    New X-FI Sound Card

    I recieved a new sound card for christmas. A Creative X-FI Extreme music. I uninstalled the old sound card and the drivers. I installed the new sound card and drivers off creatives website. Now i rebooted and when i turn on teamspeak i get an error. Also an another error comes up asking for something to do with WDM? I need help! Anyone one who helps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. http://img370.imageshack.us/img370/2586/untitled5yq.jpg

      I've had this problem before but with a 2ZS card. I forget why, but try uninstalling TS and reinstalling it. I think it has something to do with the codecs, but don't hold me to it.

            I was also lucky enough to recieve a Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music for Christmas, I've set it up and it works wonderfully :). However I was interested to see that in the Audio options I have a choice of selecting between running sound in Hardware mode or X-Fi mode, both with ultra high settings. I have tried both of these and can't really notice a difference in quality between the 2. Should there be a difference?

              Oh yeah....I hear a huge difference.

              What sort of speakers or headphones are you using?

              If you're playing through crap speakers or headphones, you're missing out.

                When i go to select audio console it doesnt load. Nothing appears. I used the cd that came with the sound card. Any ideas.

                  There is a new audio console that was released with the latest driver set.

                        I use creative HS-600 headphones. Surely they are good enough to appreciate the effects? maybe I need to go back and test the 2 modes again :P

                        EDIT - Ok, after testing both modes back-to-back I have noticed that the X-Fi mode does sound better, but I also noticed that when using that mode I suffer from more fps drops and more sluggish play. The change isn't considerable but its definatly noticable. Is there any reason for this?

                          Are you using the latest X-Fi drivers from Creative's site?

                              I disable any and all unnecessary processes and services.

                              For this one, open regedit and go to the following key:
                              HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

                              You'll see it there. You can delete it if you wish.
