Windows 7: C-MEDIA Freezy my PC

I'm glad it worked out for other cards. Most likely it will work for all the C-Media chipsets.

am i missing something?
which driver did you installed? I´m running Windows 7 64-bits version... I could install the vista version of the striker driver, but i still get my pc stuck when i try to open the xear 3d icon...

can someone help?

try this one

VISTA (32/64bit) Rev.1730 16.7MB Jan 5 2009 s81730ex.zip

works for me

Hi Borwitz,

That's bad news. I used the driver for Striker 7.1 Vista 32/64. I think the same as Ajulian mentioned out. Then the Xear3d worked for me, but still no sound. Then I used the drivers for my own card. This is the thing that got everything running. The drivers were installed, but it didn't update de Xear3D software. I did get the options for my card. I really hoped this would work for all C-Media chipsets. Let us know if it works for you.

i got a terratec aureon 5.1 pci also with the c-media chip on board.
my sys is an x86 64bit Windows 7 core 2 quad
tried 3 days to activate the spdif .. also tried your hints about the striker card...
nothing worked always teh system freeze if i ttried to start the soft from the tray

now i found this page
cmediadrivers - Google Code

it's for all cards with the c-media 8738/8768 chipset!!

installed it and now i don't need the soft becaus spdif is activated and you can also playback dts/dolby bitstream!!!! WOW

... was hard work 4 me to find a solution ..
but you guys showed me the direction

lg

Ok, I could install it, test it so the 5 speakers to work, but when I play music in windows media player, only 2 of the speakers work actually... I already set the default sound device as player of WMP, but it still doesn´t work properly...

any more tips??

maybe try this

it's from their FAQ:
FAQ - cmediadrivers - Frequently Asked Questions - Google Code

C Media already has a windows 7 drivers for this product "CMI8738 Windows 7 RC Build7100 CMI8738 BETA driver for Windows 7
You can download it from this link: C-Media Company Information

The problem is that when you use wndows media player, winamp or other program for listen multimedia files, only plays on front speakers, they also have a message in the bottom of the page: Windows 7 beta drivers do not support to record the playing digital audio (WAVE)

Somebody has any solution for listen music in all speakers??

Try seting System input to 2 CH and analog output to 6 CH in c-media control panel. Worky for me that way in all players you mentioned
