Yeah, when or if we get the drivers working, then we'll do the mod.. If the drivers don't work right, I'll turn in the b1tch...

all right guys here is one for ya... I just bought the Xtreme Music card... Well I am using Vista x86 and for some reason the only thing I can run is the Audio Creation Mode... When I check the gamer one and the Entertainment mode, it says that I don't have the drivers for it.. So is there a place to go to... I went to creative and I'm lost on what to download really... I thank you guys for any help..

Well, if you have the most recent hardware driver, download the Console Launcher from Creative and see if that works. When you initially install the X-Fi drivers, you're given a choice as to what mode you want as default, but if you didn't install the console launcher, it's very difficult to switch between them.

I have a extreme pain in the arse,i mean music too.I'm considering taking it out and trying my onboard.I dont even try and switch to game mode,eax dont work anyway so whats the point.

As far as i'm concerned,if your on xp use the x-fi,if your on vista,use onboard.The drivers for the x-fi still suck bawls even after all this time.

If i take it out,i'm gonna smash the piece of crap with a hammer in the back garden.

biggest reason why I still haven't gone over to Vista. If Creative ever get their Vista drivers stable, reliable and strong . . . I might think about it. But in the meantime, screw MS.

As far as i'm concerned,if your using vista DO NOT buy a x-fi.

The thing is,i DO NOT blame creative at all,ms royally screwed creative with the x-fi.Just after the x-fi came out,ms released vista and completely rewrote how the sound works on windows.Which did not do creative or the x-fi any favours at all.

yea, the drivers on the disc caused the system to hang when installing, so we downloaded the latest drivers off of creative's site, that's what he's running now.

Cold Storm · Feb 1, 2008

Here is what it says every time I try and change the Console Launcher..
that nothing is there for it...

sneekypeet · Feb 1, 2008

Would that be a Razor-1911 file I see on your desktop??????

Cold Storm · Feb 1, 2008

whats that??? don't know what your talking about... its a picture... i promise!

. . . .

alright, so you installed the drivers . . . but, did you install the Audio Console launcher? It's seperate software from the X-Fi audio drivers. The drivers will let you change mode, which can be done from within the X-Fi Control Panel, but you need the audio console software to be able to open the GUI.

if you downloaded the drivers from Creative's website, the software isn't bundled with their update driver packages.

Cold Storm · Feb 1, 2008

so I need to go and use the cd to put in that driver? and yea, I used the updated drivers from the website. Like Rm said, it hard freeze on me when i got to 84%.

Deleted member 24505 · Feb 1, 2008

Take the x-fi out,and use it for scraping up cat shit.

imperialreign · Feb 1, 2008

Prob just a Vista thang.

Naw, you don't need the CD for the console launcher. Follow the link I posted a few posts back, you should be able to dl it from Creative.

Cold Storm · Feb 1, 2008

still don't know what your talking about with crysis... pm me and help! lol.. thanks for the advice also

Deleted member 24505 · Feb 1, 2008

It is just a vista thing.

The x-fi works a treat on xp.

I'm sorry for my comments,i'm just pissed that i spent £60 on the card and its poo on vista,specially as i bought vista so it seems a waste of the money i paid for vista to go back to xp.

Cold Storm · Feb 1, 2008

Hey tigger, it happens.. I'm in the same boat as you are.. So now I'm just needing to find if this works for me, or go back to staples and throw it at them like i did my mp3 player.. lol

OK sorry fellas I will stop hyjacking now....continue on!

Deleted member 24505 · Feb 1, 2008

I'm gonna take it out tonight and try my onboard,which has a digital out which i can connect to my av amp.I'm not sure if the onboard does 5.1 from the digi out or not.The x-fi only does 2.1 from the digi out,and then you have to pay another £15 for the digital adapter,which hangs off the back of the card and looks pap.

s'all good man, we understand your pain

I highly doubt MS will do anything to address the issue with any future SP for Vista, though - hopefully Creative will be able to make their work-around drivers as near perfect as possible. They haven't really focused at all on their XP drivers since Vista's release, but then again, the cards are solid on XP.

Hopefully, MS will learn from this venture, and will give this kernel design some second thoughts before their next OS.

Cold Storm · Feb 2, 2008

Well i'm going to do the same tigger! froze on me then when i installed it, it says there is no such thing.. wtf?? back to the drawing board!

what?!?! i don't even see a picture of my desktop... !?!? what are you looking at? your not over my shoulder are you?? and if so... what does my desktop look like?!?!

Cold Storm · Feb 2, 2008

all right.. the audio creation mode now works right, but I don't have any game or entertainment mode... well off to my tv tuner.. enough working on the sound card tonight.. lol

imperialreign · Feb 2, 2008

alright, then - try going to Start>Programs>All Programs>Creative>Sound Blaster X-Fi

do you have an application listing as "Creative Volume Panel," and "Creative Mode Switcher?"

If so - open Creative Volume Panel. It should place an icon into the System Tray. R-click on that icon, and make sure that 'Load Volume Icon at Startup' is selected. Double click on that icon, and it should go ahead and bring up the current mode console.

Once the Audio Creation Mode console is open on your desktop, l-click on the button in the lower left hand corner with "Mode" written beside it. If the Creative Mode Switcher is installed, your current console will close out and change to a window that allows you to switch between modes.

The other way to change modes, if you have the Volume Panel icon in the System tray; is to r-click on the icon, go to "Switch Mode" and choose from there. Then just double click the volume icon to bring that console up.

If you don't have these applications installed - you'll have to use the installation CD. Once it's loaded up and all, use "Custom" install settings, and de-select the audio drivers (you already have them installed), and check off whatever else you want installed.

Hopefully, there might not be a problem if it's not trying to install the hardware drivers from the CD.

Cold Storm · Feb 2, 2008

It works now that way... but if I go and click on the "Creative Mode Switcher" it gives me an error... stating its not installed... so now everything is a go... Sweetness! thanks Imperialreign! now just have to make all the fuzzy's go away on my tv tuner and i'm hooked up!
