Re: X-fi trouble

Go to Creative in the Start Menu > All Programs. Look for Creative Mode Switcher and move the switch to Game Mode. And your all set.

Re: X-fi trouble

Re: X-fi trouble

Hmm. thats odd I have the same exact sound card and I run it at Ultra High no problems.

If you encounter this problem, we recommend that you reinstall your Sound Blaster X-Fi drivers as follows:

1.Download the updated F-Xi series driver from the Creative website

2.Browse to *:\Audio\Drivers on the X-Fi installation CD (where * is your CD/DVD Rom Drive letter).

3.Double-click Setup.exe to run the Creative Driver Update Utility.

4.Under Update Option check the Driver Uninstallation box.

5.Check the Delete all shared Creative audio driver files box.

6.Click OK.

7.Click Yes to the warning that follows.

8.Click OK to proceed with the uninstallation.

9.When prompted, click OK to reboot your system.

10.When your system has rebooted, click Cancel when Windows detects new
hardware.

11.Run the downloaded file SBXF_PCDRV_LB_2_07_0004.exe and install the drivers. The other applications that are shipped with the X-Fi may need to be installed from the CD.

12.Reboot PC when prompted.

13.Relaunch Battlefield2.

14.You can now apply Sound Blaster X-Fi settings in the game's audio settings and proceed.

Note: You can also run Setup.exe from the following location on the hard drive C:\Programs\Creative\Sound Blaster X-Fi\Program.

Should the problem persist, you can manually search and rename the following three files in your computer, and then install the Sound Blaster X-Fi again.
CT_OAL.DLL
OPENAL32.DLL
WRAP_OAL.DLL

Re: X-fi trouble

Hmm. I am not sure if this sound card supports USB headset but I am not sure. Get more help at www.creative.com

Re: X-fi trouble

NO..you can either use the SOUND CARD or the USB HEADPHONES. The USB headphones act as thier own sound card. The only way to get the full benefit of the X-Fi is to get 5.1 headphones and plug them in analog mode.
