Proublem with X-Fi XtremeGamer on W7

[rest1peace]

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 w7 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 w7 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. SB P17X Series Support Pack 1.6 (OUTDATED) - Audig... - Creative Labs

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,

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.

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=)

 

[chev65]

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

You don't really uninstall those files you just delate them after you find them by doing just what it says to do, start up in safe mode, browse to C:\Windows\System32\UDAAPO64.DLL and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\UDAAPO32.DLL if you are running 64 bit, remove those two files.

For 32 bit you only need to remove one file. - 32-bit: C:\Windows\System32\UDAAPO32.DLL

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 ?

 

[chev65]

For safe mode most systems can get there by hitting F8 on start up or you can go into system configuration and set it up to boot into safe mode.

 

[rest1peace]

To verify the file hashes, I recommend HashTab.

should i install this too?

 

[chev65]

Those drivers have been tested many times so I'm sure the Hash is good.

 

[rest1peace]

But i do i need to install HashTab and the link you gave me?

what is hashtab and what does it do

 

[rest1peace]

Download:

Filename: XFI_SupportPack_2_0.exe
File size: 91.0 MB
CRC32 hash: 566C5E56
SHA-1 hash: BA4B85CDD1F36F992FB281D81205EEFCF0F9DBC0

To verify the file hashes, I recommend HashTab.

Mirrors: RapidShare

 

[chev65]

It just verifies the driver to make sure it's correct. During the driver installation Windows 7 will put up "Unapproved driver error" notice just click yes to install when that happens.

 

[rest1peace]

whay is the file 91mb?

thats kinda big for some files

 

[chev65]

This is the way it works with Creative, in fact the original drivers were a much bigger download but that was before Creative stripped all the useful sound options out,.
