doesn't, the driver binaries don't have any difference in feature sets compared to the non hd, it all comes down to minor differencing in the Inf, hence why the hd device work with danielk's repacks.

new beta driver for other X-FI cards
Xfi 20k1 Drivers for Windows 1903 (BETA)

should also work along danielk's packs

So creative ditched their own forums in favor of reddit? Pretty lame move, a lot of history just threw to the bin.

Well, anyway, i will try this driver.

Or i will not as setup shows to me message about unsupported hardware but i have creative x-fi titanium and windows 10 1903.

 

[utilizedamplitude]

I must have missed it somewhere but what is the problem these drivers are meant to fix?

Both my card works fine in windows 10.

Never mind I googled it and see I'm on Windows build 1803 which is unaffected by the issue. Apparently on build 1903 the speakers are not detected.

Creative's forum got hacked and instead of doing an audit and updating their systems they dumped it.

I have a reddit post open atm asking if they plan to fix the OpenAL issues they introduced to titanium cards with the 2.40 packages.

there's also a new driver for X-FI XtremeMusic & other X-FI cards not related to X-FI Titanium - (v2.30.0012) posted 6/25 on Creative's web site
X-Fi XtremeMusic

 

[duckson]

Did this new driver helped u guys? Mine still doesnt work. My card is elite pro if that matters. I am still looking for a solution..

 

[spectatorx]

Does your card doesn't work at all? Titanium here and this card has always been working, on all OSes with all drivers for this card at at least basic level which to me is working 5.1 analogue audio.

 

[duckson]

Forgot to add, it does play sound and shows its Creative X-FI etc in sound setting, but when i open Creative Audio Control Panel or any other Creative program, it says the usual "not supported not found."

 

[spectatorx]

Have you tried to reinstall the driver? Seems like it didn't install and that's why these give such error. Try clean install.
