Did you have a look at this imperial?

Its pretty cool,you can force the digital out to dts/ac3 mode.I tried it on my amp and it works great.Its great for watching film,even sounds good on games.

that's pretty interesting . . . using ASIO completely bypasses the drivers and the dolby encoding lock . . . we've known for some time now that all X-Fis have been capable of encoding, it's just the drivers have that feature locked up . . . that's a nice work-around. So, I'm guessing then it uses a generic ASIO driver and not Creative's ASIO . . .




Just a sample from testing the Titanium vs. the Fatal1ty, CPU utilization in DirectSound3D mode + EAX:


X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty Pro



X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro


the Titanium on average requires half the amount of CPU use as the PCI based Fatal1ty - IMO, this shows how well the native PCIE Titanium can capitalize off of the PCIE bandwidth . . . the more information it can move per clock cycle, the less it has to interupt the system BUS.

Although I don't have any software to really prove it, I'd believe this hints to lower audio processing latencies. Although the CA20K2 is practically the same as the CA201K in terms of processing ability, the reduction in system wait times would lend itself to the notion that the APU is now capable of handling the per-clock work load that it was originally desinged to handle.

Hi,

I'm thinking of going optical with my X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series and Logitech Z-5500 using the Creative® Digital I/O Module "FlexiJack".

Has anyone got a similar set up or use the flexijack?

Oh I was going to splash out the $4 on the Dolby Digital Live Pack as well.

Good idea?

NB I'm on Vista 64bit now.

Sorry, but with the Titanium cards, there isn't a 4-pin header for a CD-ROM interconnect.



If you're lucky, some models (SB0888) have a 3-pin HDMI interconnect that will allow you to connect the card to a video adapter - but all this does is allow the Titanium to output S/PDIF to the video card for passthrough to the HDMI connector. Sadly, there aren't that many video cards with a S/PDIF-in header, and even fewer with a 3-pin.

There is 18(20)-pin connector on board X-fi Titanium, i think some of this pin is AUX-IN(CD-IN). May be anybody know about it?

that connector is for connecting the Titanium card to the X-Fi Titanium I/O drive that would sit in a 5.25" bay . . . IIRC, the last 10-pins, though, will interface with an AC97/Azalia connector from your case's front panel.

The other 10/12-pin connector is for a digital connection to the I/O drive.

I know that connector for Titanium I/O drive. But on panel of Titanium I/O drive situated AUX-IN that's why i think that some pin of connector is AUX-IN (CD-IN).

TBH, I'm not 100% certain as to how things are hooked up on the I/O drive . . . I know there are 3 or 4 headers, but I don't have one to verify waht exactly each is for, and I have yet to see any pics of the rear of the drive.

You're right, it's supposed to be aid - I have a bad habit of slipping an 'e' onto the the end of some words :p

hmm Wierd bought a headset a few days ago. Tried using with x fi prelude can't get the mic to work. I have their RC8 driver installed from auzentech's site. When plugging in the usb dongle, I get audio, but mic fails to work. Tried changing in CP to usb audio headset and setting everything to headset in vista Control panel but that doesn't work. Disabled all audio except for x fi prelude and usb audio still get nothing. disable the onboard sound in bios, left the front audio jack option on in bios. Try plugging into front audio jack, same issue. Try the actual sound card and I get nothing. This is also when setting the device back to the x fi prelude. Not sure what the heck I did wrong.

check in WIN audio control panel, under the "recording" tab, that 'line-in' is selected, or 'mic' - it can vary sometimes.

well, I'm not 100% sure on Auzen's drivers, as they're further tweaked than Creative's . . .

but, a lot of times, Creative's control panel doesn't properly synch with WIN control panel. Even though you may set the recording device within the console launcher to 'mic' or 'line-in,' WIN might still have the recording device set to WIN default, or 'digital-in' or otherwise.

well, if it's under warranty, then nothing off your back but the headache of the RMA . . .

still strange, though - do you haev another rig you could test it on?

nah I wish I did, but they have the same 3.5mm jack on both headsets, its just the 1 in question has a USB dongle, that I can just plug in matter of fact I gotta test the other pair with the USB dongle just to be 100% sure.

I don't think it powers it the USB is more like a converter. left an attachment.

that is odd - try using the mic without the USB dongle

The X-fi club eh? I would like to join and add my Elite Pro to the ranks. IMO, the EP is the best thing since sliced bread. It, and my Sennheiser HD 650s produce a flawless sound (well I am sure there are flaws, but none that I can tell.) that is as smooth and sexy as a soaking wet Halle Berry.

Very nice article though; it's nice to see all of the differences in the PCB layouts. Do you have any idea of when you will get material for the modding section?
