Windows 7: Proublem with X-Fi XtremeGamer on W7

Hello, i am having trouble with the sound on windows 7, my sound card is currently X-Fi XtremeGamer and i tried to manually install the new drivers form their websites and autoupdate but it seems that Windows 7 can't reconize it somehow.

I am using the 64 bit's version, i don't know if this has anything to do with it but i said it anyhow.

and i also tried to re inst Windows 7 2 times just to see if it's works.

And the sound card is not damaged

Im not that good at computers but im not a total newbie either but please explain carefully, thanks and i hope this forum can help me since i don't seem to get help anywhere else or find a solution to my proublem.

Thanks in advance.

For X-Fi XtremeGamer try these. http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-...09/td-p/527485

chev those are for the Audigy SE/LS/DE/Value, SB Live 24 bit, and the Xtreme Audio; in no way are they for the real X-Fi cards, which the Xtreme Gamer is.

The one that rest1peace needs for his card is from #3 here,

Creative Sound Cards.

I tried that link but i didn't under stand much about it and i scrolled further down and found the error i got and i tried to unzip the update into a map and then update manually but when i try that the wdma_emu files in drivers can't be seen did i zip it wrong into the map i created wrong or whaT?


damn this is stressing me out

I think you got my solution stormy, i just need some more help

You need to go down to near the bottom of that driver page and click on the one that says Rapid share. After that choose the free user option and then you need to wait in order to pick up the download.

Is this safe?


and how do you know this is the one i need?


and btw one more thing, when im in device manager----> sound vido and game controllers i have two things i can click there

Creative sb x-fi

and High definition Audio device which one?

kinda confused
and since am a a newbie, how should i inst it? like stormy said or just normal?

Yes they are safe, also you will need to ok the install in Windows as these aren't considered approved drivers.


1st) Do NOT install the driver manually (from Device Manager) or by running \Drivers\Setup.exe, otherwise you'll trigger the infamous low volume bug.

To avoid issues, simply run the main installer.

You are also supposed to remove these files before you install those drivers.
IMPORTANT: Before installing this version, start Windows in Safe Mode and delete the following files:

- 32-bit: C:\Windows\System32\UDAAPO32.DLL
- 64-bit: C:\Windows\System32\UDAAPO64.DLL and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\UDAAPO32.DLL

Ok chev gonna try yours

how to unstall them?

and when i have clicked the link you gave me is it a straight forward install?

Sorry if im asking a lot of questions but im in a real pinch here and i really appriciate your help=)

Once you get the file it's fairly straight forward other than the Windows errors because of using unapproved drivers.

Ok 2 more silly questions then, i found the udaapo64.dll but there are two of these files, delete both?

and how do i start up in safe mode?

and should i install hasjtab ?
