Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio

Download this driver for X-fi, work 100% in W7.

» PAX PCI XFI Windows 7 V1.20

and read that post if there any trouble.

PCI or PCI-E version? The drivers are different for each.

My link is for PCI version, other versions here:

» XP,Vista,Win 7 Driver Support for Audigy,XFI,Xtreme Audio,USB,PCI E Support Cards

Its PCI,
Ive seen that page before, is it the
-PAX PCI XFI Windows 7 Full V 1.15 i need?
or do i need
-PAX X-FI OS Driver V6.55 codename “Wing Foot”
Or doesnt it matter between the two? I need whats best for getting the surround sound and mic working.

Neither as both of those are for the real X-Fi's, of which your isn't. If you insist on trying his drivers you need any of the one's near the bottom that are based on any of the XFXA driver sets, none of the others will work. If in doubt compare the driver version he lists with what is available from Creative for your card.

P.S. Nice to see that his descriptions of his supposed driver sets (all he does is add device ID's and make some very questionable INF changes) are as messy as the INF changes he makes. Oh and in case anyone is wondering what I mean about him and his messy modding,

One of these days he may just change the name as there is little to nothing left of PAX, for the same reason that the YouP name has been dropped from them.

Since May 29 there has been a new X-Fi Xtreme beta driver for Windows 7 available here:

Creative Worldwide Support

Have you tried it? It works fine with my SB X-Fi Xtreme card. Note that it automatically seems to install itself as a "7.1 Surround" system. You will need to go into "Control Panel | Sound" and select ""Configure" to choose the speaker option that matches the audio set-up you actually have.

wait may 29 are you sure? i dled drivers from there yesterday and it was
XFXA_W7DRVBETA_US_1_04_0000.exe
XFXA_W7DRVBETA_US_1_04_0090.exe

Ill dl that now and give it a go im currently using my audigy2 card

Hope you realize that your Audigy 2 is a better card than the Xtreme Audio.
